' ' ; : v ' , ,7 ;-- I fr?v4 $ --oir irr -t pV - I ACCOUNTS BADLY HANDLED Gross Irregularities IMsclosed by investigation and Check With Water Bureau Shows Jfot One Account Tallies. 'itli 1100 cords of wood missing from the city's wood pile and dis crepancies peeping forth in most ag gravating fashion in the records of gasoline distribution at the city's ga rage, these are busy days for the Mu nicipal Purchasing Bureau under Pur chasing Agent Wood and City Commis sioner Bigelow-. That old troublemaker. General Inef ficiency, seems to be responsible for the trouble. At least his footprints have been found all through the rec ords of both the wood and the gasoline dealings. In addition to the 1100 cords of wood discovered short, records show numerous irregularities in the manner of handling the cash in connection with the wood, and the records also show unusual laxity in the handling of the city's gasoline. In connection with the wood it has been found that Charles R. Hart, who had the contract for hauling wood from Linnton to the purchasers in various parts of Portland, is credited with haul ing considerable wood that really was hauled by trucks of the City Water Bureau. In some of these cases the city has paid both the Water Bureau and Air. Hart for hauling the same wood. It has been found that payment hu been made also to Mr. Hart twice for the same wood. Auditor Prevents Waste. These claims, which were found ir regular when they got as far as City Auditor Barbur's office, had been ap proved by the man the Purchasing Bureau had on the job, by Purchasing Agent Wood and by Commissioner Hige low. The work of checking over these things has not been completed as yet so the extent of the irregularities along this line are not known. In connection with the distribution of gasoline at the city garage a report has been submitted to Auditor Barbur signed by Purchasing Agent Wood pur porting to show the actual amount of gasoline furnished to city cars. This report as submitted would show a de ficit of about $500 in the amount put in the cars as compared with the amount turned over to the garage for distribu tion. The explanation of this is that the report is a Jumbled, inaccurate mess which is incomplete. All of the city's cars are not listed and the figures on those submitted fail to correspond with the figures kept by various depart ments and based upon the actual bills sent to those departments by the Pur chasing Bureau. Check. Is Attempted. Kigures have been obtained from the Water Bureau for comparison with figures presented in the Purchasing Bureau report. The Water Bureau fig ures were based upon the bills sent by the Purchasing Bureau for actual sup plies and labor on each car in the Water Bureau. The cars are listed separately. The figures in the Pur chasing Bureau report are different in every item from the report of the Water Bureau. In one column of the Purchasing Bureau report is set forth the amount furnished city cars for cup grease. An addition of the column shows the total amount to be $1.41. The report pre sents the addition as J141. The investigation of both wood and Kasoline are going ahead. The actual figures as tht'y should be have been compiled or are being compiled by City .Auditor Barbur. Purchasing Bureau em ployes and officials are trying to recon cile their figures with those of the Auditor's office. , 4" f iv.;-. - W llr.'rfenf '-ut.'

So much of a popular appeal had the concert directed by the Schwann Piano Company, of this city, at the Orpheum Theater, last Friday nigrht, that the seating accommodations of the theater w ere exhausted prior to the commence ment of the event. The concert was a hiph-class one. The music selected for rendition was classical in character, and played by eminent pianists of the Bupon-Paderewskt order.

