HIGHWAY IS BUILT
Residents of Western End of
County Anxious to See
Highway Completed.
COUNTY COOPERATES
All New Road Work Being Ild Out
to Conform to the (inula and
Alignment of the State Hjtrh
way Hertlon Nearly Done
The foremost highway nroject in
the minds ot the residents ot the
coast section of Douglas coutny, is
the Roosevelt Highway, a project
which has the endorsement and hud-
port of practically all other residents
of this county. To the people ot the
coast, however," it hears a much
greater Importance for they can In
a belter manner realize the great
value this highway will have In the
development of their, property and
their community..
. The Roosevelt Highway Is perhaps
nearer realtly than most pel pie im
agine. A Toad map if carefully stud
led shows that there are only a few
connecting links to complete and
that with the exception of a surpris
ingly few miles, it is now possible
to travel ' along) the Psjclflc Coast
through the state. The atate Is en
deavoring to give more time and at
tention to this important road and
It is freely predicted that the Roose
velt Highway will be an actuality by
1925.
The route In the Western erd of
the county crosses the Umpqui river
from a point a short distance east of
Gardiner, to a point west of Reedi-
port, tire road Itself passing through
toth placea. The proposed bridge
will be very expensive, ana will, per
haps be the most expensive bridge
the state has ever been called upon
to build In the state. A good site,
however, has been selected and It Is
believed that the bridge will be star
ted In the near future. - '
The county la endeavoring In ev
ery way to lay lta plana so that all
road work In that section of the
county will be In cooperation with
the stste. For this reason the Gardi
ner section of the Gardlner-Floronce
road is being built to conform to the
Roosevelt Highwsy grade and align
ment. This section is one mile In length
and Is being constructed under 'ho
direction of Clyde Catching who has
been employed as supervisor. R.
Klein Is employed as resident engi
neer. This short section eliminates
a very bad grade in the old road and
builds the first link of the Roosevelt
Highway out of Gardiner. The roa-'
oerlookv the rf;ver and from one
point a clear view of Winchester Bsy
and the ocean is obtainable. The
Improvement is being paid for with
special tax and market road money.
There Is no grade of more than lv
per cent although the road climbs
up a hillside and follows along the
ridge. It Is a very heavy typo of
construction but Is being built at s
very low cost.
It Is expected that the gradi will
be finished in another two weeks and
will be graveled ready for travel.
From Reedsport on towards Wln
.t..,or n.v the Roosevelt Highway
follows the present county road for
almost the entire aiint7. in
road Is on a very good grade and re
nnlv a little work and gravel
surf to make it a first clsss piece
of highway.
The people of the coaat aectlon
are very anxious to see Rmdsport
and Gardiner connected np iltb
Marshfleld by the state highway and
It is to be hoped that this is under
taken In the near future.

to the Ktate of Washington.
(By United Press.) i
OAKLAND, Sept. 7. Following
the alleged confession ot the murder
of Ferdinand Hochbrunn made to
Detective Kent, Clara Skarin Win
born la confident that she can clear
herself of the murder charge.
She will not fight extradition. The
alleged confession declares that the
girl shot Hochbrunn who made a
night attack upon her In his home
where she was living as his ward.
Kent declared Mrs. Winnorn stated
she had left clothing at Hochbrunn's
home several weeks before the shoot
ing, and that while she resided with
an aunt, Mrs. Anne Clark, Btie re
turned to the place to obtain her
clothing.
Hochbrunn,' she stated, made Im
proper overtures to her, which she
repulsed. Previous overtures had
prompted her to leave his home, she
declared. To protect herself she had
purchasd from a Seattle pawn ahop
a .32 caliber revolver, under a police
permit, according to her purported
statement, and this she carried with
her, wrapped In a newspaper.
Theat Is Ignored.
' Kent said that Mrs. Wlnborn de
clared Hochbrunn advanced toward
her and that she warned htm she
would kill him unless he hesitated,
to which she said he replied with an
oath and the decluratton that Bhe
would "do nothing of the kind. ' .
, Then,-her story continued, Hoch
brunn advanced further, they grap
pled, and In1 the struggle, the pistol
she had taken there was discharged.
