G TTTP MORNING OREGONTAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1920 MOUNT HOOD LOOP ROUTES INSPECTED County and State Highway Commissioners on Trip. CHOICE IS NEXT MOVE Question of Whether to Use North or South Route Will Be -Threshed Out by Body. Inspection of 'both the proposed routes for the Mount Hood loop road by county commissioners and mem bers of the state highway commission was completed late yesterday and the joint body will settle down to thresh ing out the question as to whether the north or south route will be the one completed. The southern route, which is fa vored by Clackamas county residents, has seemed most favored by the Mult nomah county commissioners. Mem bers of the party last 'night declined to give their opinions, but the trip had been planned in order that the district through which the north, or Bull Run route, would pass, might receive fair showing. Trip Takes Two Days. Tired but enthusiastic over the pro posed road, the party arrived in Port land late last night from Hood River after a two-day trip by automobile and on horseback over the proposed routes. State Highway Commissioners Booth and Kiddle and County Commissioners Holman, Muck and Hoyt, and District Attorney Evans and George W. Jo seph were members of the investiga tion committee, which left Portland Monday morning. At Hood River they were Joined by Leslie Butler and State Senator J. R- Nickelsen. The party went by automobile from Hood River to Mount Hood lodge, where they passed the night. Yes terday morning the party traveled on horseback from Mount Hood lodge to Government camp over the ranger trail through the Cascade national forest, returning via Hood River by automobile. Individually the members of the committee expressed themselves as favorable toward the project in gen eral, although in the progress of the trip the party was split up, and prior to their arrival in Portland last night had been unable to compare notes on their impressions. Holman Enthusiastic Over Road. Commissioner Holman, who has al ways been in favor of the route through Sandy in Clackamas county, was enthusiastic over the possibilities of the road. "The Mount Hood loop road, as we wejit over It, would undoubtedly be of immense value to the interior country beyond the Cascades," de clared Holman. "Beyond Summit the road, as scheduled, will branch, one. leading into the Interior, which will cut off at least 80 miles from the Bend to Portland road, while the left branch will return by way of the Hood river valley after completing the loop around Mount Hood. Aside from the Immense value to that inte rior country, in my opinion, the Co lumbia highway will not be completed without this addition. "On the slopes of Mount Hood the proposed road will go through some of the finest scenery in the Cascades, as immense forests and natural mea dows will border the road. We will be able to capitalixe Mount Hood as Mount Rainier has been capitalized." Stat Highway Commissioner Kiddle was favorably impressed by the trip over the ranger trail to Government camp, and was of the opinion that the route in that district was feasible and would make a wonderful scenic at traction, albeit an expensive one. The committee is scheduled to make & decision on the question on Au gust 24. tion again after they were just about to become self-supporting. "The child question is a problem of cattle and goats. Children can't thrive without milk. We have been shipping cattle there and th'e Polish I government distributed them. They were making rapid progress in rais ing goats. The bolshevik! have eaten up their own cattle and now will seize the livestock of that area in Po land they have invaded. That puts the whole child life of the country In jeopardy. "Bolshevism, or communism, . or whatever you choose to call it, as a social panacea has collapsed already, because with no form of socialism can production by the people be main tained. In Russia the bolshevikl have gone back to capitalism. They have established property rights, rights to land, & differential wage and savings banks. Work Done by Charity. - "The relief of children in Europe has been accomplished since August 1, 1918, without financial help being extended by the United States gov ernment. It has been the support given by benevolence, that and by various devices to which we have re sorted to keep the work going. Dur ing that time we have withdrawn the assistance from Slavonia, Esthonia, Finland, Hungary and parts of Cze-cho-Slovakia and the others of the Balkan states. "We fed up to August 1, 1920, a total of 3,500.000 children. We have now reduced this number to 1,750.000, and but for the turn of affairs In Poland the demand upon our relief work would have been very much more re duced than it now promises to be. "In the year after the armistice the government gave a credit of J2.000, 000,000. During the year ended Au gust 1,' 1919, the credits were cut to about $150,000,000, which included the sale of a lot of army stores of the United States that were in Europe. But for the Polish situation, A. think that private aid for this year would not have exceeded $30,000,000. This Is a criterion of Improved conditions."