An agreement having- been reached by John H. Stevenson, representing the taxicab interests, and City Commis sioner Ial to fix, the proposed license for taxicabs at $24 a year instead of $50 a year as planned originally, the proposed taxicab ordinance will be sub mitted to the City Council probably this week. The ordinance was prepared by the city's legal bureau, fixing maximum rates of charge for taxicabs and auto mobile livery cars and imposing other restrictions on the drivers for the safe guard of the interests of visitors to the city. Mr. Oaly objected to the high license proposed, but has agreed to the lower license. It is said he has no other objections to the ordinance. Champoeg. It was drizzling ther. but the folks already assembled, 200 or more, cheered a welcome to the crowd ing throng at the gangplank. The Kern wood brass band, engaged by the people of Butteville and Champoeg, played a welcoming air. Because the weather forbade holding the meetinar in the open aid, as haw been customary, the programme was delivered in the weather-stained old hall, a mere shack that stands upon the site of historic Champoeg. This beggar's choice led to many expres sions of the present and imperative necessity for state aid. in erecting a suitable auditorium. Ex-Governor T. T. Gcer began the programme with a few words, explana tory of the reason for changing the date of observance from the real an niversary. May 2, to the Saturday fol lowing. "School children should not only be permitted, but encouraged." said Mr. Ueer, "in visiting Old Cham poeg at the annual observance." For this reason, more than any other, it was determined to celebrate the occa sion hereafter on Saturdays. Salem Man lrealde. As president of the day. Judge Peter IT. D'Arry. of Salem, prefaced his in troduction of Edward II. Belknap Re publican candidate for State Kepre sentative, with a comprehensive state ment of the occasion and its purpose. "My great-grandfather fought from Bunker Hill to xorKtown, saia ivir, Belknap. "Mv father came across the plains to Benton County in 1S47. I fee that I can justly claim the blood of pioneers." He spoke of Champoeg and of the pioneers whose act made it hie toric. "They performed a duty that can never bo repaid, he declared. "There never was a nobler band than the pioneers of Oregon, who enlarged the boundaries of freedom. The Veteran Quartet, the members of which have been recruited from the G. A. R., rendered. "O My America!" and the ramshackle hall roared with cheers and handclapping. Zimri M Parvin of Sedgwick Post fs leader of the quartet, and his fellow-singers are W. X. Morse, of George Wright Post; A. W Mills, of George Wright Post, and Dr. J. K. Hall, of Lincoln-Garfield Post. For three years the tuneful vet erans have sung at Champoeg. Old Favorite Applauded. That never-failing favorite of Ore gonians. Sam Sampson's lovely tribute to a lovely river, "The Beautiful Wil lamette," as interpreted with deep feel ing by Judge D'Arcy, was received with a momentary silence that was broken by prolonged applause. Of the significance that rested in the pioneer decision of 1843, Mrs. Edith Tozier Weatherred spoke with quiet eloquence. "If it had not been for what happened at Champoeg. these young men who are with us would be in the trenches today," she assured her hearers. And again, "If this spot were on New England shores you'd see a Bunker Hill monument resting here!" She spoke of the assumed fortitude of those who came to Champoeg via auto through the rain, whereas the pioneers entered the wild land with ox-teams. "Let us not forget old Champoeg." urged Mrs. Weatherred, dwelling upon the need for an auditorium. "I heard b. woman tell John I". Smith that she would not vote for him unless he prom ised to vote for an appropriation for Champoeg if he is elected." An invi tation to the pioneers to visit Salem at the Fourth of July celebration was extended by the speaker. As "one of our celebrities." Mrs. Laura B. Downey-Bartlett. authoress of the Indian character drama, "Wah--mah-Whal-lah," was. introduced by Plan I favored. As John IT. Smith is a candidate for the State Senate from Yamhill County, the fact that he followed on the pro gramme charged the si tuation wit h hopeful expectancy. "My father crossed the plains in 183ft, and my mother In 1845 I believe that you may know th;it I am with you," aid Mr. Smith. "Yet, you know that it Is entirely against the corrupt practices act to ma ke any promises. I can only say that no one would be more interested. and I think that there will be no ques tion of getting a Champoeg appropria tion through." Which brought ap plause, depend on it. Its just a little country band, some of us felows got up," was the abashed reference of a Fernwood band boy. But when the little country band put both lungs and heart into "America" well. it was worth the trip to get the thrill. K. B. McFarland grows roses and talks Chinook, and the real Jargon is by the way becoming a dead language. But there were those among the eager listeners who followed each word of the make-shift tongue, as Mr. McFarland told the story of Champoeg in