ing OF the highway commission in
Portland May 27, when bids will
be opened for the grading of the
Mt. Hood loop In Clackamas coun-
ty from the Multnomah county
line to the forest boundary at Zig
Gag. The Improvement covers a
distance Of 24.3 miles and the to-
tai cost Of clearing, drainage.
grading and permanent concrete
bridges will be approximately
$A00,0 ,000. Mecadamizing of this
section which will be undertaken
as soon as the grading is completed
will cost an additional $15O,000
II is estimated.
In order that the smaller con-
tractors may be enabled to bid on
this work the project has been di-
vided into three units, the first
from the Multnomah county line
to Cedar creek, the second from
Cedar creek to Salmon river and
the third from Salmon river to the
forrest boundary. 1t is expected
that the grading on the first two
uaits will be completed this year
and the third unit will be COM
pleted early next summer.
Tentative agreements have been
reached with both Multnomah and
Claclsamas counties whereby the
counties will stand one-half the
cost OF the Improvement, the state
to meet the other half. The award
OF the contracts, however, will be
contingent upon the execution OF
definite agreements with the coun-
ties.
With the completion of this unit
the grading and bridges will be
completed between the Multnomah
county line and government camp
q distance OF 38 miles.
The section between the forest
boundary and government camp, a
distance OF IA miles was begun in
September of 1919 and was com
pleted last year. The total cost
was approximately. $235,OOO,
which was divided equally be-
tween the state and federal gov
ernmont.
The entire Mt. Hood loop forest |
project extends from the forest |
Boundary in Clackamas county |
around Mt. Hood to the forest
boundary in Hood River county, a
distance OF 37.2 miles. The esti-
mated cost OF this entire project Is
t91O,000,-of which the state is
Obliged to pay one-half and the
government, acting through the
forest service, the other one-half.
A start has been made on the
Hood River end, the forest serv-
Ice having awarded a contract for
six miles a few days ago.
Ine uncompieted portion be-
tween Government Camp and the
End OF the Hood River contract is
i7.2 miles which It is proposed to
bring up on the 1922 construction
program.
Considerable interest in the Mt.
Hood loop is being manifested In
Hood River county, where the
county is voting ON a s35O,OOO
bond issue to cooperate with the
highway commission ON the con-
truction OF the road through the
Hood River valley between the for

WORST IS OVER
 CLAIMS WALLACE
Gradual Improvement Is Now Expected Among the
 American Farmers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Freely and frankly discussing the present plight of the American farmer, Secre tary Wallace tells the President in his first annual report that there "seems to be good reasons for believ ing that the worst is over and that we may reasonably hope for gradual improvement from now on." He adds that "a clear recognition of the con ditions as they exist should help us to realize this hope"
 In large part the troubles of the farmer today are due to worldwide conditions and the inevitable result of the World War, the Secretary of Agriculture says. adding that it is not to be expected that by some miraculous transformation" the per iod of diversity may be turned over night into a period of prosperity.
 High freight rates, big crops pro duced in the face of high costs, un employment in other industries in the country with attendant lessening in buying of foodstuffs, and the lack of foreign markets for the farm sur plus are given by the secretary as the more immediate causes for pres ent conditions in agriculture He

WASHINGTON, Dec l5.-Ener- getic pursuit and punishment of the more than 100, ,000 men who evaded the draft during the World War is urgently recommended by Major General Harris.

Attorney General Rustgard of Alaska Presents Case
 of Territory. PROTEST AGAINST JONES MERCHANT MARINE ACT Solicitor General Beck Makes His Reply for the
 Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15- - John Rustgard, Attorney General of the Territory of Alaska, presented in the Supreme Court today Alaska's pro test against the enforcement of the Jones Merchant Marine Act. He de- clared the act was discriminatory against Alaska in favor of Seattle compelling the Territory to conduc. all business with Seattle.
 Attorney General Rustgard point ed out that merchandise shipped from the United States to Alaska by Canadian rail and water lines, was subject to confiscation, while goods proceeding by Canadian lines to Seattle and other ports of the Pa cific Coast States was not penalized
 The Attorney General referred to decisions of the Supreme Court hold ing that Alaska was part of the United States, contending that the commerce clause constitution should have the same force in the Territory as elsewhere.
 MT. Rustgard contended that the provisions of the Jones Act which excepts Alaskan waters from those in which foreign steamship lines may carry freight, which originated in the United States but was routed over a foreign railroad, from the terminal of the railroad to an Amer ican port is in conflict with the con- stitutional provision that Congress must not discriminate among Amer ican ports, but that each port must have equal advantages.
 Solicitor General James M. Beck, replying for the government, said the commerce clause constitution did not apply to Territories.
 In the argument on Alaska's at tack on the provisions of the Jones bill, Beck stated the case presented a Fascinating experience of explor- ing virgin territory and the construc- tion of the Federal constitution" He said the clause of the constitution which provides that mo preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another" had rarely been interpreted for any other purpose and so Tar as he could dis cover never in it's application to the question raised by Alaska.

 General March asserts that now that the war has been won there is grave danger" that the American people will lose sight of "the fortu nate escape from indcscribable ca lamity that ordinarily is the fruit of unpreparedness."
