PAVING CONTRACT
SOON TO EXPIRE
AFTER OCTOBER IL DAM
AGES MAY BE COLLECTED
Company's Contract the Paving
Should Be Completed by October
~, After Which Date the City May
Collect so Per Day for Every Das
OF the Delay - Paving Machinery
Not All i'm Place.

Less than a week now remains for
the Warren company to complete its
paving contract, for by the terms of
the agreement with the city the job
is to be completed by October AZ,
which will be next Friday. After that
date the company will be liable to a
penalty of SO per day for each day
of the delay. However, this amount is
so trifling in comparison with the
size of the paving contract that it will
probably have little effect upon the
ccmpany's movements.
Although but five days now remain
under the contract, the machinery
constituting the paving plant is not
all here yet and as a result no paw
ing can be done. Most of the plant
is here and it has been set up on the
vacant land owned by the o. r. & n.
company on Bluff street.
Also large quantity of bitumen
is now on hand. But the engine by
which the plant is operated and also
another engine for use in running the
rock crusher at the Webb quarry
have not vet arrived from the east
Consequently no work can be done
other than what now remains to be
done on the surface of the streets
and at the Franklin street quarry
where rock is still being crushed.
The remainder of the curbing work
and the work upon the 14-inch gut
ters is being delayed while waiting
for sand from Umatilla. Two car
loads that have already been receiv-
ed have been objected to by Ed Har-
low. inspector for the city, because
of the fact that they contain alkali

FINLAND CONGRESS MEETS.
Russian Government Modifles Its OPP
pressivenesS.

st. Petersburg, Oct 6.-The con-
gress meets today in Finland by per-
mission of the government, which has
become satisfied that the opposition
and repression It meted out to the
members has worked no good, and
accordingly II consented to the meet
ing OF the congress, so long as 1t did
not meet In st. Petersburg.
The constitutional democrats have
elaborated plans for the coming par
liamentary elections, and have held
nightly sessions for some time. The
committee OF the constitutionality Is
highly satisfied with the new position
of the government, member declar-
ing that the earlier prohibition has
served the purpose of consolidating
the party and preventing schism.
which was expected after the Issuance
of the Voborg manifesto. This mani
festo will probably be kept in the
background at the convention, the
party leaders now being convinced
that its issuance was a tactical mis-
take due to insistence of the radical
wing.
Neither the non-payment of taxes
nor the refusal of military service,
member of the committee admitted,
is practical measure at present.
The Octoberists and the regenera-
tionists have been in conference In
the matter of cooperation, and have
succeeded in reaching an agreement
on many points of the electoral pro-
gram, but are still divided, as were the
conservative liberals in the spring
campaign on minor points.

trict Attorney Phelps.
The case against Mrs. Walters is one
of long standing and in the Indictment
she is charged with having sold liquor

dictment was brought against her.

Thomas B. Kay, state senator from
Marion county and a prospective can
didate for the presidency of the sem
ate, was visitor in the city today,
and while here consulted with MEM
bers of the Umatilla delegation and
others prominent in the political
field.
About o'clock Senator Kay and
DR.. c. ]. Smith, reelected state sem
ator from this county, were the center
of a group on Main street, and pro-
posed legislation was the theme.
I'VE are going to rely upon Senator
Kay to help us get our jute mill prop

That he would be found willing to
aid in getting the measure through
was intimated by the gentleman from
Marion county, and he expressed him.

convicts do factory work instead Of
being employed on county roads.
Experience has fully shown" de-
clared he, that the idea of having
convicts work on public roads is not

engaged at such work during the past
summer, 10 per cent have escaped.
and all of the prisoners have been
| TRUSTEES, too. This fact alone should

working the prisoners on the roads,"
Also, Senator Kay objects to con-
vict labor on roads for the reason
that they can be employed only about
seven months in the year, and are
forced to remain idle during the re-
naming. five, whereas In Jute mill
or other factory, they could be used
during the whole year. Furthermore,
he declares that only a few valley
counties would profit from the con-
victs working on the roads, and says
that Marion county will not be so
selfish as to ask that the plan be con-
| tinued, though that county would
profit more than any other by the
scheme.
In private life Senator Kay is a
manufacturer and he is identified with
