EXAMINED
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
capitol grounds as a site for the new
building for the supreme court and
library and other offices today failed
to arrive at decision but took the
subject under advisement.
The appropriation made for the
purchase of the land and the erec-
ton 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
full even when the time 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.

Gains. and, eager to have another ses-
sion, so that they might pass them
over his head, they have taken ad-
vantage of the Quarreling between
Flagg and his committee to work up
sentiment and get an excuse for an
other session. That seems to be the
principal reason for the stories being
circulated in the newspapers. Cover
nor West vetoed Rusk's second choice
bill, which was championed by the
Oregonian, and that organ would nat
urally like to see 1t resurreeted. He
alao vetoed Senator Woods bill re-
lating to the creation of new coun-
ties, several of Senator Bowerman's S
bills and dozens of appropriation
bills, and these, it is contended, by
those who claiIn to know, 1t is desired
to have passed, and hence the cry Of
an urgent need pOf an extra session
by those backing them.
Governor West is in Southern Ore
gon, and could not be seen. but 1t is

itiOians playing it will have to man

PAVING CO.
WITHDRAWS
ALL BIDS
THE CLARK AND HENRY AS.
PHALT PAVING COMPANY WILL
NOT OPERATE IN SALEM ON
ACCOUNT OF HIGH PRICE OF
MATERIAL.

The Clark and Henry Asphalt Paw
ing company of Sacramento has with
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,S4 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 $500 per yard delivered, and
they can get good sand in other
towns from rs cents up to $1.50.
Clark Gives Reasons.
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
