Gaps In Highway
Are Under Spade

Gradually the unimproved gaps
In the Pacific highway are being
closed up, and it is expected that
by next winter there will be ct
least 80 miles more pavement and
less macadam on this through
road, a statement issued by the
state highway department this
morning stated.
The old county grade over Sex
ton mountain, sometimes called
Smith hill, has been abandoned
and traffic has been diverted to
the new state highway grade on
which the maeadam has just been
completed. This rs the stretch OF
road which received considerable
unfayorable comment from last
winters tourists.
In less than a month the grad
ing on the CanyonviIie cutoff be-
tween Canyonville and Myrtle
Creek will be completed and al
ready the macadamizing of this
section has been started. This will
mark the completion OF the last
unimproved gap on the Pacific
highway between the California
line and Portland. This road was
tied up in litigation for more than
a year due to the efforts OF the
citizens OF Riddle to force the To-
cation Of the Pacific highway
through Riddle.
The last gap in the paving in
the Siskiyou mountains is now
completed and with the exception
OF a short stretch al Gold Hill
which will be completed in less
than 80 days, pavement is now
complete between the California
line and Grants Pass.

f, canton. June 17.-An inter

mort Of Wuchow, on the west
r;ver Cantonese troops also are
heing concentrated at Yamchow

in that district that military oper-
atoms are expected to develop.
The Cantonese have always con-

the Kwangsi and still do so.

General Chen Pin-Chun, form
er military governor of Kwang-
tung, together with many other
former Kwangtung officials, Can
tonese and non-Cantonese are sup
porting the movement against DR..
Sun Vat Sen and the Kuomfng-
tang military party with funds,
and in an effort to arouse brig
andage in Kwangtung, so as to
regain military and political pow
er in that province.
Sun Vat Sen, reiterating his
plans to convert China into a real
republic, is trying to make q
model province out of Kwangtung
and model city, with a commits
sion form of government, out of
Canton. DR.. Sun and his followers
believe that they cannot expand
politically without removing the
most immediate obstacle, Kwangsi
militarism under General Lu
Yung Ting, hence the invasion of
Kwangsi.
Support Is Lacking
Failure of the present under
taking is generally regarded as
assuring desertion of DR.. Sun by
Yunman, Kweicho and other
provinces which have 'given half
hearted support hitherto.

Streets View Event

Between 1000 and 5000 people
are at the fair grounds today at
tending the Marion county Sunday
school picnic, according to the es-
Inmates of those in charge. The
day began with a parade this
morning stretching nearly three
miles in length, made up of 20l
machines by actual count, besides
q number of ponies and about zoe
people marching in various forma-
tions.
The Bungalow Christian church
Of this city, of which Rev. r. l.
Putnam is pastor, will hold the
Christian flag of the county asso-
citation for the coming year as the
first prize award for the best rep
resentation and display in the pa
rade.
1T is a great success" said Fred
De Vries, president of the Marion
County Sunday School association
as he watched the crowds pour in
to the stadium this afternoon for
the program of the day. Many
more were in attendance than was
earlier anticipated by those in
charge of the picnic, and with the
showing made today it is certain
that the county picnic win D'
made an annual affair.
Parade Starts at 1890.
Beginning about 1890 the pa
rade which had formed In the vi
cinity of Marion Square moved
south to State street and thence
out towards the state capitol. For
over 40 minutes gay floats covered
with flowers and children, sing
ing or waving flags, rolled around
the corner of State and CONNER
cial streets in solid stream before
the final auto load passed.
Leading the parade was Mayor
George Halvorsen and official
judges. Those who were asked to
render the decision were Governor
Ben w. Olcott, State Treasurer o..
p. Hoff and Attorney General l..
H. Van Wrinkle.
Judge Jacob Kanzler, justice of
the court Of domestic relations in
Portland, delivered the address Of
the day, in which he blamed the
broken home for the cause of near
ly rs per cent of the delinquency
of children which appear in the
domestic courts of the country, Of
which his is a fair example.
Kanzer Denounces Divorce Laws
Judge Kanzer was bitter in his
denunciation of the divorce laws
of the various states which make
possible the existence OF so many
broken homes. Sixty per cent of
the broken homes that have come
under his observation are Stvorce
cases, he said, in reviewing his
experiences for the past months
in Portland.
But the problem is a national
one, he said. The problem of easy
divorce and easy marriage will
never be solved until there are
uniform laws over the country.
TThe most valuable thing from
any consideration are the chill
dren," said the Judge. Why, he
pleaded, should people drive them
selves in distraction over the af-
fairs Of business IL they are going
to neglect the future race.
