made by Secretary Williford, and the
same was placed in the hands of d.
l Z. Dodd, treasurer of the association,
who in due time will sent checks to
the prize winners. In this connection

there are between 300 and 400 checks
to be issued it may be several days
before the treasurer will be able to
complete the job.

fAYGRS WIDER
ROAD AT WOLF CREEK

Judge .. G.. Gillette returned this
morning from trip to Eugene, Sa-
lem and Portland, where he went on
business connected with the ouild-
ing of the Pacific highway.
One of the matters which the
judge had under consideration was
the widening of the road to be con-
structed between Wolf Creek and
Grave Creek, a distance OF about five
miles. and which contract was let to
the Warren Construction company.
Plans for this stretch of highway
call for 12-foot roadway, but Judge
Gillette is of the opinion that 16-
foot road should be constructed for
the reason that a narrow road would
be much easier put out of commits
sion by drivers running their ma
chimes off the edge, especially when
passing other vehicles.
w, L, Thompson, the Eastern Ore
gon member of the highway commits
sion, favors a wider road If the com.
mission can see their way through
financially to make the change, while
$. Benson, who was interviewed by
Judge Gillette in Portland, says he
favors 16-foot road clear through
the state. This. with the crushed
gravel on either side Of the road
would provide a 2o-foot highway.

MUST Be INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
TO BUILD UP u. S. MERCHANT MARINE

Chicago, Apr. 26.-The future de-
velopment of the American mer-
chant marine is at stake and no more
important economic problem has ev-
er presented itself at one time to the
American people, James A. Farrell,
president OF the United States Steel
Corporation today told the delegates
to the National Foreign Trade con-
vention here.
''The ocean-going steel cargo ton
mage now held by our government
aggregates 555 vessels Of 1855, 200
deadweight tons and there are un-
der contract 1896 vessels Of 9,275,-
900 TONS" said Mr.. Farrell. Should
the present program be carried out
to completion there will be under the
American flag next year 16,7S2.000
deadweight tons of shipping Of which
perhaps 100000 tons can be
classed as ocean-going.
in its initial stages the problem
is one Of International cooperation
and stability OF rates rather than OF
international competition. A world,
one of whose most pressing needs Is
ocean transportation, will have to
start the process of social, CONNER
cial and industrial reconstruction
with o merchant marine smaller by
5,000.000 tons OF carrying capacity
than that which 1t possessed at the
outbreak OF the war It will thus
be seen that the world Is still short
Of ships especially those of general
utility suitable for off-shore. trades
and there will still be work FOR ship.
