SILKS FROM 25c up to $2.50 per yd. NEW SITE Because It was not in a position to offer the property owners any stated price for their land the committee which has been negotiating for the block lying just east of the state capltol grounds as a site for the new building for the supreme court and library and other offices today failed to arrive at a decision but took the subject under advisement. The appropriation made for the purchase of the land and the erec tion of the building upon it is not yet available as the bill carries no emergency clause and In view of this, and the fact that there Is some talk of applying the referendum to It, the committee was In no position to make any definite offer for the land. The committee interviewed the property owners, and while the price asked by some was reasonable, other, In the opinion of the committee, asked an unreasonable price, and it Is doubt ful even when the (tme comes when the appropriation is available, wheth er the committee will give it. The committee . consists of State Treasurer Kay, President Selling, of the senate and Speaker Rusk.

Thai seems to be the prinolpal reason for the stories being circulated In the newspapers. Gover nor West vetoed Rusk's second choice bill, which was championed by the Oragonlan, and that organ would nat urally like to gee it resurrected. He alsp vetoed Senator Wood's bill re lating to the creation of new coun ties, several of Senator Bowerman's bills and dozens of appropriation bills, and these, it is contended, by those who claim to know, It Is desired to have passed, and hence the cry 5t an urgent need iof an extra session by those backing them. Governor West Is In Southern Ore gon, and could not be seen, but It is safe to assume that he knows th-3 game being played, and that the pol itlmians playing it will have to man ipulate the cards far more cleverly than they have done.

After ing company of Sacramento has with- holding six men at bay with revol vers, two masked bandits rifled the safe of the Reed hotel at dayiireak today and stole $700. Within half an hour after the robbery two suspects were arrested who tallied closely with descriptions of the robbers. A coat, hat and mask similar to those worn by one of the bandits, were found, but the stolen money was not located. The hold-up occurred In the heart of the business district. One of the robbers compelled the night clerk to open the safe, while the other lined up against a wall five of the hotel guests.

That bn'Might about a genu ine,, old-fashioned quarrel between he and the members of the commit tee, with the result of Flagg making charges against ,them public. These, together with the fact tlrvt he won hla point at law. It is pointed out, naturally would have the effect of the committee wanting to get even, and It Is availing itself of the present op nrtunlty to do so. Governor West, in applying the drawn from Salem, as It finds condi tions too difficult to operate here. Mr. A. W. Clark was in the city yes terday and has formally notified the mayor and street committees of their withdrawal of all bids for street work In the Capital City. They had made a bid of $1.84 per square yard for the same pavement they are lay ing In many western cities. They make the' withdrawal on the ground that materials are too high, and that there Is no margin of profit in the work at that price. Mr. Clark says their principal difficulty here Is to get good clean sand and gravel at prices that they can do the work and make a profit. The material men are highly organized and have prices out of -reach of successful operation. Mr. Clark says the nearest sand they can get, that Is good, clean and sharp, hard sand Is the Columbia river sand from Portland, which costs about $3.00 per yard delivered, and they can get good sand in other towns from 75 cents up to $1.50. Clark Gives ItciisoiiN. "Good sand for street pavements should not contain more than two per cent of organic matter ' and should be free from clay, silt and mold, which is not the case with any sand we can get here. Besides the street bonds here are subject to 1 &3TJBek&' ' Credit stores can't match our prices, discount of five per cent which takes another 10 cents a yard off our pave ment. When we tried to meet compe tition here we were asked to make further reductions and wo do not care to operate our expensive plants at a loss or on margins that are not consistent with good business. We are trying to get legitimate prices, and for the present will operate at Roseburg and Medford. There Is too much cheap work called for In Ore gon at present, and cities are grow ing so fast on the Pacific coast that we can get plenty of profitable work and would be foolish to take low price contracts. We also decline to give a five-year guaranty, not be cause our pavement will need any at tention In that length of time, but be cause we do not like to be tied up with conditional contracts." ments that cause Japan te loom up as an Important factor In the army and navy mobilization in the Mexican trouble zone. What trend events are likely to take Is unknown, but the attitude of the attaches of the state and war de partments indicate concern. It Is rumored that Paclfio coast reports tenrti to connect other forces than the Mexican government with the mili tary demonstration.
