There was a lively discussion In mass
meet Ins- last night of the matter of
hard-surface ravin- for Newberg. Kep.
resentatlves of a number of paving
companies from Portland participated.
There was a large attendance of inter
ested property owners. Many questions
were asked of the paving men and con
cessions were made by all of them as
to prices. A representative of one of
the companies read affidavits aa to the
poor quality of work done by one- of
Its competitors In Ann Arbor, Mich,
and the latter got back with counter
afOdavlja to the effect that the docu
ment had not been secured by fair
means. It was also shown by the
counter affidavits that Ann Arbor Is
still laying the pavement thu criti
cised. At the conclusion of the discussion
the owner of the property to be taxed
for the proponed paving held a meet
In; by themselves and voted unani

into their new organisation half
heartedly and anticipating; defeat. Then
the Taft. leaders had an exceptional op
portunity. They were In control of the
party orsanlxatlon and might have
forced conventions which Taft un
doubtedly would have carried through
the unpreparedne.ss of his opponents.
But In most Instances the Taft lead
ers slept on their opportunity and
waited to face a desperate fight and
the danger of a party eplit. This op
portunity was especlslly Invlttns; In
King. County, but It was not seized. It
till existed in Whatcom, where the
Taft forces won half a delegation, but
must face one of those convenient
ltoosevelt contests.
Money to support the Taft campaign
has been woefully short. There has
been far more financial support Riven
the ltoosevelt fight than the urugnle
fir the Administration, snd this short
age of campaign material has been felt
In the northern counties.
( The ltoosevelt National committee.
too. has kept in Detter toum mm
county organizations than the Taft or
ganisation has. Direct communication
from Washington has been easy to the
county ltoosevelt managers and they
have acted In contests, and In the
whole campaign, on the advice from
the National rather than a state or
ganisation. This circumstance has
helped enthusiasm and has made the
election of delegates determined to
carry out a programme easy. And
whatever Is done at Aberdeen by the
Roosevelt organization. It can safely
he asserted will be done upon orders
from Washington.
Vile Polndexter abandoned the Wis
consin aolon and then the Progressive
Republican League, organised in La
Follette' behalf, became dormant. Not
ven passive resistance was given the
proposal to turn the Insurgent strength
over to Roosevelt.
The final blow came when La Fol
lett was campaigning In Oregon, and
they some unidentified "theys" told
him that the Washington delegation
was to be hand-picked and that It was
useless for him to come to this state.
As a matter of fact, all the larger
county delegations have been chosen,
or are yet to be chosen, since that time,
and a swlnr through Wasl-.lngton by
La Follette would have been exceed
ingly dangerous to the Roosevelt or
ganization. There are some sincere La
Follette men who do not Ilk this fea
ture of the present campaign, but they
are atlll disorganized and probably will
be nnable or disinclined to make any
strenuous protest.
Weaaea'a Vote I akaewa UaaatltT.
The women's vote that Is now a fac
tor la Washington la an entirely un
known quantity. Insofar as National or
state politic la concerned. But even
with that circumstance considered. It Is
safe to say on the basis of the pri
maries of 110 that Washington Is still
Insurgent, though Its Insurgency Is divide.!-
Tet, despite this fact, the Taft
forces have had a good chance to carry
Washington, and the chance, though not
a bright aa It waa. Is atlll apparent.

tion, which resulted In disbanding the
Kufua R Wilson state committee. Jeft

.Man Pay Wife When Marriage
Kxpcnse I I'npald.
On the plea of O. O. Schmltt. .the
defendant's attorney, that the expenses
of the wedding bad not yet been paid
and that his client was submerged In
debt as a result of bis venture onto
the matrimonial sea. Presiding Judge
KavanaUgh yesterday morning over
ruled a motion for ISO a month ali
mony and I12& attorney's fees In the di
vorce case of Kmlly I'ocock against
W. C I'ocock. They were married last
February.
Schmltt declared their trouble was
merely a children's quarrel.
""In the circumstances I feel that
these young people should not be en
couraged In going through with this
nivorce action." said Judge Kavanaugh.
"it hardly seems fair to load a man
down with divorce costs before the
expenses of his marriage have been
paid. The motltm for alimony and at
torney's fees is overruled."
"But Is this man not required to
support his wlfeT" demanded A. K.
Hooker, attorney for Mrs. Pocock.
"one Is his wife and the law pro
vides a method of forcing him to pay
all her reasonable bills." said the Judge.
"As to attorney fees I believe the
Judge who tries the case Is best quail
lied to decide what is reasonable."
Mrs. I'ocock charges her husband
with cruel and Inhuman treatment. In
his answer he charges that she la ex
travagant. He Is a carpenter and earns
l a day. but he declares It Is Im
possible for him to get steady work.
Attorney Kcliraltt declared that Mrs.
Pocock. formerly Miss Kmlly Stephens,
"went home to mother" about the first
time th couple quarreled and started
the divorce suit without carefully con
sidering what she 'Was doing. v

