The walls must be built before the paving, which has been awarded the United Contract company for $14,200, can be started. Commissioner Muck livened up the meeting- by stating that he was going to refuse to vote for both the-paving ar.d retaining wall contracts. "What is the matter with these con tracts?" he was asked by Commis sioner Holman. Wall Ilulldlnsr Opposed. T am opposed to building concrete walls on that road within the city limits, when persons out through the country have asked for such walls and haven't received them," answered Mr. Muck. "If we are gSing to build walls, we should do it in other places where they have been asked for." Mr. Muck said that for two or three years persons living along the St. Helens road had asked for retaining ' walls and their requests had not been granted. The wall on Montgomery drive will ke built in front of property owned by J. C. Ainsworth and Alexander I). Charlton. In voting for the paving contract, Mr. Holman said that he wished to make it clear that he voted for the contract only because he did not wish o see the work delayed, but that he Was still opposed to the form of con tract which does not include payment of liquidated damages to the county if the work is not completed at the stipulated time. Paving: Plant Planned. "We are letting this work at the contractors' own price, said Mr. Hoi man. "This is because we have no competition. We must have competi tion, and I have begun preparations looking toward including in next year's budget money for establishing a paving plant of our own, so that the county can pave its own roads." The work of paving Montgomery drive from Sixteenth street to Vista avenue will begin when the retaining walls are in place, probably early in October. The commissioners are eager to get this work done before the win ter season. Canvass Shows Inadequate Facili ties for Handling of 400 or More Delegates. LA GRANDE, Or., Aug. 6.(Spe- ial.)

Clackamas and Colum bia counties, has withdrawn as a candidate for president of the senate for the 1921 session of the legisla ture. Senator Banks is eliminating himself and is supporting Roy W. Ritner. senator for Umatilla county. Announcement of Senator Banks action will change the complexion of the organization contest. Th fight is now between Senator Ritri'jr and B. L. Eddy, senator from Dougles county and both have been making an active canvass for support among their colleagues. Senator Banks had the support of several senators who are now released from their voluntary promise to him. An intensive drive may now be started by both Ritner and Eddy for the presidency Inasmuch as they appear to be the only onts left in the field. Senator Banks thinks it wise to end the contest as quickly as pos sible and probably immediately after the November election this will be done. There are a number of can didates for the eenate who will un doubtedly be elected, yet they feel that they have no right to presume that they already possess a vote in the senate and for this reason they will not commit themselves to Ritner, Eddy or any other person until they have their certificate of election. Senator Banks' Statement. In withdrawing. Senator Banks issued the following- statement of his reasons, which, by the way, does not show that he was ever an activo candidate, although his name was freely mentioned: "I will give my unqualified support to Senator Rov W. Ritnr nr 11,(111. ... for president of the.aenate at the coming session of the legislature. Eastern Ore f,?.?o hf not,. enjoyed this honor since 1109. In reaching this rnnrln.inn T to cast no reflections upon the aspirations of any other candidate. However. Senator ana i nave Deen personal friends for a long time and his intimate knowledge of the needs of the state and. wide ex perience as a legislator qualify him for the place. "My name has frequently been mentioned in the press for this honor. I havn t n n time been an active candidate, neither nave i corresponded with outside sena tors in relation thereto. I f ullv anri in. cerely appreciate the many kind expres sions which have come to me from n num ber of senators and friends who have vol untarily tendered me their simnnrt fnr it is an honor of which any senator might Contest Should End Early. "It Is my opinion that it would be good pm:y 10 ena me contest lor tne presi dency. at least tentatively, as early as possible before the senate convenes, so that the members may give their thought and attention to proposed legislation in the interest of the entire state. "Senator Ritner will undoubtedly mea sure up to the responsibilities of the posi tion, including the added responsibility which attaches by reason of the amend ment to the constitution, recently adopted by the people of Oregon, and of which amendment X was joint author. For these reasons I am