TITE MOnMXG OREGOXIAN. MONDAY, JUIYT 12. 1915. 9 PLEA MADE FOR OIL DN PACIFIC HIGHWAY Colonel Hofer Says Western Oregon Must Take Action or Lose Tourists. ROADS IN FAIR CONDITION Tl"ith Little Expenditure, Salem Man fcays, Ttonte Clan Be Made Vell XI gh Perfect Reported Mud Is 3"ot Found on Trip. BT COLONEL B. HOFER. ROSEBURG, Or., July 11. Much has "been said In Southern Oregon papers about some mysterious influence at Portland seeking to divert tourist travel from the Pacific Highway. What are the facts? Starting after nearly a week of showers, .34 of an inch falling at Sa lem in one day and a great deal more in the mountains, would be a good time to discover Impassable, con ditions between Portland and Ashland Beginning with the late State High Tray Engineer's bad advertisement of the Pacific Highway and followed by Sam Hill's expressed preference for north and south route through Central Oregon, the main roads of Western -Oregon have got an undeserved repu tation. The unrefrigerated facts are that Western Oregon counties, from Clatsop to Curry on the coast, and the double tier of counties between the coast range and the Cascades, have better main roads and have more miles of graded, graveled and rocked roads than any similar group of mountainous counties of equal wealth and popula tion in the United States, saying noth ing about their enormous area. Clat sop. Tillamook, Lincoln, Lane. Douglas. Jackson and Klamath have emptied their treasuries and plunged into debt for good roads. Polk, Yamhill, Benton and Clackamas have done likewise, and Marion has made a start. Overzealous good-roads enthusiasts and Impatient get-roada-quick-at-any-prlce millionaires, say nothing can be done but by state bond issues. They constantly give the impression that 'Western Oregon has no roads fit for motoring. This with the Bowlby letter to Seattle for a starter and a lot of boosting for other routes and knocking cf the Pacific Highway has doubtless kept thousands from touring through Western Oregon. Of course, after the rains of last week, the roads were more or less rough, but on Saturday in motoring over 200 miles from Portland south, through forests and over three ridges of mountains, we found no mud. no difficult places and a great deal of fine driving. Many Road Oiled. The main roads through Polk County are beautifully oiled. In contrast with Marion County, where the finely graded and graveled Pacific Highway from Aurora to Salem, is being cut up and blown away for lack of a few car loads of crude oil. It seems to be a geographic fact that as you approach a state capital, where half the public money of the commonwealth Is ex pended, signs of distress and poverty appear In the condition of the high ways. Multnomah", that pays one-third the state taxes, spends most on high ways. Marion, that gets the greatest sums from the state, spends the least on main state roads. Salem people should take this pointer from me un less they do get a move on for oiling the Pacific Highway, they will lose tourist as well as state travel. The main north and south roads from Port land to Eugene, via Corvallis. are oiled and smoothly taking the traffic. They offer, besides,, a wealth of semi-mountainous scenery from Portland to Spencer's Butte, dustless roads that make the 125-mile drive possible in a big half-day with comfort and safety. It has been driven In four and one-half hours. Finer scenery and oiled roads drawing away , traffic, may break the civic stupor of even Marion County, to say nothing of loss of business to hotels, garages and banks. For they do say motor travel puts a flood of perfectly good checks in circulation. The effect of better roads on the West Side is noticeable In more pretty, modern homes, more painted buildings, more orchards and finer dairy herds. The undevelopment condition of the eastern side of the valley la due main ly to chronic indifference ,to state of highways. Part of Road Oiled. The West Side Pacific Highway is oiled about half the distance from Port land to Monroe and well graveled from Monroe to Junction, where we strike some of the crushed rock roads built by Lane County the past five years. Approaching Creswell we cross the his torical Camas Swale, where in pioneer days a toll road was maintained as a great