PROPOSE BUYING
BARLOW ROAD
SCHEME GETS BACKING
Plan Is to Provide Thoroughfarc So
That Travel from Portland to East
ern Oregon and Back Will BE
Easier-Local Men Are Enthusias-
tbs Boosters of Plan.

To buy the old Barlow road
through the Cascade mountains near
Mt. Hood, improve the same at once
and with that and some other work
provide a road whereby people may
travel by auto from Portland into
eastern Oregon and vice versa is the
object of a move that is now being
launched and has some very enthu-
siastic hackers.
Dan P. Smythe. local lawyer and
sheepman who has been enlisted in
the plan, discussed it today as fol-
lows:
The Barlow road was built in
early days and is yet a toll road. 1t
extends through the mountains and
is in very good condition as far as
Mt. Hood. The eastern end of the
road, however, has been neglected
for years. Some Portland people of
influence, among them Mrs. d. P.
Thompson, Walter Burrell, H. Wem-
me and other members of the Port
land auto club desire to see the toll
road purchased and public highway
provided at once to eastern Oregon.
II is represented lIle dllOM lOdu
be had very cheaply."
The plan is to have the Port
land people take care of the road
through the Cascades and to the Was
co county line. Then for each coun-
ty in eastern Oregon to look after
that portion of the road within its
boundaries. 1t will not be necessary
to establish any new roads or to do
any expensive work anywhere. NAL
colin Moody says tnat the road
through Wasco county can be main
tanned very easily and that the work
will be done. The route to Pendleton
will be via Olex, Heppner and Pilot
Rock. BY taking this course the
sand will be avoided and hard
highway may be used. From Pendle-
ton to La Grande the road now in
use may be utilized and it will only
be necessary to see that it is kept in
shape. The same will be true of the
road over from Heppner. Through
very little expense on the part of the
county courts or through use of mon
ey raised by subscription the roads
can be kept in good shape for auto
travel during the fair weather sea-
son.
A Boon to Roundup.
Portland people want to see this
road arranged for this summer if
possible so that this fall they can
make the run to Pendleton by auto
and attend the Roundup. Last fall
number of Portlanders came by au-
to. shipping their machines by boat
to The Dalles. But they had much
trouble coming over sandy roads and
it is desired to get highway farther
back from the river The Portland
autoists would like to see a road pro-
vided that will permit of a trip to
eastern oregon as easily as the run
to southern oregon may be made
Many would like to go by auto as fan
as Baker and back via Burns and the
! interior. The highway from Port
land to Pendleton would be very con

The report bears reference 60 the inves-

The Consolidated Lighting Co., sub

that will be considered at greater
length at the next meeting The conf
pany offers the city ten-year street
lighting contract that will mean a saving
of $4,000 over a one-year contract and
allows the city to terminate the con-
tract at the end of any one year pro-
viding the difference between the ten
year contract prices and the one-year
prices are paid on withdrawal from the

fit to entertain it, the contents will be
reduced to more amplifying figures.

BALKAN
ULT|MATUM
No Date Has Been Fixed for
It's Presenta-
ton
TO BE DELIVERED
WHEN OPPORTUNE
Allies Still Hope To Avert
Rupture Of Nego-
tiations

London Jan. 29.-What may be tn,
last note delivered by the peace dele
gates of the Allied Balkan nations to the
Turkish plenipotentiaries was finally
drafted and signed yesterday by all the
representatives of the Balkan league, but
no date was fixed for its presentation
The meeting of the delegates of the al
lies this afternoon unanimously APP
proved the draft and entrusted Stojan
Novakovitch, the leader of the Servian
delegation, with its presentation, when
the moment is considered opportune."
The allies are, it is believed, still hope
full that something will turn up to avert
the definite rupture of the peace nego-
tiations.
Richard Pasha head of the Turkish
delegation, in an interview said that he
deeply regretted the obstinacy of the
allies. which. he declared, was not only
against Turkeys, but against their own
true interests. He added: "This OBJ
stinacy is the more regrcttable because
while Bulgaria does not need Adrianople,
either for defensive or oensive pur-
poses, this town is indispensable to Tur-
key on account of historic, sentimental
and religious ASSOCIATIONS. In TACT. uT-
key would be weaker from military
point of view possessing Adrianople than
without it, as the present war proves,
for whole army is now immobilized in
side that fortress. Turkey has shown
. yielding spirit towards the allies, ced-
ing larger area than their own coun-
tries before the war. What was the use
Of assembling conference if the allies
were determined to make no concessions
whatever? The object of all confer
ences always has been to find a COM
promise through mutual giving way. II
'he allies had played noble part by re-
Adrianople, Turkey might have
become the friend and ally of Bulgaria,
ls Austria became the friend and ally Of
Germany after the war of 1865. BY |
laiming Adrianople, if Bulgaria ever
,ets it, there will be an insurmountahle |
,ulf between the two countries and the |
wo races. The spirit of revenge in Tur-
icy will be stronger and deeper than
hat still left in France over the loss of
forty-two years ago