musical Chinook. It was difficult to believe that the speaker learned the Jargon when he was a knee-trousered boy in The Dalles, 'way back in '54. He saw the passage of the plains in 1S52. Plea for Intercut Made. Characterizing the annual observance as "the greatest thing we could pos sibly have to commemorate the pre serving of this great state to our Na tion." T. R. A. Sellwood. of Mllwaukle, impressed upon the gathering the ne cessity of fanning the flame of interest until the spot be recognized at its true value as a central point of reverent interest. Judge D'Arry stepped into the throng and captured James C. McKay, of Lents, whom he -introduced to those present. On the monument in the rain, he told them, among the 52 who cannot be re paid, is the name of Charles McKay, the grandfather of the citizen from Lents. And the cheers endured for some time. At the conclusion of the programme Judge D'Arcy began an invitation to those present, requesting them on no account to be absent next year. He was interrupted by one of his audience, who forcibly remarked that the attend ance present was the best possible campaign force for a Champoeg appro priation, being enabled by the weather to bear expert testimony to the urgency of Champoeg's need of an auditorium appropriation. J a dure Is Thanked. Judge D'Arcy's invitation is still ex tended, albeit in a. semi-complete state. As he attempted to resume. ex-Governor Geer facetiously urged that the Judge be extended a vote of thanks for the excellent speeches he had prepared for various speakers. The iappy audi encc laughed and rushed the motion through, together with a vote of appre- cition to the little country Dand. And the rumbling whistle of the Po mona called an end to the 16th observ ance of Old Champoeg s historic re nown. Among the pioneers of Oregon who went on yesterday s cruise of tribute. as compiled by George H. Himes, ip- i pear the following, with the date of their arrival in Oregon. Through the modesty of some and the fact that oth ers may have been overlooked, it is thought that the roster may not be complete: Judge George H. Durham. 47; E. B. McFarland, "52; Newton W.

The members i-f the court are F. L. Tonvcllc, County Judge; F. H. Madden and Con Loever. County Corn in I.fs tuners. According to friends of the County I'ourt, the reca li proceed ings emanute from the suit of W. J. Sweeney, con tractor for the Siskiyou grade of the Pacific Highway, for $5.0oo claimed to be duo him for extra work. The tirst pig of iron cast at Oswego was used as the corner post of the Durham lots, when Judge George li. Durham, Josephine County attorney for the Southern Pacific, was a youngster. His father took a donation claim above Oswego in 'S t, a fter argonauting in the Sacramento Valley. The Lot Whit comb was th first large steamer to ply the Willamette, according to Judge Durham, who witnessed the launching on Christmas day. 1R00. An overloaded bra hs howitzer, fired to celebrate the event, exploded and killed the can noneer. Newton W. Hawn, IJtn Sihkiyou street, almost disclaims being a. pio neer. "I was Just a babe in arms when the folks came from Missouri in 184, he modestly objected. For several days his father and mother were guests of Dr. Whitman at Whitman Station. Dr, McLousrh lln employed his father as a millwright at Oregon Mty. "I have heard my mother say that there were only six log cabins there when we came." the son recalled. "I remember the first steamer on the river, though. She was a little old boat called the Hoosier. and about as big as a batteau. Since 1861 Mr. and Mm. Hawn have not lived here. They recenjly returned to make a permanent home in Portland, "Here was Linn City," said George H. Himes, waving his hand to the right, as the Pomona crept through the locks at Oregon City. "The big flood of De cember, 61, swept it from the map. and it was quite a town, too. A large steamer, the St. Claire, passed safely over the falls during that flood, and never started a pin." And they spoke of floods for a time. Ohio was growing too settled for William B. Jolly's folks, and in 1847 they halted the oxen in Washington County, where they purchased a claim. paying $1600. Yielding to the pleading of neighbors, Mr. Jolly's father taught school in their first home. Ho was Presbyterian minister. The family caught the gold fever of '49. and for two years worked a rich claim on the Yuba River. They leased the claim and returned to their Oregon home, and the lessee worked the claim value less without remitting. F. M. Olds, whose parents settled In Washington County, was first cradled in a jolting emigrant wagon, drawn by oxen. He was born on the journey across the plains, in 1853. They built a fort at the Lower Cas cades in 1857, according to the memory of J. W. Stevenson, who came to Ore gon four years before that time. When the Civil War broke out the garrLson was left without officers, as ail were of Southern birth, and resigned to join the armies of the Confederacy. The Stevensons settled at Cape Horn, on the Washington side, and made pioneer ing pay expenses by cutting cordwood for the river boats.
