Mr. McCormick's friends we're as
sured to-day that the gland transplan-
tation had been entirely successful. Il
is said that tho patient discovered for
the first time that the nature Of the
operation had become public. He sent
out for the newspapers. and after
reading some Of the account- gave pos
itive orders that they were not 10 be
discussed by any one in the hospital.
Guards were stationed around the sec
tion Of tho hospital which has been
walled of for him. his surgeon. in
terres and nurses. with instructions %
turn away all but members Of his
family.
II is said that the youth through
whom The operation was made possible
has disappeared. The suggestion was
made that this man had not been IN
tho hospital AZ all. but that an opera
ton was performed on him IN a sur
geon's Office near by. Presumably the
man who made the sale did not know 20
whom he was selling, and he will not
be heard from.
One Intruder Elected
The need Of guards was apparent TO-
day. when Soldier" Briggs. who said
he had escaped from Hines Memorial
Hospital. tried TO force his way into
The section where Nr Mccormick lies.
Briggs said he was the reincarnation
of Max Oser" and a particular friend
of Mr Mccormick. who had empowered
him 10 issue statements 10 the press.
After a brief battle with nurse and
other attendants Briggs was elected
from the building.

Sir Mccormick. and Howard Colby. in

sister. passed the forenoon with him.

so inspired Bill that he forthwith bor-
rowed a quarter and headed north.
But first he called a meeting of the

Mr.. Geo. r. Dickinson, Secretary,
Lincoln County Highway Comm,

Dear SIR
! have for Acknowledgement your
letter of Feb. End which relates to the
rocking Of the balance of the Corval-
lis-Newport Highway.
am pleased to advise you that II
is expected to let the contracts for
rock surfacing of this Highway in
March, so that the contractors will
have ample opportunity to complete
the work in single season.
We have asked the Public Service
Commission for hearing on the pro-
posed overcrossng of the Southern
Pacific near Blodgett and it Is antici.
pated that this viii be held in the
very near future.
We are also negotiating with the
railroad company to shift over their
track near Hayes Creek which will en-
able us to complete the grading OF
about a mile which is not included in
the present contracts. The Commis-
sion are doing everything possible to
have the macadam and grading finish.
ed during the present season so that
noxt winter it will be possible 20 have
an open road between Corvallis and
Newport.
You will be pleased to know that
we are negotiating with the Forest
Service for the construction Of the
Neskowin-Sa River section OF the
Coast Highway. and that we have a
survey party at the present time work
ing from the Salmon River south on
the coast.
l. Is quite possible that we will b.
able to work out an arrangement with
the Forest Service for a continuation
OF the Alsea project from Tidewater
to Waldport, using the county bonds
and an equal amount OF government
funds.
The next meeting of the Highway
Commission will be held in Portland

had the opportunity to meet.
Yours very truly,
