MERRY PAVING WAR BEARS INDICATIONS
OE BRINGING FORTH SOME LOWER PRICES
That competition In the local pav
ing field is proving to be "the life of
business" seems apparent from devel
opments that have occurred today. In
cidentally it makes the situation
brighter for property owners and those
who like to see permanent street work
done In Pendleton.
A petition asking for the pavement
of West Court street with the Dolor
way pavement Is now being circulated
among residents on that thoroughfare
and according to reports Is being free
ly signed. The property owners are
quoted this class of pavement at a
price of $1.50 per yard. This price,
according to Henry Craig, who has
been circulating the petition, will
mean that the paving of West Court
can be made with Dolorway pavement
for about $10,000 less than the esti
mate on bltullthlc made the property
owners last summer.
But now comes the Warren Con
struction company, layers of bltullth

MEDICOS DENOUNCED
BY SENATOR WORKS
Declarestheyare Attempting to Form
a Dangerous Trust Through
out U. S.
Washington, D. C, April 29. With
the general adjuration, "throw physic
to the dogs," coupled with a red hot
denunciation of the American Medical
association, which he described as a
doctor's trust, Senator Works of Cal
ifornia today dellverc-d In the senate
a lengthy attack on the Owen bill for
the establishment of a federal health
department. He declared strongly for
the right of Individuals to practice or
resort to such methods of healing as
suited them. Works views the alleged
domination of medical fields from the
standpoint of Christian Science.
Closing his speech, Senator Works
said: "No legislation Is more danger
ous and pernicious than the entire
system of laws, state and national,
that are being forced on the people
by political doctors who consider only
their own selfish Interest without re
gard to public welfare. They have
considered not only the bill now be
fore this senate but legislation in the
states because they are a part of one
general effort to procure legislation
that will reestablish forever one school
of medicine to the exclusion of all
others. If this effort is successful It
will create tho worst, most Internal
and most dangerous monopoly trust
this country has ever known."

any of the proposed streets of Pen
dleton for the price of $1.48 per yard.

head office in Portland this afternoon
instructing him to make an offer on

intenaent, "is identically the same
pavement the company has been lay
ing here saving that gravel will be
used instead of crushed rock. The
pavement is of the same thickness and
the same amount of bitumen Is used.
We have already bargained with May
or Matlock for gravel from his prop
erty near the river bed If we can se
cure a contract for gravel pltullthlc,
According to Lonergan. the price of
$1.48 on gravel bltullthlo is something
new and he. says the offer is made
becauso the company realizes that a
cheaper pavement Is demanded for
the residence streets.

PROBATION OF 7TH
WILL' IS REFUSED
Judge Maloney Disclaims Jurisdic
tion in New Development
of Warner Case
Will No. 7 to the estate of James
W. Young denied mission in the pro
bate court through an order of Coun
ty Judge Maloney issued late Satur-.
day afternoon, Mrs. Mabel Young
Warner and her brother, Fred Young,
declare they will immediately appeal
fmm tho decision to the circuit court
and If necessary to the supreme court.
The will in question is the one alleged
,0 have been found back of the Weston
bank building and contains what pur
ports to be the signatures of Louis
Hunziker.and Peter West at witness
es. It was recently offered for pro
bate and a hearing was held in which
Attorney Watts and Brooks argued
for Its admission and Attorneys Fee
ami Slater against it.
Judge Maloney based his decision
n the grounds of lack of jurisdiction,
but in his opinion mentions "his real
ization of the fact that a number of
other wills have appeared, and that
the case ha -become notorious ''and
scandalous." However, he admits the
law on the matter is not clear to him,
and states unofficially that it is his
desire for the supreme court to pass
on it. He cites the following law as
a basis for his opinion:
"When one will Is probated another
will inconsistent with the first cannot
be probated, since this in effect acts
as a revocation of the earlier will. The
earlier will should be contested, hence
an application to substitute a will dis
covered after an earlier will has been
admitted to probate necessarily in
volves a contest of the will probated,
and must be made within the time
limit for contest. It follows that where
a will Is discovered so long after the
earlier will was admitted to probate
that the time limit fixed for contests
has elapsed, such will cannot be pro
bated." Michael R. Young, declared to be
Mrs. Warner's long lost father, who
reappeared Thursday, was taken to
Weston Saturday by his son Fred,
and called on Mrs. Nora Watts, the
principal heir under the accepted will.
Mrs. Watts is a niece of Michael R.
Young, and knew him many years
ago, but according to reports, she re
fused to state whether or not she rec
ognized him as a man long regarded
as dead, declaring she had no time "to
bother with him."
