WILL PAVE ROAD
TO CAPITAL CITY
THIS SUMMER
SALEM, Or June 13. (Special.)
Quick decision on tha part of the
8tate Highway Commission to ad
vertise for bids on the stretch of the
Pacific Highway between Aurora and
Salem, a dlatance of IS miles, came
through agreement between tba gov
ernment and the commission relat
ive to letting all types of pavement
ba considered In connection with the
blda, after the government had at
first held out for but one type.
Providing contractors make satis
factory blda It seems practically cer
tain that work on tbla highway,
which will link Oregon City to the
State Capitol by a bard surface road
way, will be done thla Summer. In
event the bids are not aatlsfactory
tho alternative la open of the Stale
Engineer bidding on thla work him
self and having It done by force ac
count
Thla alternative may be followed
out. Tha work, which will cost $348,
000, evenly divided between the state
and tha government, will be one of
the biggest stretches to be paved
this year on tha Paclflo Highway aa
far aa la known now, In event County
Judge Iiushey of thla county can be
convinced that he should grade the
highway south from here over what
la known aa the Jefferson Hill, it will
then be but a question of possibly
two yeara uefore the highway la pav
ed completely from Oregon City to
Eugene. Other atretchea are being
filled In between Eugene and the Cal
ifornia line and perhaps five years
time may see a completely paved
highway from Portland to California,
providing war conditions do not great
ly Interfere with road work. The
government, however, seems Inclined
to allow the construction of trunk
hlghwaya as a military move, partic
ularly for the transportation of crops
and eupliee to cut down railroad
transportation as far aa possible.
Judge Ryan May Be
come Independent
Candidate
SALEM, Or., June 17. (Special to
The Enterprise.) -Judge Thomas F.
Ryan, of Gladstone, recently defeated
on tho showing of the official count
by O. P. Hot! for the Republican nom
ination for state treasurer, today
stated he is seriously considering be
coming an lndependnt candidate. He
states he has two or three attorneys
Investigating the advisability of mak
ing a recount, and that they have af
fidavits showing that in a number of
precincts he received more votes
than waa actually credited hlra with
in the final results.
Judge Ryan further states that un
der the 8upreme Court decision the
matter of recount Is moBt difficult and
possibly he may decide not to under
take such step.
In event, ' howver. there is no re
count, he declares it probable he
will become an independent candi
date. Many friends are urging him to
take such a step he says.
Judge Ryan was only defeated by
a very narrow margin of 118 votes In
the primaries according to the official
count He says attorneys will make
an Investigation as to the feasablllty
of a recount as rapidly as possible
end that he prefers the recount meth
od, if he finds that it can be carried
out under reasonable conditions.
NO FIRST DAY
ALIEN WOMEN
REGISTRATION
Although a large number of ap
plication blanks were called for Mon
day no alien women registered at the
Oregon City postofflce under the speo
ial orders which have been issued re
quiring every alien woman In the
United States to register during the
three days, June 23 to 26. Reports

II. S. URGED TO
DECLARE Ml
WITH TURKEY
Sacking of the American hospital at
Tabriz, Persia, and seizure of the Am
erican and Brltluh consulates there by
invading Turkish troops waa reported
to tha atate department Tuesday by
the American minlator at Teheran.
If tha report aa H reached tha min
ister la officially confirmed, the out
rages may be considered aa an act
of war and aettle tha long pending
question of whether the Ottoman
allies of Germany should ba formally
listed among America's enemiea.
According tc today's dispatch the
Turk's sacked the hospital over the
protest of the Spanish consul, in
charge aa representative of American
Interest, and in deflnance of tha Span
ish flag flying over the building.
Tha hospital at Tabriz la a Presby
terian missionary Institution, estab
lished aeveral yeara ago. Many Amer
ican doctors and nurses have been
stationed there, but for aeveral
montba the situation baa been ao se
rious that the force boa been greatly
reduced and a few days ago It was
reported to the atate department that
the laat American had gone.
There haa been vigorous demands
in congresa from time to time for
declarations of a atate of war be
tween the-United States and Turkey
and Bulgaria. President Wilson and
the atate department however, have
not regarded thia atep aa necessary
or desirable.

