SOLVES PUZZLE
Voters Find the Kellaher
Amendment Obscure and
Baffling.
Among the propositions on the ballot
that pussle some voters as they Inspect
the titles on the sample ballots, is the
one proposed by Initiative petition to
prohib.t the use of any patented artlclu
" or process in the improvement of any
"street, highway or public place."
'Among the Inquiries received by The
Journal Is one from Edward J. Finck,
who remarks: "The wording on the
ballot is so obscure that it will baffle
most voters, and the chances are they
will vote against their desires ana con-1
The amendment rererred to Is gen
erally known as the Kellaher anti-patent
pavement, Nos. 160 and- 1S1 on the
ballot. The purpose is to prevent con
tracts by the city with firms having
patent monopolies on paving, being par
ticularly aimed at the Warren bltu
lithic and the Hassam pavements, both
of which are patented.
The amendment Is so drawn that there
appears to be serious question as to
whether It would not apply to all pat
ented articles used in public improve
ments." in bridge building, for instance,
and in buying fire apparatus, and it Is
objected that this might seriously ham
per the city in adopting modern im
: provements for the city's use.
In this connection should be men
tioned ' the provision of the proposed
raw city charter o this subject, which
Is recommended to the voters by The
Journal. This provides specifically that
the city shall not award any contract
for street paving requiring the use of
any article patented or wholly con
trolled by one person or corporation,
without first advertising for bids for
Jt in competition with some other arti
cle or process that will answer the same
general purpose. This will Insure com

sible to secure In any patented article.

bids are In.

Camp Owners Will Close

plus Stocks.
Nearly every logging camp along the
Columbia river and Its tributaries belqw
the mouth of the Willamette, excepting
those operated by sawmills for their
own supplies, will close down July 1
to remain idle for at least a month. An
understanding to this effect has been
reached by the leaning loggers, although
there Is no binding agreement, each one
acting individually as he might see fit.
Over production Is the cauue for the
programed close down. It being re
ported that there are enough logs on
hand to supply every ordinary demand
for about SO days with the mills running
about 10 hours daily. The loggers do
not deem it good business to place a
largo surplus or logs in the water until
the supply now on hand has been I
cleaned up to a certain ertent, and this, 1
it Is estimated, will be done In about1
80 daye without causing the least of'

who came out last week from New York
to look it over. All day yesterday, it
is reported that it did a big business,
and today It la predicted that Its ca
pacity will be taxed by the crowds that
are sure to throng this scenio park. It
is safe to predict that this is the most
scenic by far of any one of the great
number of roads built by the L. A.

but Mr. Thompson is authority for the
statement, that the road en Council

for fire apparatus after ft h hn

next, but Long apparently believes that
the mayor can be made to wield the cen.
