Soda Fountain and Ice Cream Parlors in the Basement Porch Swings, Porch Shades, Window Shades, 3d Floor Furniture Department on the 4th Floor Today members of the state highway-commission will make a per sonal inspection of routes to connect Multnomah county with the Mount Hood loop. The cheapest and short est route will be selected. .While the commissioners gave no intimation of what they will decide, the impression prevails that they may take the road to Sandy from Gresham, avoiding the so-called "bluff road" and thence on to Bright wood. Philip tater. representing the gov ernment, urged the commission to ar range for a mile and a half of con struction work on the Hood River side of the loop, next to the forest reserve, so that slashing can be done this season. ton Pans Route Adopted. On the second day of the commis sion session a number of important matters which have been hanging fire were cleared up. One of these was the adoption of the low pass route for the Eugene-Florence high way, which has been in controversy almost ever since the commission was organized. Commissioners Adams, Booth. Thompson and Kiddle have in turn favored the low-pass route, but Chairman Benson has stood out against them for the high pass. Yes terday, when Commissioner Kiddle voted for the low pass. Commission er Booth moved that the state co operate with Lane county in the project on a 50-50 basis, the county now having funds in bank for this enterprise. Mr. Kiddle seconded the motion. Chairman Benson declared that it was "the greatest outrage that has been perpetrated on the highway commission." He stigmatized it as a "graft" and declared that he sus pected there was a real estate scheme somewhere back of it and that he intends blocking the project if he can. He also charged that the proj ect was illegal. . To this Mr. Booth replied that the road .was designated by the legisla ture. Originally it was named in the law as a postroad, but the decision of Mr. Booth and Mr. Kiddle make it a state and county co-operation. ' Tiller Trail Voted f 15,000. The commission also agreed to co operate with Lane county to the ex tent of $12,500 for straightening out kinks in the McKenzie pass road. The Tiller trail project was voted 115,000. The money will be handled by the forestry service and will con nect & couple of dead ends. The projects will be carried on this year. Being short of funds, the commis sion accepted the proposal of the Jackson county court to build a 16 foot macadam road from Medford to Eagle Point and a 12-foot road from there to Trail, on the way to Crater Jake. The court offered to advance the state's share with the under standing that it be reimbursed. The project cannot be closed until the government consents, and at present the bureau of public roads wants extra wide hurd-surfaced highways. Bonds which Jackson county voted for this work have been invalidated "by a sweeping decision of the su preme court. If the government agrees, work on the Crater lake road can start this year. Ilond Decision Has Effect. Because of the bond decision of the supreme court, the commission can celed its proposal to pay a large part of the cost for a new structure across the Willamette river at Ore gon City. This bond decision has upset plans in many counties, but will not materially affect many projects, as only a few counties were getting in shape to use the bonds af fected by the decision. Walla Walla people who want a short cut from their town to Uma-tilla.-hooking into the Columbia high way at Umatilla, thus avoiding the route into Pendieton. won the com mission to tne point of having a reconnaisance survey ordered. To carry on the rocking-of a new grade between Seaside and the Tilla mook county line, the commission ap propriated $20,000. which matches the sum which the county is putting into the road. This strip of 12 miles w:ll be a section of the coast "loop." . Wasco county has done nothing to ward making a connection from the present county road to the new Des chutes river bridge, and the attor ney-general wa3 aulhorizad to obtain a right of way. The bridge will be ready for travel in a month. Loss May lie Moved. Bottled by the Columbia highway In Columbia county; A. Nordgren logger, will be granted permission to get liN logs across the highway by Personal and Other Property Val ued at $5,500,000 Left by De cedent in Several States. The late Kelson P.

The petitioner was Nelson P. Wheeler Jr., who asked that T. H. Ward, a local attorney, be appointed administrator of the will annexed for Oregon. Mr. Wheeler died at Pasadena.
