SEASIDE ROAD PLAN Lawrence Therkelsen Has Fine Highway Idea. GREAT BENEFIT IS SEEN Proposal Is to Build Way for Autos Through Multnomah, Columbia ' and Clatsop Counties, Enlisting; ' Commissioners In Work. Lawrence Therkelsen, one of the most enthusiastic members of the Portland Automobile Club, hss been devoting most of his spare time during the past two or three -weeks to Interesting the suto lsts In the need of a suitable thorough fare from Portland to Seaside. The campaign has been agitated for several years, but there has never been anything like a concerted movement, and this Mr. Therkelsen plans to promote. Auto roads have been one of the prin cipal transportation Improvements es tabllshed In Multnomah County since tha Inception' of the Portland Automobile Club In 190S. and the Improvements worked by this organization have been beneficial ,to the community. Mr. Therkelsen, in taking up this movement to secure the building of a first-class highway to Seaside, believes that he Is doing a meritorious service for the com munity, and all of the business men of Portland who are cognisant of his Idea have sanctioned it with pledges of moral as well aa financial support. It Is proposed to build the road through Multnomah, Columbia and Clatsop coun ties, and to enlist the aid of the County Commissioners of these communities. and at the same time call upon the autoists to help the movement along. With a first-class highway to the sea the autoists ran leave Portland at any time and within three or four hours ar rive at Seaside after enjoying one of the prettiest and most attractive rides In the West. The benefits to be derived from such a road are figured to be I mense, and all of the autoists of Port land are rapidly seconding Mr. Tberkel sen's movement. If the movement meets with the accord expected it is proposed to start work on the road early In the Spring, with the -hope that it will be completed beiore next August.

JURY HEARS VERSIONS STATE CANNOT ACTUALLY PROVE GUILT OF ELLEXSOX. Borne Movement Are Accounted for In Trial on Charge of Murdering County Official at Union. LA GRANDE. Or., Dec. 20. (Special.) Even though the trial of T. R. Ellexson, accused of murdering Deputy County As sessor Waldo Perry at Union. September 11, Is but a day old, the dilvding line, the crossroads' where the Jury will agree one way or the other, or disagree has already been clearly defined. Though the state hopes to weave a. perfect mesh of direct and unimpeachable evidence about the defendant that brings him up to Telocae et at 6 or 7 o'clock on the evening of September 11 and again picks up the line of direct and convincing evidence at I o'clock the next morning, it has not and sdmits it cannot connect Hllexson with the crime be is accused of, through the medium of an eye-witness. Neither, ap parently, can the defense prove an alibi during the hours mentioned, and there the matter stands. The Jury will be called upon to decide whether to believe the story of the de fendant that he slept at Tetocasset during the hours cited or be convinced by the string of circumstantial evidence indi cating that Instead of sleeping at a lum ber pile at Telocasset, he stole down the canyon, fired the five shots at Perry and. locking the doar carefuly as he left the house, crept back up to Telocasset and made hi presence known there to the station agent. That. In brief. Is the task to be cut out for the Jury. Ellexson left Baker, was seen at North Powder, where he said he was going to Union, and at 7 o'clock that night was at Telocasset, six miles from the Perry ranch. .The de fense maintains be slept there until 3 the next morning.
