Only $1,000,000 Worth Can Be Is-
" ' " sued In 1 9 1 1 Preliminary Work
,i Must First Be Bone by Coun-
.;- Ties, Then State Will Pave.
SALEM, Or.. June 10. (Special.)
' The State Highway Commission plana
to hold a meeting 'the middle or the
latter part of this week, at which time
it is hoped to map out the programme
which will be followed in the distribu
tion of the $6,000,000 voted by the peo
ple at the recent special election for
the construction of permanent roads.
It is the plan of the committee to
outline the entire scheme of work as
far as the money will go and to pro
ceed with the actual construction of
highways as soon as possible.
How much work can be done this
year is problematical. Bonds must be
issued and sold, the preliminary work
must be done by the counties and the
entire machinery for the gigantic Job
of covering the state with good roads
" be placed under way.
The bill itself provides that no more
than $1,000,000 worth of the bonds can
be issued during 1917. By 1918 it is
expected that the w"ork will be in a
position so that it can be pushed for
ward rapidly.
Many C'ountlrn Will Apply.
A large number of the counties have
their application in. while it is ex
pected many others will follow suit
and start steps as soon as possible to
prepare the base for hardsurfacing, on
the roads which are outlined in the
bill.
It is believed that the imminence of
a suit to test out the Bean-Barrett bill,
as to how far the Commission may go
in securing money from the bonds to
be issued under that act, will not delay
the meeting to outline the programme
under the $8,000,000 bonding bill.
Whatever happens to the Bean-Barrett
bill, it is pretty generally conceded that
the $6,000,000 to be raised under tbe
big bonding issue can be used only as
specified in the bill itself, so nothing
stands in the way of the Commission
outlining its actual programme as soon
as it can get together for that pur
pose. Marion County Has Funds on Hand.
Although Marion County returned
one of the heaviest votes 'against the
$6,000,000 bond issue, it had received a
promise from the Commission that it
will be awarded money for the work
on the Pacific Highway as soon as it
has its base for such work prepared.
Much of the highway In this county is
npw practically in condition, it is
"stated, and the county has about $60,
000 with which to do additional work
on between eight and 10 miles more.
State Highway Engineer Nunn has a
force now at work on the hard-surfacing
project on the Yamhill and Nes
tucca road near Sheridan. One mile
of road will be hard surfaced with
concrete with a possibility of putting
the same surface on two additional
miles if the County Court is willing
, to prepare the roadbed.
This improves one of the worst sec
tions of roads in the state and connects
up the rich farming section in Yamhill
and Tillamook Counties with the Wil
lamette Valley.
PLAY IS IN SECOND WEEK
: Matinees of "Her Unborn Child" for
- - Women Only.
"Her Unborn Child," a dramatic pro
duction in which Miria Gleason is star
ring, began its second week yesterday
at the Eleventh-Street Playhouse, with
a matinee for women only and a night
performance for men and women. The
subtle handling of the birth control
subject is enhanced by a light touch
of humor throughout the story and
besides being a preachment of a cer
tain well defined defense of mother-
hood, the play is also an hour and a
half of dramatic entertainment. It is
not . moving picture.
The production held the boards all
last week at the playhouse and drew
large audiences dally. Miss Gleason,
star in the production, is a former Ba
ker actress and is receiving a number
of her old friends and admirers after
each performance.

of Fine School Grounds.
Because of its infinite charm and
artistry, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
as presented Thursday night by the
students of Miss Catlin's school will be
repeated Tuesday night at 7:30 for the
benefit of the Oregon unit of the Amer
ican Ambulance Corps. The beloved old
Shakespeare play was presented on the
terraces back of the attractive school
building and it proved such a success
in its. natural surroundings that con
tinuous requests have reached Miss Cat
lin for a repetition so the Ambulance
Corps will benefit. - -
The girls are so thoroughly familiar
with their parts, having studied them
during tut entire sohool year, that they
gave their own interpretations, which
proved to be far more delightful and
charming than the - most . carefully
drilled cast could produce this particu
lar play.
The children really "play" rather
than "act", their parts. Miss Dorothy
Gilbert designed all the costumes and
they are like bits of colorful mosaic
fitted into the attractive background
of velvety lawns, trees and shrubs. Miss
Helen Barber, one of the faculty at
Miss Catlin's school, has directed the
cast. The cast follows:
Theseus, Katherine Alnsworth: Cfreus.
