2 8. Until
receives 4
conies of the
new Oregon road J
laws, anl an official inlerjire
tation has been secured, the -J-
new highway commission will
not be recognized and Federal
aid will be delayed, according
lu an opinion of Attorney
Oeiieral llrown.
That Douglas County, because of;
the fact that it has nearly twice as
much Pacific Highway as any other
county in Oregon, is entitled to. and
should receive a substantial appro
priation of the funds realized lrom
1 he $tl, 00(1,000 bond issue with
which to improve its roads, was the
deealaratioti of K. J. Adams, mem
ber of the State Highway Commis
sion, who was the principal speaker
at the good roads rally held at the
courthouse here this afternoon.
"The state of Oregon must and
will hue good roads," Paid Mr.
Adams. "Kverything depends on the
success of the greater bond issue.
I toads cost money and they cannot
be properly constructed over night.
There has been a great cry in Ore
gon for many years that the burden
of the building and maintenance of
roads should be placed on the
shoulders of those who wear them
out. This bond issue is the first step
of Its kind; it squarely places the
cost of the roads on the owners of
motor curs and gives the owners of
motor ears something in ret urn.
Careful calculations clearly show
thai, the license fees from motor cars
which the law provides shall be paid
into a fund for the payment or in
terest and the retirement of these
bonds will not only pay tor the bonds
but will leave a surplus of more
than $7. noo, 000 at the time the last
bund is paid.
"W'e might collect the license fees
from the motorist each year and
spend his money building roads, but
we would give him nothing for his
money. W hen we borrow this money
by pledging the credit of the state
we provide roads for the motorist to
use now, while he is paying for them,
and we save him enough in tires and
wear and tear on his machine to
more than pay his license fees. It
cms to me that the people of Ore-
ton will make a tremendous mistake
if thev do not take advantage of a;
road building plan so well propor- '
tioned." i
Although making no promises, ;
Mr. Adams Intimated that it was on-
lv natural that the roads which were 1
found to be in the worst conditio.! ,
would be improved first. There
seems to be a growing sentiment
throughout the state," said Mr. ;
Adams, "to the effect that the State.
Highway Commission intends to ex-
pend practically all of the money j

large floral baskets at the top of

M-t at intervals along the curb of the

LONDON, March 28. "If war be
comes solely a (juesi ion of sl.uying
power, financial and industrial, the
allies' victory is certain. We have
the resources."
This was the declaration of Bonar
Law, Chancellor of the Kxehequer, ,
in his first interview with an Ameri-i
can correspondent.
"lias the effect of America's en-
j trance into the war been consid
ered?" he was asked.
"A merica's resources are greater
than anv of the allies, but it is out-
ovince of a member of the
government to discuss
possible action," he an
swered, 'and I have steadily re
frained from doing so. Hut if the
war becomes a quest Ion of staying
power, t he A mer iean rcsou ices will
; make all (he difference in the world.
; As long as our country has credit,
jHi- can fight. Germany's resources,
.financial and otherwise, are practi
! cally confined within its own bor
! ders. There is evidence 1 hat C.er-
many has lost or is soon to lose its
credit with its own people. Other
resources may give a way sooner.
; Austria is less able to support her
, self alone. Turkey and Bulgaria are
! supported by others."

see American troops here as soon as

, pondents. "The public is confident
, of American military aid, and such

1 coined. The new government's policy
is more active, and I can say that
Germany is actually in hard straits."

State Good Roads Association,
(otnprising the states of Wash
.J.
- i -
ington. Oregon and California,
rived in lioseburg late Tues
day night to attend the good
It
roads rally held here today.
Mr. Westerlund is a believer in
good roads and is doing every
thing, possible to aid in the
1 .!.
passage of the $11,000,000 road
bond, which will be submitted
to the people of Oregon at a
5-
special election to be held on
.1 une L "Good roads is the
4 biggest and best asset a state
or county can have," said Mr.
Westerlund this morning, "and
there is no legitimate excuse-
A why the bond issue now before
the people of Oregon should
! meet wit h opposit itui. These
bonds will be liquidated by the
automobile owners anil the
T taxes will not be increased one
f- cent. It will certainly be un
fortunate for Oregon if the
bonds should be defeated."
1 le called special at lent ion
to the fact that one-third of
the Pacific Highway In Ore
gon, uow unimproved, is in
Douglas County. Owing to the
mountainous districts includ
ed, the cost to build this part
Vi
of
the high w ay will be full y
ee-fourths of the amount
required for the whole, line.
The Tri-State Good Itoads As
soc tat ion will give all possible
aid in this direction, and the
believes the State Highway
Commission wil likewise give
valuable assistance.
A great Tri-State good roads
convention will be held at
Medfoid on May I.", anil H',,
for which occasion all the rail
roads of Oregon. Washington
and California have granted a
fare of one and one-third for
the round trip.
Mr. Westerlund is quite well
acquainted in lioseburg ami he
met a number of his friends

Hotel Holland, one. of the lead

pion o! good roads, armed in liose
buru early this morning to attend
the good roads rally which was held
it! the courthouse here this after

Yamhill County," said Mr. Lunger
this morning. "We had a big meet
ing of tanners a I McM innville last

like commiltocs from other counties.
We will also send a big deiegal Ion
to the good roads meeting to he held I
in Portland on Saturda), April "Hi.
Lveryoue in Yamhill County wants .

Mr. Lunger, as a member of the

wants to know who author

opposed t he bonds hot It in speech
ami in print.
"I am a Granger," asserted Mr
Lunger, ' ami I am for ihe bonds. I
k now of dozens of oi her Grangers
who are for them. What business
has Mr. Speiico to go around and Hay
he represents the Grange, when he:

Mr. S pence's act h it y in this con

A man who wanted a room in the

county jail and who spent two nights
and one day behind a luckc-d door in
contemplation of that st met u re. is
thought to have afforded the latest
clue to the courhouse robbery, which
