"Now that we hare a law under whlrh
w can operate. I shall favor the policy
of proceeding to lay malna whetever
they are required and where they pay
the necessary per cent on the In
vestment." declared Mr. Wilcox. "We
have the law. now let ns provide water
for the suffering residents of the various
suburbs, who have long been clamoring
for relief." a
"I am In hearty accord with that
poller. said Mayor Simon, whereupon
the Board proceeded to approve the
recommendations of Chief Engineer
Clarke for a large number of malna
throughout the city.
In the Mount Scott district, from
which have come load and long calls
for relief, the Board will Install a dis
tributive system that will tie Into the
Monnt Scott and Woodraere private sya
tems at least until a more pretentious
--stetn can be put In by the city. It
la agreed by 'the representatives from
the district that this will fnmlsn ample
eupply. and they are wall pleased with
the action of the Board. The completed
srateni outlined for this territory, which
Includes a larrre area, calla for the ex
penditure of H34.COO, but not all of the
mains can be laid because not all of
them will pay the required per cent,
and the city doea not care to take ad
vantage of the provision In the law
which would permit the Board to lay
the plpea and tax the cost to the abut
ting property. The cost of the work
that waa ordered la JS3.00.
New Jjmw la Paver.
Tha law wnder Which this la being
don waa adopted by vote of the people
Iwt November, a ad at declared by Mayor
fMmoa and ttte m. tube. re of the Board
to be aa admirable one. It waa recom
mended by them Jointly with the Seventh
Ward Improvement League and East
FMe push clubs and permits the lay
ing of malna by the Board from water
receipts or bonds where the revenue
to be derived equala t per eent ea
the Initial Investment. While the Board
fat empowered to lay the plpea with Its
own men If necessary. It la proposed
to call for bids for the larger Jobs, It
the bids received are- unsatisfactory,
however, tha Board wlQ do ail or the
work.
In ennneotlon with the Monnt Scott
and Woof! me re mains, a committee, con
slating of Messra. WUcox. Alnsworth
and . Maokay. waa named by Mayor
8 'man to negotiate with tha owners of
the private planta at those places to
ae what ratee they will accept for them
or en what terras they may be taken
over by the city. If desired.
It Is the determination of the Board
to supply all realdenta with plenty of
Pull Run water at the earliest possible
time, and all haste will be made to
rash the malna In districts where there
U argent need for relief. The principal
forces) of men win be put to work oa

The Water Board la now operating

paid for by the abutting property. The
new law provldea for payment for all

The old law was found to be unsatis

to submit reasonable bide) because of

Contractor Slay Not Complete Sec
ond Conduit by July 1.
The second pipeline to Bull Run reserve,
contracted to be turned over to the dry
complete July 1. 1911. will not be finished
by tnat time, according, to the state
ment of Chief Engineer Clarke, made to
the Water Board yesterday. Neither
will the reservoirs at Mount Tabor be
ready for nse early In the Summer.
In mrrnetclon with this Information,
the Schaw-Batcber Company, represented
by tivt Northwest Bridge Works, has
submitted a demand for additional pay
ment for work because Engineer Clarke
ordered them to desist from the use of
too moch explosive at certain points
along the line, as he felt It might place
the present pipeline In eopardy and cut
off or Impair the clty'a supply- The com
pany, through J. R. Bowles, endeavored
to adjust this with Mr. Clarke, but his
tieislon waa nnnt,sfactory to Mr.
Bwlrs. who carried it before the Board.
"I fail to se hy this should be
brought before the Board.1' said T. B.
Wilcox, a member. "We entered Into a
contract for this work to be done
throuch supervision of the engineer of
the Water Department: the contract Is
l ere. and ao la the engineer let a abkle
by tbe contract and let all quarrels be
tween Mm and the contractor be settled
by them.".
The subject Is referred to the engi
neer." ordered Mayor S'mon. .
This means that the dlflVrencea must
be adjusted between the company and
Mr. Clarke, and that the company will
'have to ablrfe by tbe derktfon of the en
gineer of the Board. The company al
leges that, becau-'e of Mr. Clarke's orders
relative to blasting, lt was obliged to
employ extra, labor at added cuet and
that It should be paid for tills by the
cltv.
Mayor Simon and members of the
Board were greatly disappointed because
the pipeline 4.11 not be completed on
time, aa they bad expected the company
would make a great record.
"When I lajit beard of this project, the
contractors a. re going to complets the
p!p-:toe by January U" remarked Mr.
Wilcox, "and now tlieyven't nntsh It by
July I."
Ttat Is my Judgment on the work."
explained Mr. CUrke. "If they finish It.

