Enclosed you will ploaso find extracts from tho Minutes of tho Stnto Highway Commission of Ore gon, which aro sclf-oxplanutory.

Jl. 1915, wlion tho funds fof this year woro appropriated, tho largest slnglo allotment was 45,000.00 to Hood River and Wasco Counties, con tingent upon tho lattor voting bonds. Wasco County has not called its elec tion and recent advices I Imvo re ceived aro to tho offect tlmt thoy will not call an election nt a very early dato, becaiiBo of tho inability of tho cltlzons of that County to agree upon tho roads whoro tho mon ey Bhould bo spent. If thoy fall to vote bonds, thoro will bo $45,000 available- for tho Commission to al lot to other sections. Individual mombers of that Hotly told us that if Coos Count) Bhould voto bonds this spring, It was tholr personal feollng that nt loast a part of tho Wasco nllotmont for 191(1 could bu diverted to tho bouoflt of Coos Coun ty. "This Is an opportunity -which wo should not overlook, as prompt ac tion will onablo us, pot only to re ceive tho doflnltoly promised aid for 1917, but to get sumo immediate as slBtanco this year.

NOTED SEATTLE CLUB RAIDED FOR BOOZE Sheriff Hodge's Deputies Find Lnrgo Amount of Liquor Hidden lit Rainier Club Rooms 8EATTLB, Wnsh., Jan. 20. Tho Rainier Club, tho principal club In Soattlo, was raided by Doputy Sher iffs who confiscated 100 quarts of whisky, champagne gin and other Intoxicants. Tho raid wns mndo no dor direction of Shorlff Robert P. n 1 lodge, who obtained n search war rant authorizing his doputlos to en ter every room In tho largo chlb liouso at Fourth uvenuo and Marlon streot. Nnnn ox tho liquor was found In tho old barroom or In tho club's storeroom jn the hasqiuont. Most bt lt wan found In -trunks hidden In a lopUed lfnon cloeoi on tho fourth floor. Tho house' manager sajd that ho had po koy to tho closet and tho officers forced opon tho door, Other seizures woro mndo In mom bora' looms, where moro than tho statutory allowance, of two quarts of spirituous or 12 quarts of malt liquor wus found. Tho proporty of mem bers having less than theso amounts was not disturbed. "Tho Sheriffs offlco recognizes no aristocracy of lawbreakers," said Hob Hodgo, us ho ordered Doputlos Malouo und Rogers to break Into tho Rainier Club.

Phono 73, DISCUSS TAX Ml (Continued from Page Ono ) tho years from 1907 to 1914, which were as follows: Net taxes due ,$,10,681.05 Penalties 3.CG8.43 Interest .. 18,545,35 Total Duo , ... G4,3G5,94 .Receiver Talks Judgo Wattors, who is receiver for tho Kinney property, mndo a statement. Ho told of having tn kon chargo of the proporty and tho impossibility to boII it to pay the taxes. Ho said It was a bad mix and where It would ohd ho could not toll. Ho Bald that If a settle ment was mado he, as receiver, would want tho right of redemption for after tho taxes woro compromis ed thoro might ho a chanco to sell all tho proporty and then there would bo tho amount which was knocked off to bo paid. In tbo course of his remarks he made it clear that in his opinion It was impossible to soil the property now, that It wbb worth u good deal moro when he took It than It was at the present time, If It could havo been sold then. He added that tho tled-up condition of such a largo tract was Injurious to North Rend and tho sooner it could bo sctHod in somo way tho better it would bo for tho city and that It ought to bo cleared up somo way. Ho said that the secured lions amounted to about $475,000 and tho property wns ap praised two years ago at $540,000. From this It was clear that tho Un secured creditors had llttlo show of ovor gottlng anything out of It. Resides tho proporty was eating up about $50,000 a ymr wlillo It was bolng hold. Ho thought that it was to tho best interests of all to havo It cleared up, although this would bo hard on somo, but that It would be probably a numbor of yenrs bo foro, undor tho bost circumstances. tho unsecured creditors could over hopo to get anything out of it, if ut nil. Wnlto Gives Position F. B. Walto personally mado a statement. Ho said tho way In which tho proporty was handled was unfortunato for tho community aim that It was most unfortunate for him when ho got mixed in tho matter, and wished ho was out of It. Mr. Waltc said ho had heard peo ple say on tho streets that his mort gage was fictitious nnd that ho had never put any real money Into It. Ho Bald that when ho had an nbsp luto title to tho proporty ho gavo a soiling agreement to Major Klnnoy. Tlio lattor, after ho had Bold $200, 000 worth of proporty, was to havo half of nil tho rest tlmt ho sold. Tho sales woro managed bo that Klnnoy claimed ho had disposed of $200,000 worth and then ho claimed n part nership with Walto. Mr. Walto said ho know that If Klnnoy formed a partnership with tho Rank of England tho lattor would ha broko within six months nnd to avoid having a partnership with Klnnoy and bolng responsible for hlu, debts, ho took a mortgage and gavo Kinney a deed, selling his Interests fqr $1,50,000 which was n great sacrlflco at that tlmo. Mr. Walto said that tho sottlomcnt was not alono for him. It would bo a help for tho pcoplo of North Bond.

' moro charitable as thoy got oldor nnd ho wantod to boo tho matter settled for tho boucflt of North Bond ns woll as for himself. Feeling of tho Pcoplo Mr. Llljeqvlst snld In tho courso of his remarks that thoro woro nowspapor men present who woro supposed to know tho puIbo of tho pcoplo and that It might bo woll to hear something of how tho pooplo felt about It. In answer to this Edgar McDanlel of North Bond, said that as a nows papor proprlotor ho had hla own way of finding out mnttors and that ho had heard many expressions regarding tho proposed sottlomont nnd that ho had not found ono man In North Bond who favoiod It. Ho Bald tho general feeling was that Mr. Walto should pay ills just taxes tho samo as anyone olse Mr. Mc Daniel said ho did not doubt that It would bo best for ovoryono if tho matter was settled In somo way. but that tho feeling had boon asked for and ho could assure tliat tho pcoplo did not approve of tho plan. Must Settle All When tho matter of a compro mise wns suggested Mr. Llljeqvlst said that ho though tho county had no right to compromise for tho years 1907 to 1911 nnd that It might bo best to compromise for only a part of tho taxes duo and tho County Court would still havo a hold. Mr. Hammond said this would bo Impossible, ns it was nec essary to borrow tho monoy and In ordor to do this tho wholo property must bo frco of li.cumbrancos. Mr. Wnlto In tho courso of his romarks had his round at tho law yers, Ho said that tho proporty must bo quite valuable as tho legal fratorulty of Coos County had boon jiving off of it for a numbor af years. Ho said that In fact ho did not know what the lawyers would do If tho Klnnoy property was set tled, ns thoy would not havo It to live upon, but ho suggestod they could worry through llko tho rost of tho peoplo. About Annovatloii Mr. Hammond hnd brought up In his statomeuts of tho enso tho claim that tho plats woro Illegally filed becauso Klnnoy did not have titlo and right to file tho plats and also questioned tho legality of tho an nexation of a portion of the Klnnoy proporty to North Bond. Attoruoy John Mullen, who was formerly City Attornoy of North Bend, said ho was certain that there could bo no question as to tho le gality of tho annexation and if thoro was tho soonor It was settled ono way or tho other tho hotter for tho city, bo It could not bo hold as a club. Personally ho did not favor tho compromlso of tho taxes on any sucli grounds.
