IN CHINA VAR ZONE
WASHINGTON, July 23. Appre
hension as to the safety of foreigners
in China, resulting from fighting be
tween tho two factions, was lessened
today by advices of the state depart
ment from American legation at
Pekin.
General Wang, commanding forces
In Pekln, the advices said, had taken
measures to protoct Americans and
other foreigners, while reports to the
legation from Tien Tsin and other
points in the zone of activities Indi
cate a dlsposlton by all leaders to
respect foregn colonies.
There are in the capital and at
Tien Tsln approximately 600 Ameri
can civilians. The reinforced Ameri
can military strength in Pekln Is 423
marines, which, added to the com
bined allied forces, Including that of
Japan, will, it is believed, be suf
ficient to reduce disordor. It Is
assumed that the only danger for-'
clgners might Incur would be due to
their wondering beyond the bound
aries of the foreign concessions' and
then only at the hands of scattered
groups.
It was explained unofficially today
that action by any of the powers
represented Is unlikely so long as the
factions confine themselves to opera
tions that do not endanger foreign
ers and that leave open the road from
Fekln through Tien Tsln to the coast.
The greater part of the foreign mili
tary forces, Including that of the
United States, is now patrolling that

SOUTH ROUTE OF
NT. HOOD LOOP
LIKELY CHOICE
(Portland Oregonlan)
It is almost a certainty that the
state highway commission will select
a Vcatlon for the Mount Hood loop
road, between Gresham and Zigzag,
on the south side of the Sandy river.
If the commission desired chiefly a
scenic road, the route would most
likely be on the north side of the
river, where the Portland city com
mission has petitioned that it he
placed. People who have traversed
the north and south sides usually
agree that there is a more wonderful
vista on the north side, and that
along the north side there are in
numerable Ideal spots for outings.
However, the state highway commis
sion is looking for more than scenery,
for in Oregon it Is practically impos
sible to build a road in any section
without its being more or lee of a
scenic highway.
Scenery Is not confined to the Co
lumbia, highway ,the Mount Hood
loop or Mackenzie pass. There is
some magnificent scenery on the Pa
cific highway; tbe Grants Pass-Cres
cent City road; the Coast highway, tbe
Roseburg-Coos Bay highway and in
fact, scenery will be found on all
sides.
On the south side of the Sandy
river there is a rich agricultural dist
rict whose possibilities can scarcely
be realized. Into the Mount Hood
road on the south side there flows the
traffic and produce of a large section
of Clackama9 county. If located on
the north side tbe Mount Hood road
would not be so convenient and this
traffic and produce would have to fina
another means of trickling into Port
bind. One of the main points the members
of the state highway comm' ' nve
constantly in mind when selecting a
road is how It will serve the people.
The location which will be of most
general benefit has the favc -
commission. Thus, as the south side
has scenery and, furthermore, will be
of superior benefit to' the producers,
the odds are. that the location will be
on the son th side. ' - ,
There 'may be no decision for some
weeks, however. Commissioner Booth
plana, next month, to go ent!reb-
arottnd the mountain over the tenta
tive route selected by the forestry
people through the national forest
Commissioners Benson and Kiddle are
expected to go to Government camp
or farther In the near future, although
both these commissioners have been
over the ground before.
In a general way, there is an im
pression that the state highway com
mission will make the location from
Gresham to Zigzag, or from the
Multnomah county line to Zigzag. It
is within the range of possibility,
nevertheless, that the commission
may make the location starting from
Sandy to Zigzag. There Is a good
road from Gresham to Sandy, In fact
a couple of' them. By starting at
Sandy and going toward the mountain
considerable mileage would be saved
in building a road.
The present road from Sandy
through Firwood, Cherryville and
Brightwood is at this time in bad
shape. There Is no rougher road In
Oregon, for it is a succession of
chuckholes. Much of this distance
was planked a year ago, but during
the winter heavy trucks were run
over the road, smashing the planking
to kindling or knocking the boards
loose. Now traffic must skirt along
In the chuckholes at the edge of the
planking and the driver must be in
low or intermediate gear most of the
time, which is a serious matter,, in
these days of gasoline shortage.
Engineer Scott, who made a survey
for the state highway commission,
has followed the present road as a
rule, but has avoided the heavy
grades which develop here and there.
The city commission now wants the
highway commission to make another
survey on tne norm side before ar
riving at a decision.
Whether the highway commission
will go to the expense of the second
survey is not known, but the senti
ment of the commissioners, as infor
mally expressed, is that they lean
toward the south side, . for obvious
reasons.
Even though the commission decides
on a location this year, the season is
so far advanced that no work can be
performed this year, even if the con
tract, were let.
Little by little the Mount Hoou
loop Is being gouged into being. The
Zigzag-Government Camp section is
approaching completion and now the
forestry people are planning to award
a contract within a few weeks for six
miles within the national forest on
the Hood River side. The state high
way commission has agreed to pay for
building a mile and a half in Hood
River county which will connect with
the six miles in the preserve. This
work will be let by the forestry
people.
The mil and a half which the state
is to pay for, and the state expects
Hood River county to share the cost.
will be the most heavy construction
on the loop. The milo and a half
will be one of the most costly pieces
of work In the state, but until this
short stretch is graded, no work can
be done on the adjoining six miles hi
the reserve.
