Pacific Highway VIII
Miss Turner, Going Over
jackson HILL Route

The state highway commission met
yesterday afternoon in the office of
the state highway engineer and took
up several matters. Among others the
engineer was authorized to purchase a
complete bituminous plant with ca
pacity of 1000 yards daily. At the same
time the matter of the location of the
Pacific Highway between Salem and
Jefferson was taken up and the engin-
eer was instructed to make a resur-
vey of the same with the object of
eliminating the Jackson hill. 1t was
decided to locate the road over what
is known as the Jackson hill route,
but with some changes, if it was foun
they were practical. 1t was finally de-
cided though that the road would not

tention to follow the present route for
three or four miles and then seek u
way around the Jackson hill. If this
is not found practical the route win be
over the hill road straight to Jeffer-
son. However the exact location will
be determined by the survey, which
will be made as soon as possible.

heves Norway's sister Scandinavian
kingdoms can hold the Norwegians in
check.
The Swedish ruling house needs no
inducement from the kaiser to restrain
Norway, because the Swedish patricians
have strong admiration of Prussian
militarism. Denmark, having lost two
provinces to Prussian militarism, would
be naturally on Norway Is side, but the
threat of meeting Belgium IS fate is
held over her.
Norway, therefore, must stand alone
in Scandinavia against the Hohenzol-
lern menace to civilization. II. the
Norwegians decile that national self
respect demands q declaration of war
against Germany, the result would be
very advantageous from the standpoint
Of allies naval operations in the
Baltic.
A naval base in Norwegian waters
might be so used as to clear the Baltic
Of German shipping. This would
bring still greater economic pressure to
bear ON the kaiser Is subjects and would
solve the problems Of Sweden Is trans

man ports.

that the mail service to France has
