At the time the legislature made provisions for a State lligliway comntission, an act was passed and approved, providing that the (gover nor, the Secretary of State and the State Treasurer should constitute the commission. The State Highway Kngineer was Jjrdered to prepare a map showing all the main highways to be designated as state highways, one of the provisions being: "Such roads shall In all cases lend Into or towards tho chief market centers of the Btate, and shall con nect with, so Tar as is possible the principal county roads of the state.' L.ater the legislature created a highway commission of three mem bers providing their appointment by the Rovernor. At the same time an act was approved providing that all rights-of-way must be acquired by the county. !The plaintiff. Mr. Itockh-ill, who is acting fur the city (of Kiddle, claims that the legislature desig nated the Pacific highway as one oi the thoroughfares to be -improved, and that subsequently it was sur veyed and the route laid out thru Myrtle Creek, Riddle and Canyon ville.

Age ut a of living in Ca hoots with Bootlegers J. H. Hegal, general baggage n gent for the O. W. It. & N. and S. P. lines -in Oregon, is a frequent visitor in this city and is well known by the railroad officials. Mr. Kegal In addition to -carrying on the baggage department was also route agent for the troop trains and ah transportation orders passed thru tr.s office. Ho recently visited North Bend, that being his first trip away from his office since the wilt ended. Iry Squad .Make Trouble. Tho Portland dry squad gave us more trouble thai one might ex pect from an organization of this kind" Mr. Regal said in discussing the difficulties of handling baggage suspected of containing liquor. "These officials went so far as to accuse our agents and men employ ed on the baggage cars ot being In sympathy with boot-leggers" he said. "The officers would tear open trunks, disarrange tho con tents and abuse every privilege, of ten to find nothing at all in the shape of liquor. When niydepurt mout re! used to hold baggage sus pected because of lack of proper search warrants, our men wero a- bused and accused, to the extent that life was becoming miserable. We informed all officials courtes- ously that, when proper search war rants wero produced specifically de scribing any piece of baggage and giving the check number, that piece would be promptly turned over to them, but tio submit to Indiscrimi nate ransacking of all trunks with out this authority could not he xpected nor would It be permitted. I jaw Is Very Plain. Mr. Regal says the iuw protects the passenger, and that no official can either hold or search a grip or trunk without a search warrant specifically descriMng that piece ol baggage. His agents will refuse to hold any niece of baggage not so described, and the orders are to turn over to t li e pa rt y p resen ting ho duplicate check without .dolay. Grips In possession of passengers Uso come under this ruie. Mr. Ilegal suggests for the gen eral Information of the travenng public that nil pieces of baggage be properly marked so that Identifica tion is possible. "Do not check d trunk unless it Is locKea, propen itrnmted or roned. and the name oi the owner "Is painted on It" is the idice he offers. Mr. Itciral has been Investigating the reported searching of trunks by officials and if it can be proven the searching was done without tiie pro- ner warrant, stens will be taken to prosecute the offenders. Although no official message has been received announcing the exact time the airplanes now assigned to forest patrol duty are to be moved to Lugene, It 'is believed 1 hat t he chaime of base will lake place Sat urday If present plans are carried out. However, a strong etfort will lie made to keep the planes here and it Is possible thai sufficient in fluence can be hrouL'ht to bear to continue under present arranpen.ent t b'iist for the remainder f the season. I he I ores try oeMnrtnicnt intl aviators have received no mes sage telling the exact date of th contemplated change, hut it- is cer tain that the move is planned as Major Smith has t el nura plied from Mather Pleld Instructing the rivers to refrain from erecting hangars for tho time being.

"The American Legion is 100 per rent American, " is the way In which W. H. Follett. vice-chairman of the state committee of the ex-sorvice meu'-B organization makes his appeal for tho support of tho legion. Mr. Kollett spent yesterday in this cltv conferring with Attorney Carl Wim berly. local cha-irman, In regmd to matters pertaining principally to the arfalrs of the local county chapter. "Our claim of its being puroiy Antericnii has led a few to make the mistake of believing that it s a mili tary organization and that tho mem bers wll bo required to continue as a part of the country h military de fense. Some ex-soldiers say they have had enough of 'Squads Kast anil Wsef and that they will not afriH ate with anything that Is connected with the army, navy or marine corps. That Is where hey are mistaken in regard to the legion. Our organiza tion Is a lodgt. for soldiers; right now we are caring for 295 men In Portland hospitals. Wo are placing hundreds In employment.

Wit h civilian em ploy men t concerns wo have found that Incompetent men are often given responsible po sitions for which they are not fitted. This Is one of the tilings the Legion is endeavoring to avoid. Kvery man seeking employment is put under certain classification heads and we then find him a position he can fill well. Kor Instance. your local chapter needs u cert:. in number of men for certain work. It Is a job that requires slcilled labor and al though you may h;.ve plenty of Idle men seeking work, yet you cannot place them where there Is a shortage of labor. A statement to the State Headquarters will bring the skilled men, while your idle men Jf report ed to tho State olfleo may be placed where they can competently fill the positions to wlrich thev are as signed. We are branching out al ong many lines and there Ih no limit to our scape. Itunlc Docn Not Count. "One of the features of our or ganization is the democratic spirit. I was fortunale enough to be a dele gate eo the National Convention nt St. Louis. There buck privates, maj ors, colonels nnd brigadier general? ntin gin on com m on footing. I saw two admirals, a brigadier general nid a lieutenant commander packing yob" nn their shoulders, boosting his election as third vice-president to represent their district. That is the spirit of the whole thing a spirit of comradeship. "One of the greatest sights of the convention was the demonstration which lasted for an hour and a quar ter in an effort to bre.ilr down Teddv Roosevelt, and force him to accept the National Chairnanshlp. Thru It all he remained calm finally hv sheer force of h's own will brought them to see what would result if he wen elected.
