Displeased Bidders Testify In
Libel Case Saving Shown
by County Court.

Judge Darls Decide Cleeton and
Iightner Not Responsible for
Publication of Tax List At
torney Are Rebuked.
Cross-examination by Deputy District
Attorney Magulre was the bans of the
defense In the libel trial of Dana Sleeth
and the Portland News Publishing
Company In Judge Davis" court yester
day. TV. G. Hendricks, of the J. K.
Gill Company, and Charles A. Shea,
manager for John F. Shea, plumber and
ateamfitter. were witnesses for the de
fense and testified against County
Judge Cleeton and Commissioner
XJghtner. the complaining witnesses.
On direct examination Shea testified
that his bid of 113.150 for the plumb
ing In the east wing of the Courthouse
had been lowest, yet the work had been
a-lven the Hassalo Engineering Com
pany at a figure approximately 11500
higher. On cross-examination It de
veloped that the specifications had re
quired that the guarantee of the manu
facturers of plumbing materials to go
Into the building and that Shea bad
been unable or unwilling to meet this
requirement. Whtdden Lewis, the
architects. Insisted that this guarantee
be made a part of the contract.
Shea said that he had examined some
of the drain pipes In the building and
had found them much Inferior In qual
ity and rrlce to those which ho would
have furnished. He was bitter In his
attitude towards the County Court. He
hxs been furnished by the defense with
a copy of the plumbing specifications
for the east wing and will go over the
whole Job and return later to the stand
aa an expert to give testimony regard
ing the character of the work and the
quality of materials.
Bid Bnpplles Explained.
The direct testimony of Hendricks
was that his bid for the furnishings of
the office of the County Superintend
ent of Schools had been 25 per cent
lower than that of Glass Prudhomme,
yet the County Court at first refused
his bid and would have purchased from
Glass A Prudhomme had he not taken
a firm stand and Insisted on his rights.
Mr. Magulre brought out that several
months ago the County Court had
called for bids for all the furnishings
of the Courthouse. The J. K. Gill Com
pany was one of seven bidders, but
was beaten on the whole by Glass &
Prudhomme. the latter firm being giv
en the contract.
Cnaware of this fact. Mr. Armstrong,
when he needed some special furnish
ings for his office, consulted the 3.
K. Gill Company and got a bid which
developed to be 25 per cent lower than
that of Glass A Prudhomme oa the par
, tlcular articles wanted. Glass Prud
homme went ahead and furnished the
articles and sent In a bill. Mr. Hend
ricks complained to the County Court
and that body, seeing a chance to save
$100. allowed him to put In his furni
ture. Defease Losca aa Ruling.
Attempts of the defense to prove that
the County Court had been guilty of
violation of the law by ordering the
publication of the 1911 delinquent tax
list In three newspapers and the 1911
list In four newspapers, while the law
provides for publication in only two
of largest circulation, were cut short
by Judge Davie on objection from the
prosecution. The Judge held that It
Is plainly the duty of the Sheriff and
not the County Court, to secure publi
cation of the delinquent tax list.
Testerday's session was marked by
byplay between the attorneys. Judge
Davis delivered several rebukes and
threatened punishment for contempt of
court. The Judge also threatened Wit
ness Shea with punishment for con
tempt. If he continued to give his
opinions aa evidence.
The last witness called for the day
was J. M. Wllley. who made a partial
examination of the affairs of the Coun
ty Court last Summer, but who finally
was discharg"d by the County Court
on the ground of Inefficiency. He had
barely started to testify before an ad
journment was taken for the day. He
will be recalled today.
Before adjournment Judge Davis
asked the attorneys for the defense to
bring into court today all the papers
they need and to be prepared with a
list of the specific acts which they hope
to prove through Mr. Willey.

