Who tho "eoad J'ltor" mar bo Mr. Bristol does not say. lie rails attention In the recent opinion tf th Attnroer-Ooceral to tho effect that count! may ewnd themsWre for good roa.l under tho constitutional provision. Mr. ttrlstol contends that the bills paoed by the wruniur. ana vetoed by the Governor were "against the law. not In conformity to law. and routd not have by any possibility ac complished the purposes whlrh air. ai trt asserts they were Intended to do.' llcply Calmly Considered." Vr. Brletnl refers, la openln. to tho charge male br Mr. Albert and de rlarea that time has been taken to con sM.r calmly tho reply that should bo mado for the Information of tno public lie continues: -Since, the artlc'.o was printed tho Cor ere or of tho State of Oregon has Informed tho people that bo vetoed t,e rood roads bills because in his Juug merit that was tho proper thin a" to do and that be did this without the tollrt. tatlon or direction of anyona whomso. er-r. In bla hlchly Indignant attitude and with a careless use of languar Mr. Albert rbaraea wholesale deceit practiced npoa tho Governor in Indue Inc him so to act. but tbo fact la that txth Mr. Albert and bis contemporary coadjutor called upon tho Uorernor In the Interest of tho highway commission Mil and personally solicited the Got ernor to approve tho same and broach t to bear all tho Influenco they could to accompli. ri that end. "AI this aspect of tho case, wo cam look for a moment for tho motive of tho scurrilous and opprobrious atate meat proceeding- from Mr. Albert. Mr. Albert seems to bo tbo president of tha Capitol National Rank, of Salem. To tho fund of approximately too raised tr tha Good Roads Association. Mr. Albert never contributed a dollar, so far aa tho records of that association show. Ills contemporary coadjutor re reived In salary out of this sum 1 2 70S. and. la addition to that, sundry travel Inn expenses, and they toitether. In connection with then current newspaper reporta, were prominently mentioned aa two Individuals to compose tha Board of Highway Commissioners and their going to tho Governor to solicit tho ap proval of that bill Inferentlal'.y force the conclusion that Mr. Albert naturally expected and desired to become one of the hlsrhway commissioners of tha Stat of Oregon. Attorncr-Ccnrral's View Cited. "Ttarlntf hn Informed from Mr. Al " bert himself that the statement In your paper quotes him correctly, and from tha Governor that both Mr. Albert and lits esteemed contemporary coadjutor called npon htm In tho Interest of tha hlsrhway commission bill, tt remains to notice the foolish attitude In which Mr. Albert is placed by his hasty re marks. Section 1 of article XI of the constitution of tha State of Oregon pro vides, among other thins;, that coun ties may Incur debts for permanent roads on approval of a majority of those voting on tho question, and tha Attorney-Genera of tho stats of Ore on. in a recnt opinion called forth from Judge Culbertaon. of Hood Ttlver. tia held that this provision of tha constitution was self-esecutlnr and re quired no legislation In aid of Ita pur pose. Mr. Aibert In hi general state ment of rhars-es did not Impute tha character of faker to the Attorney-General and he ha overlooked, therefore, the fact that there are lawyers In the state who dl-atrr-e with the method of legislating which he so caustically sup ports. It would be better for wrongful Intiicnatlon. If entertained, to keep tt self within the bound of legitimate fact. "So. In coins; further Into this mat ter, all reasonable persons look some what at tn map of experience, and Mr. Albert in running a bank doubtless has that decree of Intellectual capacity which demonstrates the Inexpediency of ependtna money to no jcood purpose, and had he. at the time that ha rushed Into print, examined the protrrrts of Ive-tsUtlon In our sister State of Wash ington he would have found that tha very elements of tha hlsrhway commis sion which ha so strenuously supports received condemnation by the defeat of tha Mc.Veeley bill at tha recent session at t-lTmpla. and tha the Legislature of that state refused to appropriate money alone tha lines of legislation csUculated to glv a supervisory con trol to a commission whose only pur pose was maatnsr sxpenslva surveys and compiling data to make expensive repairs In the snaps of printer's bills to tha neat session of the Legislature. Highway Commissioner Created. "An examination