He was sentenced from Pniatilla county. RAN FRANCISCO. June 21 (AP) Joe Hlankonshin, I"., dis- unneared at Yuma, Ariz., yester day while officers were returning li 1 in to Oregon to answer a check charge. Sheriff's neputy O. TT. Lnngslot road on modern highway standards. He said that already a groat im provement may be seen ayd that connecting links will be added as rapidly as possible. He told the audience that high way money is allotted according to a formula which Includes popula tion, traffic, distance and area, and that there is, therefore, a limit to the money available for Pacfiic highway work. The Roseburg-Orants Pass bot tleneck, he said. Is recognized by the commission as the most im portant and in us t expensive im provement remaining to be made. The stale has undertaken the im provement of the Siskiyou section from Ashland to the state line, and expectH this year to build the final link in that section, the long est stretch of modern highway In the state. As soon as this is done, be said, it will permit the commis sion to start work between Rose burg and Crants Pass. Due to the limited amount of money avail able each year, together with the great expense of reconstructing the mountainous section of road, progress will be very slow, unless special federal aid Is secured. May Speed Work in the event congress passes the McDonald hill, or some other art providing aid to states In highway construction connected with a fed eral system of highways, it may be possible to speed the Roseburg (Jrants Pass project, Mr. Cabell said. He outlined the plan advanced before congress to build a great, federal network of highways, ami highly praised the work of Mr. Mr Donald, chief engineer of the bu reau of public roads, who submit ted the plan. Objections Pointed Out He called attention to two pos sible objections, one a claim that the proposal to buy land adjacent to rights of ways and to resell the lands on a higher value made pos sible by the road construction would infringe on personal rights, and the other an attempt by east ern states, where there are great centers of population to secure a larger share of the allotments. Regarding the first objection he declared his personal opinion that large purchases of hind would not be found practicable and would not be attempted. The sec- ; ond objection, he paid. Is more ser ious and one upoa which western states should put much effort. He explained that the plan includes a formula for allocation of the fed eral money, distance and area be ing factors In that formula. Ho urged that the Oregon delegation In congress be impressed with the necessity of retaining in the bill a formula for distribution of funds. (Sovernor Sprague complimented the highway commission for effi ciency and careful sludy of road problems, anil spoke highly of the EGG GRADING LAW DISCUSSED HERE Karl Kohllngor of Kugene, dis trict representnlivt' of the state de partment of agriculture, spent to day In Reselling Hireling with a Dumber "f local egg handlers rein tivo to tho new egg grading regu lations.

Tourist Trade "Steady" He discussed at length the mat ter of tourist business and declar ed that no great surge of Increase in the number of tourists may be anticipated, except as may result from unusually prosperous years. He pointed out viat other Htates, heretofore not competing for tour ist travel, are now advertising hi'EVi!y end are diverting some traffic, At the same time, he said, the Pacific northwest has advant ages which cannot he matched bv other states and therefore will con tinue to grow in touritU import ance, but he anticipates a steady rather than rapid growth. Com plaints that tourist business Ih fall ing off are not well founded, he lectared, pointing out that more and more people are going into businesses catering to the tour- I 1st trade ami thereby are dividing! the business among more opera-j tors, Commenting upon the North I l.'mpqua river resources, he jok- ! ingly declared that Douglas roun ty had a good right to he selfish of fin recreational facilities. He said he recognized, however, the ; wonderrul attraction to tourists and expressed confidence that the j mini improvements now in pro gress would prove of great econ omic value. ' Fish Problem Noted Touching upon the local problem, long a disputed point between the fish commission and the sports men's Interests of the state, Gov ernor Sprague declared lhat Imme diately upon his return to Salem he will talk with the fish commis sion relative to its hatchery, propa gation of steelheuds, and preven tion of depleting the fish life of the stream. He intimated he would propose a change In the system of racks used for holding salmon, and which sportsmen contend prevent the migration of Rteelheads to tjie upper river spawning beds. Touching on conditions within the stale. Governor Sprague de clared there has been a substantial increase in employment and an equal decrease in unemployment relief and expressed the opinion that conditions will continue to steadily improve unless checked by some now unforeseen condition.