Electors of Oregon In the primary
nominating election of April. 1913. wtll
not only express their choice for Presi
dent and Vice-President of the United
States the first state to make soch a
popular expression but at the aame
time will nominate candidates for
state, district and county offices. This
will mean nearly a seven months' cam
paign, since the Presidential election
will not be held until November.
Every Presidential year hereafter the
primaries will be held In April, while
every alternating biennial primary
election will be held In September, as
waa the caae laat year, with the gen
eral election following In November.
Aaide from Indicating their prefer
ence for President and Vice-President
a year from April, tbe -voters will be
required to nominate three candidates
for Repreaentatlvea In Congress. If
Congreaa at lta special session next
month or the regular session In Decem
ber shall make the Congressional ap
portionment under which Oregon will
be entitled to another Representative.
The last session of the Oregon Leg
islature passed a bill redisricting the
state Into three Congressional districts,
Multnomah unattached, constituting
the new district. The provisions of this
bill, however, do not bocome operative
until Congress haa made the apportion
ment giving the state another Repre
sentative Vt Washington.
Other officers to be nominated a year
from April will be: One Justice of the
Supreme Court, two members of the
Railroad Commission and a State Dairy
and Food Commissioner In addition to
numerous Prosecuting Attorneys and
Plntrtct Attorneys. In Multnomah
County the voters will nominate can

Action Begun to Declare Contracts
VoldPrlcc Declared -to Be Kx
cesalTe and Increased Tax
I la to Threatened.
That the City of Portland haa been
and la in collusion with the Oregon
Hassam Paving Company" to Drcvent
competition with responsible contrsctors
on street Improvemrn tx; that contracts
entered into are irregular and illegal:
that the calls for bids In each of the 13
contracts Involved designated "Hanam
paving." and that C ty Engineer
Morris failed to post proper notices of
improvements according to the city char
ier, are among the chief allegations In
a suit filed yesterday In the Circuit Court
by the Terwilllmrer land Comnany
again.! me Jiry or Portland, the Oroeon
Haasam Paving Company and the Title
Uuaranty 9c. Surety Com Dan v
A oecree of the court Is prayed for to
void, to
ng the
to re-
eom
ments.
Improvements are acattered
throughout the city and Involve an ag
gregate cost or approximately J300.000.
Alleging additional cause for action
the complaint declares that the cost of
the paving In each of the 13 Improve
ments la much too high, and that as
result the city's Indebtedness will be
greatly increased. The price of 11.15 a
squsre yard la given as a fair charge
for the work, lt being pointed out that
outer oon tractors could lay eequally as
good paving at that price at a profit.
Here rence is made In the suit to the
fact that the paving company haa in
the past two years secured contracts
In excras of S2.00O.C00 without any com
petition. Each of the 13 contracts, says
the complaint, specifies "Hassam pave
ment," and In view of tbe fact that the
company lays claim to an exclusive right
to lay Hassam pavement In Oregon,
other contractors could not submit bids
as the bids would not be accepted, even
If lower than the Haasam Company's
bids.
The pavement In specifications and
proceedings was designated In each case
as Hassam pavement unlawfully, arbi
trarily and contrary to the charter of
the city," says the complaint, "and for
the purpose of preventing competition
among bidders on the Improvements, and
with full knowledge upon the part of
the City Engineer and the City Council,
that by so requiring, competition might
be destroyed and a monopoly created
n favor of tbe Oregon Hatum Paving
Company."
The complaint continues:
'It ,was well known to persons and
corporations engaged In the street con
tracting business in the city, and was
a matter of common and public notoriety
that the Executive Board of the city
would not accept any bid from any
person or corporation for the doing of
public Improvement classified as Hassam
pavement except from the defendant
company, and would joV award a con
tract to any person or corporation what
soever for the doing of any such work
classified except to the Hassam Com
pany, and because of such facta, no per
son or company submitted a bid upon
any of the, work on the streets men
tioned other than tbe defendant.'
Tbe complaint aays that unless the
contracts are cancelled and set aside
and the city enjoined from enforcing the
performance of the contracts, the In
debtedness of the city will be greatly
Increased and the taxes heretofore levied
against the property of tha plaintiff com
pany will be materially raised. It Is
estimated In the complaint that the com
pletion of the contracts would require
an assessment of 3 mills upon the tax
able property of the city. The plaintiff
owns property with an assessed valua
tion of 370.SU0, against which the tax levy
for 1S10 Is tClSC.90.
The plaintiff company asks for a de
cree on the following pleas:
L That the contracts be declared null
and void and also the bonds executed
by the Title Guaranty & Surety Com
pany be cancelled.
X That the resolutions, ordinances ana
proceedings of the City Council and ex
ecutive committee be maae nun ana
old.
3. That the Oregon Hassam Paving
Company be restrained from completing
the contracts by virtue of the authority
vested In the contracts by the city, or
from In any way tearing up or de
stroying the streets or performing any
work under the contracts.
4. That the city officials be perpetu
ally enjoined from authorising the per
formance of any. contract with the Ore
gon Hasaam Paving Company.
According to the ngurea representing
the City Engineer's estimates and the
paving comapny's bids. 11 of the 13 con
tracts were awarded on bias lower man
the estimates. One contract waa let -n
which the bid was higher than tbe esti
mate by llOIi and one contract waa let
where the estimate and the bid were
Identical. While the main purpose of
making estimates Is merely to guide the
city in the matter of determining some
where near what the coat of improve
ments shall be. it has been the practice
to give the contractors the advantage of
tbe estimates before bids are submitted.
The 13 different improvements, to
gether with the eattmatea and bids, as
shown In the complaint, include the fol

The strain and higher living of today, the dirt and
foul air in public places tend to make the skin
unequal to its work.
The pores become so full of dirt and dust that they
are unable to perform their work, with the result
that the health of the body suffers also.
For 30 years Woodbury's Facial Soap has been
used by thousands for the skin. It cleanses the
pores and acts as a stimulant, and at the same time
re-supplies what is exhausted from the skin.
