Officers In Washington. t (Cutoff Near Glendale Au thorized at Meeting, SAFEST. Or, Aug:. 8. (Special.) The State Highway Commission today re fused to turn over $16,000 of road money allotted to Clatsop County, to creditors of Peterson A Johnson, con tractors, until It learned the attitude of the members of the Clatsop County Court toward the proposed transfer. A trenuous effort to obtain ' such action was made by Harrison Allen, of Port land, representing some of the cred itors. Peterson & Johnson had the contract for doing- the Columbia High way work in Clatsop County. The Highway Commission was ad vised that if the state would turn over $16,000 promised the county to the Scandinavian-American Bank, of Se attle, one of the creditors of the con tractors, the bank would disburse the money pro rata among- the cred itors. It was asserted that this method was satisfactory to all but a few mall creditors. While the original claims amounted to $63,000. Mr. Allen told the commission that the contrac tors had agreed to settle with . the county for $38,000. The contractors' creditors hope to divide the $18,000 pro rata if it is secured, and apportion ' $22,000 later when It Is obtained from the county. Engineer Goes to Washington. Fear wa expressed, by Mr. Allen that ir the commission turns over the $16.- 000 to the Clatsop County Court the court will proceed to pay soma of the creditors in full and thus leave the ricandinavian-American Bank, the Du- pont Powder Company and the larger creditors unpaid. In the hope that the wishes of the state may be made fully known to the Government before the Federal funds lor road work in Oregon are finally allotted, the Commission today au thorized State Engineer Lewis to at- tend the conference at "Washington. D. C, August 16 between Federal and; tat engineers, when the apportion ment of funds will be considered. Engineer Lewis reported to the Com mission that the road work at Glen dale is SO per cent completed now and that the cost is running well below the estimates. Short Cot Authorized. The Commission adviced Engineer Lewis to use the surplus in making the short cut on the Paclfio Highway near BtaKe Coach Pass. WorTc on the survey, of the road, to Crater Lake will be completed. In three weeks. Because expenditures on the Bex- Tigardvllle road last year overran the estimates and cut down the $5000 al lotted to Washington County to $4245. the Commission voted to give the county $755 to complete the amount al lotted originally. With the under standing that the state had given the county $5000 for road work, the Wash ington County Court voted an equal amount 11 'I tr f- - tnr n-' if V . 213 a' t j ru n .

THERE have been columns of mat ter written about who was te first to do this in pictures, and who was the creator of that, and who was the.first to secure such-and-such an effect, but there Is one fact that is not open to argument, and that Is, who was the first leading man in motion pictures. That distinction goes to Wilfred Lucas, now a Fine Arts star, who was without doubt the first actor to be come a leading man for the screen. At that time David Wark Griffith was Just " getting started at the oid Biograph Company in New York, and ha-i reached a decision that pictures as well aa the legitimate should have principals. Prior to that It was the custom for the company to gather in the studio. the director would point to a certain man and say you do so and so. and to anotbsr you do- this, then they would make the. picture, the other members of the cast being given things to do as they occurred to the director. Griffith knew it was all wrcng, and subsequent events showed the logic of his securing the services of Wilfred Lucas as a leading man. Mr. Lucas was playing in support Of Kosa Stan I, and in casting about ror a type Mr. Griffith witnessed a performance by Mr. Lucas and prompt ly engaged him as leading man at a salary, which in those days was consid ered enormous. From then on it was a steady climb, and today Mr. Lucas bolds an enviable niche in the photo play "nan of fame.