enterprise. Its owner collected i from each team that came across. Not many years since Lane County was forced to buy back the old toll road. It Is now macadamized and the motor car tourists rush over it at 30 miles an hour, oblivious of the fact that 50 years ago the immigrants toiled slowly over this mile of cordu roy and cursed the monopoly as round ly as we do Standard Oil, Southern Pa cific, etc. But the immigrant had his choice. He could pay the dollar and go over a mile of good road, or go around and take his chances of miring down on a trail that followed the foot hills for five or six miles. He gen erally paid the dollar as a tribute to good roads. There are no bad places on the Pacific Highway In Lane County. We. must have met 100 cars, coming north the first half day out, and none were broken down or reported any particular hardship. We covered 112 miles the first 5 hours and 20 minutes. The Pass Creek Canyon part of -the Pacific Highway has been pictured as the nightmare of motorists, as famou for its terrors as the Kex-Tigardvllle abomination of yore, but four times as long. Both will pass away like a bad dream as these blots on the good roads fame of Douglas and Washington are no more. Road Bring Repaired. The north entrance to Pass Creek is planked and macadamized, as are sev eral .stretches that formerly produced profuse profanity. Rock crushers are stationed at several places. Road graders are at work. We made the 23 Jmiles from Cottage Grove to Yoncolla in one and a half hours. Western Oregon main roads are not hard-surfaced, but are good smooth traveling lust the same. They are free from sand, mud and dust at present and will be all Summer more free from those pe6ts of motoring than any other section of the United States. ' There are good travelable roads to every seaport and Summer resort on the west coast of Oregon. 1 These roads are all delightful for motoring, espe cially in the coast mountains and down the west slopes and around the bays. I met, cars of all kinds, some carrying heavy loads with camping outfits, coming and going, via Grants Pass and Eureka, and they all said the coast route to California' was 23 degrees cooler than through the Interior. But it is some farther-in distance and the Alex Craib Says: "Vic Huert VOL 2. rHB MONDAY .CLAWnsit It yimwmr Ci-ojio." Monday. July 12, 1015. DEAiV COLLLNS. Editor. EDITORIAL Tho Crawfish had Intended to let the matter of the discussion that has been going- on between the Pacifists and the advocates of armed preparedness, drop for a time, owing to -the advent of the hot weather and a corre sponding disinclination to tir up strife in the land. , It has been called to oar at tention, however, that the up holders of sbe doctrine that uq preparedneaa makes for peace have been overlooking; a bet for a Ions time and The Crawfish feels that they should be ap prized of that fact. We had the pleasure of tak ing the trip op the Columbia Highway the other day, over the same route that Ad Bennett and his party of hardy pioneers au tomobtled a few days later. In addition to the striking and in teresting scenery we noted, it occurred to us after we returned what a remarkably effective "avenue do getaway" the Co lumbia Highway would furnish for our local colony of Pa c if lata in case of an Invasion of the Pacific Coast by a foreign foe. We -waxed so enthusiastic over the idea, that we could almost conjure up a vision of the pro cession of our most popular dove fanciers trundling their Lares and Penates before them in a mad rush for the wilds of Wasco County, while a foreign, foe prodded them from behind with a sharp stick. But in the same moment we realized that If the road were permitted to remain, with Its strategic possibilities as a skl-doo-fvajr into the Interior, It would constitute, after Us fash ion, a piece of military pre paredness. And the doctrine of the day is that military preparedness is to be shunned like the three-' cornered bottle they pack car bolic acid In, We hate to think of It, but In the Intersts of peace, which we understand is best preserved by noupreparadness, we feel -that Uie Columbia Highway should be dynamited imme diately, and we are surprised that our local college of Pacifists didn't think of It before we had to point it out to them.