POOL PAPERS ONLY
PARTLY DESTROYED
Wire Company Official Tells of
Futile Effort to Prevent
" Discovery.
"POLICY" LUNCHEONS HELD
Oovermrnt I'nsMCcensful In Prelim
inary Effort to Prove) President
of Steel CorMrntlon Knew
About Denis.
NKW YOriK. May 9. The question
whether officers of the American Sterl
c Wire Company ordered the destruc
tion of the evldenco used In the so
called Jackson wire pool cases before
or after the filing of the pending dis
solution suit against the United States
Steel corporation was answered today.
Frank itaarkes. vice-president of the
wire company, testified before Com
missioner Brown that he hnd given the
order to Geornc A. Oragin. his assistant
sales manager at Worcester. Mass., last
September or early In October. The
suit was filed on October .'6.
Baackes testified further that he hud
given orders after the dissolution of
the wire pools three years ago for the
destruction of ull the papers connect
ing his company with the pools, but
that the order had been executed only
partly. It was duo to this oversight
that the papers now In question came
into the hands of the Government.
Teatlmoay Cornea aa Surprise.
This testimony came somewhat as a
surprise, as it was elicited by the
Steel Corporation's attorneys after they
had fought to prevent Baackes front
answering questions rutrarding the
dates fit his visits to Worcester, where
the papers were destroyed by Harry A.
Whitney, a subordinate who subse
quentlv resigned.
Whitney has testified that Baackes
kave him the order personally during
a visit Ilaackcs made to Worcester In
November and that at the grand Jury
Investigation Into the disappearance of
I the papers an effort was made ny
Baackes and CTagin to guiue nis icsu
monv In this regard. They hoped he
would testify that the directions were
given by Cragln. he said.
Both Cragln and HaAckes today
dented Whitney's testimony, but neither
could give the exact dates upon which
Baackes visited Worcester.
Farrell Not Implicated.
While Cragln was on the stand, Mr.
Dickinson for the Government tried
unsuccessfully to get the witness to
say that James H. Farrell. now presi
dent of the L'nited States Steel Corpora
tion, was aware of the wire pools.
Cragln stoutly lenled that he had
ever hud any correspondence or any
conversation with Farrell on the sub
ject. The papers Cragln testified, were de
stroyed some' time In November.
The meetings of the wire pools were
taken up and Mr. T'lcklnson tried to
get from the witnesses corroboration
of the Government's contention that
after the pools were formally aban
doned prices continued to be fixed In
formally at lurichcon meetings at the
Railroad Club.

RAY COX READY COPY
FOR DRAMATIC CRITICS
Actrest From Southland Want Salon, Children and House on Real River;
Also to Entertain Female Elbert Hnbbards.
BT U90NB CASS BAER.
WHETHER Ray Cog has her In
terview chatter all tucked up
her sleeve ready to be sprung
when she Is railed upon to talk for
publication Is a nice little matter that
will forever remain unsettled In my
mind. She la positively the best
"copy" I ever met up with. She la as
fresh and wholesome as any breexe
from her own Sunny South lands.
She's a natural born comedienne "on
and off to use stage parlance. She
says It Isn't so much her sense of
humor as her Imagination that keeps
her alive. She works both overtime
and knows no nnlon hours. And be
sides being burdened with all this she
adds further to her troubles by being
an ardent suffragist. Ever see the
word suffragist used' without ardent
in front of it?
To go back to where we started,
however. Ray Cox la a fund of Interest.
She talks In epigrams. She has orig
inal Ideas, or If they aren"t original
she puta them out In such a way that
they bear the hallmarKs of newness.
She considers her voice, or lack of It.
as an affliction.
"I know It was wished upon me for
some sin In prehistoric times. Maybe,
as I was leaping from eras; to crag
when I waa a merry little mountain
goat. I stopped to laugh at or poke fun
at somebody's voice, and so I got It
for mine when I reached this life."
Now that's what she thinks about
her voice. ' -
kca Vala. Not Cancelled.
J haven't an ounce of conceit," she
prattled on. . "I have vanity. Lord lova
you. yals; vanity In that I try to help
along to the best of my ability what
ever has been given to me. It helps
me off stage as well as on. But I
never try to fool myself Into thinking
that I do not need It. I know my limi
tations, and that il certainly am not
good looking. I don't mind, really,
either, because I can make up for the
stage so that I fairly daxzle myself
sometimes. The other day I went Into
a shop here. A little girl who waited
on me said. 'Ain't you at the Orpheumr
I said, 'yals." 'Ain't you Ray CoxT she
asked.
" Yais,' I said, again.
Tou should have seen the poor
child's face fall.
"'My! You're so pretty on the stage,'
she flattered."
Now that's what Miss Cox says she
thinks about Miss Cox. An unbiased
Judgment of her personal charms reads
differently. She Is alarmingly tall, and
she strides and swings and uses up all
the other athletic terms of description.
She has reddish hair, soft and fussy,
like a baby's, and she wears only one
wee little rat. Her paws shut ominous
ly In a b-e-w-a-r-e manner If she's ex
cited over her subject; they almost
locked and foamed at the mouth when
she got worked up about women's
wrongs and rights.
False Beatlaaeat LmUii.
She 1s some agitator, believe me. and
not from any false sentiments about
that taxation without representation
thing, either. It's a sort of "if I'm a
bad girl, you're a bad boy" argument
with Mtss Cox. She'd Just like to see
any man tell her she can't vote.

