THE 3IORXIXG- OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, JULY 24. 1916. BACK HILL PARTY FROM WOODS TRIP Road-Building Project Is De nied, but Remark, "Line Would Pay," Overheard. CONTRACTOR TAKEN ALONG HEADS OF THREE NORTHERN LINES WHO HAVE BEEN IN PORTLAND AND WILLAMETTE APPARENTLY PLANNING NEW RAILROAD FEEDER. Argument Advanced That Timber Is ltipe Now and That Such Hard ship Would Not Be Undertaken i Unless Business Was Meant. ALBANY, Or.. July 23. (Special.) J.cturnlng to Albany at o:45 this after noon from his trip to Cascadia, Louis W, Hill, president of the Great North ern Railway, accompanied by a party of Northern Pacific and Oregon Elect ric officials and engineers, left 10 min utes later for Portland on a special train on the Oregon Electric. During his brief stay here,, Mr. Hill chatted pleasantly with newspapermen regarding his trip but offered no en ligrhtenment as to Its purport. He said he made it a practice to view the country tributary to his lines and prop erty at least once a year and took ad vantage of the opportunity to show the officials of the company who met him on the Coast the wonderful country he nad traversed. "it was a pleasure trip." he said. like to get out in the country and view the wonderful timber. He asserted that tho trip was with out significance but it is known that Mr. Hill and the officials with him de voted their time on the trip to in specting the big timber belt along the houth eantiam River, much of which Is owned by the Oregon & Western Colonization Company, the president of which, W. P. Davidson, was a member of the party. Country Praised Highly. Mr. Hill praised the country through cut which he passed in extravagant terms and said all it needs is people. "This country will grow anything he said. "Every ranch Is a botanical garden." He spoke repeatedly in his brief tajk of the wonderful timber re sources. The fact that this timber is now ripe and ready for market Is one thing which leads to the belief that a branch from Albany up the South fiantiam may be planned as a feeder to the Oregon Electric line in the market ing of this timber. All the members of the party spoke with the same measure of praise of the country and were delighted with Cas- cadia and its large mineral springs. leaving Albany yesterday the party reached Cascadia. a mountain resort on the South Santiam River at o'clock last night. They remained there until 11 o'clock this morning, and in tile meantime six members of the party spent the early morning on a horse back rido into a big timber belt in the Swamp Mountain country, about 10 miles south of Cascadia. Mr. Hill with two others remained at the springs. Timber Viewed From Icak. Mr. Hill, President Hannaford of the Northern Pacific and most of the others stopped at Foster on the return trip this afternoon and made a side trip to a Uovernment forest reserve lookout station on a high point from v. hifh they could view a wide extent of timber. "Bill" llanley and two of tiie engineers t-atne on to Albany, ar riving here at 5 o'clock. Mr. Hill was accompanied on the trip by .1. M. Hannaford, president of the Northern Pacific; I-.. C. Oilman, president of the North Bank road and Oregon Electric; II. Budd, assistant to Mr. Hill; Thomas Cupper, assistant to President Hannaford; W. P. Davidson, of St. Paul, president of the Oregon & Western Colonization Company; A. M. l.upfer. chief engineer of the Oregon Electric; Grant iimith. of St. Paul, a railroad contractor, and William Han- ley, of Burns. They made the trip in inree automoDiles. A. J. Davidson, general superintend ent of the Oregon Electric, and G. E votaw, division superintendent, met tiiem here and accompanied them on the special train to Portland. Mr. Hill In Portland Today. Mr. Hill plans to spend all day to morrow in Portland and then leave for tjlacier National Park. inougn no announcements were made, and In fact officials indicated no work Is contemplated, the trip has aroused hope here that the line up the South Santiam. contemplated since the Oregon Electric was built, will be con structed soon. It is argued that such a distinguished party of officials. tk ing with them an engineer and rail- Toad contractor, would not make this nara trip to Cascadia over a mountain road which has been almost impass able because of wet weather and de vote all their time to viewing'the tim ber belt, for pleasure only. It is also known that surveys have been made up the South Santiam heretofore and the fact that most of this great body of timber is now ripe and must be mar keted soon, coupled with improving conditions In the lumber market,, leads to the belief that the construction, work may be contemplated. When the party returned to Cascadia from the horseback ride into the tim ber today, one of them was heard to remark in reference to the timber, "It "Will pay to build a road to." le 1.11 Wants IiightsAgaIn.

Ex-Senator Patterson was for many years a prominent figure in Colorado politics. He was born in 1839 in County Carlow, Ireland, and came to the United States in Childhood. He was educated at Asbury (now DePauw) University, and at Wabash College, and studied law, practicing his profession for many years in Denver.

