Loss is Heavy
EL'REKA, c,bA., vug. 8. Forty-eight
persons, 36. passengers and 12 of the
crew, were lost Sunday when the
steamer Alaska of the San Francisco
& Portland Steamship company,
bound from Portland, Or., to San
Francisco, sank 30 minutes after
crash ing into the rocks of Blunt's
reef, 40 miles south of this city.
Passengers and members of the
crew were blown from the decks of
the vessel into the ocean when the
ship's boilers exploded as the Alaska
started sinking, survivors brought
here tonight said.
The survivors, numbering 166 per
sons, were brought here Monday by
rescue ship Anyox, the first vessel to
reach the scene of the wreck in ro
sponce to the Alaska's radio signals.

When the Alaska went down off
Cape Mendocino it was just chance
that Dr. and Mrs. Frank Mount were
not on board. And it was chance
again that George W. Owen was
among the passengers. Doctor and
Mrs. Mount had intended to take pas
sage on the Alaska but didn't. Mr.
Owens had not intended to, but did
Plans are Changed
Doctor and Mrs. Mount left a week
ago Monday for California. They ex
pected to go on the Alaska, and had
arrangements made for the trip. But
the doctor wanted to take his auto
mobile to the sunny south to enjoy
the paved highways. The car was
too large to get aboard the Alaska,
and auto freight was not being taken.
The best arrangement that could be
mada was to ship the car on the
Rose city which left a week ahead
of the Alaska. The Mounts took pas
sage on this boat, cancelling accom
odations on the Alaska.
A twist -of chance in the opposite
direction was the experience of Mr.
Owen. Mr. Owen was on his way
from Oregon City to his home in
Haywood, near Oakland, California.
He had intended, according to J. J.
Tobin, manager of the Electric Hotel
where Mr. Owen makes his head
quarters while in Oregon City, to
take the train.
Ocean Trip Entices'
The hot summer weather, and the
prospects of a delightful water trip,
appealed. Mr. Owen at first felt
that the rail trip would be the best,
but after discussing the matter d3

might have been a robbery at the
home of Anton Natalin, 15th and
Jackson street.
Mr. Natalin vjas away Thursday
night. Mrs. Natalin for soma "unac

At midnight Mrs. .Natalin wus

Immature Judgment
It is one thing to assist in the creation of a definite
power for the development of a community. It is quite
another thing to tear it to shreds before it has had a fair
opportunity to function.
This is the position of the Portland Telegram in re
lation to the Oregon Tourist Commission, authorized by
the last legislature and for which there was appropriated
$1 2,500 per annum.' The Telegram had a finger in the
creation of the commission, but no sooner had the gov
ernor appointed the members of it, than "the paper that
does things" started a. fight, for reasons that will probab
ly appear. It is current report around Portland that the
Telegram developed a running sore When it was not per
mitted t odictate the membership and the policies and
expenditures of the commission.
Leslie Butler of Hood River, is chairman of the com
mission, and Sidney Vincent is secretary. Mr. Butler is
in the bankinig business, but he sperids easily four-fifths
of his time for the public good, without renumeration.
He is intensely and patriotically interested in the good
of his state and sacrifices his personal interests for Ore
gon. He is also a director of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist Association and of the State Chamber of Com
merce, serving without pay. Mr. Vincent is a former
newspaper man, for years Portland representative of the
Associated Press and was connected with the publicity
and convention bureau of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce until recently. He is energetic, capable and
an Oregon enthusiast.
Now the Telegram is complaining because an ex-
cursion party has been organized to go to Crater Lake
and Josephine Caves. Of course the commission is not
financing the party. But the Telegram expects the or
I ganization, within a few months, and upon an appropri-
ation of $ 1 ,000 a month, to erect signs on roads all over
Oregon and to establish tourist depots in many towns
along the line of tourist travel.
The snap-judgment attitude of the Telegram is
the principal reason why men are unwilling in Oregon
to devote their time in non-salaried labor for the devel-
opment of the state. Yet this critical newspaper carries
this slogan at the head of its editorial column as a part
j of its program :
"Make Oregon America's playground. Provide
highways and tourist accomodations which will open to
the host of American pleasure seekers Oregon's scenic
1 wonderland and release to Oregon dividends on unde
veloped recreational wealth."

