CErrey Robinson Leaves For Washington.

Mr.. Currey Robinson left Monday for
Washington d. c., where through the
instrumentality of Congressman Helm,
he has been appointed to a lucrative
position in the pension department.
Currey is promising young man, well
qualified. having just completed d
course at the State College in Lexing-
ton and will surely give a good account
of himself in Washington. and We ex-
pect to see him rapidly climb the ladder
until he attains one of the highest pO-
sitions in his department.

According to the information pub

known United States railway builder,
has announced his intention to order
four powerful passenger vessels for the

1t is thought probable that the gov

be brought strongly to their notice by
the business community who stand ia

MISSING SCHOONER
FOUND AFTER 70 YEARS
Diver Discovers Old Cannery Tender
That Has $4,000 Worth of Tin
in Her Cellar"

Tacoma, Wash, April 1S.-After
twenty years, the North Pacific ocean
has yielded up another of her secrets.
The mystery in the disappearance of
the American cannery schooner Sadie
F. Caller, of San Francisco, has been
solved by Walter McCray, a Tacoma
diver The battered hull of the staunch
three.master lies in sixty feet of water
near Chignick and IL is expected ap.
proximately $4,000 salvage will be re.
covered from the long buried wreck
during the coming summer. Sadie Il.
Caller sailed from San Francisco with
cargo Of pig tin, intended for one
of the coast canneries, Months passed
and no word came from the vessel and
she was finally given up for lost. u
Nothing was ever found that would
indicate her fate until last summer,
when McCray, in putting down a fish
trap at Chignick lagoon, encountered an
obstruction which investigation proved
to be a wooden ship. By scratching
away the accumulation Of baTnacles
clinging to her, McCray discovered the
name carved in the hull The find was
kept secret.

Warden James Hoyle, San Quentin
guards today are searching for 100
sticks of dynamite stolen from the pris.

Tuesday afternoon. Up to 10 O'Clock
tonight no tract of the missing explo.

was not discovered until yesterday
when the magazine was visited to get
dynamite and caps to be used in the
construction of road beds between the

is at loss to account for its disappear.

A BRIEF HISTORY Of THE OAKS ADDITION

The present city council cannot bo
blamed for all the present unsavory
conditions Of city affairs, Some Of the
things 1t is wrestling with it got as tho
boy did the itch; It was given to 1t,
and the maladorous mess arising from
the Oaks addition paving business, was
handed down by the city grandads to
the city dads, and shows that our an.
cestors, so to speak, were not perfect in
their business methods, and here is a
bit Of a story that illustrates the busi.
ness methods of the average city coun.
ell which that of last year was, as the
present one, perhaps, is.
A petition was filed to have certain
streets in Oaks addition paved. This
addition is in the northeastern part Of
the city. In considering the petition
1t was discovered that the property at
its assessed valuation, was not suffi.
cient to comply with the Bancroft bond.
ing act, and that therefore the petition
could not be granted,
A little thing like this was not much
Of an obstacle to the owners, or some
Of them who had dealt in wireless stock
valued by some people selling it much
above It's market value.
Mr.. Stewart, one Of the owners, went
to the county assessor, and shamefaccd.
! ly confessed that he felt he was really
robbing the county and state by permit.
ting the Oaks addition to escape its
proper share Of taxes, and at his urgent
request and to satisfy his tender con.
science, the assessor kindly consented
TO raise the assessment Of Oaks add.
tion which was only $4,000 to 100000
This made the value Of the property
sufficient TO come within the purview
Of the Bancroft act, and so the council
again took up the Oaks addition peti.
tion for street paving and ordered the
paving done. In compliance with this
order, the Universal Construction Co.,
which is believed by many to be part
Of or subsidiary branch of the Warren
Construction Co., was awarded a con.
tract to do this paving for the sum of
$41 ,704O1
Previous TO this the oaks addition had
been bonded for improving Capitol,
Summer and D streets, and the North
Salem trunk sewer, in a total amount
Of $4,000.
In the Universal Co.'S contract for
paving the Oaks addition IL was, in adj.
dition to the paving, provided that the
contractors should also lay gas and
water mains, which was in direct VIC.
latioh Of the charter, and the cost Of
which was included in and covered by

the contract price Of $4l, ,70401. The
contract also provided that the city was
to in no way be responsible for this
debt either principal or interest, but
that the contractor must look to Oaks
addition for his pay.
When the contract was nearly com
pleted the contractors wanted their
money, and put up $1,000 in escrow to
guarantee the completion Of the work,
small part Of one street, two blocks,
being unfinished, On this showing, tho
bonds were illegally issued, as no war,
rants had been issued for the amounts,
and bonds cannot, under the charter be
issued as payment Of city indebtedness,
warrants must first be issued and these
can be taken up by the bonds, This
was not done, but the bonds were issued
and advertised, but could not be sold as
attorneys for would.be bond buyers ad.
vised their clients that the bond issue
was illegal,
While il was understood in letting the
contract that the city of Salem was not
to bc held responsible, yet when the
bonds were issued, they show on their
face that the whole city Of Salem is re.
sponsible for them. This bunch Of
bonds was taken up by the Universal
Construction Co... which so far as is
known is still the owner and holder Of
them, knowing them to be illegally is
sued.
In the meanwhile, Mr.. Stewart = CON
science had ceased to trouble him, the
tender spots having healed over, so he
went to the county assessor again, who
seems 10 have been M affable and ac.
commodating official, and had the as.
sessment Of Oaks addition reduced from
100000 to about 100000, which indi.
Gates how nearly thoroughly recovered
Mr.. Stewart's 3 conscience was.
In the meanwhile the owners Of Oaks
addition TO protect the city in the is.
suing Of bonds gave the city n mortgage
on the addition for $4,000. This mort.
gage can be found in Book 50, page 1890
Of the county records. The city council
Ihad absolutely no authority to accept
such n mortgage. II had no authority
to issue the bonds. Both acts were illo.
gal and contrary to the statute and
charter.
So far there has not been a really
Ipgal action in the whole Oaks addition
matter, II was conceived in iniquity
born In sin and is so to speak now q
professional criminal, but this Is not all
the story. The city council, at Mr.
Stewards request, vacated the two
blocks not paved.
