ROBERGE
CAPTURED
AT CHEMAWA

/ Arthur Roberge, the bartender, who
stole S104,5O from the till of the sa-
loon of Frank Collins, in the Bligh
building, early Saturday morning, was
captured by Officer Burkhardt satur-
day afternoon at Chemawa. Burk-
hardt was given the case by Chief
Hamilton, and spent all forenoon Sat
urday searching the city, and in the
afternoon began the use Of the tele-
phone, and, among other places tele-
phoned to was Chemawa. This was
about 8 o'clock, and within a few
minutes before the time the Southern
Pacific train was due here, he re-
ceived information that Roberge was
at Chemawa, waiting to take the train.
Mr.. Burkhardt got taxi and arrived
Just in time to catch the train, and
when he arrived at Chemawa he
found Roberge there as stated. He
placed him under arrest, and brought
him back on the Oregon Electric. He
was taken to the police station, and,
upon being searched by the officers,
it was found that he had $1O2,T on his
person, which, in all probability, was
all Mr. Collins money.
A warrant was issued in Justice of
the Peace Webster's court, charging
him with embezzlzement, and he will
be arraigned before Judge Webster
some time this afternoon.
The work Of Mr. Burkhardt in cap
turing the culprit is regarded as one
of the cleverest pieces Of detective
work done here lately, and he is GER
tainly deserving of great deal Of
praise for the manner in which he
run down his man.

HASSAM PAVING
IGOlNG TO PIECES
Concrete Must Be Covered With Coat
ing Of Asphalt.

Sunday 0regonian, March ~
Hassam pavement, which was laid
on Grand avenue between East Nor
rison street and Hawthorne avenue,
three years ago at large expense to
the property owners is disintegrat-
ing rapidly and extensive repairs
must be made at once In nearly
every block there are deep chuck
holes where the pavement has worn
away There are also numerous
cracks in the street due to expan-
sion and contraction Of the pavement
and there are other places where the
paving material is going to pieces.
This pavement has a life Of 10
years, during which time 1t must be
maintained at no cost TO the abut-
ting property owner, and Ave years
Of which the contractor must main
tain It free of cost to the city. Two
of these FIVE years still remain and
when the city has TO take over the
maintenance, It will be great eX-
pense to the street repair fund, as
II is feared that an entirely new
pavement will have to be laid.
This is the same class Of pavement
which has been laid over many miles
Of streets in the city during the past
four years and for which there are
some contracts incompleted, 1t was
introduced here by the oregon Has
sam Paving company and It consists
Of cement and crushed rock forming
concrete mixture. AT lrst 1t was
laid for $1,S5 a square yard, largely
It is said because It was protected
by patents, but recently many con-
tracts for concrete pavement have
been let in this city at a cost of s1.25
to $1.6O a square yard, which City
Engineer Hurlburt says is equally as.
good as that which goes by the name
OF Hassam.
81 have taken the condition of this
street up with the Oregon Hassam
Paving company" said City Engineer
Hurlburt, today and the company
has promised me TO make repairs to
II within the next month. realize
that II is getting in pretty bad con-
dltion and something must be done
to IT, The repairs must be quite ex-
tenslve."
The wearing surface Of this class
Of pavement must be protected or
fear the pavement will not last many
years. believe II should be covered
with coating Of asphalt oil, and in
all the specifications now being pre-
pared by me, have specified that
concrete payements shall be covered
with coat Of asphalt II this will
not cost too much, bellyc this will
prevent the concrete streets from
dislntegrating rapidly where they
have unusually heavy travel on them.
such as is on Grand avenue"
This is not the only trouble the
city has been having with Hassam
and other concrete payements. The
cement, which wears away, washes,
II is said, into the sewers and there
sets second time, clogging the
sewers. In several districts Of the
city II has been found necessary to
take up sewers and relay them. II
the coat OF asphalt oil is placed over
the pavement II will prevent the
grinding away Of the concrete and
thus eliminate the clogging OF the
sewers.

What do you know about, the
spit ball, Mr.. Baseball Fan?
You have seen, it pitched a
thousand times and know how efEs
fective it is when the pitcher has
control. You have seen catchers
stop the elusive ball with their
shins and kneecaps and have
watched batters whale at it in
vain.
Can you say why the spit ball
acts as it does? }.
Golfers tries to explain "the
mystery of the spit ball" Wheth-
er it has succeeded is a question.
The following is part of what
Will Irwin says on the subject in
Golfers:
Ed Walsh, greatest spit-bailer,
doesn't know why the ball acts so
queerly. He practices and expert
ments and repeats the motions
which produce the effect.

carefully fitting two fingers over
the wet spot He throws the ball
with all speed straight toward the