BAD MEN GATHERED IN Police Think They Have Burglars and Embryo Counterfeiters. Embryo counterfeiters as well as ex perienced burglars were arrested by City Detectives Pat Moloney, Swennes and Dan Kelleher' Saturday In the cap ture of Charles Knapp and Jean Hoss. if their confesntona to Detective Moloney and William Cilover, United States secret service agent, yesterday, were true. Mr. Glover Identified Knapp yester day as a man named Brown, who had been under suspicion for counterfeiting several years ago. Upon being probed Knapp admitted that he and Hoss had made experiments with counterfeiting, going so far aa to have steel cut for the dies, but had given up the idea for the time being because they could not perfect their paraphernalia. The two men, who were arrested with mask, pliers, revolver, Jimmy, goggles and false whiskers in their possession at Third and Oak streets Saturday, con fessed to five burglaries, and probably will waive preliminary examination in Municipal Court today.

TMF.VRK AFTER HIM HARD THEM5 DAYS. 3 BIG LINERS DUE Hawaiian, Honolulan and San ta Cecilia Are Expected. CANAL RECORD IS BROKEN Steamers From Xcw York Reported to Have Landed 32,463 Tons of Portland Freight In Months, Taking Tons. 4 Three of the large steamers making the regular trip between New York City and this port will all be In' Port land harbor thia week unless they should be delayed by unforeseen weather conditions. This will be one of the first times such a coincidence has oc curred since the vessels were put on thin run about a year ago. The steamer Hawaiian, of the American-Hawaiian line. Is due to arrive in port some time today. The Honolulan. of the same line, and the banta Cecelia, of the W. R. Graoe Company, are ex pected to arrive the latter part of the week. The Honolulan Is now at Ban Krancisco and the Santa Cecelia at San Pedro. According to an article appearing In a an Krancisco paper July 10, the Honolulan captured the record for the American-Hawaiian Kteamsblp Com pany when she arrived in that port July 9. only 18 days out from New York . harbor, making the trip a full day ahead of schedule. Favorable weather conditions are said to have been responsible. After unloading 8'JOO tons of cargo, consisting principally of iron and steel, at ban Francisco, the vessel will proceed to Portland. The Georsre Hawley, of the newly organized West Coast Navigation Com pany, is due to arrive In Portland July IS, her arrival Inaugurating the ad vent of a new line of steamers from New York City and Philadelphia to Portland and other Coast ports. The company was organized about four months ago and will run three steamers to the Coast by way of the Panama Canal. The George Hawley and the Edison Light, both of 16V9 tons, will make the run from ' New York, and the Walter D. Noyes from Philadelphia. The incoming freight carried on steamers making the regular run from New York City to Portland during the first six months of this year amounted to 32.462 tons. The outgoing tonnage for the name period was 27.2U9 tona These figures for outgolnir tonnage do not take lno consideration the large amount of canned goods and similar shipments taken on at Astoria. If they were figured In it Is believed that the outgoing shipments would at least bal ance those coming in. Shippers are of the opinion that the showing made is good considering the brief time that the steamers have been on this run and predict a gradual increase In bUftineas. Railroad Kmplorea Cemtured.

"Africa shattered Christ 2000 years ago In his childhood and returned hint to the civilised world unharmed. Sine that time Africa haa ben the open sore of the entire earth: a placa ef vice and degradation in tha most horrible form.

Africa, yesterday morn ing before the congregation of the Firt Christian Church. Mr. Iloai said In part: "In 1820 a band of freed slavaa front tha United Slates was landed on tha west coast of Africa, having Veen taken there by a white agent from the States. Trial shipload of blacks, having assim ilated American customs and manners, soon set up a government of their own In Liberia.

"There Is not one mlstsonary or teacher In that vast Interior and the natives are eager for Instruction.

D for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." With this as his text. Rev. A. B. Cal der. pistor of Trinity Methodist Epis copal Church, preached a sermon last night that was full of helpful sugges tions. Ills subject waa "Procrastina tion." Lr. Calder said: "Procrastination, the thief of time, la ever planning for tomorrow. Life is to ba reformed to morrow. The soul Is to be saved to morrow. But tomorrow never cornea. "Procrastination bars the door to achievement. It paves the way for doubt, remorse and fear. Do not put off receiving Christ and his blessings. There is no time like the present. Thou knowest not what, th morrow may bring forth." ' Hev. It. Elmer Smith took for hia sermon subject last nlg'ht In the bunny side Methodist Church. Xnly an Apple Tree." His text was from the Song of Solomon, chapter 11. verse X. Dr. Smith likened th apple tree unto the common, average man. th Indispen sable, dependable person who does the world's work and upon whom the world has to rely. "The apple tree, to be a success, must be carefully pruned." said the speaker, "and tha man or woman to be a suc cess must go through a certain amount of the pruning process. The hard places In life, the troubles bravely borne, tha difficult Irs staunchly overcome, th sorrows that have been lived down and have made us sweeter and better, are th pruning," declared Dr. Smith. "The great word of Plato Is Idea.- the leading word of Solomon la 'knowl edge.' but tha favorite word of Jesus Is "truth " This, an extract from the sermon of the Kev. W. W.
