I shall not tolerate In the remotest degree their application in Arizona.

CALIFORNIA OREGON 4 Members of Two Commissions Are Impressed With Scenic Beauty of Proposed Link Californians Entertain Visitors. BY CLEMENT W. AUSMAX. CRESCENT CITY, CaL, Aug. 20. f Special.) It was announced today by the California State Highway Commis sioners that California was ready to construct along1 the coast a better grade highway to the Oregon line, the preliminary survey having already been made. Today the Governors and the High way Commissioners of Oregon and Cal ifornia motored from Crescent City northward to the state boundary so as to inform themselves more fully con cerning conditions. Simultaneously -vlth California's dec laration that work would be started soon. Simon Benson, chairman of the Oregon State Highway Commission pledged Oregon to build a highway to connect with the California highway. This means that the connection witn the International Pacific Highway from Grants Pass to Crescent City, 91 miles, will be improved and the new coastal route through Gold Beach and Marsh field wiU be constructed as early as funds and conditions permit California will spend part of its J33, 000.000 road fund on a road to Oregon from Crescent Ci T. A 30-mlle stretch now is being built by convicts just nuth of KunkL After the inspection trip today the party returned to Smith River. 14 miles north of Crescent City, for the open-air meeting in the shad ows of giant redwoods and within the Bound of the Pacific Ocean breakers. Six hundred persons from this region and about 100 visitors from Southern California and various parts of Oregon lunched together. The day was perfect. The Smith River people prepared the feast, arranged a musical programme and other entertainments. Governor Stephens, of California, told of his trip by motor into the northwestern corner of this state, saying that the drive was the most scenic he had ever taken. Auiituce Is Promised. "I am glad to come and tell you." said Governor Stephens, "that we are icolng to assist you build the highway. This will help Oregon as well as our own state." E. J. Adams, of Eugene, Oregon state highway commissioner, said that in the next five years Oregon would expend about $13,000,000 and that the counties themselves would spend about $5,000,000 annually on highways dur ing that time. James A. Johnson, warden of San Quentin penitentiary, told of the con vict work and incidentally pleaded with those interested in prison reform to do more work with the young men before they are behind prison bars, saying that then there would not be so many in prison. Ben Sheldon, of Grants Pass, said that an improved road from the Jose phine county seat to Crescent City's seaport would start development of the mining, agricultural and dairy region of Southern Oregon on a large scale. John L. Childs, Superior Judge of Del Norte County, welcomed the state of ficials, the road enthusiasts and en gineers to this part of California. He declared that the Coast road was nec essary for commercial use as much as for touring purposes. The chairman of the afternoon was Henry West brook, the largest taxpayer in Del Norte County. Early in the evening Governor Withycombe, S. Benson, Amos Benson and John B. Yeon drove to Gold Beach. Governor Withycombe spoke to the Curry County people tonight. He will inspect the salmon canning plant of the Macleay estate tomorrow morning and go on to Port Orford and Marsh field. The California Governor and other officials drove to Eureka to night. Many of the Grants Pass and Coos County residents remained in Crescent City tonight for the informal recep tion. They will discuss local road mat ters here and start for their respective homes tomorrow afternoon. People Are Hospitable. Although the city is one of the oldest on the Northern California coast, it never before entertained at one time two Governors, but the people know how to dispense true hospitality. They claim a population of only 1200 in Cres cent City and about 4000 in the county. - Sometimes in Winter they are isolated from the world for two months. A steamship line takes the lumber, gold. chrome and quartz ore and dairy products to San Francisco. When the roads are passable auto stages carry mail and passengers from here to Grants Pass, 91 miles, or to Eureka. 105 miles, but now that good roads are assured these people already are be seeching Congress to improve the port so that good transportation can be af forded to a big section of Southwestern Oregon and Del Norte County, Cali fornia. COUNCIL, ORGANIZED TO GUARD PROPERTY IN MALHEUR. Request of Mra. TV. T. Pricbard to Have Body Ask President for Wrt Aim Opposed. ONTARIO, Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.) At a meeting held today at Vale the Malheur Council for Patriotic Service was formed. Forty prominent residents of the county answered the call of County Judge McKnight. t Several speakers rebuked Mrs. W. T. Prichard, reputed to be a member of a group of Vale Socialists, after she re quested that a committee be appointed to draft a resolution asking the Presi dent and Congress to define the Na tion's aim in the war. W. E. Lees. P. J. Gallagher and G. K. Aiken, of Ontario; M. N. Fegley and George W. Hayes and County Judge McKnight, of Vale, characterized such a step as devoid of patriotism. Since no second was received to Mas. Frich ard's suggestion the meeting imme diately appointed a committee to nomi nate 10 men to form the council, and these were named as follows: Ben J. Brown. Vale; Frank Miller, Big Bend; J. Boydell, Nyssa; S. F. Taylor, Ontario; T. M. Lowe, Owyhee; S. M. Willis, Brogan; J. D. Fairman, Westfall; P. J. Gallagher, Ontario: C. C. Mueller. Vale; John Havey, Ontario, and Judge W. Mc Knight, ex-officio member. The coun cil completed its organization by elect ing C. C. Mueller chairman and P. J. Gallagher, secretary. Ontario already has completed - a council of defense and has taken up the matter of forming a home guard com pany. There are thousands of dollars' worth of hay and grain in the county, as well as a great quantity of live stock and since the county is so far removed from Portland it wo.uld be hard to obtain outside assistance in case of trouble. The residents here do not anticipate any serious difficulties. but are to be prepared. As an addi tional precaution Sheriff Ben J. Brown plans deputizing one leader in every precinct and giving him ten specially selected citizens to assist him when needed.

