sections, such as on the Silver Lake.
On the Roseburg-Coos Bay road

miles. and the worst part of this

that Douglas and Coos counties be

SHORTAGE IN FUNDS TO DELAY SOME
HIGHWAY WORK FOR SEVERAL YEARS

Salem. Aug. S.-By spreading the
cooperative projects over period
of years, instead OF finishing them
up In the next two years, as had been
hoped. the state highway commits
sion decided Thursday, in consulta-
tion with Mr.. Cecil, government rep
resentative, that money will be
available to carry out the original
program. 1t was calculated that
enough resources will be available
for the state to hold up its end. and
there is hope that congress will make
new appropriations to take care OF
the government end.
Revision of estimates disclosed
that more money is needed on all
projects than was first supposed. C.
II. Purcell explained to the commits
sioners that estimates had been
guesses, and that only recently had
the surveys been completed and offi-
cial estimates made. For instance.
he explained, because originally sug-
gested that the Mount Hood loop
could be built for $4,000. whereas
when the government completed the
survey and estimates recently 1t dis
closed that 1t will cost 5000, 900. 1t
will be 1922 before this loop is fin
ished. The entire cooperative pro.
gram will require longer period
than anticipated to allow &ime for
revenues to come in.
To expedite sections on coopera.
tive work, Commissioner Booth
moved that the klamath Falls Dairy
section be put up as a project as soor
as possible, and that the same action
be taken with the klamath Falls
Olene section, and the Lakeview
north section, which will extend

Enough to Attack Us

San Diego, Cal. Aug. S.--Admiral
Hugh Rodman, commander Of the
Pacific fleet, in an address last night
at banquet rendered Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels at the Hotel del
Coronado, gave an intimate sketch
of the new Pacific fleet and some OF
the reasons that led to its being
brought to the west coast. Admiral
Rodman said:
TO one who is unaccustomed to
making addresses in public, am
afraid that You have given me rath-
er large proposition in the discus

myself to giving you a brief descrip-
tion Of it, and some Of the salient
reasons for sending such a powerful
fleet to this. coast
Two years ago when we entered
the war, we had a strong competi-
tion as to who had the second larg-
est navy. Great Britain, of course,
taking the first place.
We'll, that competitor has been

Chicago. Aug. s.. The general
strike OF $4,000 employees OF the
packing plants here has begun. The
stockyards labor council called a
walk-out because state troops and
police guards have not been with
drawn from the plants when 5000
negroes returned to work.
Labor leaders say the dispute is
over the employment OF non-union
negroes, rather than race hatred.
They say many negroes have refused
to join the union and labor leaders
are taking advantage of the presem
situation to compel the packers to
employ union labor.

Man Eaters" begin their scourge Of

persons as means Of gaining his food.
The success with which the man eat
ers have been able to secure human
flesh has led them to throw of the
old instinct of terror of man.
lncursions Of man eaters In India
often die down for ten or fifteen years,
says Drevy. and then some commun-

number of its members have disap-

animal. In one district of the CEN

In As days. The beast was finally kill

In another section 12 villages were
the scene of invasions for more than
three months. Finally, more than g.

eater, but without result. The animal,
on one of its incursions. bounded over
a garden fence and impaled itself on
q stake.
In India few animals under fifteen
years Of age have been known to at
tack persons. 1t is generally after
that age that they begin their attacks