0 ERRfl IIIHIIC
WASHINGTON, June 19. General
Henry A. Greene, who haa been in
command of the 31st Division Nation
al Army at Camp Lewis, Wash., haa
been ordered to report to Washington.
No explanation of the order waa
forthcoming from the War Depart
ment tonight.
Brigadier-General Frederick 8. Fol
tz has been placed In command at
Camp Lewis temporarily.
TOCAMA, Wash., June 19. General
Greene'a order to report at Washing
ton, D. C, as told in an Associated
Frees dispatch from the capital, came
on the eve of the departure from
Camp Lewis of the Ninety-first Divi
sion, which he commanded. The order
is understood to relieve him of thla
command.:
There was official light lacking
much speculation here aa to the sig
nificance of t order, but no light
waa shed thereon officially. .
Brigadier-General Frederick S. Fol
tz, according to unofficial information,
has been assigned temporarily to the
command of which General Greene
was relieved, and General Greene la
already on his way to Washington.
General Greene waa reported at

River Grade
Clackamas And
Gladstone Sure
The proposed new Hester road,
petitioned for by 274 residents of the
Clackamas road district to cut out
the Chautanoaa na-k hill and furnish
a river grade roa uiUv-jou Cialone
and Clackamss, was sustained by
Judge Campbell Tuesday afternoon.
when G. Hanson's writ of review to
the proceedings of the lower court
was argued.
The court dismissed the writ and
held that the lower court did not ex
ceed its authority in sustaining the
road proceedings and ordering the
road established. The proposed new
highway runs parallel to the Southern
Pacific tracks through Gladstone and
Joins the present county road through
tho Hanson and Smith farms. Hanson
waa allowed $750.00 by the road
road viewers and Smith $250.00 for
damages sustained by reason of the
road cutting through their tracts. The
former through Attorney Eby, im
mediately appealed from the damages
and also reviewed the action of the
lower court In granting the road, on
technical grounds.
District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges
raised the point that the 1917 special
road law made provision to cover
technical defects in road proceedure
and urged that plaintiff's objections
were covered by the 1917 legislative
act Judge Campbell held that ques
tions of sufficient notice, posting, and
proof would come within the provis
ions of the new law and sustained the
orders of the county court in estab
lishing the road.
It is . planned to make a first-class
highway along the new road leaving
the present county road at the H. E.
Cross residence in Gladstone and run
ning thence along the S. P. tracks,
finally coming out on the main ctunty
road again at the Hanson place. This
will connect up directly with the
regular Clackamas and East 82nd
Street road and furnish a continuous
highway from Oregon City to Port
lend, avoiding the present had hill
near the Chautauqua park at Glad
stone. It Is thought that work will
start immediately upon the new road,
the attorneys agreeing to take the
matter ot damages before Judge
Campbell at an early date, on the ap
peal. draft board is
harsh with men
ignoringrui.es
Sheriff Wilson and Clerk Iva Har
rington, members of the local board,
visited points in the eastern and
southern part of the county Friday, in
vestigating claims for agricultural de
deferred classification which have
been made before the board.
Slnce the questionnaires have been
filed there have been many changes
In the status of registrants in various
parts of the county, which have been
reported to the office unofficially by
others than the registrants. Several
if these have been investigated ana
a change in the classification has been
promptly made by the board.
Under the draft law it is the duty
of the registrant to keep the board
posted of any change in his status, by
reason of change of employment or
different conditions of dependency or
industrial or agricultural claims. Fail
ure to so report those charges will
result in an immediate reclassification,
placing the registrant in Class 1.
COAT OF TAR FEATHERS
GIVEN El El KELLOGG
E. E. Kellogg, prominent farmer
residing in Mt. Pleasant above Ore
gon City, has objected to bond drives,
war savings stamps, Red Cross dona
tions, and Loyalty League meetings.
During the dark houra Wednesday
night he objected for a moment to
a generous Application of tar and
feathers, but an orderly crowd of
aome 25 unknown citizens waa in no
mood to hear further objectiona from
Kellogg, and he waa flien a most
artistic decoration of warm tar and
chicken feathers. As tha wrecking
crew wore masks and was exceeding
ly quiet about Its work, no clue to
the miscreants has been obtained.
When Kellogg saw the crowd meant
business he offered to buy most any
thing if they would release him. He
was taken from his home to a seclud
ed dark corner of the Abernethy can
yon, where tha adornment took place.
It has been whispered about for
some time that a vlgilenco committee
has been secreteljfc. organized about
Oregon City, with a membership of
several hundred red blooded Ameri
cana, but whether thia organization
haa bad a hand In the affair is en
tirely probelmatical. .