A billion dollars probably will be the sum asked of Congress by the Shipping Board for completion of its 18-montha building programme.

President Wilson's approval of the request for the appropriation will e sought immediately. Tne board already has received three- quarters of a billion dollars, all of which has gone into contracts and the purchase of ships. The billion more sought is needed before the board can proceed with its programme. Ship Plants to Be Built. Contracts for Government-owned fab ricating plants will be placed within a few days. The Submarine Boat Cor poration and the American Interna tional Corporation, it is understood, will construct the plants for the Govern ment and will be given contracts for uilding ships in them. Foreign vessels now . building in American yards which have been com mandeered along with ships under con duction for the American flag, prob- bly will be retained by the American Government. The question of the final disposition of the British hulls has been subject of prolonged negotiations with the British government, which, it is understood, now has agreed that the United States is to pay for their com pletion and put them under the Amer ican flag. Operating; Plans Complete. The Shipping Board's plans for an operating department have been com pleted and will be made public as soon as the name of a man to head it can be announced. This probably will be within a few d.-ys. The board, it was learned today, will ame for the place a railroad man, who perhaps will be chosen from a number uggested in the Middle West. Under the operating director there will be three directors of shipping, one to han- le traffic on the Atlantic, another on the Pacific and a third in charge of vessels in the South and Central Amer ican trade. By Fixing; Price at $105 ler Thousand and Eliminating; Brokerage Fees, Cost of Plants Cut. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Aug. 20. Notice has been served by the Aircraft Production Board upon spruce mills and spruce brokers that hereafter all purchases of spruce for airplane manufacture must be made through the boara ana that standard specifications hereafter will apply. The board will handle con tracts for the allied Governments as well as the United States. Estimates on hand and furnished to day to Senator McNary show the Unit ed States will need 20,000,000 feet. Italy has asked for 18.000,000, France, 36, 000,000 and Great Britain 80.000,000 feet. The board thinks the British es timate is too high and is based on old specifications, under which they, pur chased 2440 feet per plane, while Un der new specifications they will need only 600 feet. The Aircraft Board told the Senator that by fixing a price of $105 and by cutting out brokerage fees and getting a Government rail rate on spruce, the cost of spruce at New York has been reduced from $140 per plane to $70 per plane. Formal notifications Is being sent by the Aircraft Board to lumber brokers in Oregon and Washington advising them that no more spruce will be bought through them by any of the allied Governments; that hereafter all purchases will be made direct from the mills. This is in response to protests from several brokers who have pro tested at the holding up on contracts in which they are interested. The board admits its action is arbitrary. but necessary under the circumstances. DRAFT CARD IDENTIFIES Seattle Employment Agent Kills Self Because of III Health. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 20. fSoe cial.)

NO SEW CONTRACTS ARE MADE Labor Troubles Reason Given for Holding Up Wood Ship Orders. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 20. Admiral Capps, suc cessor to General Goethals, in charge of Government ship construction, has for the time being stopped awarding ontracts for wooden ships and at the same time is concentrating his efforts n the steel ships programme, on which veral large contracts are about to be awarded. On receipt of a telegram from the Portland Chamber of Commerce, calling ttention to a telegram from the Snip ing Board to Fenney & Bremen, of Tillamook, saying no more contracts or wooden hulls would be awarded. Senator McNary called on Admiral Capps and learned that for the present the wood-shin programme is held in abeyance that now contracts will be considered" but not awarded. Admiral Capps said shipyards on the Pacific Coast were having trouble get ting both labor and material and the Atlantic Coast yards cannot get mate rial. This is due largely to h labor agitation. Because contractors cannot guarantee that they will have enough labor and material to finish ships in contract time, the Shipping Board is not now awarding any new contracts and will not let any more contracts until bidders can guarantee satisfactor ily that they will have ample material and labor. Senator McNary explained that the Tillamook builders, in response to invi tation of the Shipping Board, had equipped their yard on the assurance that contracts would be given for four wood-en hulls, and since they have of fered satisfactory bonas he insisted the Government should accept their bid, if their figure is reasonable.
