Oyster Hay, I.. I.. Autr. 21. President
Roosevelt today received, through the
British charge d'affaires, a cable mes
sage from I-ord Northcote, governor
general of Australia, describing the re
ception of the American fleet at Sydney,
extending greetings to president Roose
velt and expressing great admiration for
the officers and men of the fleet. The
president wired a reply thanking the
governor general for tiie cordial expres
sions am returning- the compliments of
this country to Australia. In closing
Hoosevelt said:
"For the American navy Is a menace
to no power, but Is, on tho contrary,
ns we believe, an asset of high Import
ance in securine peace and Justice
throughout the world."
That tho Warren Construction com
pany and tho Ilaibur Asphalt company
will have competition In laying bitum
inous and asphalt pavements despite
their letters of warning to the city
government was learner today when
It was reported that a comnanv with
a large capital hacking ha.l been, formed
to engage In laying street pavements..
jusi who are duck or the company is
unknown but It Is reported that Lxinlel
Kern nnd two Seattle capitalists ar tha
moving spirits.
According to the report the new com
pany will have the use of the large
stone cuarrles owned by Kern on the
i oiumbla river from which a supply
or crushed rocK will be secured, other
arrangements are also said lo have been
made lo secure sand, asphalt and other
materials needed In the composition of
nie paenietus.
Surprise Is Sprung-.
The announcement of tho coming of
a new company to throw down the
gauntlet to the old companies crime as
a surprise to couTicilmen and other of
ficials at tho city hall this morning.
For years the present companies have
had things all their own way in th
matter or Installing pavements despite
the provision of the city charter to
the effect that no patenied pavement
shall be allowed on Portland streets.
It Is thought that this provision was
mo ractor that finally decided the new
company In entering the Portland field.
Whether it will be able to accomplish
anything or not 's doubted by Council
man Kellaher. who has been leading a
fight against the Warren Const rip-t . .n
company. Kellaher said toda thit lie
did not think the new compiinv would
bo able to pet materials with which to
manufacture the pavements. lie .(in
tended, however, that the Idea Is a rood
one that tho new eouipanv as v.-il as
any other person or corporathct has as
much right to lay bitulithic and asphalt
pavement as the companies which have
had a monooly on the Industry in.-Port-land
for several jmts.
Glad of Competition.
Kellaher scoffed at the patent :hts
of these companies and ridiculed ihelr
letters to the executive hoaid and mayor
In which prosecution was threatened f
the city attempted c (ntall thee kinds
of pavements vith";r giving the con
tract to the eompaiiies.
