CEMENT PIPE IS ORDERED
Contract for Lower Alblna Sevter
I Let.
Signalizing changed conditions In
municipal construction work, the flrst
contract for a district sewer to be made
prescribing cement pip was awarded
yesterday afternoon by th Executive
Board. The report of the sewer com
mltte' recommending that th bid of
WlUiam Lind. HJJ.JOe. for th River
side district sewer. Lower Alblna, be
accepted, was adopted by th Execu
tive Board.
Thle notion, which created net a rip
ple at the meeting and took only a few
seconds of time, was th culmination
of fight that baa been waged bitterly
the past six months.
Tha last actual stand of those op
posed to this pip material waa at the
meeting of th sewer committee of the
Board. Thursday. Two weeks ago.
when bids were opened for cement pip
sewers, on bid for terra cotta was also
submitted. Aa the fight had then
progressed so far that cement pipe had
been decided upon, some of the Board
members doubted th sincerity of th
bid for terra cotta, which was 1300
below any of the cement pip bids. It
waa considered that an effort waa be
ing mad to reopen the light, and
those looking forward to better sanita
tion In Lower Alblna wer opposed to
further delay.
Before th Executive Board session
yesterday th members ef th sewer
eommitte held another meeting and
decided to recommend the lowest-
priced cement pip ror aaopuou. w
rat of the largest contractors in the
city had submitted bids providing for
the us of oeraent pipe.
Th Riverside sewer is expected to
relieve present conditions south of
XUllngswerth avenue. The main trunk
aa-rvr will be more than one and one
half miles long. with, laterals extending

WEST'S CLAIM IS FAKE
HE HAS NOT RESIDED IX CLAT
SOP COCXTT FOR SIX YEARS.
Ex-Senator Fulton Exposes Candl
date's Pretense and Saya People
Want No Bournelsm.
Claims of Oswald West. Bourne-Chamberlain
machine candidal for Governor,
to residence In Clatsop County are a
fake devised for political purpose. This
was the opinion advanced yesterday by
ex-Senator C W. Fulton, who resided for
many years In Astoria and who spoke
at Tuesday night's Republican meeting
there. Mr. Fulton also made the predic
tion that Clatsop will glv a handsome
majority to Jay Bowerman. Republican
direct primary nominee.
"I accompanied Mr. Bowerman to As
toria and he received a most enthusiastic
welcome." said Mr. Fulton. "His meet
ing was on of th largest I have ever
seen In that city. It waa held in the
opera-hous and many were unable to
get In, th standing room being ail oc
cupied as well as the seats. I am confi
dent Bowerman will carry Clatsop by a
substantial majority.
"When he is In Astoria. Mr. West
claims that city as his home, and by that
little subterfuge he will secure th sup
port of a few Republicans, but not many.
It Is quit generally understood that tha
original purpose of that constructive
residence waa to enable West, as the
representative of Chamberlain, to keep
In touch with the fishermen vote. True,
West did actually reside in Astoria a
short time, going there from Salem to
accept a position in a bank. After resid
ing there a year or two he returned with
hla family to Salem, where he baa since
resided. He owns no property In Astoria.
I am informed, and has no Interests
there, but since removing therefrom In
IMS or 1KH has mad a pretense of re
taining his residence there.
"A friend writes me that in 1908 West
registered as residing at 620 Commercial
street, in Astoria; that was probably a
joke, for there waa no dwelling at that
number and never had been, and West
and his family were then living in Salem.
In 1906 he registered as residing at No.
6;i Exchange street, but it Is known that
he did not then and never had resided
there. It was a private residence owned
acd occupied by another party. In 1910
he changed his residence to ill Harrison
avenue, but no one ever heard of his re
siding there: on the contrary, the dwell
ing at that number was also owned and
occupied by another person with his fam
ily. Of course. Wesf s claim of residence
la Astoria 1 a fake. He actually resides
in Salem.
"As for Chamberlain, the fishermen no
longer have any us for him. They hav
becom -wlse to the fact that while pre
tending to be their very dear friend dur
ing so many years he was, la truth, their
most subtle and Industrious enemy. He
promised their representatives to sup
port their cholc for Fish Warden, but.
Instead of doing so. he accorded to their
most bitter enemy the selection of the
appointee to that offlc. Ia truth, the
knowledge that Chamberlain is backing
West will lose the latter many votes
In Clatsop and gain him none.
Then, the well-known combination be
tween Chamberlain and Bourne Is mili
tating against West also. The Repub
licans of the Lower Columbia have never
had much us for Bourne, and now his
treason to the party and conspiracy with
Chamberlain to dofeat the Republican
primary nominees has excited Intense
bitterness against him. Hence, when
Bourne publicly advised them to vote
for West, he drove many who would
otherwise have done so to the support
of Bowerman. They realise that a vote
for West is a rote to strengthen Bourne
two years hence. All this, coupled with
th fact that Bowerman while visiting
Astoria made a fin impression. In my
Judgment assures him a majority in Clat
sop County"

This city had a good chance to land
the meeting of 1U. but the require
ments call for a building with at least
SO 000 square feet of floor-space, on
one level, and a hall to accommodate
400 persons, besides. This put Port

Th meetings themselves are only a
minor feature of the sessions of this

TOTS ENJOY DEATH RIDE
BOYS OX RUNAWAY FLATCAU
CALL RUSH "DANDY."
Eddie Parsons, S, and Bert, 5 Years
Old, Just Slightly Hurt Father
and Mother In Hospital.
"We had a dandy ride, didn't we,
Eddie?" said S-year-old Bert Parsons
to his brother, two years his senior, as
the two romped about the home of
their aunt. Mrs. Edward Dye, at Linn
ton yesterday.
The boys are the sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Parsons and wer with their
parents on the death-dealing trip of a
flatcar down the west slope of Tuala
tin Hill on the' United Railways exten
sion Wednesday night. They escaped
with comparatively slight Injuries. Ed
ward has a out on his forehead. Bert
has a black eye and a bruise on his
ba"Mamma is slcf.said Eddls. "but I
ain't sick. I got cut on my head but
that don't hurt"
The remarkable escape of the boys
In the accident that either killed or
Injured 80 of the 35 passengers on the
car Is attributed to the fact that in
their Ignorance of impending disaster
they made no effort to save themselves,
remaining passive on their Improvised
seats until they were shaken off by
the collision. Those who Jumped or
clung to the car for support were the
worst hurt.
Mrs. Parsons, mother of the boys, is
at the Good Samaritan Hospital suffer
ing from nervousness due to the shock
and excitement. Bhe also has minor
Injuries. Her concern for her children
and her fear that they might be killed,
it is believed, sre responsible for her
condition. With the knowledge that
they are safe she Is rapidly recover
ing. Roy Parsons, the boys' father, is the
only member of the family badly hurt.
He has a fractured arm. Ho broke It
first in the accident. It was attended
at the camp by the company physician
and he remained there with hla wife
and children Wednesday night- The
following day Mrs. Parsons was ad
vised to go to the hospital. In assist,

broke his arm the second time. Then

FAIR PLAY
Mr. Voter, we believe you are fair
and will play fair. If you live remote
from counties where a small proportion
of the voters and taxpayers want to
slice up the county, create new offices
and bullti new courthouses, why should
you not vote against It? To play fair
Is to let the voters settle their own
local differences. From all parts come
reports that voters will not try to di
vide the outside counties any more than
they will vote for county officers In
another county. Vote NO on creation
df all new counties, and against annex
ation of parts of Clackamas and Wash
ington Counties to Multnomah.
