WILL URGE DEFINITE
PLAN FOR PAVING
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE., RE-
JECTING BOND ISSUE, PRO-
POSES ANOTHER POLICY.

"A oPCStAA NOALAASSCo AAOm luS
Chamber Of Commerce is scheduled
to confer with the county commits
sioners next Monday and urge that
body to adopt definite plan to spend
as much of the general road and
bridge fund raised by taxation every
year on permanent pavement of the
main highways of the county as the
board feels can be cct aside for the
purpose.
The committee will urge that the
first expenditure under this policy
be made for the completion of the re-
naming unpaved portion on the
eastern end of the Pacific highway
between Olympia and Tacoma, in this
county, a stretch of about six miles
1t will urge that thic be done at the
rate of three or four miles a year. SO
that in couple of years the road be.
tween Olympia and Tacoma will be
completely paved.
Get Federal Funds.
In this connection the committee
will urge the commissioners to ap.
ply for a share of the federal post.
road funds for 1919, the time for ap.
plication for the 1918 apportion-
mentu having passed. 1t was from
these funds that half the cost Of the
paving done this year on the Pacific
highway in this county was paid.
Proposal of the adoption of such q
policy followed decision made by
the trustees of the Chamber of Com
merce during the past week, oppos.
ing the issuance at this time of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars in
bonds by the county for tho pave
ment of it's main highways on a
wholesale scale. The plan had pre-
viously been approved by the city
council and the county commission
ers were said to be willing to call a
special election to pass upon the
bond issue.
Inadvisable During War.
The proposal was under consider.
alton for several weeks by the Cham
ber of Commerce, and special COM
mittees compiled much information
and data on the subject But after
the results of the investigation had
been placed before them. the trus.
tees, while favoring the general plan
and believing 1t should be carried
out when conditions become normal
again, decided that it would be un-
patriotic and inadvisable to inaugu-
rate such movement during the
war, believing the credit of the coun-
ty should be conserved to meet the
governments needs.
In connection with the revised
plan, It is suggested that the city
should proceed on it's own account
with the construction of the much
discussed new bridge across the Des
Chutes river on West Fourth street
and let the county use for the de-
sired paving the $4,000 1t had
pledged to pay toward the cost of the
bridge.

For many years physicians have agreed

waste without assistance, no matter how

Recently, however the startling news
which has been covering this country that
great surgeons and specialists have been
operating on the Lower Intestines for the

caused Americans to become thoroughly
awake to the Importance of keeping this
Lower Intestine free from all poisonous

of shipping along the travelled sea
lanes was reported by officers of the
White Star line steamship Cedric,
which arrived here from Liverpool
and the northumberland line
steamship Frederik VIII from Copen-

ed that the seas were apparently de-
serted.
From the Cedric not Single ship
of any kind was seen between Liver
pool and this port, the officers said.
and from the Frederik VIII the only
vessel sighted after leaving Kirkwall
was a sailing ship one day out from
New York.
In her voyage from Copenhagen the
Frederik VIII, which had 1877 passen
gers aboard, had more than her share
of North Atlantic winter weather.
After leaving Copenhagen she ran into
storms so violent that she was forced
Ito run into Christiania, where she was
neld up for three days before the
weather cleared sufficiently for her To
resume her voyage safely. At Kirk

Milton Erickson Back to U. S. After
Exciting Journey.

Milton Erickson of Topeka, son of
Charles Erickson and brother of
DIR. o. L. Erickson of this city, has
returned to the United States after a
three months journey in the Balkan
states and along the Mediterranean.
He arrived at Newport News Sunday
according to a telegram received by
his father, who is linotype machinist
for the State Journal.
Milton Erickson left Topeka No
vember % and has been travelling
since that time. Some concern was
felt for him by his relatives here

some time. They received only two
letters from him during the entire
trip. One letter, mailed from Saloniki.
Greece, on Christmas day, just reach

VIII Not Consider Amendment
pleasures Until Thursday.
ENDORSE THE CRISIS move
Concurrent Resolution Passed
Backing Up Wilson Today.
Movie Measure Would Take
Away Job of Carrie Simpson.

House members will not be hasty IN
taking up proposed constitutional
amendments. Because several pro-
posed amendments have not been
printed, the house today passed the
buck to the senate and decided not to
consider constitutional measures I'M
til Thursday morning. The measures
are to be reported in the senate Tues
dav and house members will not argue
if the upper house wants to give the
measures first consideration.
Under a motion by Mack, of Har-
vev county constitutional measures
had been made a special order Tor to-
day. But a proposed tax amendment
found its way to the reading desk to-
day and Birds proposal for munlclpal
home rule has not found place on
the calendar. So the house checked
the matter up to the senate, by voting
to .sidetrack the special order until
Thursday morning.
Eight proposed constitutional meas
ures will be placed on the calendar
Thursday. Under the present constl-
tuition, it will be impossible to submit
mo&-e than three amendments. If the
senate would only elect as to the three
measures it desired to submit, the
course in the house would be easy.
First action, tho, is not desired by
either house and the three days delay
in the house gives the senate an eX-