Ford, doc, White and other
brainy pitchers have theory,
which Irwin believes, after
months of investigation, deserves
consideration, though it is not ac-
cepted-b by the scientists he con-
suited.
It is that the ball, because Of

We regret the necessity of stating
the fact, but duty compels US to the
task, that for more than two thousand
years the determined aim of the
whites has been to crush the colored
races whenever found With de-
uermined. aim they have sought and
pursued them in every quarter of the
globe. The Anglo-Saxon has taken
the lead in the work of universal sub
jugation. But the Anglo-American
stands pre-eminent for deeds of un-
justice and acts of oppression unpar-
alleled perhaps in the annals of mod
ern history"

sToP,~Look, READ AND ACT.

There is need of more common
sense view of politics among the col
ored citizens of Colorado. The up-
usually large and disproportionate
number of political workers we have
among us, have not affected any i'm
provement in our political condition
or Industrial opportunities. They
have only served to make us seem
ridiculous in Offering time and en-
deavor of hundreds in return for not
a single bit of legislative advantage,
and mighty little of the spoils of Of
fee. We do not refer to the registra-
tion or voting, which is the work of
each voter and is his duty, but we
mean the numerous political eau
cusses, the endless chain of political
intrigue which makes deal of noise
and~results in a half dozen janitor-
ships. We refer to the days wasted
by hundreds of persons in getting
work on election day, amounting in
ali to $500, when the same effort in
other lines would earn more money
without the disadvantage OF being
under obligations to anyone. we re-
fer to the charnel house of lies, the
fabrications of rival petty chieftains
who are never honored by political
parties with any real power, but VINO
try to build up their political fortunes
on te ruin of the regulations OF 9TH
ers. We refer to the STAINLESS neg
lect of the rights of the race by our
politicians, in their mad pursuit OF
jobs for themselves.
We make these observations in no
partisan spirit, nor to bring odlum
upon any particular person. The con-
dition in general pervades both par
ties. 1t exists largely because the
community has not counted up the
cost of permitting it to go on. We
ask that the voters who have no am
billions in politics, count up the dollar
and cents value of the returns that
have come to us as result OF the
present system. Then compare it with
what is our just proportion of public
expenditure, compare it with what
we ought to get even under the stric-
tions race prejudice places upon us;
compare it with the return the time
and labor expended would bring in
other work. 1t is hopeless to expect
the politician to give up his pretense
of importance just as long as the vot-
ers permit i'm to trade upon their
support for his personal gain. There
is need of a healthy public sentiment
that will make voters do their full
duty in registering and voting, ana
there is equal necessity for the cour-
age to demand a square deal even II
we are black. If present leaders Will
not do, they should be discarded. 1T
is mistaken sympathy which sacri-
fees all because it hesitates to prune
off the rotten and decayed part. Then
should it transpire that there is a
disposition on the part of white lead
ers of political parties to thrust upon
us leadership that is not loyal to us,
we should resent it just as we would
refuse to take poison at their bid
ding. We are citizens. We must
know our duties and our rights. We
must do the one and demand the
other.

i From time to time, through regular

man, statements are made in these
columns to which persons take excep
| ton. The editor wishes the persons
who thus complain to understand that
we recognize fully our moral respons.
ibility for giving publicity to any mat
ter which does not fairly reflect the
truth. Yet at the same time it must
be evident that We cannot have per-
sonal knowledge of all that is pub
lished herein. Therefore, when er-
rors occur, it is only necessary that
the facts be presented for them to be
given equal publicity as the errone-
Gus article which is under criticism
Some persons in asking correction
are not satisfied unless they also be
given opportunity to excorciate the
correspondent. In fairness to the reg
ular correspondent, whose good inten-
tions we have long knowledge of, we
refuse space for such condemnation
While we exercise editorial super
vision over all matter published in
this paper, we do not take to our
selves as our own, all the opinions
which contributors have. Some per
sons attempt to-,thrust the burden
upon us, but they should not. Then
again, when as matter of news it is
stated that a given condition is re-
ported to have existed, the paper does
not say that it is true, it merely says
that it is reported.

Squirrels as Tree Planters.

Contrary to common belief. the gray
squirrels of the United States do not
lay up their winter store of nuts in
mass, but bury each one separate and
apart from the rest. and for this rea-
son they are natures most important
chestnut, hickory and walnut tree
planters. The nuts are hidden in the
ground, often at a considerable dis
lance from one another, and either by
instinct or a remarkable memory the
squirrels will penetrate through sew
eral feet of snow when in want of
food and seldom if ever fail to find
the hidden treasures. They do not
need or use the one-tenth part of the
provender they have hidden away in
the ground, and what they do not con