Governor Lister, who spoke on "Con
vict Labor on State Roads." the opera
house being filled. The Governor said
that there was no work being done by
convicts on any state reads, as the
prisoners were all needed In the Jute
mill, but .he promised that the work
would be taken up again In the near
future. The Governor asserted it as
his belief that Inmates of the reforma.
tory should also be used on the high'
ways.
"I find the roads along the Pacific
Highway In bad condition." the Gov
ernor said. "Of course there are oc
casional good stretches, but they are
few and far between. The i'acir.ic
Highway will benefit more people than
any other road that can be built, as it
will pass through some of the best
farm lands In the state. It will be used
by automobiles and farm wagons alike.
Farm development depends largely upon
good roads. At the present time there
are along the proposed highway thou
sands of acres of uncultivated lands to
each, acre under cultivation.
State Out of Balance.
"This state is city topheavy," con
tinued the Governor. "More people are
needed on the farms. We should be
able to raise all of the farm products
needed for our home consumption with
out having to send to other states for
it. Each acre of logged-off land placed
under cultivation means Just that much
more room for Increased population.
Other speakers were: C. W. Clausen,
State Auditor; Judge M. M. Goodman,
Frank B. Klley, of Portland; Edward
C. Meath. State Treasurer; N. B.
Brooks, of Goldendale. Prior to the
speaking the Kelso Junior Band ren

mlttee opened today's programme. A

appointed, consisting of E. E. Teach
nor, of Centralis, chairman; H. J.
Clarke, of Goldendale, and E. H. S.
Mulder, of Centralla. Mr. Mulder was
re-elected financial secretary of the
association.
It was decided to hold the next quar
terly meeting at Goldendale the latter
part of September. If possible, the
date will be set so that the meeting
can be held in connection with the
Pendleton Round-Up. Resolutions were
adopted thanking all agencies aiding

support of their respective organiza
tions to the development of Southwest

"Out of the full 183 boys among
our carriers whom we have ques
tioned," he said, "165 have definitely
decided what work they intend to take
up for a vocation and only 18 have not
yet decided. Thirty-six different pro
fessions are represented in the list of
activities toward which their ambi
tion tends."
Hundred Have Bank Accounts.
"Will every boy here who has a
checking or saving account in some
bank stand up," be asked later in his
address.
Out of the assembly of boys and
young men. fully 100 stood up.
The views of the young men them
selves were exemplified in the short
talks given by several of the carriers
who were called upon by Mr. Hopwood.
Oscar Hintz, carrier No. 2, who has
been in the service since 1909, told of
his desire to do banking work and
how he picked up a large proportion of
his education studying from books
which he carried In his pockets with
him on his route. He is now em
ployed in one of the large banks of
Portland and is advancing toward a
realization of his dream of becoming
a successful banker, although still
numbered in the ranks of the carriers
of The Oregonian.
Earl Goodwin, carrier No. 64, talking
on the question. "Does Athletic Work
and Carrying an Oregonian Route Go
Together?" gave a veritable "Hall of
Fame" list of notable athletes that
have gone out from the Portland High
Schools within the past few years or
are at present breaking lnterscholastic
records on high school teams, all of
whom belong to the ranks of The Ore
gonian carriers. C. E. Wtngard and
Paul Huschke discussed different
phases of the Idea of formal organiza
tion among the carriers, and C. M.
Morris also gave a short talk.
Will F. Ijlpman. of Llpman, Wolfe &
Company, congratulated the young men
upon their ambition and self-reliance
and predicted that each one who has
determined already what he intends to
make his life work will succeed in
his ambition.
"And that is more,'' he said, "than
the average American boy of your gen
eration is doing today."
D. A. Pinsmoor, of Olds, Wortman &
King, reiterated the remark of Mr.
Lipman.
'There could not be gathered to
gether from any department store or
mercantile establishment in this city."
he declared, "a group of young men
equal In number that would show th
same characteristics of industry, am
bition and thrift."
Charles F. Berg, of Lennon's. and R.
D. Carpenter, of Meier & Frank Com
pany, also made short talks In which
they paid high tribute to the young
men's ambitions to enter into produc
tive business lines when they hava
finally "graduated" from their service
on the newspaper routes.
The ages of the carriers average 18
years, only a few being less than 15
years of age. Almost all of them are
attending either high schools or other
schools.
Jack Tibbetts Arrested.
Charged with the forgery of two
checks, one of which he attempted to
cash in a saloon at East Third and
Burnslde streets, Jack Tlbbets, who
says he is a descendant of the Tlbbets
family from which Tibbetts" Addition
was named, was arrested last night by
Detectives Hyde and Vaughn. Tibbetts
