ROAD CHANGE URGED
Control of State Highways
--and Bridges Advocated.
ENGINEER'S REPORT MADE
No Recommendation 18 Made as to
tillage Tax, but Advisability of
Slaking larger Appropriation
Put Up to Assembly.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 15. (Special.)
Recommending that the State Highway
Commission be given entire Jurisdiction
over all state roads, and the enactmen
of a provision fjiving that department
supervision of the design ana construe
tion of all bridges and culverts cost
im $500 or more. State Highway Engi.
near Bowlby has Issued his first annual
report with a resume of the work which
. has been accomplished during the first
18 months of the existence or the nign
wav department.
Mr. Bowlby further recommends that
a provision should be added to the pres
ent law makintr it possible for the stati
to acquire by condemnation or by gift
or purchase the right of way required
for the system or state roads.
"This." he says, "should provide
short, simple method by which the At
torney-General is authorized to onn
condemnation proceedings In all cases
where the right of way agent fails to
procure the deed by gift or for a rea
sonable compensation.
The hierhwav engineer makes
recommendations in regard to an In
crease of the levy for highway con
Etruction. He says:
The present law provides for a levy
of one-fourth of 1 mill for the state
road fund. This provides approximately
$240. 000 annually. I make no recom
mendatlons for a greater levy. Th
wisdom of making provision for
larger amount of money for construct
ing the state roads, it is hoped, will
. be apparent to the Legislature after
tbev have read this report.
In reviewing the work which ' has
been accomplished by the Highway
Commission, the report says:
"A system of state or trunk roads has
been adopted and a start. In a small
way, made toward the t construction o
this system. The rate at which tnes
trunk roads will be built and become of
use to the public is now only a question
of how fast the money is made avail
able for this purpose.
The financial statement of the Com
mission shows that there was availabl
in the highway fund November 1, 1914,
$r.9, $;. 88. Disbursements are shown t
have been 1188,974.72 and receipts 1248,
670.60.
Mr. Bowlby reports that a movemen
has been started to construct a road
from Portland to Mount Hood.
CEMENT PRICES JUMP
WII.I, INVESTIGATE
LOI H CONDITIO.
Only Two Companies Submit Traders
aa. The Are Similar, Thonica lO
Concerns Are In Field.
- A sudden discontinuance of compe
tition in the cement business, accom
panied by a rise in price, is to be the
subject of au investigation by City
Commissioner Blgelow and Municipal
Purchasing Agent Wood. Pending the
- investigation bids opened by the city
yesterday for 5000 barrels of cement for
- use in various public improvement
projects are to bo held up.
Although It Is said there are repre
sentatives of 10 different cement com'
panies In active business in Portland
only two bids were submitted for the
&000 barrels of cement wanted by the
city. These were identical, each quot
ing a price of $2.30 a barrel, with a re
ductfon of 10 cents for each empty sack
returned.
Up to the present it is said compe
tition seemed active in the cement bust
nesH. Cement dealers have complained
' .bitterly in the past that the city bought
all its cement from one concern, the
lilverside Portland Cement Company,
end for that reason it was expected
competition for the 5000 barrels the
city now seeks to buy would be keen.
The Riverside Company failed to sub
in it any bid, as did some of the concerns
that had complained before. The only
companies to bid were the Washington
3'ortland Cement Company and the
anta Cruz Portland Cement Company,
end the bids were 20 cents a barrel
lifgher than the city has paid for ce
ment at any time tn years.

WOLFMAN MAY QUIT CASE
Arson Indictments to lie Dropped if
Perjury Sentence Is Served.
A. TVolfman. convicted of perjury and
with two arson Indictments still
against him. will serve his term of
three to 10 years In tne rennenusrj
and will not appeal his case to the
Supreme Court, It was said yesterday.
The charge of perjury rose out of
Wolfman's repudiation of a confession
to the arson charge made to District
Attorney Evans.
Deputy District Attorney Collier, who
nmsecnted the case, agreed that if
Wolfman would serve his sentence he
would recommend his pardon at the
end of three years and would dismiss
the other two arson indictments. He
refused, however, to promise Immunity
from what might result from Investi
gations now being conducted Into a
fire at Second and Couch streets, where
a Japanese was burned to death more
than a year ago.

Albany Wants to Extend Area.
ALBANY. Or., Jan. 15. Special)
Albany will vote next Monday on
proposal to extend its city limits and
south and west of the city. Separate
elections will be held inside of the city
limits and within the territory which
It Is proposed to annex. Sentiment in
the city is in favor of the annexation,
but is feared by some that the proposal
may be rejected in the territory sought
to be annexed. Despite its rapid
growth in the past decade, Albany has
its present circumscribed limits for a
auarter of a century and much well-
settled territory is outside the, legal
limits.
Local Market Responds to Higher Prices In

A 10-cent advance In local sugar prices

Commenting on the sugar outlook for this
year Willett ft Gray say In their annual re
view;
"Looking ahead, the world's cane crop es
timates appear abundant for the require
ments from such crop to meet all demands,
and still a certain uncertainty exists that
some way or another, after the usual drop
In values from late January to March is

from abroad and at home to cause an ad

New York advices say that following large
orders for foodstuffs recently placed by
Great Britain and France in the United
States, it was learned that negotiations are
about completed for the purchase of 24,000,
000 cans of evaporated milk to be used in
feeding the armies of the Allies. As there
are four dozen cans to a case this means
that the shipment, which Is expected
begin in the next two or three weeks,, will
call for 500,000 cases, and figuring an aver
age of $3.15 a case t. o. b. New York, the
otal expenditure outside of commissions will
amount to $1,575,000. '
It is understood, says the New York Com
mercial, that this consignment will be made
up of four or five well-known brands made
In the United States. While the representa
tives of several condensed milk companies
In New York expressed Ignorance of the
pending negotiations for export. It was
learned that the Pacific Coast Condensed
Milk Company, which has large canneries
throughout the West, Is considering a bid for
100,000 cans of its brand, which has In the
past been shipped extensively to China.

-N.-ir.OT YORK. Jan. 15. The stock market
made considerable recovery today from its
inertia of the early part of the week. DaI
ings were larger and the movement broader.
Standard or representative shares made lit
tle progress, however, and were under pres
sure throughout the session. r
Most of the prominent International is
sues, particularly tho transcontinental the
metal stocks and United States Steel re
flected this condition, Canadian Pacific be
ing the only notable exception. That stock
became very active in the latter trading,
rising almost three points from Its early
low quotation. Missouri Pacific suddenly
became exteremely active at a greater ad
vance on rumors of substantial financial
backing.
Important gains omerwise wcic
confined chiefly to tne special
stocks. In some of which were evidences ot
pool manipulation. American Linseed, com
mon and preferred, was materially affected
by the high prices quoted for the raw
products. American Tobacco, Consolidated
Gas and the automobile and allied Issues
rose from one to three points, and there was
a five point gain in Vlrginia-carouna n
ical preferred. Western Union's continued
strength was explained by its very favor
able annual statement. Best prices and
greatest activity were witnessed In the final
Forecasts of another large cash gain by
local banks were accompanied by a re
duction in 60 and 00-day loans to 8 and 3Vi
ner cent, all lonfrer loans being made on
UMt per cent basis. Foreign exchange was
