.REM0NsTRANCE
NOT IN SIGHT
FRIENDS OF PAVING HOPE
QUESTION is SETTLED.
Ex-Mayor Matlock Favors Macadam
Under Some Conditions, Bun Is Not

Move to Prevent Bltuiithic-Georgc
Darveau and Others Favor Bftulith-
ic Against Anything Yet Suggested.

Up to this afternoon no remon-
STRANGE against the paving of Main
and Court streets had been started,
and friends of paving are hopeful that
such will not be done.
w. F. Matlock said this morning
that the story in the Tribune this
morning was unwarranted, as far as
he is concerned. He says he Is not
heading any remonstrance and does
not know that he will demonstrate
against paving. He wishes to talk
the matter over with property owners
before making UP his mind in the
matter. However, he Is disposed to
favor macadam rather than paving.
and says he would rather see 90
streets macadamized than four paved.
Among Main street property owners
who have desired paving there Is now
a feeling of elation over the prospect
OF getting the improvement. They
declare there is now no reason on
earth why a remonstrance should be
started, as the council has thoroughly
Investigated the matter and the men,
bers acted unanimously In selecting
bftulitnic.
George Darveau declares himself
fatty against macadam for Main
street, and says he will fight any
movement to improve with that ma
terial instead OF hard pavement.
Most of the other local property
owners are of the same sentiment.

NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Governor Chamberlain Says Oregon Is
Giving Freely TO San francisco.

Governor Chamberlain was asked il
he intended to convene the legislature
in special session in compliance with
the telegraphic request of Senators
Fulton and Gearin in order that an ap-
preparation might be made for the re-
lief of the sufferers from earthquake
and conflagration at San Francisco
and other places in California, says the
Salem Statesman.
In reply he stated that while he
fully appreciates the motives which
prompted the kilograms referred to,
he does not feel that 1t would be Just
to the people of the state or show a
proper spirit to the good people of
California to undertake to levy an en-
forced contribution and to thereby de-
prive our citizens of the magnificent
reply which they have made to the
call for aid from their friends and
neighbors in California.
within "a hours after the disaster
carloads of supplies and hundreds of
thousands of dollars were voluntarily
contributed by workers in every fac
tory, field and farm. and by every
city. town and hamlet in the state"
said Governor Chamberlain. 1.-THE
world has never witnessed such mag
nificent and immediate generosity
Not only have cities and towns con-
tributed, but the people in the inter-
Tor everywhere have hastened to
points along the line of railway and
other transportation facilities and
generously donated money. supplies
and clothing sufficient to answer i'm
mediate and pressing demands.
THE ladies of the state in the cities
in the field and on the farm have pre-
pared bread and other supplies tc
meet pressing needs, and altogether
there has been shown a disposition
everywhere to meet the necessities OF
