A. J. Eee Residence
While A. J. Lee. owner of a home at
705 Alberta street, was preparing to
move into bis residence yesterday, fire
started in the attic, presumably from
a defective i flue, and before the blaze
waa under control $700 damage had
been done. Mr. Lee moved, from his
home April S3, because the streetcars
disturbed his daughter, who was seri
ously ill. During the day Mr. Lee
had been burning papers and maga

men believe, caused the blaze. Engines

Washington," June : 14. (U. P.) It
was Jearned today that oleomargarine
frauds costing the government more
than $3,000,000 annually have been
unearthed. A large number of secret
service operatives are on the case.
The government has already recov
ered hundreds of thousands of dollars
from fraudulent, dealers, In addition to
the large court costs. Of this sum,
$800,000 was recovered from the Capi
tal City dairy of Columbus, Ohio. 6uitB
for $400,000 more are pending against
this company. .This indicates that the
total suits throughout the country
will run into , the millions. Purther
revelations ar promised when trial of
cases In Rhode Island begins 1
week..'- ;
The oleomargarine frauds dirfc
from the whiskey frauds recently re
vealed, inasmuch as connivance wit. i
revenue employes Is unnecessary. Th
process on the part of the fraudulent
dealers is simple. The tax on uncol
pred Oleomargarine is one quarter of
a cent a pound; on colored, 10 cents.
Many dealers have colored the product
and sold it for butter, saving a tax; of
K cents per pound.
The favorite riek of jmall dealers
waa to send retail wagons through rs
idential districts claiming thst the
oleomargarine was butter fresh from
the country.

Concrete Wiilil Save r :
The County s? ibo,ooo
v.
BACKED BY STRONGEST POSSIBLE TEN-YEAR GUARANTEE, THIS FORM OF PAVE
MENT MAKES WONDERFUL ECONOMY SHOWING IN TABULATED BIDS
MULTNOMAH COUNTY can make an initial saving of almost $140,000 by using concrete
....... for paving her magnificent system of seventy miles of highways radiating out from the
' city of Portland. This is the startling comparison revealed by complete tabulation of the bids
for road construction received by the county commissioners last Wednesday. l
Not only that,,but in the use of concrete there will be an additional
saving to the county in excess of $40,000: through a reduction in the
amount of crushed rock that would be necessary.for other forms of pav
ing, but which iwill not be needed with concrete. ',v
1 . This means a total saving of approximately 180,000 isn't that
worth while?.; r-' v -
How. about the Guarantee? , Concrete is backed sby the fullest" and
strongest 10 -year guarantee submitted to the commissioners for any form
of pavement. This guarantee is absolutely ; ironclad, and the low bidder
on concrete went rartner man anyone eise , oy su Dmuung wui 1 nib v uiu
certified checks to cover' all the provisions desired by the voters when they endorsed the
$1,250,000 bond issue., 'j ',"'' ' ' . - - ' ' - ! c
; Thus is concrete guaranteed for ten, 1 years, and at the end of ten years it will be good for
an indefinite number of years more. ; . ' ' : .
: These striking figures showing the economy of concrete are obtained by comparing the
lowconcrete bid with the engineer's estimate of the cost of the pavinjE: work made before the
bids were submitted. In other words concrete is not far from $200,000 cheaper than Mult
nomah, County figured its paving' would cost. . . i - i
V Parallel with the, originally estimated cost even a little above it is the bid on patented
Bitulithic pavement. So concrete will save some 180,000, as compared with the patented
form of pavement, f . . 'v. ' . - " ; . r

One peculiar and significant fact in the bidding was that, the low bid submitted for the
'.: unpatented Bitulithic was approximately $240,000 less than the bid on patented Bitulithic.
Yet v.the unpatented. pavement is Uid under the same specifications, with the same materials,
in identically the same way as the rjatentedtype'. Isn't that a good deal of -a premium for
the taxpayers of Multnomah County to ay merely for a name ? : .
