BILL WILL PROVIDE ROAD

tFrom a staff corrsspondent.)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-(Special Tel
egram. 1.-The senate committee on Indian
affairs today agreed to report as an
amendment to the Indian appropriation
hill a bill which has the endorsement
of both Nebraska senators giving the
secretary of the interior the right TO con-
meet up county roads through an Indian
reservation. The bill, which was favor
ably reported from the Indian affairs
committee of the senate and now on the
calendar, was prompted through the re-
fusal of an Indian of the Winnebago res
ervation in Nebraska to sign the neces-
sary permits as provided for under the
old law relating to the construction OF
county roads.
The Indian in question originally agreed
to the construction of a county road
through his property. but later withdrew
his consent. which tied up the PROPOSE
ton completely. 1t is for the purpose of
correcting an obvious wrong that the
bill was agreed to today.

has been interested in the matter, left
for Nebraska today. feeling certain that
the legislation will get through all right.

HONEYMOONERS
CENTER or INTEREST
At HOT SPRINGS, VA,
tpy United Press Leased wlre.l

(By United Press Leased Wire.l
Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 20.--Though
apparently happily oblivious OF sur
roundings, President and Mrs. VIII
son constituted the center OF the
winter colony's eager interest today.
Wealthy New Workers.. wintering
here, anxiously awaited the debut"
OF the honeymooners.
The president and his bride took
breakfast In their private suite. as
they did all OF Sundays meals.
Outside. the clear crisp air spoke
q tempting invitation to take turn
at the golf links. The couples
plans, however. called only for an
auto ride In the mountains during the
afternoon.
Thus far public business has not
intruded to mar tho Joy OF tho pre-
sldential honeymoon. During the
forenoon the president answered con-
gratulations that have poured In up
on him In an unending stream. He
also had a short session with his
private stcnographer, Charles Sven,
over routine matters.
The executive. however. Is pre-
pared to keep In closest touch with
international AFFAIRS. for he has a
private telephone line over which he
can talk with Secretary OF State
Lansing or Secretary Tumulty over
state affairs at moments notice.
The Washington officials are in.
,structed to keep him posted on any
developments requiring his imme.
diate attention.
The movie theaters OF San Fran
cisco. Chicago. New York. Boston and
elsewhere will not get chance Ia
show pictures OF the presidential
honeymooners. as the president re-
mains .adamant against requests that
they be permitted to snap him. A
veritable army OF the movie operators
Is on hand to get some views. bu'
the secret service men guarding the
president are prepared to smash theil
cameras II necessary to save the chiel
executive from annoyance.

A STRONG ORGANIZATION.


The coming OF r. B. Miller into the
Coast railroad organization proves
that the Twohys are building upon q
broad-gnage plan. They are bring
ing into the departments of the COM
pany the very best ability to be found
in the northwest, men who measure
up in their special lines just as do
the Twohys measure up as organizers
and contracting builders. From the
Milwaukee line the firm brought En-
gineer Macvicar. and his special duty
is to find the route for the new road.
As locating engineer for the Mil
waukee when il made its way vest
ward through Idaho and Washing
ton Mr.. Macvicar established his
position, and it was natural that he
was the choice OF the Coast line
people when they sought talent to
meet and overcome the engineering
problems between Grants Pass and
the sea. Now the announcement that
Mr.. Miller is to be connected with
the new road is of much more than
passing interest. He Is one OF the
foremost traffic men Of the coast, and
certainly he will be satisfied with
nothing short Of big things for a
road to which he lends his name and
gives his ability. The organization
which the Twohy Brothers company
is building up around the road that
Grants Pass started can mean only
success in big way for the under
taking. It was a fortunate day fol
this metropolis of the Rogue when
the Twohy name came into its loca'
affairs.
