BIG CAMAS ROAD
T OF
Section of Eastern End of
North Unipqua Road Is
Nearly Finished.
TO START NEW WORK
Construction of New Road;
East of Tiller to Be.
Started First of
the Month.
The road from Diamond LaVo to
Big Caraa Ranger StsHuu, the east
aectlon of the No. in Umpqua high
way, will be completed next week,
according to an announcement
made thia morning by Forest Su
pervisor Carl B. Neal who has Just
returned from spending the sum
mer season in field and inspection
work. The crew which has been
working on the Bis Camas aectlon
is to be withdrawn and placed on
the skyline road.
The Bis; Camas section of the
Vmpqua highway baa been built
entirely by the forest service, with
out aid' or assistance from any out
side source. The road is approxi
mately 24 miles in length, and is 9
feet wide on hillsides and 19 feet
wide on straightaways. Owing to
the nature of the ground, the road
was constructed at a comparative
ly low cost, the work costing about
92.1KH) per mile, with the exception
f 2 miles at Fish creek where two
miles with a bridge over the stream
the cost amounted to $S.OO0. This
road is a good auto road in the
summer, Mr. Neal says, and will
give the forest service an opportun
ity to get its supplies In to ths cen
tra! ranger station by truck.
Mr. Neal announces that work
will start the first of the month on
a proposed new road up the South
I'mpoua to Camp Comfort. This Is
primarily a forest development
road, being built for the purpose
of giving fire fighters access to
a section of forest which is now
difficult to reach, but It will like
wise open up a wonderful hunting
and fishing country.
Camp Comfort Is approximately
2S miles east of Tiller. A road has
already been constructed 10 miles
up the south fork, but It Is now pro
posed to extend it. The new fork
Is to be done from the boundary to
Camp Comfort, but It is the plan
to start this year at the end of the
present road. The new road will be
changed in location, eventuajly, be

BRIGHTON, Eng., Sept. 19.
Jabei Wulffe, trainer of Miss Ger

legations that be halted ber recent
attempt to swim tiie English chan
nel when she was still able to go
on with her efforts.
"At the sixth hour of th swlni,"
he said, "Miss Ederle coriplained
of a cramp and 1 beggeil her to
carry on a ll:il longer to see If
she would recover from It. At ths
eighth hour she waa sulfering in
tense agony, purely owing to the
lack of condition. After eight
hours and 45 minutes she col
lapsed. M! ae no Instructions for Hel

point of view, as there was a risk
of her being drowned, Helmy went
to her aid. , 1 was standing by on

her and put the life aaving appar
atus on. her aa aaw was uncon

untrue. 1 take it her story was
meant to cover her non-compliance
with my repeated efforts to get her
to train. : It was evident both to
the French and English observere
that ber training consisted mainly
of playing the ukelele. -
"One baa only to observe the
pictures of her collapse In the
water to see thst she waa Incapa
ble of making any further effort.
Handley, Misa Ederle's coach, was
not present snd Mifis Vletz. ber at
tendant was on a tug, about 80
yards away at the time of the col
lapse, and therefore not in a posi
tion to Jude of Miss Ederle's con
dition. -1 am of the opinion that
had Miss Ederle followed my In
structions and not been interfered
with by ber coach and other ad
visors, she would have suceeded.
1 still think she Is tapable of do
ing so If she Is properly trained."
On her arrival in New York yes
terday, Miss Ederle asserted that
she would have kept on swimming
and that there was no truth In the
story that she collapsed.
She added that Helmy was swim
ming with her and that she was go
ing strong when Wolffe suddenly
shouted: "Grab her " "Of course."
Miss Ederle said, "As soon as Hnl-
my touched me, I was dlsquall
fled."

T. W. Burgess, who took over the
training of Gertrude Ederle after
her break with Jabex Wolffe, today
said that at the time the American
girl was taken from the water on
her channel attempt, he felt that
she was in actual difficulty. In
fact. If he had been closer to her,
he would have himself gone to her
assistance,
On the other hand, Joseph Costa, j
who managed Miss Ederle's at

she had a chance to continue, when

Also the judicial sub-committee

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19 (A. P.)
The fact that a large part of the
public remains "unconvinced with
reference to the liquor traffic"
coupled with failure of the federal
government to make any "adequate
effort" at enforcement and de
linquency of the churches in con
tinuing temperance education,
were held responsible for the pres

ings made public tonight by tbe
Research and Education depart

These conclusions were announc

public tbe last Installment of lta
special report on the social conse
quences of prohibition, complied
after aa exhaustive investigation.
Other portions of the report have
been made public previously during
the jiasi week.
In view of the government's re
cent reorganisation, the present
situation waa declared to present
"an unprecedented challenge" to
the churcbea and schools. The "de
linquency" of the former In carry
ing on the temperance work be
gun long netore prohibition was
described as "perhaps even great
er than that of the federal govern
ment."
"A new opportunity Is at hand."
concluded tbe report "The criais
that has developed In the enforce
ment of prohibition calls for a
frank facing of lacts and a new
assumption of responsibility.
"The federal government has an
nounced a right-about-face on en
forcement policy. That is the gov
ernment's task. It Is not Its .task
to change Ihe minds of the people.
Religion and education must do
that. Nothing but energetic and
sustained educational effort can
atone for past negligence."
With regard to the attitude of
the public, the report presented the
results of a number of polls among
various elements of Amerlcsna,
but commented that figures could
form little basis for definite con

reverse the verdict If they had the
chance, but there Is murh reason
to believe that most of the states,
taken as a whole, would still vote
affirmatively. The attitude of the
smaller communlliea and the rural
sections Is difficult to discover. The
most recent evidence of the trend
of popular opinion was the approv

Massarhusetta
In November, 1924, nf a law simi
lar to the Volstead Act. The ma
jority was small, but It reversed a
considerable adverse majority of
two years before.
Two farts, however, need to be
kopl In mind. So much stress Is
put utton the moral Issue Involved
in prohibition that- It Is highly
probable that many persons, and
specially legislators, vote for pro
hibition laws against their prefer
ence, because they cannot 'aland
the garr of moral criticism. Furth
ermore, It Is now sufficiently clear
that mere majorities. In Ihe rase
of so hotly contested an Issue as
prohibition presents are of little
permanent significance."
One of the polls recorded In Ihe
report waa taken at the Cllliens
Military Training Camp at Fort
Ethan Allen In 1924. Of 597 men en
rolled only 104 recorded themselves
j as favorable to the exlating pro

marked that "so long aa It la pos
