ton, members of the Senate and House
of the Oregon Legislature and various
others, to Maryhill Farm in Klickitat
County, Washington, on a special train

Inspection of the convict-built road
near Lyle, Wash.; viewing the excel
lent highways at Maryhill. speeches by
Mr. Ilil!. Governor Lister and others
while there, were features of the- trip.
"There Is no doubt in my mind but
that this trip, so graciously given, will
result in a great deal of good to Ore
gon road legislation." declared Dan J.
Malarkey. President of the Senate.
Road Building; Declared Art.
While the Legislature is considering
road legislation which gives the Coun
ty Court virtually all of the authority
in constructing highways under bond
ing acts. Mr. Hill sounded a note of
warning. Saying that he would not en
trust this construction work In the
hands of any save an expert; that not
even a man who could build a trans
continental railroad could build a
good country road and said he had
proved this at an expense of $2000 at
his farm, when he left a railroad en
gineer in charge and told him to make
a road in a certain place.
Governor Lister expressed positive
opinions on good roads, saying he
favors them, but he said he does .not
favor the issuance at this time of large
amounts of bonds for the purpose. He
declared it to be his firm belief that
the first thing to do is to learn how
to build highways and then, he said,
it is time to issue the necessary bonds.
Among the chief speakers at Mary
hill was Frank Terrace, master of the
King County Grange, who told of the
creat good that had resulted from
highway building from White Kiver
t alley to Seattle. He said the best
investment Is in roads and that noth
ing, not even the tariff, is as impor
Uint to the country.
Lister Does Honors.
Go'ernor Lister welcomed the Ore
gon delegation at Vancouver, telling
mem that he knew that Oregon and
Washington must co-operate in this
matter, as in all others, and he wished
the Oregon men on board a happy and
profitable day. The Governor was a
most popular member of the party, re
maining with the train all day and
leaving for Olympla this morning.
Governor West was unable to accom
pany the delegation and sent George
K. Rodsers, ex-Mayor of Salem, to rep
resent him.
The special train, equipped with
diners and every possible conveni
ence, left Portland at 9 o'clock in the
morning and returned to the city at
8 P. M. Luncheon was served at noon
and dinner at S o"clock, and a buffet
luncheon was ready all day.
A stop was made at Lyle. where the
party looked at the work done by con
victs under the administration of ex
Uovernor Hay. but which was aban
doned by him before completion. It was
10 nave oeen a link between Lyle and
Walla Walla.
Prom Lyle the visitors proceeded
by train to Maryhill. where they were
met by a dozen automobiles. While
they were leaving the train motion
Pictures were taken. They were then
Irlven over the splendid roads which
were built under direction of Mr. Hill.
Several stops were made in order that
Mr. Hill might point out various fea
tures. Credit Glvea Mr. Hill.
Arriving at Maryhill Farm, short
speeches were made by Mr. Hill Gov
ernor Lister, Frank Terrace and George
F. Rodgera. Many farmers were pres
ent and some of them told briefly of
the great benefits they have derived
from t)e roads built by Mr. HI1L All
of them gave him the credit for the
work.
air. lerrace gave some facts as to
now the farmers in White River Val
ley. King County, had been benefited
oy tne construction of good roads
mere. He said that it was largely
- tnrough the efforts of Mr. Hill, who
toon tne Washington Legislature there
eight years ago and got the members
interested oy driving them over al
most Impassable roads and dumping a
few of thena Into the mud. He declared
that good roads have been of untold
benefit to the farmers.
-Mr. aiaiarkey expressed hops that
tne uregon Legislature will enact
some measures enabling the state to
amid gooa roaas without delay.
Governor Lister said he favored
roads not less than 16 feet wide and
the laying of permanent foundation
for all roads; but is opposed to any
work that has no permanent basis. He
expressed the belief that the great fu
ture of Oregon and Washington de
pends upon good roads more than any
other one thing. He said that the
farmers favor good roads and will sup
port the movement If they are assured
they will get a dollar's worth of road
for every dollar expended.
Rodsera Speak for Gavermor Unt.
"It is my firm belief." concluded the
Governor, "that we need more actual
development in Oregon and Washing
ton and. if anything, less outside ad
vertising." Mr. Kodgers. on behalf of Governor
West, thanked Mr. Hill for his work
in connection with good roads and
expressed the belief that within 10
years Oregon win have a good sys
tem of highways.
Upon a motion of State Senator
Joseph, an unanimous vote of thanks
was given Mr. Hill for his kindness
in taking the party to Maryhill and
in explaining hie roads to the mem
bers oi the Legislature.
While returning to Portland a song
was composed by Representative Par
sons, of Lane County, and was sung to
Mr. Hill by a quartette to the tune
of "Oregon, My Oregon." as follows:
To you. Smra Hill, we look with pride.
Old Oregon Is by your side.
Our host today has taught us some
Good roads to build In Oregon.