This shot, ehe sald, went wild, and
Hocbrunn forced her against ;a wall,
holding her in such '8 position that
she could not use the weapon. Kent
said that Mrs. Wlnborn described a
struggle as a result of which she was
able to rest the muzzle of the re
volver on the back of Hochbrunn's
head and pull the trigger with her
thumb. ' According- to her account,
Hochbrunn died about 15 minutes
later, he said.
Mrs. Wlnborn said she spent seve
ral minutes' after the shooting in
viewing herself in a mirror, after
which she closed and locked the
door.
Later the neighbors were Informed
that Hochbrunn had gone on a trip
to Portland. Mrs. Wlnborn said,
Kent declared, that she visited the
place several times afterward to ob
tain clothing, but never entered the
room where the body lay.
Previous Attack Described.
Kent said Mrs. Wlnborn. In de
scribing the previous overtures she
charged Hochbrunn with making, as
serted he entered her room one night
before she took up her residence out
side his home and on that occasion
she was able to elude- him only after
a severe struggle.
Mrs. R. R. Hubert Is to leave Se
attle tomorrow to aid Kent In taking
Mr. Wlnborn back to that city. They
probably will not leave before Satur
day, Kent said.

NEGOTIATIONS OPENED AGAIN
FOR BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER
' TO UMPQUA PARK ADDITION
Delegation Appears Before County Court and Presents Propo
sition Which May Result In Settlement of Controversy
and Construction of Bridge. :-'l
i
The way tor further negotiations
for a bridge across the South Umpqua
river to connect up with Umpqua
Park addition, was opened today
when a delegation appeared before
the county court and atated that all
difficulties have been practically
cleared away, and that a road can
be procured and a bridge built for
a very nominal sura ot money. Tbe
county court and city council are
each to be consulted regarding ap
propriations for the bridge, and as
It is unofficially understood that both
are agreeable to the construction of
the Fullerton street bridge, it is
quite possible that the bridge will be
built next year. .
The matter has been long pending
and has caused considerable diffi
culty. The court favored a suspen
sion bridge and road up the river
along Mt. Nebo when the plans failed
to get a bridge at the old site.
When the viewers laid out the road
through the Lindsay property tbey
divided the property in two parts,
and Mr. Lindsay immediately claimed
heavy damages. His claim waa not
allowed and he appealed to the cir
cuit' court, where the case Is still
pending.
He appeared with the delegation
this morning, however, and offered
to donate the right of way through
his property, providing the court will
take the road along the hlllBlde and
will provide a cattleway. It a bridge
is built, he will donate the right of
way without any reservations, and
will build, his own fences. It this
project is i accepted, however, , tho
road will divide the Bryant property
but it is believed that a, settlement
can be obtained there. , 1 ,
Attorney B. L. Eddy, who appeared
with the delegation, and aerved as
spokesman, agreed to take the mat
ter, up with the mayor and city coun
cil, aa he saya ha Is greatly Interested
from a personal standpoint In the
project, having been one of those who
formed the plan. The county court,
although not binding itself to the
project, appeared to be willing to
enter into a co-operative agreement
for the construction of the bridge,
providing the city will also asslBt, and
t Is very probable that the matter
iv 111 be given favorable consideration
as It Is understood that the city has
the monoy on hand at the present
time.
It the bridge Is constructedthe
city receives as a donation the fine
park site which was offered several
yeurs ago by S. D. Evans after he had
Ruined control of the property, fol
lowing the collapse of the old Alex
ander bridge. Mr. Evans has ex
pressed his willingness to conate the
park aa soon as the bridge la built
and la giving bis Influence to the
project.
The residents of Umpqua Park ad
dition have presented a petition ask
ing for the construction or a road
along the river to the Lindsay place
and a bridge across the river at that
point. The court hits agreed to act
UDon this petition, snd viewers will
bn appointed and instructed to view
out 1he desired road. After this re
port Is filed, the matter of damages
can be settled snd It can be definitely
determined whether or not the proj
ect shall he adopted. In the meantime
an agreement can be negotiated be
tween the city and the county court
