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

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.