ON THE ROAD
A motorist who came here after an excended trip throughout
the United States remarked in the difference in the attitude of
autoists to each other along the road in different sections of the
country. .
Sr.ppose, he said, your car is stalled along the roadside with
trouble. . Some places every passing car offers aid, and yet
again in other places dozens of machines will pass without prof
fering help.
The fraternity of autcists is based on common interest, and
oftnn upon mutual trouble. It should be based upon mutual aid.
Tho habit of extending a helping hand to the man who is stalled
on the highway is one which more motorists should cultivate.
K you have ever had a puncture or a blowout, you know how
it feels to discover that your repair is home on the garage
bench. The proffered assistance of some passing driv
er is gladly -welcomed. Even if you are stalled and
not in need of assistance, it is a comforting
thing to have the occupants of a passing ma
chine hail you with "Need ai.y help:"
" Any state or county which expects to explolc
its highways to the fullest niust develop ths
courtesy of the road. It is a little thing, but true
of most little things, It counts.
In the east, owners of a popular make cf ma
chine have organized a ''courtesy club,'' the only
obligation of which is ic hrlp owien of the
same make of car in time cf trouble. It -s aigcod
idea, but one which should be extended to the
i'ield of all motordom rathir than to a parti ;iuar
make of machine.
The few instants delay which it might occasion
to Dass out a tire natch, or
locate some hidden trouble,
if reDaid in no other wav. is
worthwhile in the kinship of
the road which it fosters.

STATE HIGHWAY ROAD-BUILDING
PROGRAM NEAR COMPLETION HERE
The present highway improvement River bridge, the highway department
program, which is being carried out has established a bridge office here
by the state highway commission which wil have charge of the engineer
here, will be completed at the latest ! ing work. Engineer R. a. Furrow of
by the end of this year, according to' j the state department is in charge' of
Highway Engineer F. T. Young.
The present road, building for
Clackamas county, states Mr. Young,
is practically complete. The build

bridge, will however, require the next
year and a iiair. Actual road wjrk
Market Roads Surveyed
Mr. Young, during the time has
been here, has been greatly interested
in the entire road program of the
state. He has made surveys on a
number of market roads, and surveyed
will bfi finished in a short time, if no ! .a v-iegn Ulty-

The work in Clackamas involves, ac-71 Z'Z ly m nee1 ot
Mr v,rt. f,,. I improvement. The highway commis-
total expenditure or ?44 i.you. Tnis
amount aggregating nealrly half a
million dollars, is not inclusive of the
amount which is to be spent on the
new Willamette river . bridge. The
expenditure covers the period of the
last two years.
During th past twenty-four months
which Mr. Young's office has been
located here the state has completed
six large projects, including roads and
bridges, and has the work on one pro
ject, the Pacific Highway, at a point
practically finished.
The improvement of the Barlow
Aurora road, by graveling entailed an
expenditure of $11,450, according to
Mr. Young. The Canby-Aurora grad
ing ost $35,000, the Oregon City-Oswe-go
grading, $57,000, the Tyron creek
bridge, $6,000, the Sucker creek
bridge, $69,500 and the bridge at Mc
lalla $46,000. This work' involves a
total expenditure of nearly a quarter
of a million of dollars.
Large Project Under Way
The largest project, however, is the
Pacific Highway, which will cost when
completed $220,000. The portion of
which Mr. Youngrrejected, neeessitat-
tends. from Oregon City to the Mult
nomah county line.
Work on the highway at present
is in progress near Bolton, and the
closing of the gap in the road at that
sion cannot improve it because of the
fact that a good portion of it ;s with
in the corporative limits of Oregon
City The commission, he says, is
willing to pay its share of the portion
outside of the city.
Mr. Young surveyed three routes
for ihis road and made plans auU
estimates for the construction. Tho
best route, he says, is that ever the
old South End road taking the hill
route This route would cross the
bridge, going straight through to the
S. P. depot, go south two blocks to
5th street where an underground
crossing would have to be built. The
road would then follow up the hill and
along the bluff. A grade of six per
cent, which is less than the. grade on
the highway near Oswego, could be at
tained... The cost of taw route, Mr.
Young estimates at $162,176.
A route was surveyed aiong the
river which would follow the present
line past the mills. The cost of this
however, would be nearly $16,000 .
greater, due to the fact that cement
structures would have to be built
from the bank .in order to support a
widened road.
Due to the excessive cost of both
these routes, Mr. Young laved a loca-
i tion which would not reach such a
high figure. Altho this location is not
point should be tompleied by the
middle of the coming week. It was
slightly held up due to the fact that '
some poor , gravel was delivered,
which Mr. oYung rejected, necessitat
ing a delay until the proper material
could be secured upon the road.
If the 6.000 feet of road extending
from the West Linn bridge to Bolton
is not completed this year, the local
office will finish its work this Septem
ber, Mr. Young estimates This- por
tion of the read has not been definite
ly established, due to the fact that
it crosses a location of the proposed
Southern Pacific main line. If it is
decided to pave this portion this year,
the office will probably be kept in
operation until January 1, 1922. j
For the building of the Willamette i
as desirable it would provide a great
i improvement over the present route."
He planned to follow the existing Hn,
uslqg the present crossing at 3rd
street. The road would be widened.
and a better grade secured. This
could- be done at a cost of $96,500.
These figures, however do not in
clude hard surface, but merely the
laying of the sub grade, and the plac
ing of all structures so that the road
is actually ready to surface.
While the work in Clackamas county
has involved a large expenditure, the
results obtained have been worth
while, says Mr Young. The finest
type of road has been layed and the
highways that have been completed
undei the present building program
will be in good condition to 'give
service to generations of the future.