glad to ai'd Senator Ritner's candidacy, and I have no aouDt 01 nis election." NEAR RIOT DISTURBS EASY ROUTINE OF CITY COURT Aged Man Throws Hat on Floor, Clinches Fist, Paces Around Room Like Caged Lion, and Shakes Finger Under Nose of A. W. Wolf. HOOD RIVER. Or., Aug- 6. (Spe clul.) A cablegram was received to day by H. b. Davidson announcin lifting price control on apples in Eng land. This news means that exports I of apples will revert back to normal1 and pre-war days, according to Mr. I tains an export office in New York ! Pavidson, local grower, who main tains an export office In New York ' city. '"Fruit." he said, "will now' sell on Its merits. Price will be fixed ac cording to prrade and pack and the supply available. We will no longer orchard run stock exclusively shipped abroad and selling at the maximum price allowed. 1 expect the export market to be as good the coming season as on any normal pre-war year. "While we have no definite infor mation, indications are that the trans Atlantic freight rate will declineand work as on offset acrainst the in creased domestic rail freights. While much bus been said about direct water shipments of fruit from Port land through the Panama canal to Europe, 1 do not look for any refrig erator ships to be available for such shipments this season." SPEEDING GETS $25 FINE l)rier TclU Judge He Did Xol Know Legal Limit. Mike leCicco, who told the judge he was driving for an afternoon paper, was fiired $25 on a charge of speed ing yesterday by acting Municipal Judge Deich as the result of his arrest on the Terwilliger boulevard. DcCicco was driving 33 miles an A near riot disturbed the tran quillity of the municipal court room yesterday when Amos Hall, 60 -year-old resident of a houseboat in the vicinity o Willbridge, "threw his hat into the ring" and threatened to en gage i.i physical combat with Charles Johnson, up tor trial on a charge of assault and battery preferred by Hall, and shook his fist under the j noses of A. Walter Wolf, attorney lor the defense, and some half dozen witnesses who had incurred his ire. j The old man threw his hat in the middle of the floor, doubled up his fists and paced around the municipal court room like a caged lion. On account of his deafness the efforts of the bailiff and court to quiet him were unavailing. "If you don't keep still I'll have the court fine you for contempt," Attorney Wolf finally roared in the old man's ear. "Hey!" came the reply. "I know the judge; he's a friend of mine." Judge Deich decided that Hall was able to take care of himself without the assistance of the court, following the demonstration, and so discharged if onnson. Hal. had told the judge that John s' r and a number of other men had been playing pranks on him and causing trouble at his houseboat. A page from the municipal court docket yesterday had to do with the eternal triangle and involved Henry Gardner, his divorced wife and K. L. Stringham, and a little drama in one act which occurred at 605 Haig street several nights ago. Stringham, large and husky, was paying attention to Oardner s di vorced wife and so the trouble arose. Stringham told the judge that he took the former Mrs. Gardner home the other night. After their arrival at the house Gardner suddenly ap peared on the scene armed with a stick of stove wood and chased Mrs. Gardner's cavalier from the place. So hasty was the gentleman's exit that he left his hat and coat behind. The result of the incident was that Stringham preferred charges of as sault and battery against Gardner, and he was arrested by Patrolman Finn. In the meantime Gardner had returned his opponent's hat and coat, and Judge Deich announced that, since he had made that much repara tion, he would continue the case for sentence. "This man has been threatening my lite and 1 would like to know if l ean get some protection ?" demanded Gardner, who is about half String- ham's size, following the decision. "If you are able to run him off the place the way you did the other night, I am of the opinion you don't need any protection," Judge Deich told him. Stringham then chimed in and asked if he could not get some pro tection. The judge told him that if he wasn't big enough to protect him- seir tie had no business taking on job as cavalier to a young lady. m "W ere you drunk?" Judee Deich asked of John "Whalen, a eailor, when tne latter appeared to answer to charges of participating in a liquor party at 24 North Second street. I certainly was," came back the unexpected reply in stentorian tones. 1 ne judge rewarded his frankness by continuing his case for sentence and allowing him to go back to his ship. " It was pay day Thursday for "Wego Hansen, saw mill workman, who came to town and proceeded to buy moonshine. The result was, he was arrested and appeared before Judge Deich yesterday.
