That only counties which provide sub stantial funds with which, to build permanent roads will be aided from the state highway fund 'was he. decision reached by the State Highway Com mission today. In further outlining- its policy the Commission -announced that only permanent thoroughfares would be- built with the state highway fund. So far as the $170,000 remaining in the fund is concerned the Com mission virtually has decided that it will be distributed among those coun ties ythat have voted bonds and those that vote them at the coming election. This means that counties which are to be aided in hard-surface road build ing this year from the state fund are: Clatsop, Jackson and Columbia, coun ties, which have voted bonds, and Clackamas, Marion and Coos, if pro posed bond issues are approved Fri day. The proposed issue in Clacka mas, is $600,000; In Marion, $850,000, and in Coos. 9450,000.

BONUS GIVING BRANDED LANE COUNTY MANUFACTURERS ENJOY JUBILEE SPREAD. Scientific Promotion t Attract Capital and Favorable Legislation Urged by Laeal and Visiting Men. EUGENE, Or.. May 11. (Speeial.)- The adoption , of a mora definite pol icy relative to legislation af fectmj manufacturers in Oregon, the import ance of scientific co-operation in pro motion work to attract capital for the development of the natural resources of the state, the branding of "bonus giving" as a questionable method of interesting industry and the fostering of infant industries, especially by home consumption of Oregon products, were advocated by speakers at the banquet of the Lane County Manufacturers As sociation Saturday night. The dinner marked the close of i remarkable industrial exhibit held in Eugene and heralded the beginning of a campaign by local business men and the housewives toward making Eugene an industrial city, by giving support to lnoustnes already here. Hampering legislation was heavily scored as a factor which has delayed Oregon's progress from . an industrial standpoint. The Willamette Valley was pictured as a future manufacturing community, with vast natural resources and power facilities as a basis. Legis lation was urged which will encourage, rattier tnan frighten, the prospectlv manufacturer. R. W. Raymond, manager of the Ore gon Manufacturers Association, Portland; E. Hofer, editor of the Ore eon Manufacturer, of Salem; R. H. Crosier, assistant general passenge agent of the Oregon Electric; J. O. Holt, manager of the Eugene Fruit Growers' Association; A. Norman, vice-presiden and manager of the Oregon Powe Company, Eugene; Mark Woodruff, publicity agent of the P., E. & E., Port land, and J. E. Werlien, Portland Com mercial Club, were among the speakers. W. T. Iiingsley scored the Ore workingmens compensation act, declar' ing it a failure. ASOTIN MAN IS STABBED livestock Dealer and Hotel-keeper in Squabble. their own thoroughfares. Of the S238.OO0, the appropriation this year for the state highway funds. 30,000 was spent on the road between Wasco and Biggs late last Winter to give work to the unemployed. The en gineering expanse in Clatsop and Jack son counties, where the road work vir tually is in charge of State Highway Engineer Bowlby, will be abort $50,- 000 or $60,000, leaving about $170,000 for buying machinery and distribution among the counties that issue bonds and in other ways provide large sums for improving their thoroughfares. Announcement was made by the Com mission today that through the efforts the department Clatsop County, which has a $400,000 bond issue for road work, has been saved $75,000. At the suggestion of State Highway En gineer Bowlby the first bids for the bonds were rejected by the County Court, the highest being $20,000 less than was finally received. The low est bid at first for building a certain thoroughfare was $280,000. which Major Bowlby said was too much. Later the same company bid $246,000 and the State Highway Engineer said that was too high. It finally agreed to do the work for $225,000, and was awarded the contract. The decision of the Board today to aid only those counties which aid themselves is an argument in favor of the approval of the bond issues to be voted on next Friday in. Marion, Coos and Clackamas counties. If the bonds are authorized these counties will hare in the distribution of. the $170,- 000. If not, they will not get any of the state highway fund this year.
