WEST IS ON PROGRAMME Work of Highway Building to North Discussed and Benefits to Accrue From Visit of Secretary Lane Are Reviewed. On his way to Eureka, Cal., where he Is to preside over a good roads conven tion, at which Governors Johnson of California and West of Oregon are also on the programme. Governor Lister of Washington passed through Portland yesterday. During the 20-minute stay of the Shasta Limited In Portland, Governor Lister stood democratically out on the depot platform and talked with news paper men on a variety of topics. One topic he declined to discuss in any way. however, was the action of voters of Clarke Countq, Wash., last week, in voting $500,000 bonds for the Colum bia River bridge, a project to which he applied the veto after the Washington Legislature had approved it last Winter. "My attitude in regard to the bridge has been set forth so often that I don't care to discuss it now," was the Gover nor's comment. In almost his next sentence., how ever, he added: "I certaintly shall do everything in my power to bring about the completion by 1815 of the Pacific Highway from the southern end of California' to the northern boundary of Washington, without a break in the entire route. It will be a wonderful advertisement for the Pacific Coast States, and especially for Oregon and Washington, to have this great road completed and ready for service from one end to the other." Hlfsirsr Route Ineeted. The Governor Is an ardent good roads enthusiast. He said that since the Legislative session he has personally been over every foot of the route of the raciflc Highway in Washington, "by auto, or in an old wagon behind an old horse." as he Jokingly put it. "About 300.ooo in appropriations Is available for this highway," said the Governor, "and work is In progress now. Portland autolsts will be espe cially interested In knowing that one stretch or road to be Improved at once is that between Woodland and La Cen ter. Wash. What is rather a bad sec tion of roadway, at present. Is to be made one of the finest highways in th state." The Governor and his nrivata tary. J. W. Ziegens. an ex-newspaperman, who is accompanying him, will leave the Shasta Limited at Redlands. Cal.. today to take an automobile for me is-mue ride to Eureka. The meeting at which Governor T.is- ter Is to preside at Eureka is called the "Three States Good Roads Meet ing," and will be In session Tuesday and Wednesday.

"As I understand It. the work of this proposed association is to be along general lines, with development of good roads throughout the three states In mind, rather than the building of a single road like the Pacific Highway," Governor Lister explained. "I think gatherings of this nature do great good. The cause of good roads is coming to take the place of Importance that it should In the pa cific Coast States, and such conven tions help to arouse the necessary in terest, as well as to bring officials of one state in contact with those of the others. The interchange of ideas can not help but be mutually beneficial. "In Washington I have been striv ing especially to bring the good roads efforts of county and city authorities Into harmony with each other. The work of the State Highway Commis sion, with its general supervision over all road matters, has done much to bring the various authorities into ac cord." I.aae'a Visit Dlaeuaaed. Governor Lister Is enthusiastic over the present Western trip of Secretary of the Interior Lane, which, he says, will be productive of great good for the West. He has been a personal friend of the Secretary since 1883, when Mr. Lane was editor of the Tacoma News. Tacoma is the Gov. ernor's home town. "Lane understands conditions in the West," said Governor Lister, "and when he makes a trip of this kind, it is as a man who has the general knowledge already, -going over the ground to become acquainted with ex act conditions." From Eureka, the Governpr and tats secretary will go on to San Francisco to confer with the Washington Fair Commission relative to the building to be put up on the Washington State site, and the Washington exhibit. Thence tbey will go to Colorado Springs. Colo., where Governor Lister will attend the conference of Gov ernors, which opens there on Aug ust 26.
