PATENT CONTROVERSY
DELAYS PAVING WORK
improvements Of Sunset Boulevard
Must Wait Result of CommunIca-
tion with Those Who Lay
Claim to Royalties

Because of patents alleged to be in
| volved in the bitulithic pavement to
lie laid on Sunset boulevard this i'm
provement is again held up.
The The Pattillo Contracting COM
pany, which was recently awarded tho
contract for paving Sunset boulevard.
after hard contest in which the board
Of public works found it necessary to
reject bids and readvertise, appeared
before the board yesterday with a writ
ten demand that the board sign the
contract on behalf Of the city.
When this demand was presented the
board sent for Assistant City Attorney
Young, who advised the board to re-
fuse to comply with the demand, as the
city might be held liable for royalties
on the patented pavement.
The patent is claimed by Warren
Bros. of New York, and they have been
upheld in their claim by the United
States court of appeals. This decision
was rendered only a few days ago, and
Los Angeles officials were notified i'm
mediately.
The case was tried in New York
state and went through every court,
the lower ones refusing to allow the
claim. but in the court Of appeals it
was upheld. There is nothing unusual
in the bitulithic paving material. 1t
is a simple mixture of asphalt and
DTOh0H TOCK, instead OIL the usual as
phalt and cement concrete, and ex-
perts in paving material say it would
be almost as impossible to maintain a
patent on this mixture as it would be
on mush and milk.
The Pattillo company is trying to get
permission from Warren Bros. to use
the material without subjecting the city
to the liability of a claim for royalties.
1t may be necessary for the contrac-
| tors to send a man to Boston to treat
directly with the owners of the patent,
but under any circumstances it appears
that the contract cannot be signed for
about two weeks. Should Warren Bros.
refuse to grant permission to use the
ceedings will have to be gone over
again and some. other material speci-
| fed.

WILL ADVISE CHANGES IN
PICTURE SHOW ORDINANCE
Measure Before Council Gives the
Police jurisdiction, Requiring
Permits from Proprietors

At the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil delegation of moving picture men
will appear and suggest changes in an
ordinance now before the council regu-
lating the kind of pictures that may
be shown. This delegation is said to
be as much in favor of the ordinance
as is the council, which asked that it
be drawn, and its suggestions may have
the effect of making the ordinance even
more drastic.
The measure before the council was
presented by the city attorney Tuesday
and forbids the exhibition of moving
pictures showing the commission of
crimes or immoral scenes. 1t also gives
the police jurisdiction over these places
by making it necessary for proprietors
of moving picture shows to secure
permits from the police commission
Should the pictures shown violate any
of the provisions Of the ordinance the
commission can revoke the permit at
will.

iNTERURBAN ROAD WILL BE
ORDERED TO LOWER TRACKS

The board of public works will order
the Los Angeles Interurban railway to
lower its tracks at Twenty-fourth and
Vermont.
At this point they are two inches
higher than the pavement, and water,
during heavy storms, backs up against
these tracks and flows into the stores
on Twenty-fourth street. The railway
company declares it was a mistake on
the part of it's tracklayers, who placed
the rails two inches higher than the
pavement, but the board Of public
works says this mistake does not re-
lieve the railway from liability for the
damage and declares the rails must
come down.

LOCATING
CITY HALL

Albany, Ore, Dec. 1.-THE citi-
Zens of Albany are having a great
time deciding where to erect the city
hall, which has just been voted upon
by the taxpayers.
Suggestions of all kinds have been
made, but about the most foolish OF
all has just been published by one
A. j. Carothers, a fanatical Prohi.
who last season refused to haul hop
pickers to the fields, for the reason
that beer was made out of the crop.
Now comes his latest by offering a
block, incidentally which he owns, for
$1,000 for the erection of Albany's S
city hall, which will cost $4,000, a
block located in Hackleman's addi-
ton, over a mile from Albany's bust
ness center.
The enumeration of the school
children of the county drawing money
was completed today by Superintend-
ent Jackson. The report gives the
total for the county as 1897, against
6972 for last year, an increase of
425.
A remarkable election was held in
Albany Monday. A chief engineer
was elected for the fire department,
and as Fred Hockspier of No. 1, was
the only nominee, it was conceded
that he would carry the day with
ease.
But, to the surprise of the judges
when the votes were counted, JEFF
Creel was elected by two votes. He
was also elected assistant chief.
Mr.. Creel accepted the higher Of
flee and will appoint his own assist
ant.

Choosing a Christmas Present.


When you make a present of a
periodical to friend or a family
you are really selecting a companion
to influence them for good or i'll
during whole year. If the ac-
quaintances of your sons and daugh-
ters were to talk to them aloud as
some periodicals talk to them silent
ly, how quickly you would forbid
the companionship! In the one
case as in the other, the best course
is to supplant the injurious with
something equally attractive and at
the same time worth while" A
food can be wholesome and utterly
distasteful. Reading can be made
so too. But The Youths Companion
not only nourishes the mind, but de-
lights it, just like that ideal asso-
ciate whom you would choose. The
Youths Companion fills that place
now in more than half a million
homes Can you not think of an
other family in which it is not now
known where it would be joyfully
welcomed?

DAVEY
DEFENDS
PRINCIPLE

It's all right, one may suppose,
for Frank Davey, of the Harney
County News and the Burns Land
Office, to continue his batteries or
Senator Bourne and his support Of
Statement One" that he may con-
tinue to hold office. But they who
see the relation of cause and effect
will not bother about it. However,
it's a small matter, anyhow.-Ore-
gonian.
Frank Davey" supported state
ment One" in 19O2-S when the Ore
gonian supported it, when T. T..
Geer and numerous other leaders of
the republican party supported It;
he supported the principle of cleo
tion of United States senators by the
voice of the people during the many
years that republican state conven-
tions and republican legislatures de-
clared for 1t in platforms and me-
MORALS. He supported it because
he believed the republican party was
sincere in its advocacy. He is sup
porting it now because he believes
in 1t as a principle, regardless of the
fact that the Oregonian and several
of his esteemed friends who consider
themselves leaders, have determined
to rob the people of the privilege
and return to the corrupt scenes
which were enacted in Oregon in
conventions and legislatures for
many years.
During all these years and up to
the present Frank Davey has con-
sistently and uncompromisingly sup
ported the republican ticket from
president to poundmaster and his
worst enemies never had to lay
awake nights to know where to find
him politically. This, too, while the
Oregonian and many of the present
howlers for the destruction of the
primary laws were knitting the tick
ct to accomplish their factional ven
geance.
Frank Davey has never yet sup
ported a man or measure to obtain
or to hold office, and the Oregonian
knows it, but is willing to stoop to
any kind of subterfuge in order to
carry out it's threats of mo quar-
ter" to any man who dares to raise
a voice against the unholy deter
mination to place the party again
in the hands of the machine.
! 1t is, indeed, small matter what
Frank Davey or his little Harney
County News may do or say, but
| just the same he will continue upon
the consistent course which he has
pursued since 1902; he will
| continue to battle for what
he believes to be the right of the
people to govern themselves; he will
hold up the hands of our senators
| in Washington, so long as he be-
lieves them to be serving the inter
ests of Oregon and the nation; and
Office or no office, he will stand for
what he considers the best good OF
the republican party, which is hon
esty with the people and confidence
in their intelligence.
And the threats or slurs Of the
Oregonian and all the power which
it represents will have no deterrent
effect.-Harney County News.
