4 Contracts totalling more than
$1.01)0.000 for ner types of
aircraft developed by the
Curtis company of New York
and the Douglass company of
California, were awarded to-
day by the army air service.
The machines are new obr
servatlon types, which have
been approved by the army

for the war built "HH'i"
type. An award of 170.000
was given the Curt ins com-
pany for development of the
new machine and the Dou-
glass company received an
award of $60,000 for similar
work on its production.
Awards were made on the
basis of tests at the McCook
Field. Dayton, Ohio. Ten
machines were ordered from
the Curtla company at an esl-
mated cost of $260,000 and
i
:
75 at an estimated cost of

firmed the nomination of a single
post master and kept the way op
en for further sessions by leaving
en Its calendar the nominations of
two assistant attorney-generals
and other recent appointees.
"We have several matters of Im
portance left to consider," smiling
ly remarked Senator Walsh, demo
crat, Montana, a leader of the op
position to Mr. Warren, as he left
the senate chamber..
The votes gained by the opposi
tion today were those of Senators
Dill, Edwards, Gerry, Kendrick
and Smith, democrats, and Howell
and La Follette, republicans. The
admission forces gained the vote
of Senator Lenroot, republican,
Wisconsin, but lost that of Sena
tor Reed, republican, Pennsylvan

McMaster. Senator McMaster pre
viously voted against the confirm
ation. The administration also lost
the vote of Senator Overman, dem
ocrat. North Carolina, who last
Tuesday . voted for confirmation
but waa paired today In opposition
to the nomination.
WASHINGTON, March 16.
The senate moved forward today
In probably the final engagements
ol its battle over the nomination
of Charles B. Warren as Attorney
General with the opposition forces
directing their strategy chiefly to
President Coolldge's challenge of
a recess appointment of Mr. War
ren in case of a second rejection
of his nomination.
The unanimous consent agree
ment for a vote on confirmation
at 2:30 p. m.. left only four hours
for debate from the time the
senate convenes at 10:30 o'clock.
President Coolidge In resub
mitting the nomination, made it
clear that be desired a full pre
sentation of Mr. Warren's quali
fications, but It appeared that In
Its final stages the debate would
shift largely from this phase to
the constitutional questions which
democratic senators Insist have
been raised by the executives pro
nouncement. Whether Mr. Warren, who Is
remaining here as the president's
guest, would accept a recess ap
pointment, was a matter of which
there has been no Information,
should he do so he could draw
no salary until confirmed by the
senate at a later session. . Al
though it is contended that he
could continue to hold office, not
only throughout the recess, but
until the end of the season of
congress which begins next De
cember, the language of the con
stitution on this point is as fol
lows: "The president shall have the
power to fill up all vacancies that
may happen during the recess of
the senate by granting commis
sions which shall expire at the
end o( their next session."
The gathering of spectators
approximated the scenes of an
inauguration day.
Several hundred persons, most
ly women, lined the corridors or
sat on the stairs near the public
gallery, long before the doors
were opened and rushed for seats
of advantages as soon as tbey
could gain admission.
The special gallery for sena
tors' families, also filled early and
many members of the House of
Representatives who have floor
protegees, took seats In the rear
of the senate chamber;
When the session was called
to order nearly the entire mem
bership was on the floor. Those
present included a number of
senators who had been away
when the roll was called on last
Tuesday. Among them was Sena
tor La Follette, Just back from a
vacation In Florida.
The debate was opened by
Senator Goff, republican, of West
Virginia, who In his maiden
speech In the senate said, he
would be derelict if he did not
defend a man so fit for the of
fice as Mr. Warren.
Citing his services In the Be
ring Sea Seal Fisheries case as
an example of the nominee legal
anility, he declared Mr. Warren
was not employed In that case as
a clerk, as his opponents had
charged, but as one of the lead
ing rounsel.

CONRADOLSON
State Submits Lists of Pro.
jects to County Court
for Its Adoption. ;
WILL BUILD BRIDGES
Spans to Be Moved from
Winchester and Oakland
to Elkton and Round
Prairie.
The market road fund 'allotments
for the year have been approved
by the state engineer, and If adopt,
ed by the Douglas county court at
Its next regular session will be
come effective. The state approves
appropriations for $16,000 for the
road between Roseburg and Oak
Creek; 112,500 for the Mill Creek
road: 19,000 for the Edenbower
paving; $15,000 for the Elkton
bridge; $80,000 for the TUler-Milo
road; $2,000 for the Tabor section
of the Looking Glass road; $3,000
for the Round Prairie bridge; and
$3,000 for the surfacing of the new '
ML Nebo road. These recommenda
tions will come before the county
court at Its next meeting tor final
approval and adoption.
These appropriations are aug
mented by special taxes amounting
to approximately $25,000, so that
the total expenditures on these
projects will amount to around
$100,000.
The money appropriation for tha
road east of Roseburg is for
straightlng and widening grades,
and for surfacing. The money will
be used as far aa It will go, the ex
pectations being that It will reach
as far as Oak Creek.
The amount for the Mill Creek
road will be matched with $7,000
special tax money. The' Loon Lake
district has been working for sev
eral years to build an outlet down
Mill Creek and has the road mar
completion, the $19,500 made avail
able by the market road appropria
tion Is expected to be enough . to
complete the project, giving a
good outlet for that community,
permitting the abandonment of the
present road which is steep and
dangerous. The new road connects
with the Umpqua highway at the
mouth of Mill Creek.
The sum of $9,000 appropriated
for the Edenbower paving, win be
Increased to $14,000 by special tax
money. That district voted 10 mills
special road tax for several years;
paving more than a mile of the
road, and grading the portion to be
surfaced this year.
The Elkton district has $6,000
left In special taxes to be applied
with the $15,000 appropriation for a
bridge there. The county will take
two spans from the Winchester
bridge and move them to Elkton to
permit crossing the river at that
point, and connecting up with the
Umpqua Highway.
Anuther span of the Winchester
bridge, and a span or the Oakland
bridge, will be moved to Round.
