E. I. CANTINE MADE
HIGHWAY ENGINEER
John Lewis, Deposed, Says at
Present He Intends No Suit
to Determine Duties.
OPINIONS ON LAW VARY
Measure Enacted at Recent Session
of Legislature Cited by Mr. Olcott
in Opposing Change ; Work.
Begun Since May 22 Affected.
SAJLEM, Or., June 15. (Special.)
John H. Lewis, State Engineer, was
deposed as State Highway Engineer
today by a resolution adopted by the
State Highway Commission, and B. I.
Cantine, chief deputy of Mr. Lie wis, was
placed in charge of all highway work
Initiated after My 22 last. State
Treasurer Kay offered the resolution,
and Governor Withycombe voted with
him for it.
Secretary of State Olcott opposed the
resolution on the ground that Attorney-General
Brown had held, under
the highway law passed at the recent
session of the Legislature, that Mr.
Lewis was the active highway engi
neer. Mr. Lewis said he would confer
with the Attorney-General regarding
the action of the Board, declaring that
at present he had no intention of bring
ing suit to determine his duties. The
resolution is as follows:
"It Is hereby ordered that E. I. Cantine.
Chief Deputy State Engineer, take direct
charge and supervision of all- construction
work now being: performed upon roads in the
several counties, under orders of the State
Highway Commission and upon which pay
ments are made from the State Highway
fund, excepting, however, the construction
work In those counties being performed
-under contracts entered Into previous to
May 22, 1915, or where the counties are in
direct charge of said road construction. It
is also ordered that Mr. Cantine make full
and complete reports regarding such work
monthly to the State Highway Commission,
furnishing copies of same to the State High
way Engineer.
Governor Withycombe and v State
Treasurer Kay, being of the opinion
that the State Highway Commission is
the governing authority, construe the
law passed by the recent Legislature
merging the state highway department
and State Engineer's department as
transferring certain duties of the State
Highway Engineer to the State En
gineer, but giving the supervision of
the highway work to the chief deputy,'
appointed by the Governor, and a man
supposed to be an authority on road
building. Mr. Lewis asked the Attorney-General
for an opinion relating to
the act, which is somewhat complicat
ed, and when informed by that official
that the duties of the State Highway
Engineer were transferred to him, took
active charge of the road work. Mr.
Kav said:
"The Highway Commission is vested
with complete power in highway con
struction, according to my construction
of the law. I believe the new law in
tended that the chief deputy, who is
appointed by the Governor, shall have
charge of all highway work and that
the Highway Engineer has no authority
In road work, except that delegated to
him by the Commission. I think the
law recognizes that the State Engineer
Is not. versed in road construction and
never intended that he should have
charge of it." 1
Mr. Olcott said he saw no harm in
Mr. Lewis having charge of the road
work and that he would abide by the
opinion of the Attorney-General.
Mr. Lewis having intimated that he
would not institute suit to have the
resolution declared invalid. It Is be
lieved that Mr. Cantine henceforth will
be the active highway engineer. V
The Commission changed the name of
the Columbia Highway to the Columbia
River Highway to prevent confusion
with, another highway having the for
mer name.

Portland would receive enough to meet
the requirements of persons seeking
the information. These instructions

MAN SUED FOR SUPPORT OP HIS
CHILD IS SUSTAINED.
Technicality Is Protection From What
Orrgon Supreme Tribunal Inti
mates Is Moral Duty.
SALEM, Or., June 15. (Special.)
Because the California decree was not
final the Supreme Court today. Justice
McBrlde writing the opinion, affirmed
ex-Circuit Judge Harris, of Lane Coun
ty, in the case of Nathan Rowe against
Jessie Rowe, appellant, declining to
compel the plaintiff to provide $20 a
month for maintenance of his child.
Mrs. Rowe obtained a divorce in Cali
fornia, being awarded the custody of
her minor child and $20 a month for
its maintenance. After the husband
moved to this state the ex-wife filed
suit to compel him to pay the money.
Judge Harris, 'now a Supreme Court
Justice, after the ex-husband had de
murred to the suit, but failed to plead
further, gave judgment tor the ex-wife.
Then Rowe brought suit to set aside the
judgment on the ground that the de
cree was not a final one under the
laws of California. The Supreme Court
says:
"The decree of the Circuit Court will,
therefore, have to be affirmed, but
while we find ourselves unable by rea'
son of the law to compel plaintiff in
this proceeding to support his minor
child his conduct in' refusing to do so
is morally so repugnant to our sense
of what decency requires of him under
the ciroumstances that we will not re
quire defendant . to pay the costs of
this appeal."
Other opinions today were as follows:
Anna Graf vs. J. N. Pearcy, appellant;
appealed from Multnomah County; motion
to dismiss appeal allowed.
State of Oregon ex rel F. S. Ivanhoe;
motion to tax costs of suit to oust John S.

Samuel Delovage vs. Old Oregon Cream

Sumpter Valley Railway Company, ap
pellant; appealed from Baker County; re
lates to whether plaintiff's right of action
had abated; suit dismissed.
F. P. Williams vs. Pacific Surety Com
pany, appellant; appealed from Multnomah
County; action to recover damages for
breach of contract; modified.
In the matter of the guardianship of