KELLAHER TALK HEARD
KID' SKATERS S K I M
MAYORALTY RUMORS GATHER
ING VOLUME.
RushUcht Adherents Declare East
Side Senator Would Not Op
pose Present Executive.
The rumor that Dan Kellaher ia to
be a candidate for Mayor of Portland
will not down. With Mayor Rushlight
In California on his honeymoon, which
may be extended by a trip to Hawaii,
the Kellaher talk is gathering volume,
and it Id predicted in some quarters
that even before he returns from the
Legislature, where he Is serving as
a Senator, the rotund East Side booster
will toss his hat Into the ring.
While Mr. Rushlight has not yet an
nounced himself, his silence : is con
strued to mean nothing but that he
will be found fighting with Lombard
and &Iagulre for the Republican nom
ination when the primary . campaign
opens up a few weeks hence. At the
same time, it Is predicted. Kellaher will
be before the people for the nomination
of the Progressive party. As the law
now stands, the Progressives are not
entitled, according to the number of
votes cast in Portland at the late gen
eral election, to hold a primary. But
a bill is now before the Legislature
which aims to amend the primary law
so that 20 Instead of 5 per cent of the
total vote cast for Representative In
Congress will suffice.
If this bill passes it will become pos
sible for the Bull Moose organization
to participate in the primary May 8.
Those who are basking in the as
surance that "there Is nothing to It but
Rushlight" scoff at the Idea that two
men who have been as good political
friends as have Rushlight and Kellaher
will be found opposing each other.
Nevertheless, those who think they can
see the first faint flushes of a Kellaher
boom in the political East Insist that
ambition has broken up many a happy J
family.

With the sky clear and with real

serve as rinks for the children. At

restrictions upon autos and motorcycles
to make quite safe the sport of the
youngsters.
Chairman of Bridge Committee En
phasizes Importance to Oregon
of Having Law Authoriz
ing Construction.
Applying peculiarly to the particular
demands of an Interstate boundary
bridge, and effectively distinguished
from legislation relating to other coun
ty and state bonding schemes for tne
construction and maintenance or high
ways within the state borders, the
bill which will make it possible for
Oregon to meet the State of Washing
ton halfway m tne construction 01 w
proposed Columbia River bridge at
Vancouver, will be turned over to the
joint committee of the Legislature on
roads, highways and bridges today by
Frank B. Klley, cnairman ot tne inter
state bridae committee.
Not only does this bill provide for
the construction of the great Bridge
which is in immediate prospect, but it
will make possible the construction of
all other Interstate Boundary Drioges
as need may arise, and win be avail
able to all of the 11 boundary counties
of Oregon.
Submission to Be Soon.
This bill, prepared at the request of
the Joint committee on roads, highways
and bridges in the Legislature, proo
ably will be submitted to the Legisla
ture Immediately with their lull in
dorsement. since it was at their unani
mous request at a conference Friday,
that it was redrafted into Its present
form by the interstate bridge commit
tee.
In the State of Washington the plan
for a direct appropriation for the Con
struction of the Washington half of
the Columbia bridge is now fully ma
tured. and only awaits the assurance
that Oregon will provide means to
meet Washington hair way in tne
work, for the Washington Legislature
to take the final steps in making it
effective.
Washington Is prepared to do her
share," said Frank B. Riley, last night.
and Is aiming to do it by means of a
direct appropriation, although the cen
ter of her population Is not near van
couver. Oregon can do no less man
meet Washington half way.
The bridge bill does not seek to de
mand a direct appropriation for the
bridge, but Multnomah County Is pre
pared to assume the burden and mere
ly is asking from the state the right
to do so. After the bridge is completed,
the title Is to be vested In the state
and the bridge is to be under state' con
trol.
Other Counties May Benefit.
"The bill we are offering Is purely
a bridge bill, unrelated to any other
proposed road legislation of the state
and not to be confused with the pro
visions for county and state bonding
for construction of roads and high
ways on the land. It is particularly
designed for us'e in the encouragement
of construction of Interstate boundary
bridges, and also will be effective for
use In the other boundary counties
where trade demands their linking
with communities of adjacent states
through the medium of bridges."

Cf Hundreds of housewives of Portland are enthusiastic users of
the famous all-purpose Flour Fisher's Blend, but recently
introduced to this market by our Pure Food Grocery.
IThe superiority of Fisher's Blend is due to it's scientifically
combined milling of Eastern HARD wheat and Western SOFP
wheat. This process, as perfected by The Fisher Flouring
Mills Co., brings together the distinct forms of nutriment from
both these grades of wheat resulting not only in white, clean
bread, but bread more healthful and wholesome.
IJ Fisher's Blend costs a trifle more than ordinary Flour, but
the increased satisfaction more than justifies that your next
order for Flour be "Fisher's Blend." Sold here only in Port
land. Pure Food Grocery, Basement
