mittee to" arrange with other grange

ers of Multnomah County this Sum
mer. Co-operative buying was dis
cussed, it being the consensus of opin

Sentence. Found guilty of reckless
driving by Municipal Judge Stevenson,
Ambrose Tauscher, aged 21, an employe
of the Doernbecher Manufacturing
Company, was sentenced to 10 days in
jail. The offense was a particularly
flagrant one. as Tauscher, who was
riding a motorcycle, refused to stop at
the command of Motorcycle Tatrolman
Ervln Sunday night and, after a chase
of a mile, during which 50 miles an
hour was the best rate of speed, drove
beadlong into the automobile of Berlin
K. Daris at Kast Thirty-third and

ana taken to the Sellwood Hospital as
a result.
Three Crews Are Working on Sewer.
Contractor William Lind has three
crews of men at work making sewer
pipe for the big Montavllla trunk con
duit. One is at work at Hast Glisan
and East Eighty-second streets, one at
the Barr road and Kast Seventy-ninth
street, and the third Is at work at
Kast Sixty-third and Willow streets.
No excavating has been started for the
trenches, but the concrete sewer pipe
is being turned out at these three
points preparatory to laying. The sec
tions range from 60 to 43 inches in size.
There will be 20,000 feet of sewer, or
four miles, to lay to complete this con.
tract.
East Glisan Street to. Be Paved.
East Glisan street will be paved at
once between East Sixtieth and East
Seventy-fourth streets. The Independ
ent Paving Company has the contract
for this Improvement, and the cost will
be above $40,000. Owners of the ad
Joining property are putting in water
pipe connections and sewers so the
street will not have to be torn up after
the pavement Is laid. It is intended to
pave East Glisan street to East
Elghty-Blxth street later, but that part
will not'be paved until after the sewer
has been laid.
Unemployed Again Dissatisfied,
Lose. Not content with being paid for

pay for an hour which it required for
them to go from their work to the City
Hall to collect their pay. The protest
was of no avail. For some time past
the city has been furnishing as much
work as possible to needy unemployed.
It is said that the dissension over the
hour's pay was stirred up by I. W. W.
followers who got into the service.

ply of wood from the woodyards for
the unemployed will be stored at
Twenty-seventh and Savier streets un
til the wood dealers are forced to
abandon their present price-slashing
programme, which is said to be a con
certed effort on the part of the larger
dealers to embarrass the city. Com
missioner Brewster announced this
plan of procedure yesterday after in
vestigating the proposition of reduced
wood prices.
"I think we can beat them at
their own game," said Commissioner
Brewster yesterday. "It is sure that
the city cannot sell Its 10,000 cords of
wood for $4.50 or $4.75 a cord and
make anything or even break even
on the cost of production and trans
portation and I do not believe the
dealers can sell at these prices either:
Price Catting Is Welcomed.
"Personally I am glad to see the
price cutting because it does not fol
low that the city will be embarrassed
with its supply of wood, which we
have hope of selling to raise money
for use in the camps for the unem
ployed next Winter.
If our going into the retail busi
ness will bring the wood prices down
the public will benefit. It will be as
great a benefit as we should expect
because It will enable the users to get
wood at prices considerably lower
than the city could furnish it.
"As far as our wood is concerned
we do not hope to make anything out
of it. We hope to get our money out
of it. If we cannot sell without a loss
now we can hold the wood until we
can get a better price for it."
Hauling Contract la Ip Today.
At the City Council meeting today
the proposition of a contract for haul
ing the city's wood from the wood
yards near Linnton to Twenty-seventh
and Savier streets will be considered.
If a contract is agreed upon the haul
ing of the wood will be started at once.
In almost every part of the city the
wood dealers have announced cuts In
prices. First-class wood which up to
a short time ago has sold at retail at
from $5 to $6 a cord is now being of
fered at $4.50 and $4.75 a cord.
This the dealers say is the best of
first-growth fir. It is said that the
present prices are only temporary,
price increases being planned for
two or three months hence.

"At any rate," said Mr. Cochran, "he
hasn't secured a. license yet. If he asks
for it, though, we can't refuse to issue
it without a valid objection."
The elderly lady left the Courthouse,
apparently as much puzzled about the

girl's voice over the telephone yester
day. Seth Smith, Deputy County Clerk,
opened the bulky register and looked.
"No, he didn't," he replied.
"Well, don't you give him one If he
comes in there. "
"Why not? What is your objection?"
asked Mr. Smith.
"Oh, I've got a good reason, all right.
Don't you give him a marriage license, "
raid the girl.
"If you have a legal and valid objec
tion, wo can refuse to issue a license
to Mr. Schwartz. Otherwise we have
no right to refuse it. You'd better tell
me your objection.
"Well, he's engaged to another girl,
was the startling response.
"I we can't help that, you know,
stammered Mr. Smith. "We can't stop
him from marrying anybody who'll have
him."
The girl hung up the receiver. Pres
ently John Cochran, who has charge of
the marriage license bureau, returned
from lunch. An elderly lady confronted
him at the marriage license window.
"Did Hyman Schwartz get a marriage
license today? she Inquired.
"No. ma'am, he didn't." replied Mr.
Cochran, after he had looked to see.
"Don't you give him one if he comes
after It. He was going to marry my
a girl, and then he got to going with
another girl. I heard ho was going to
marry the other girl today, and I want
to stop it.
"Mr. Smith says a lady called on the
telephone and asked the same question.
Which girl was that?"
i "I I don't know," said the visitor.
