State Ranks High
In Highway Work

That ten years spent in the edu-
cation of voters and officers of the
state of Oregon has resulted in vast
accomplishments in good roads build
ing, is the fact presented between
the lines of a recent report OF the
division of road economics of the
federal department of agriculture,
which shows that, although Oregon
boasts a smaller population than
most other states II is second among
all states in point of per capita eX-
penditure for highway construction
and maintenance for 1915. This
state spent sum equal to 1919
for every citizen, placing her next
below Montana, which ranks first.
Incidentally, Jackson county ranks
we'll at the top among the counties
of Oregon.
These figures are startling when
the fact is considered that the gener-
al average per capita expenditure for
the United States was only $2.92
for 1915 California ranks third and
Washington seventh, the latter hav-
ing expended ,$5S4 per capita. Of
course, the total sums of money
spent by such thickly settled and
heavily populated states as New York
and California are far in excess of
the $6,S2,O00 spent in Oregon, al
though this state ranks we'll with
such larger states as Massachusetts,
New Jersey, and Washington, and
far ahead of such states as Kansas,
Nebraska and the southern states.
The total amount of money spent
by the states last year was $780,
976,999, with New York's S24,255,-
6S4 first, and Nevada's $3.50, 900 |
last.
One OF the most interesting fea-
lures of the report of the department
is the revelation that more of the
money spent in Oregon goes for act
ual road construction than in any
other state Of the union. Ninety
seven per cent of all expenditures
goes for actual road building.
Another interesting fact shown by
the report is that 21.1 per cent of
all Oregon highways are surfaced. In
this regard Oregon ranks eleventh.
or just below California, of which
21.3 per cent of the roads are sur
faced Rhode Island has 5S.S per
cent of roads surfaced, which four
states, including Nebraska, have less
than one per cent Washington has
only 1928 per cent of her roads sur
faced. New York has only Z per
cent more surfaced roads than Ore
gon. 1t is estimated that there are
36,S16 miles of public rural roads
in Oregon, of which 1880 miles
are surfaced
In 1915 the sum of $3.50 900 of
state funds was expended by or
under the state highway department
for the construction of roads in Ore
gon, while S41S,975 has been spent
by or under the state department
since 1913, when the state aid law
was passed State funds available for
1916 aggregated $4,000.

ATTACK QUESTIONED
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS Puz.
zLIN0 OVER PROBLEM PRE-

Washington, D. c., Oct. 12.-Govern
ment officials today were ponder1ne
the question of whether the United
States shall acknowledge the raid Of
the German war submarine U-53 on
allied shipping of Nantucket last Sun
day as legal. The problem was con
sidered Of great importance.
Much forethought was being given
to potential developments, such as that
German undersea boats might be able
to extend their operations to such an
extent as to effect practically block
ade of American ports, or that the
allied powers might decide to press
harder their claims that entry Of Amer
ican ports be denied all underwater
craft Of belligerents. Resting on de.
termination of this nations attitude
toward the work Of the U-53 is the
matter Of soliciting indemnity for
American cargoes lost with the sunken
ships. Only II the ships were sunk
Illegally may claims be entered.
The navy and state departments
were making efforts to expedite re-
ports on the various phases of the
raid.

men and seventy-nve deputy sheriffs
held possession Of the main police
headquarters.
There were no signs Of cessation

clash yesterday Of police and strikers