of tha hlsrhway commission bill, produced as It was finally from tho "1 louse of YVIsdora' at Salem, shows It to ba a bill Just as the committee bavins; tt under considera tion for tha rood roads people reported It to be. namely, a bill that really cre ated a hlcbway commissioner, who. of cearts. should have tho assistance of Mr. Aibert and his esteemed contem porary coadjutor la the duties of yrn erai supervision.' which that commis sioner was deaismed to exercise, and a readme of the bill by any reasonable person and It must be assumed that the legislators of Ore r on are reason able persons showed that to their minds the only rood purpose a high way commissioner could subserve was to perform such duties aa tha county courts might request of hlra. -la tha effort of our sister Stats of "Washington to obtain a centralized maaaa-ement and control In tha projec tion, construction and maintenance of publlo highway they had endeavored to avoid tha continuous process of dis connected methods of management In duced by tho several bodies of County Commissioners agd County Courts And tha ortsrlnal desi'a of the legislation of this stat vai to sect away from tha misdirection and absence of connected road build tna: carried on under tha methods of our own County Court and t'.ereby secur a eentrallted system of roads for the state.

DOUBLE TRACK TO BE LAID AT ONCE Contractors Put 500 Men to Work Between Deschutes and Blalocks. MUCH GRADING NECESSARY Jfexr Line Will Not Follow Course of Colombia Kltcr as Closely aa Old One Need of Added. FacililLc Pressing. Double trarklnr and reconstructing; of th O.-W. R. A N. main line between Pe scutes and Blalocks, a distance of 2t miles, wa begun yesterday mornlnr by a fore of 600 men In tba employ of Twohy Bros railroad contractor of Portland. Th work will be hastened In all de partments In an effort to have It com pleted before Juno 10, th end of th present fiscal year. Th contractor established their camp alonir th rout of tha projected development last week and gradually assembled their men until they hsd a force sufficiently larsr to tart exten sive operation. While many prelimi nary detail wer completed last week. the actual construction work did not be cln until yesterday. Considerable (trading will be neces sary to make room for the second set of rails and In some places the contract calls for the construction, virtually, of aa entire new double-tracked road. Grades and Curve to Go. Plan prepared by Oeorira W. Hoech k. chief enitlneer of th O.-W. R.' & N. Company construction department, call for tha elimination of much curvature and many noticeable grade from on end ot thl contract to tha other. A a whole th new Una will not follow the Columbia. River aa closely as th old. seeking a straight course rather than the banks of th etream. . Most of the work for the next few week will be done on the west end of the project. Camp will be established later at points farther east. Construc tion work along part of thl rout will be somewhat alow, a th lava rock and sand hill combine to form many mile of difficult track building. With th completion of thi project and those now under way the O.-W. R. tc X. main Una will be double-tracked all the way to Stanfleld, with the ex ception ot a stretch of 47 miles between Bonneville and The Ealles and a piece J miles In length between Blalocks and Coyote. This work Is In accord ance with the general double-tracking Plan announced by the board of direc tors of the Union Pacific and Southern Paclflo systems at their secent meet ing In New York, when they voted an appropriation of 176,000,000 for these purpose. Other Work Provided For. Th new Una from Portland to Trout- dale, Including the Peninsula tunnel, will erv as a second main line for th Brat 1 mile east from Portland. The construction of double tracks from Troutdale to Bonnevllln, 23 miles, al ready has been provided for, and work there will start In time to have It com pleted before the end of the present year. Th gap between Bonneville and The Dalles, It 1 expected, will be taken up for completion before the end of the next fiscal year. The most difficult portion of the re construction scheme 1 that between Blalocks and Coyote, which has not been .provided for definitely. Thl stretch Includes some heavy grade and decided curves, all of which the en gineering, department hopes to elimi nate. The Coyote-Stanfleld cutoff, leaving Umatilla off