GDUNTYTALK DROPS
Annexation to Multnomah
Only Issue.
Is
ESTACADA ALSO WILLING
Argument Is Advanced That Terri
tory Affected Itlghtfully Belongs
to Portland Because Proierty
Owners Trade in City.
That the proposition of forming a
new county out of the northern portion
of Clackamas will hardly be heard of
again, but that the people of that dis
trict will concentrate their efforts for
annexation to Multnomah County, is
the prediction of B. Lee Paget, presi
dent of the newiy-organlzed Multnomah-Clackamas
Annexation Associa
tion. "Of the 19 delegates from the Clack
amas County district affected, that met
In Portland last night, only one ex
pressed himself strongly in favor of
the organization of a new county," said
Mr. Paget yesterday. "This was one
of the two delegates from Estacada.
Uelegates from other points near there
were strongly opposed to such course.
"The persons interested in the move
ment have not expected the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company to
do anything but oppose it. Annexation,
in time, will mean the extension of
Portland's city limits in that direction
and the embracing of more of the com
pany's electric lines, which will thus
be brought under the live-cent fare
requirement.
Golf Players Are Opposed.
"But I notice that In the Interview
with Mr. Josselyn In The Oregonian he
opposes annexation in behalf of the Oolf
Club. Annexation is likely to be fol
lowed, he believes, by the combination
of the city and county governments,
and he thinks that city taxes imposed
on the golf links would make them a
too expensive playground.
"Now. as a matter of fact, the total
tax levy in Portland is IS mills. This
Includes everything city, county school
and Port of Portland taxes. In Clack-
amaa County the golf links are now as
sessed at a rate of 19 mills. .
"It looks as if Mr. Josselyn seized
the first argument ne happened to think
of in opposition to annexation ' without
posting himself on the subject.
"One strong reason why Multnomah
County should support the movement
is that annexation would bring under
the Jurisdiction of this county the en
tire Mount Hood wagon road. There
Is much interest .now being taken In
the improvement of this highway, that
it may become one of the strong- tour
ist attractions of Portland. Attempts
to .build roads jointly by two or more
counties are never satisfactory.
Territory Is Portland's.
"The territory it is proposed to an
nex, also, is really Portland territory.
The farmers there find their markets
In Portland and the Portland merchant's
control the trade of the district. There
are several small towns along the
electric lines that are suburbs of Port
land. The cars every morning carry
large numbers of men front there to
business in the city. There is no travel
the other way to business in Oregon
City. The Clackamas River Is a nat
ural boundary line, and the people liv
ing north of It have no use for roads
to Oregon City. They do business in
Portland, and go to Oregon City only
once a year to pay taxes."
The Clackamas County district to be
affected by the movement lies north of
a line beginning at the mouth of the
Clackamas River, thence following the
stream to the section line just south
of Cazadero, and thence following the
section line east to the boundary of
the county. The Annexation Associa
tion, in defining the proposed district,
has not yet closed the gap" between the
mouth of the Clackamas River and the
western boundary of the county. This
will be taken up at tne next meeting,
which will be held Monday night. It
is practically settled, however, that the
proposed district will include Oswego.
Postmaster's Assailant Sentenced.
CHEHAUS. Wash.. Feb. 8. (Special.)

WILL GARBAGE GO?
Crematory Matter Up to
Councilmen Today.
MAYOR EXPRESSES HQPE
Modern Burner, to Cost Approxi
mately $120,000, Sadly Needed
That Epidemic May Be Avert
ed Inspects Old Plant.
"I hope." said Major Simon upon clos
ing his office in the City Hall last night,
"that the Council tomorrow morning will
pass an ordinance appropriating funds
for the construction of a garbage crema
tory." It is now up to the City Council to say
whet-tier the city shall have a modern
burner that will avert tn epidemic of
disease and enable the health authorities
to act quickly in cleaning up the refuse
near the present plant on Guild's Lake.
Mayor Simon, City Health Officer
Wheeler and members or the Council paid
a brief visit to the old. wornout plant
yesterday end viewed the situation, which
is positively dangerous. Even now. with
cool weather, the stench Is so strong that
the Mayor refused to accept an Invita
tion of Superintendent Kapler to inspect
the dump, where lies piled hundreds1 of
tons1 of putrid refuge, gathered from all
parts of the city.
The small burner now in operation, al
though worked day and night, consumes
but about 40 tons daily less than one
third the amount required to keep
abreast of the scavengers who haul to
the establishment.
"I would like to show you gentlemen
the dump," said Superintendent Napier,
after the Mayor - and members of the
Council inspected the furnaces of the
old plant. -
"I do not care to inspect It," said
Mayor Simon significantly, as he cast his
eyes toward the great waste of ground
covered many feet deep with garbage
that has been lying there for years,
growing larger with each succeeding
month, until it threatens a disease epi
demic. Councilman Cellars was the only mem
ber of the Council who had the nerve
to venture out a portion of the way, but
It was noticed that he, accompanied by
Dr. Wheeler, returned to the Incinerator
quickly.
