Interviews With the Com
mittee of Properly Own-
ers Appointed to Re
port Plans
who committee on the Court street
Improvement wore soon today as to
wfiat progress was tanking In the se
lection of a form of pavement for
that thoroughfare. Some months
liavo( elapsed since the property own
ers mot and potltloned for that street
to bo permanently Improved, and se
lected E. P. McCornack, H. B. Thlel
son and J. N. Smith for a committee
to Investigate dlfforent kinds of pav
ing and roport same to tho owners of
abutting property at somo future
meeting. Smith was seen this morn
ing, and admitted that he had given
the matter no attontlon, as he did
not consider that ho was nnythlng of
an expert in tho matter. Ho was very
favorably impressed with the LIborty
broken rock pavement; drovo over 'It
n good doal, and thought It was good
enough for tho city at present; and
was within roach. Ho thought It ought
to bo used, and said If the strcot car
lino could be Induced to extend their
lino to tho rockplt that would be a
cheap way to get It hauled Into the
city. Ho belloved It would bo- a sat
isfactory pavomont.
Mr. Thielsen's Views. "
H. B. Thlolson, of tho commlttoo,
TVUB soon today, and said thoy wo:o
still trying to get a proposition to put
down a brokon grnnlto Improvement.
TTho grnnlto would havo to como from
tho Corvallts & Eastern road, nnd
tho firms with machlnory to put down
such a road woro at Portland. FIguros
aro still lacking on which to make es
timates, and ho and anothor of tho
committee woro going to visit tho
quarry on tho Santlam, anil mnko a
trip to Portland to got ostlmatos from
tho (Inns owning tho crushing and
rolling outfits. Ho thought grnnlto
would mako tho finest roadway, 'and
then cover It with sharp, clear sand.
Somo of the bnsnlt rock was not dur
nblo enough, in his opinion, for per
manent streets,,
y Mfy .McCornack Talks.
tp. P. "McCornack said tho commlt
too was proceeding slowly and steadi
ly, but luul by no tnonns glvon up tho
matter of n pormnnout Improvement
of Comt street. On tho first of July
money woud be available for filling
In tho grounds nbout the government
poBtotllcQ, "and tho contrnctots would
then tnko tho dirt off Court street for
that purpose, and thus securo tho
grading without bxponso. Tho rail
road compuny wub going to lowor Its
track across that street nearly two
foot, and more dirt would bo available
there, and mnko tho grading of tho
Btroot comparatively Inexpensive,
Thoy had railed for estimator for
hnullng tho broken rock from LIborty.
Ho feared that grnnlto would come
too high. Tho quarry would hnvo to
bo opened up, and a eiUBhlng plant
put In. Tho rnllrond company wduld
only ngroo to deliver tho mntorlal In
blooks at Salem. Tho rock from tho
Santlam would havo to bo crushed
horiv-mt Snlmu, and a plant would
como high, If thoy could socuro It at
all, Thoie was such a demand for
roolr crushers that ojio could not bo
secured for sovornl years, nnd so they
might bo forced to wait or tnko brokon
rook from tho pft out toward Liber
ty, Tho commlttoo nil seem to bo
willing to mnko a report nnd hope to
do so.nt an oarly day

Ion stream nnd drowned.
The accident wns wltnossod by Fiod
Colomnn, of San Francisco, who was
unablo to render any assistance. Tho
tramway consists of two steel cables
stretched ucroas the river, upon
which a car runs. It Is much used by
pleasure-Eeekors. Tho four young peo
ple ontered tho car to cross tho rlvor.
When thoy reached midstream ono of
Iho strands parted. Ono plorclng
shrlok was heard, and tho four, woro
observed for a few moments strug
gllng In t,he rapids. Both young men
woro athletovnud gave up tholr llvos
In an horolc effort to savo tholr com

tlmo that tho two young men could
not apparently havo savod thom

tho accident occurred there are swift
rapids, tho water seething nnd boiling
over great rocks.
Hundreds of people aro searching
for the bodies of tho victims -of tho

only ono has boon recovered. Under

across tho rivor at Intorvnls of sever
al miles, and nets have beon placed.
Tho noarchlng party Is exploding dy
namite over tho stream, but thus far
their efforts havo beon unavailing.
Owing to the prominence of. the vic
tims of tho tragedy the entire city Is
In mourning, and tho river banks are
lined with throngs of people. Mr.
Tllsmnn Is a prominent business man
of Chicago who was camping at
Laughton Springs for tho benefit of
his health.