"Paderewski and the group that constituted his ministry were opposed to the onslaught on Russia. It was the military party that Insisted upon making the attempt to extend beyond the ethnological boundaries of Po land. If we had had the league of nations and some unity of action of the great powers I d-o not believe that Poland would ever have made that blunder, mo unity of advice was given. I don't know whether our gov ernment gave any advice at all. know that I personally advised against it. and that England did. As to what France did. I have no posi tive knowledge. Interest Seen in Poland. "We certainly have some interest. as far away as Poland is. We are in terested in the commercial aspects of the developments that are taking place, but we are also concerned through the military danger of a mil ltarlzed Poland against a militarized Germany. We have Just finished one war against militarism and we do not want another witti bolshevized nations joined. "The military party of Poland al ways contended that the bolshevik! of Russia were joining with Germany for a fight on them and that they were obliged to strike first. We want to deal Justly with them and tha was their belief, but I have never agreed with the opinion. "I have always contended that military invasion of Russia by anyone was a mistake, from the sending of troops to the relief of Kolchak, send lng troops to Archangel and all th way around: it has only served to bolster up the strength of the bol shevik government by bringing to it eirpport the ex-soldiers and their of ficers, who responded to the call when they thought it was for de fense of their, country. Poles Declared Hardest Hit. "I have never believed that we or anyone else should have interfered in Russia. It is one of those fer ments that will work itself out event ually. if let alone. "The Poles nave suffered more from war than any other people. Be tween three and five million peopl have died as a result of war. Our government and people have spen about $225,000,000 to help the. Polish people to get on their feet. At th present time. I am directing the work of feeding 1.200,000 children. Of thi numher about 700.000 are in the area now overrun by the bolshevikl. "We had - expected that with th harvest that is now being gathere ir Poland the country would become self-sustaining. But the bolshevikl, even though peace is made with Po land, will undoubtedly help them selves to the products of the harvests In that area and It will in a large measure put off the time when th country can feed itself another year.

Politics Is Tuboo. Mr. Hoover declined to say any thing regarding the political situa tion and "confined his conversation with newspaper reporters to a lauda tion of Salem and Oregon. "I have not been In Salem for nearly 80 years," declared Mr. Hoover, "and I want to say that the city has Improved wonderfully since that time. When I left Salem there was no pave- ent, and It does me good to see the saloons have gone, and in their places eve been established legitimate uslness. "I will always consider Salem as y boyhood home, and I well remem ber when I was employed as driver the local street car line. That was In the late 80s, and the cars ere drawn by horses Instead of be ing electrified as today." During his stay here Mr. Hoover visited the site of the old Oregon Land company on Commercial street. here he was employed as office boy during a part of his residence in Salem. Hoover Seeks Recreation. Mr. Hoover made it plain to news paper reporters that he was in search f recreation, and he refused point- blank to discuss the political outlook or other topics of a serious nature. Mrs. Hoover registered for the fam ily as "Mr. and Mrs. H.

Okl, Japanese furniture dealer and dTiver of the Ford truck alleged to have struck and killed 3-year-old Roy McElhaney on Harrison street near the park Dlocks Monday, was bound over to the grand Jury last night following a coroner's inquest. The Jury found that death was due to the driver's carelessness and ex pressed themselves of the opinion that the accident could have been avoided "had Okl used care and stopped his automobile, as he saw the child at least 60 feet before the impact." He was also held responsi ble, due to driving with defective brakes. Witnesses called were C. E. Crowe, who was riding with Okl; Rebecca Braumbach, Harry Jackson, Iva Mor rison. W. T. Clink, T. C. Freiberg, po lice sergeant, George Henry and the defendant. Testimony disagreed, wit nesses saying that the machine ran several lengths before stopping after the impact, while Oki maintained he stopped twice. Crowe testified that the furniture dealer did not put on the brakes un til he struck the child, and that both wheels went over the boy, who was found lying on his face, unconscious. Frieberg said Investigation showed the brakes were defective and that the machine ran- 75 feet when they were applied on a 20-mile test. Henry said: he had taken the automobile out today and could stop It on a shorter distance. - Oki admitted he had eeen the boy in the street when three-quarters of a block distant, but said" the boy was going south at the time and suddenly turned north when the automobile was opposite him, thus colliding with the machine. The. machine was being driven at not more than 15 miles an hour; Oki maintained less. GRAPPLERS DIVIDE BOUTS Light Classes Are Lost, but Heavies Fare Better. ANTWERP, Aug. 17.

Rare motion pictures of elk and moosa in their natural haunts in the woods and swamps tot Yellowstone national park were obtained by W. L. Finley, who hae Just returned from a trip through tjjat section. He spnt several weeks on a tour investigating game conditions for the National As sociation of Audubon Societies, in conjunction with the park service, and has come to the conclusion that it would be decidedly unwise to carry out proposed plans for damming: up a stream and flooding- the country, now the sumer ranee for these animals. "There has been much talk of this project," he said last night, "but, much as It may mean to settlers, we must preserve such wonderful natural playgronds. This is one of the few spots where moose are found." Mr. Finley, accompanied by his fam ily, drove in by way of Spokane and out by way of Jackson Hole. He fol lowed the lakes through Tellowstone park, also visited headwaters of var ious streams. At one place he ob tained 1000 feet of elk film and 1000 feet on moose. He-spent sevn days at two spots, where he camped behind a blind waiting for the animals to pass. Going into their swamps proved unsuccessful, as the wild creatures are extremely shy. "Next to the last day we had our best luck," he said.