the main line, haa been under consideration for a long time and actual operations there are ex pected to begin within th present year, although 'this has not been authorized. Horseshoe Tunnel Is feature. The Toakura-Pendleton cut-off Is nearlng completion and will be turned over to tha operating department with in a few months. The principal feature of this piece of work la th Horseshoe tunnel, that takes th place of the Horseshoe curve, cutting oft consider able distance and much ourvature. Although the plans provide for the eventual double tracking of the entire road from Portland to Huntington, It It unlikely that any work east of Pen dleton will be done for several years. The portion of the line that Is most used Is that between Umatilla and Port land, as at Umatilla the line connects with the roads of Southeastern Wash ington and Northern Idaho, carrying the heavy grain shipments of those sections to this city. Th need for a double track on the weat end of th line la urgent and this will be com pleted before the road from Pendleton to Huntington Is further considered. DIRECT rCLLMAX IS FUIXXED Service to Denver Without Change Under Discussion. Direct car service from Portland to Denver via the Denver Rio Grande Railroad la th plan that W. C McBiide, general agent for that road In this city. Is endeavoring to carry into effect. Enough passenger business Is handled out of Portland for points on the Denver 4b Rio Grande to fill a standard Pullman car. Mr. McBrlde declares, and he points out th conveniences to the traveling public of having accommodations that would not require a change of cars at Often or Salt Lake City, as at present. lis ba taken up the subject with offi cial of tha O.-W. B. A N. Co. and of he Pullman Company, and hope Boon to be able to. announce the through serv ice. While it la aimed to continue th operation of the through car throughout the year.- it 1 desired especially In the Bummer time. The Denver Rio Grande Is advertised aa a great acenlo route, and person tour- ng th country are solicited to make t least one transcontinental trip over It. If Mr. ilcBrlde succeeds In Inaugurat ing this service a corresponding west bound ear from Denver to Portland also will be put on. Throush Pullman service between Port land and Denver has been In effect over tha Union Pacific. Oregon Short Line and O.-W. R. N. combination and pvrr tho Burlington and Northern Paclflo for many years. With the increase of busi ness between this city and Bastern point the additional service over the other road is considered advisable. The pro posed routing is via Pocatello, Ogdea and Salt Lake City, leaving Portland on O. W. R A N. train No. IS at 10 A. M. and riiving In Denver at 11:90 P. M, th third day.

Colonel Richard son arrived In Portland yesterday morn- Ins:, and leave tomorrow for Seattle, going thence to Valdes. Alaska., whera he will outline th affair of tn Aiasxa Roads Commission for th coming Sum mer. 'The conservation of the Alaska coal. continued Colonel Richardson, "in view of th fact that United States battleships have to use coal brought from West Vir ginia, is on of the most criminal things that haa aver been perpetrated In the continent of North America. Whil there s no apparent reason for placing a neei of battleships on the Paclflo Coast at thl time, It la well. within the bound nt nrnhahilltv that a sauadron will b placed on this Coast within the next two years. "We carcely want to feel a repetition of the humiliation with which we wer afflicted when the fleet of battleships took It famous trip around the world and the fuel had to be dragged around the Horn In foreign-bottomed ships. De spite sttements to the contrary. It yet remain to b proven that ther is" any coal on the Paclflo Coast that contains the necessary amount of steaming quali ties to make it fit for consumption In battJeahln or cruiser, ine only coai that ha stood th test so far.

That is a record that ought to mean a great deal to the man who is in the market for a car that costs $3000 or over. There is a reason for these big sales for the Pope Hartford. Pope Hartford owners are keen to tell others of the immense satisfaction they enjoy in the ownership and use of their Pope Hartfords. Cars are comfortable cars. They are easy riding. The motor is respon sible for this fact. Pope Hartford motors are strong. They are powerful. They develop considerably more power than their rating 50 H. P.
