CARVER RAILROAD
HELD NO MYSTERY
The Portland & ' Oregon City rail
road has $100,700 of its total author
ized capital stock of $200,000 fully
paid, according to Stephen Carver,
who conceived the Idea' of the road
and has ' taken the leading part in
ts financing I 1 x
Carver makes this statement In ref
erence to the paid up capital stock be
cause it wu published that the paid "up
capital amounted to $1076, which was
the amount given by the public service
commission. .Carver also contends that
the Carver railroad is not a child of
mystery?, but was built to develop not
only.: the- large farming district but a
large body of timber in Eastern Clack
amas county. i
"The statement that but $1075 of the
company's authorized capital stock has
been paid is not correct,; Carver said,
"for $100,700 of the authorized issue of
$200,000 has been . fully paid in. Nor
can- the company, be called a 'child of
mystery for Its full list of stockholders
has been furnished the corporation com
missioner' and is a matter , of public
record. The stock is held by J. L.
Sprinkle, of Chinook, Mont.. - the C. K.
Sprinkle estate, K. S. Sweet of Long
Beach, CaL. W. E. Hi lea and myself.
Practically all the bonds are also held
by the stockholders. j -
"There has never been a dollar's worth
of watered or promotion stock issued by
the company and all our obligations
have been paid in cash. The road was
constructed to develop not only the large
farming district In Kastern Clackamas
county but the large body of timber in
that district as welL The extension of
the road to Viola and the timber , has
been ; delayed by unforseen obstacles
brought about by th war. We have
eight miles of this extension nearly
graded and ; expect to have the line in
operation 'to Viola very soon. The people
of Clackamas county want the railroad,
the sawmills of Portland want the logs
and Portland wants the trade from the
territory served, or to be served by the
road." ' ; i i ' j
VISTA HOUSE EXPENDI
TURE IS: UPHELD
(Crattimisd Fun Pan Om)
plaint was amended, but iJudge Tucker
holds that the evidence deduced under
this amended 'complaint brought the dis
cussion clearly under the realm of the
demurrer. - - " j i, - ; .j ; t-:
The section of the statutes which, it
seems, particularly i applied to this case.
& that cited above which Says, in defin
ing the powers of ! the county commis
sioners, that they Bhall have power : "To
provide for the erection land repairing
of courthouses, jails and other necessary
buildings for the use of the county." ?
The decision of Judge Tucker is to the
effect that the board might also have
had ample authority to construct Vista
House as a portion of the Columbia
highway improvement. j
STATION FOUND HECSSABY
"Abundance of evidence was adduced
at the trial, says Judge - Tucker, "to
show the absolute necessity of a comfort
station at Crown- point. Before the road
was completed, fop sanitary reasons ex
treme emergency) measures had to be
taken by the board to carei for the public
at this point. In! fact, before the work
was finished and accepted from the con
tractors, the care of the great masses of
people centering t Crown . Point was a
situation which had to be -at once han
dled as an'emergjency matter.
"Vista House is22 miles from the city
of Portland, thousands and thousands of
people assemble at this place every day,
and accommodations must be made for
this great mass j of humanity coming
and'' going. The : substructure upon
which the testimony shows the greater
part -of the expenditure was made fa a
comfort station, and it is shown it is
now ! fast becoming inadequate to the
needs. '- The superstructure has been
designated during the course of the trial
as a memorial. Whether lor not the su
perstructure was." necessary was a mat
ter within the discretion of the board,
but It is shown that the; terrific winds
prevailing during certain parts of the
season rendered anything but a stone
structure impracticable." ,
PKOSECUTI03T CALLED WEAK
In concluding i bis . decision, Judge
Tucker says . -
"The court is also 'impressed with the
fact, as shown by - the testimony of the
half hearted ness with which the plain
tiffs prosecuted the case; , The records
show that, the original complaint was
verified and supported - by one plain
tiff, Nora Withrow, that after amend
ment several . others - were made co-.
plaintiffs. The i additional plaintiffs,
when called upon: to testify and brought
In by subponea, : seemed to have little
if any theory upon which they were'
working. Theyi manifested a,, feeling
that they were simply protesting against
the large expenditure that has been
made in ' the i construction of Vista

noon caused damage to the building
and contents ; roughly estimated at

Alma D. Kats. president of the Oregon.
Dairymen's . Cooperative association.
made public a statement Tuesday morn
ing in which he welcomes such an Inves
tigation as any disinterested and fair
body 'can make, that the facts can be
judged on their merits. Kats said:
"From newspaper articles 1 learn that
Lionel Mackay, deputy city attorney,
has made a report1 on the Portland milk
situation. . I have not seen or been able
to obtain a copy of this report. It seems
that in this report the dairymen are ac
cused, in brief, of profiteering on the
price of milk. !
DAIEYMEIf UOTi BENEFITED
"The facts are:
"That the dairvmen have received no
increase in the price of milk, although
the dealers announced an increase to 14
cents a quart retroactive to July lA
which increase they are entirely absorb
ing at the expenses of the consumers, but
with no benefit whatever to the dairy
men. ' ' -. i .! .,,
"That the . Dealers' association pro
posed to make ja contract with the
Dairymen's league effective July, An-1
gust - and September. - controlling : the
price of milk, but,: the league refused to
enter into this I or any other contract
with the Dealers combination.
That of the' 14; cents paid the dealer
by the consumer ) for a quart of milk,
the dairymen receive 7 cents, the dealer
keeps 7 -cents.
"That in Seattle the consumer pays 14
cents - a ' quart. the dairyman - receives
8.24 cents and; the dealer keeps 5.76
cents. -, i I
DAIRTME5 LOSE, HE SAYS
1 That the average cost of producing
a quart of milk to the dairyman who
serves Portland; i$ now, according ,to our
own carefully compiled figures, 9.S3
cents, thus showing that the dairyman
does not receive! cost of production.
. That Deputy City Attorney Mackay,
while conducting" his investigation, was
offered by me in person, and Albert S.

league in person, all . information pos
sessed by the league as to cost of produc

now being collected by them from con
sumers for themselves exclusively.
