CRIME ANGERS
BEND CITIZENS
DEATH OF WARRKN GRIMM IN
t'KXTRAl.LV AROUSES INDIG
NATION. OF MANY FRIENDS
AND ACQUAINT At'KS.
News of the killing of four mem
bers of the American Legion in
Centralia by I. V. W.'s, was receiv
ed in Bend with indignation which
boded 111 for any "wobblies" who
might be found in this vicinity. Not
only was this due to tho nature of
the wanton crime, but also to the
I fact that one of the victims of the
i Centralia anarqhists. . Warren
j Grimm, was Intimately known to a
i number of Bf.id .people, while many
others who bad seen him in action
;on the igridiron when he played for
! tho University of Washington, felt
ja sense of real loss.
Warren Grimm was a close per
' sonal friend of Fred A. Woelf len
nt the university, and In officers'
training camp at the Presidio, where
the two wexe 'ibunkies," Elmer
Ward, of the Urooks-Scanlon of
fice force, knew him intimately at
Centralia, and Frank Chitty, recalled
the time when the murdered man
then practicing luw in Centralia,
had performed a legal service for
him. nnd had refused compensation
giving as his reason that he too.
1 was planning to enter the service
at an early dute. Ray Canlerbury,
vice-president of the International
Tlmberworkers Union, ' formerly of
Chehalis, knew him In his high
school football days, and spoke
.feelingly of his high character as
a man and his ability as an athlete.
ROAD ROLLER

CITY . TO COOPERATE
Should Work Willi County, is
Mayor's llellcf .fudge Humes
Renews Offier to Oive Henil
I'se of Roller Free. '
Under 'existing "conditions, the
charges made by the Deschutea
county court for tbe road roller
which Is being rented to contractor
Joe Rock, are entirely fair, was the
declaration of Mayor J. A. Eaitos
last night, after a tour of inspection
of city street Improvement jobs,
madd in company with J. C. Rhodes,
chairman of the streets committee
of the Bend council. Mr. East.es
found that the roller, for which the
contractor is obligated to pay $3 an
hour, has been Idle the greater part
of the time, being used from two to
four hours a' day. and being held
from road work outside the city be
cause of this. "I don't blame the
county court a bit," Mayor Eastca
said.
Farts Not Formerly Given.
Mr. Eastes explained that whea
the matter of the county agreement
came up at a recent council meet
ing, be had objected to tbe rate
charged because he had understood
that tbe roller was to be used dally
for a full eight hours. Now that all
the facts are at his disposal, be sees
only one objection remaining In the
agreement between tbe city and
county regarding the roller, and that
lies in the clause which would make
Bend guarantee the contractor's ob
ligation. "The city recorder and I
will be glad to look after the
'county's Interests and see that col
I lections are made, but I do not con
sider that the city should be quite
so closely bound," the mayor said.
He emphatically declared that he
is anxious for a policy of the most
thorough cooperation between city
and county, and bad no intention
of creating any feeling of antagon
ism. He will ask the court, he says,
that the roller be used on county
roads until enough work has accum
ulated in Bend for several full days
thus, eliminating part time work on
the city streets.
Court E.vphiins Kate.
County Judge W. D. Barnes and
Commissioner C. H. Miller, In com
menting on the arrangement made
with the contractor, showed that
county roads are waiting oh the con
tractor's pleasure, and city streets
are being given all the advantage.
"As a 'matter of fact, if the city It
self were doing the work, the roller
would be turned over to Bend with
no charges whatever'for rent," Judge
Bafues'said. "That is tbe way It has
been handled in the past, and the
offer still -holds . good." Rent
charged by the company selling the
roller, when one of the machines was
shipped from Portland to Camp
Lewis for a lengthy job, he quoted
as $250 a month, charges being as
sessed from the time the machine
was shipped to the date- on which
it was again In the hands ot the
agents. -
Commissioner Miller mentioned
work done last summer on Wall
street, when he personally operated
the roller for two days. No charge
was made even for his own services.
While the roller is now being tied
up by part time work in Bend, roads
near the city. Including one mile just
east of BeuW, and three miles In the
Grunge Hall district, are badly In
need of rolling.