Mlaa Ray Cox at the Orpheum.
She's a Vassar girl. At least she
was there. "I got as far as the
freshman year." explains J!!sg Cox,
"and there wasnt enough money In the
family treasury to keep me going, so
I quit and got a grand Job at 13.50 a
week add resin e envelopes. At the
same time I took up stenography and
as far as I can learn, I hold the cup
undisputably as the.vry worst sten
ographer who ever clicked a key. My
services were never In 'awful' demand,
but I managed to eke out an existence
until 'the call' came. I had known for
y'ars and y'ars that it was coming.
"Away down In my heart 1 had
cherished an ambition to shine on the
other side of the footlights. It was
one of those sacred untalked-about
ambitions. I used to take It out and
croon over It at night. When my chance
came It was only an answering of what
I had hoped for so long that 1 knew
It must come some day."
Aetreaa Mental Scientist.
So you see, she admitted what I
had suspected ever since we had been
talking that she's a mental scientist.
More beside, she's an analyst, a dis
sector, a puler-apart of emotions. Most
of us are content to accept things as
they are on the surface or at best not
to Interfere.
But Ray Cox is the most industrious
lnterferer you ever saw.
Her large and looming ambition is
to quit the profession and have a home
of her very own somewhere on the
banks of a real river with a family of
children to look after. Besides all
these lovely things she wants to hoard
up enough money so that she can es
tablish a salon one O. please where
she can entertain femirline Elbert
Hubbards and masculine Mary Mac
Lanes. In tho meantime, she goes
blithely on her way, for she says she
knows positively these good times are
coming. And after all, why not?

Make Ironing Day a Comfort Day
a three-pound iron is entirely satisfactory for all the lighter forms of iron

HOTPOINT ELECTRIC IRON
if cue wants to do "just a minute's
worth" of quick ironing doesn't want to
wait for the heavier iron to heat up, this
little Hotpoint is ready in no time, and be
sides, it is so light the work's a pleasure.
every woman needs it in the sewing-room,
whether or not she has a six-pound Hot

any mother knows what it means to have
an iron light enough to handle easily and

for her. She'll prize the lightness and con

Attorney Says Water System Would
Mean Rule by Sentiment. I
Attorney John B. Cleland. formerly
Circuit Judfre, spoke yesterday noon In
the Oregon Grill atv the University of
Michigan Alumni Association luncheon.
"The Recall of Judges and Judicial
Decisions" was his subject. He said
that if provision Is made for the recall
of Judges their decisions will bo swayed
by the sentiment of the community, and
that the sentiment will be made by the
man or men who are most powerful In
the community. He said. In part:
"Tho recall of decisions Is a state is
sue, although It is belnir treated as a
National issue. It would be Impolitic
to throw away entirely the safeguards
now furnished by the state constitution
and leave nothing but the vote of the
people, between existing laws and the
execution of them.
"The doctrine of the. recall Is idle un
less it does influence the Judge In mak
ing his decisions."

Here It Is See It Judge for Yourself
In the near future Portland' wealth will envy (and buy if they can) your home location.
Your soil is the Deft; your scenery the grandest; adjoining the city limits of
Multnomah's prettiest suburban villa, with Portland's conveniences, viz.:
High grade schools, churches, banks, amusements, electric lights and Bull Run
water. Two interurban rapid-transit lines will carry you to and fro with com
forts of chair cars, observation cars and smoking parlor. You will forget
the crowded, strap-hanging annoyance of all commercial cities' streetcar
service.-
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and San Francisco had to wait a century or more for electric
interurban service, denying them the comforts of an ideal suburban home, away from the annoyance of the
struggling masses confined within the limits of crowded streetcar traffic.
Conveniences, as mentioned above, insure a home of contentment for mothers and their children, sur
rounded by congenial neighbors, in a refined, moral community as found in the ideal home city of
GRESIIAM, only five miles east of Mount Tabor, adjoining the
