This will be the first extensive piece of work done under force account un der the new Commission. Under the bonding law passed by the people at last month's election the Commission is empowered to build any or all the road it undertakes to build by force account instead of under contract if the contractors' offers are unsatisfac tory. These four jobs will be the principal paving projects attempted by the Com mission this year. The law limits the expenditures from the sale of highway bonds to $1,000,000 this year. Other work contemplated this year includes paving in various parts of the state. Bids for this work will be opened in the office of the Commission On Monday, July 30. Lower River Road to Be Graded. One of the principal projects contem plated in this programme is the grad ing of the lower Columbia River High way betwen Astoria and Ooblo and the construction of a series of bridges on this road. This project will elimi nate the excessive grades on the high hill just back of Rainier and will eliminate some of the troublesome curves on other parts of the route. Most of the road was graded by the people of Columbia County three years ago. As soon as the state finishes its grading work the entire stretch will be ready for paving. It is prob able that some paving will be . done there next year. The road now is paved to the Multnomah-Columbia County line and contracts awarded Friday pro vide for paving about 14 miles east of Astoria. The Columbia River Highway, be tween Cascade Locks and Hood River, likewise is to be graded under con tracts to be let next week, and a stretch of 40 miles on the Pacific Highway in Douglas and Josephine counties is to be graded. The Douglas County project will be done jointly with the people of that county, as they have voted $200,000 in bonds for this purpose. An additional $105,000 is to be ex pended by the commission this year on the Crater Lake .road in Jackson a,nd Klamath counties. Most of this work will be done in co-operation with the Federal (iovernment. OFFICERS ARE INSTALLED Omega Lodge, I. O. O. 1, Holds Knjojable Meeting in Orient Hall. Omega Lodge, No. 67, I. O. O.

The liquid delicacies were distributed during the forenoon and proved a wel come variation from the customary filtered water with its slightly salty taste. Gift wine, however. .was not the only wine drunk by the men who. their pockets filled with the money froir yesterday's pay-day, soon exhausted the 'normal wine supply of the nearby city except for champagne, which was cheat and plentiful. The greatest need of the American soldiers appears to be reading matter. Magazines, newspapers and books are not obtainable here. A movement is under way to interest Americans in l-'aris in sending old magazines and books to the camp. The representatives of the Y. M. C.
