THE MORNIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1911. EAST SIOE ROUTE PICKED BY BOARD Capital Highway Commission Gives List of Towns Reached by Road. MATERIALS TO BE RUSHED Machinery to Be Assembled During Winter Months and Construction Begins Early in Spring. Tax Levies Promised. SALEM. Or, Sept. 10. (Special.) George F. Rodgers, Marion County member of the Portland-Salem capital highway commission, appointed by Governor West, announced today that the route for the east side highway has been definitely settled upon, and that materials will be assembled during the Winter, so that work on the road will be prosecuted vigorously in the Spring. In a general way. the road will go through Oregon City, Canby, New Era and Barlow country, and through Au rora, Brooks. Gervais and Woodburn. to Salem. The road will follow the old stage route. This announcement comes following a long, but hotly-waged, campaign through the various cities and road districts which are interested. The commission will also make rec ommendation to the Governor that con victs be used on the work on the Rex- Tigardville section of road which is being constructed on the west side. The appropriation by the Marlon Coun ty Court of half the cost of a bridge across the Willamette at Newberg is another impetus toward road-building between Portland and Salem. "Every road district affected by the proposed road has given a promise to mane a tax levy for the construction work, and with these promises besides the offer of voluntary subscriptions. the road will surely go through next bummer," said Mr. Rodgers tonight.

This Institu tion has offered a reward of 1500 for the capture of the two men. This afternoon Officer McMuilan, who ef fected the first identification, arrested a miner at the Standard, who Is going by the name of Charles Davis, who tal lies closely with the description of Green's partner. Davis stoutly denies his connection with the crime. Explaining their forgery. Green said that they wanted the money to come West and thought they could make a getaway. and ought not to be passed by any law-making body, was asserted by Elder W. F. Martin in an address at the Central Seventh-Day Adventiat Church last night. He referred briefly to the World's Christian Citizenship Conference, which is to be held in Port land in June and July. 1913, by toe National Reform Association. Mr. Mar tin said: , "This association has as one of Its avowed principles the securing of 'such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States as will declare the Nation's allegiance to Jesus Christ, and Its acceptance of the moral laws of the Christian religion, and to indicate that this is a Christian Nation, "and place all the Christian laws. Institutions and usages of our Government on an unde niable legal basis in the fundamental law of the land." " -The preacher said that nearly every state of the Union has already enact ed Sunday laws, and that repeated ef forts have been made to compel Con gress to commit Itself on this question. "bhould this state of affairs be brought about . in America." he con tinued, "It would mean the destruction of the great principles of civil and re ligious liberty for which Jefferson and Madison fought so vigorously In the formation of the Nation. "The National Reform Association argues that the reason why it should have this amendment . to the United States Constitution is that it may ap peal to It as a basis for Sunday legis lation.