The situation now Is that the Council
must appropriate funds to the extent of
approximately $120,000 for the construc
tion of a modem plant, after which the
Board of Health to select the type of
Incinerator, award the contract and build
the crematory. If the Council refuses, to
do this, the hands of the Mayor and
members of the Board are tied. The
Council is to meet this morning.
PORTLAND CASE TOLD WIFE
Bigamist Husband Advised San
Francisco Spouse to Come Here.
SAX FRANCISCO. Feb.' 8. (Special.)
Mrs. Ethel Ross, living at 170 Dore street,
received information from Portland this
.morning, telling of the arrest of her
husband. John Ross, an electrician on a
charge of bigamy. The dispatch says
Roes was married In the Northern city
on December 23 to Helen Jenkins, who
traveled from San Francisco with him.
Ross left his wife and 2-year-old baby
December 20. saying he was going to
Portland to get employment and that he
would send for her Immediately.
Mrs. Ross has received many letters
from her husband, the last telling her to
come to Portland February 15. She was
completing her arrangements for the trip
when she received the notice of her hus
band's arrest.
Mrs. Ross is a pretty woman. 22 years
old. and was married to Ross .in June,
1907. She says she never heard of Helen
Jenkins and can give no reason for her
husband's action. Rosi Is only 22 years
old.
12TH BODY IS WASHED UP
Another Supposed Czarina " Victim j
Remains Found at limp qua Bar.
GARDINER. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) A
body, supposed to -be that of a seaman
or officer of the wrecked Czarina, was
found today by members of the Umpqua
Lifesaving Service, a short distance north
of the Umpqua bar. It was brought to
Gardiner for burial.
The clothing on the body consisted of
an undershirt, an overshirt and .vest, all
of good material. Nothing was found,
however, by which the remains could be
identified. Pour bodies are now buried
here and eight at Coos Bay, making 12,
or half the number lost in the Czarina
wreck, January 12.
The greatest danger from Influenza
Is of Its resulting in pneumonia. This
can be obviated by using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, as it not only cures in
fluenza, but counteracts any tendency
of the disease toward pneumonia. Sold

BOARD ASKS BIDS
Water Commission , Seeks
Mains' Installation
SEVERAL STREETS NAMED
Results of Call for Estimates on
Proposed Work Will Be Watched
With Interest, Owing to Pre
dicament of the City.
A desperate effort is to bo made by
the Water Board to secure bids for the
installation of some mains in the near
future. In order to keep ahead of pro
posed hard-surface pavements.
Yesterday afternoon the board or
dered several streets advertised In the
official paper, and sent to the City
Council a- large batch of resolutions,
calling for mains In others. The re
sults will be watched with deep Inter
est throughout the city, owing to the
acute situation prevailing.
As the present law requires payment
for mains under 10 inches to be made
by the "benefited property," contractors
are afraid to bid. They declare they
may lose their money, should any property-owner
refuse to pay. as the law
has never been tested and Its legality
Is very much In doubt. Whenever bids
have been received they have been
about 10 per cent higher than the engi
neer's estimate, the 10 per cent being
added for safeguarding the contrac
tor's Interest In case of litigation.
Mayor Simon recently proposed to
submit an amendment, making pay
ment for all mains from water funds,
but he recalled it because of opposi
tion. This leaves the situation as It
was. and there is a. grave question as
to whether contractors will bid in an
acceptable manner. The bids soon to
be received will make this clear.
The board also declined to grant an
extension of 30 days' time to the Bar
ber Asphalt Paving Company for a
water main on Ninth street, but granted
one of the same length on Glisan street
to the same company.
"I suggest that we do not grant the
extension of time on Klnth street," said
Mayor Simon, who was presiding. "Let
us show these contractors that we want
work done more promptly."
Oakar Huber, manager of the com
pany, will be notified of the action of
the Water Board. This is the first
time since the new board took charge
that an extension of time has been de
nied, and it is significant. The policy
of the entire administration is to in
sist upon the execution of contracts to
the letter, unless there is very good
excuse. In this case the company al
leges bad weather,-but the board evi
dently feels that this is Inadequate.
GASOLINE CAR WANTED
Springfield Aslcs Better Service to
Coburg and Eugene.
SPRINGFIELD. Or., Feb. 8. (Spe
cial.) Tired of promises of future
streetcar service and seeing a chance
for immediate relief, two petitions are
being circulated to the Southern Pacific
Company, asking that a gasoline car,
similar to those In use between Port
land and Sllverton, be placed on hourly
service between Coburg, Springfield
and Eugene.
The plan Is aid to be satisfactory
to some 15,000 people along the route.
At present It costs 40 cents to ride to
Eugene and back, a distance of three
miles, or else one can walk three-quarters
of a mile to the end of the street
car line. The service is hourly.
