The -ssauit followed the hold-up at the (point of a giin of Teresa O'Hara. 20. and young Dobson. 21. as they re turned to the O'Hara home, eight miles west of this city, from Olympia. Forc ing the girl to tie Dobson, the fjeud then marched the two cf. them into the house ajid up to the bedrooms where Mrsj O'Hara and three daughters. Agnes, 22 ; Frances, 16. and Ea. 12, and son, Joe. 14, -were in bed. One by one he forced Teresa to tie her mother and sisters and finally tha fiend himself tied Teresa with strips torni fiom the sheets.

This report, which has'been held on the council calendar for . several weeks, was prompted by communications from the Associated Ge.ieral Contractors of Portland, in which the character of work performed by the municipal pav ing plant was criticised; Its methods of securing work were, questioned as to their fairness to the 'private contract or, and it was urged that the plant be maintained simply for street repair work. All of these phases were fully answered in the Barbur report. In addition. Commissioner Barbur presented today a statement for the public record, in which he Bet forth de tails of the results of operation of the paving plant for a series of years. He also presented tables' analyzing the comparative cos's. for labor and ma terial on paving contracts for the years 1918 and 192L the year 191R being chosen for comparison with last year because -It was .4Sxc year before the United States entered the war and may be regarded as the most recent year of normal costs. This analysis shows that In' 1916 a price- of 65 cents a square yaird would have paid costs for paving laid by the municipal plant, in that year the Con tractors charged . for top only, says the report, from $C10t to $1.35 per square yard.

"You and I know that in this time of unrest and revolution, when men s hearts are failing .hem for fear, when the shadow of suspicion and distrust and hate Ilea heavy upon the world and sinister centrifugal forces are threat ening the very stability of the repub lic, what we need most of all Is not a new gospel, but a renewed loyalty to the' old gospel pf Jesus Christ.