He was the last territorial delegate from Colo rado, to the 44th Congress, and was elected a member of the succeeding Congress from the state. He was long a Democrat and was the nominee of his party for Governor in 1888. but in 1896 and 1900 was a del egate to the Populist National conven tion and was permanent chairman of the latter one. and in both those years he was a presidential elector.

OLD SOLDIER REJECTED A. J. WIM'OX, 02 YKARS OLD. QtlTS SOLDIERS' HOME. East. .here wore approximately 2000 students registered at the Montana in stitutions last year. The average ex penses of these students was $300 i year. This sum includes fees, board, books, clothing- all necessary expenses except railway transportation. These figures have been compiled from records at the State University in Missoula, the State College of Agricul ture and Mechanic Arts in Bozcman. the School of Mines in Butte and the State Normal College in Dillon. One of the objections frequently urged against attendance at one of the Montana institutions is that the cost is too great. The figures which are given in the compilation quoted are. in them selves, the answer to this argument. There are students in each inetiution who get through the year with the expenditure of much less than $300; there are others who Fpend consider ably more but it is not because it is necessary. The cot of higher educa tion to the student in Montana is as low as in any institution of standard rank in the country. onefnarian Told State Can't Care for Him Becanne Hla Realdcnee Is In Other Commonwealth.

Two Workers to Each Headquarters to Be Assigned Decision as to Party Policy to Be Reached in August Conference. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash- ington. July 23. The National W o- man's Party, of which much has keen heard since the National conventions at Chicago and St. Louis, is evidently planning to make its suffrage fight in earnest. Already campaign managers and organizers have been selected for service in the suffrage states of the West and other details will be arrang ed as fast as women have been trained for the service. It is the purpose of the Washington headquarters of the Woman's Party to maintain two managers in each state. one at the state headquarters while the other travels about the state ar ranging for meetings, perfecting coun ty and minor organizations and assign ing speakers. The speakers will be selected later, when the details of the campaign have been more fully worked out. - Important Decision Due In Auarust On the important decision reached by the Woman's Party conference at Colorado Springs August 10 to 12, when It will be determined how the party will align itself in the Presidential election contest will depend the exact character of the work to be done by the various women state campaign managers. The action or announced policy of one or more of the existing national parties will determine whether the Woman's Party will cast its po litical lot with the Republicans or some other party or run an independ cnt ticket. It was pointed out at the National headquarters of the Woman's Party here today that, inasmuch as the 1 suffrage states have 91 electoral votes and the women hold a balance of power and thus can control the election re suits in those states, the nomination of the next president depends on what decision they reach at Colorado Springs next month. Western Manager Chosen. Miss Fendall who will be one of the campaign managers In Oregon for the Woman s Party, is a Baltimore girl, a recent graudatc of Bryn Mawr Col lege. She has been in Washington studying organization methods under Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Con gressional Union for Woman Suffrage, and Mis3 Maud Younger, of San Fran cisco, an experienced worker in legis lative practice and procedure. Miss Whittmore, who will be the other state campaign manager in Ore gon. is from Detroit. The two Washington state campaign managers will be Miss Julia Hurlbut and Miss Agnes Campbell, both of Morristown. N. J. Miss Hurlbut Is vice-chairman of the New Jersey branch of the Congressional union. After suffrage had lost in New Jersey. Miss Hurlbut decided that the state by state method was futile. She was member of the party which recently toured the T est on the "Suffrage Spe ciai. Miss Campbell is a graduate of Bryn Mawr. She is a decendant of Elihu Yale, founder of Yale University. She wp.s an organizer for the Woman's Political Union In its effort to gain suffrage in New Jersey. In Idaho, Mrs. Jessie Hardy, MacKaye, of Washington, t).

The American Navy, or rather American dreadnoughts, no matter how efficient in other respects, are woefully lacking in speed when compared to the dreadnoughts of the British navy, and this defect, according to Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, is vital. Why the modern dreadnought built by the United States at a cost greater than the cost of British ships of the same type should be four knots slower is a mystery which the Massa chusetts Senator insists should be cleared up. In the same connection. Senator Lodge insists that in the planning and construction of the new dreadnoughts authorized by the pending naval appro priation bill, some means should be devised to Insure a epeed In American battleships at least as great as the speed of the best battleships of any foreign navy. In discussing this question of speed. Senator Lodge called attention to the fact that Congress, in authorizing bat tleships, has always demanded the highest practicable speed. In spite of that requirement, he showed that our two last dreadnoughts, the Oklahoma and the Pennsylvania, have a speed respectively of 20.5 knots and 21. 5 knots. As compared with these ships, the argest and latest in the American Navy, Senator Lodge showed that the Queen Elizabeth. Warsplte and other recent battleship additions! to the Brit ish navy, have a speed of 26 knots. become American citizens and for the siuay ' I me incurs vi nie uhj , in u formed here next week by Aberdeen Swedes, Ianes and Norwegians.
