HIGHWAY COMMISSION
TO COMPLETE ROAD
Three Rivers Road In Tilla-
nook VIII Be Built By
Force Account.

AT meeting of the state highway
commission, held in Portland yesterday
the commission decided to do the work
by force account on what is known as
the Three Rivers road in Tillamook
county This is forest road project
about 10 miles long, and the estimated
cost is $4,000. The work is grading
and graveling and it is estimated it
will take 10 months.
The commission authorized the ex.
penditure of $4,000 in Wheeler and
Gillian counties for maintenance of
the roads.
A delegation from Coos county APP
peared before the commission request
ing the commission to provide funds
for matchmaking section of the road
between Marshfield and Coquille. The
commission appropriated 100000 for
the purpose on condition that the ap-
proval of the United States highways
council can be obtained. As a spruce
logging camp is located on the road,
the improvement is being urged as a
war necessity.
Since the U. s. highway council has
turned down tile Overhead 1ossing
which was to have been constructed at
Divide, the Lane county court has pc
titioned the public service commission
for permit to construct crossing
over the S. P. tracks at grade. 1t is
understood the highway commission
will oppose this.
The commission approved a propos-
ed post road project between Burns
and Crane, in Harvey county, to cost
approximately 100000, and the COM
mission will seek the approval of the
U. s. highways council. If the road is
built the state will pay $4,000 the
government $4,000 and the county
$4,000.

Republicans After
LaFollette's S ScaIp

Republican headquarters, represent
ing the republican party in Marion
county, is out after the scalp of Alex
La Toilette. According to the republi
can way of looking at it, Mr.. La Fol.
lette has committed the objectionable
sin of pledging himself at the republi.
can primaries that he would abide by
the decision of the primary election,
and then after he had been defeated
boiling the party nomination.
And not only did he bolt his own par
ty, but he has committed another
breach of political etiquette by ac-
cepting the nomination on the demo
cratic ticket and coming out as a dem
ocrat. And all this after having been,
ever since the time Of Abraham Lin
coin, genuine dyed-in-the-wool re-
publican.
1t will be remembered that the con-
test for the nomination on the repub.
lican ticket for senator from Marion
county to the state legisistvre was
closely contested between Louis Lach-
mund, W. AL Jones, Alex La Toilette
and Sam Brown of Gervais. All had
agreed to stand by the result Of the
primaries. When the counting was over
it was found that Mr.. La Toilette had
been defeated by 80 votes by Mr.. Lach-
mund and by 80 votes by W. Al Jones,
Mr.. La Toilette and Mr.. Brown were
defeated. Mr.. Brown still stands by the
republican party and accepted his de-
feat in the best of spirit. Mr.. La Fol-
lette bolted and is now to all extent
and purposes, playing for the demo
cratic vote. Hence republican head
quarters in Salem is out after his po-
litieal scalp.

1t is probable that the requirement
for becoming associated with the stu
dents army training corps of William.
cite university may be lowered altho
the instructions received today are
rather indefinite.
AT the several cantonments, the gov
ernment has a number of soldiers who
would like to take additional college
training but who have not graduated
from high school. It is possible that
many of these men will be sent to the
different universities in the northwest
While member of the s. A. T. G.
might be admitted to the universities
without the usual high school credits,
this would apply to only those who
have been inducted into the service.

sity totaled 273 with new students
coming in each day.
