Pacific Highway and Coos-Roscburg IJoads More Desirable at Pres ent, Says Chairman Benson. Curry Route Forecast, Too. Unthusiasm over the possibilities of developing: a world-surpassing scenic road along the coast between Coos Bay and the California coast was ex pressed by S. Benson, chairman of the Utate Highway Commmlssion, and John M. Yeon, roadmaster for Multnomah County, who returned to Portland yes terday after a week3 motor trip through the southwestern part of the Ktate on which they were accompanied most of the distance by Governor Withycombe, State Highway Commis sioner Adams and Amos Benson. Both Mr. Benson, Sr., and Mr. Teon are convinced that the coast road, as well as the mountain routes from Grants Pass to Crescent City, CaL, and from Koseburg to Coos Bay will, when completed along standard lines, be in strumental in attracting many motor tourists to Oregon. They point out, too, that each of these roads is of tremen dous economic importance, being need ful to the full development of those communities. They feel that the coast road from Coos Bay to the California line will be of scenic rather than commercial signif icance and, therefore, it must wait until the orportune time for com pleton. Over and above all else they be lieve that the Pacific Highway and other main trunk roads must have first consideration and the coast and scenic roads secondary consideration. Carry Road Xot Seed Now. ."After the scenic road down the coast from Coos Bay to Crescent City is fin ished, I do not believe anything in the wold will surpass it," eaid Chairman Benson yesterday. "From an economic standpoint this road would not be of, great importa ce, the Curry County dis trict being less important, industrially, than its sister county on the north. Coos. Because of the fact that the proposed coast road is to be of scenic rather than commercial eignificance, the more important trunk roads, such as the Pacific Highway route, ehould receive consideration ahead of It. "1 do not want to be understood as meaning that the propose", coast road will not be built, as it most certainly will be, but it is to be done gradually and in such a way as not to interfere with the more important work. "The road from Grants Pass to Cres cent City is to be a most important commercial highway, as is evidenced by the large amount of travel which is al ready goins, that way. But the state should not, and will not, spend its money on that route until it is proper ly located. Route la l"p to Counties. "Thia matter is entirely up to the counties through which the road, runs, Josephine County. Oregon, and .Del Norte County, California, and these two counties have net thus far come to gether on a right of way. "When they agree to meet on a new location and put their plans forward definitely the a-tate then probably will be in a posi tion to do its share. "The road from Coos Bay to Rose burg over the Myrtle Point-Camas Val ley route is in fairly good shape,, ex cept about 20 miles over the moun tains. The traffic over this road has been heavy and it has been cut up rather badly. The state will do some work on this road in the near future and will also lay some hard-surface along the newly completed grades be tween Marshfield and Coquille. This road from Coos Bay to Koseburg is highly important, from a commercial standpoint. " If anything, Mr. Yeon is even more enthusiastic than Mr. Benson over the scenic possibilities of road develop-' incut in the district covered by the road authorities on the recent trip. "improvement of the Coast route from Coos Bay south would be one of the greatest assets. Oregon could pos sibly possess," said Mr. Yeon yesterday. "Furthermore, I think the completion of this road along standard lines will come quicker than people now realize, due to the demand and the recognized opportunity to make a. tenstrike along scenic lines. Pacific Highway Is First. "Naturally, it is essential that Ore gon put her best efforts on the Pacific Highway first to connect with the paved roads of Washington on the north and the pavement of California on the south. Thistis the standard, di rect route, and it should get as much money as is available. "Once the Pacific Highway is com pleted on a proper line and connected with a wonderful Coast road, including the stretch from Coos Bay to Crescent City, the Pacific Coast will have a 1500 mile highway from Seattle through "Washington and Oregon to Los An geles that will challenge the whole world for an equal. This route will embrace all varieties of climate, some f the finest scenery outdoors, and will pass through a country of tremendous natural resources and beauty. "The completion of these roads will, I predict, make Portlf.nd as important from a tourist standpoint in the Sum mer as Los Angeles is in the Winter time. Good roads offer the key to the great treasure store of tourists. We have the greatest scenery in the world. All we need is standardized roads to pull the tourists from all directions. .At the present time we are losing them from both directions because Oregon roads are poorer than the, roads of California and Washington. Commlnsloners to Report. The impressions gained by Commis eioners Benson and Adams on their re cent trip will be reported at the next general meeting of the State Highway Commission in Mr. Benson's office in the Yeon building September 4. At that time they will discuss the results f the conference held at Crescent City with the road authorities of California. Benson reported yesterday that the sheep and goat business has been progressing favorably in Curry County, "but that the timber-wolf menace is growing more and more damaging and that the wolves threaten to kill the Industry. He says that the people of Curry County place the blame for the present situation on Gifford Pinchot and his administration of Government affairs some years ago. A large part of Curry County is in the forest re serve, and the fact that homestead entries have been excluded has given the timber wolves the chance to run wild without check, it is said. Mr. Benson says Curry County offers Ideal natural advantages for the develop ment of the sheep and goat industry.

"In another place we saw a little lawn on the road not more than 150 feet ahead of us "Some of the road from Grants pass to Crescent City is exceedingly nar row and in places it curves alongr the side of canyons that seem to run down for miles below the road. Over on the coast road there are also magnifi- ent views of this same sort, except that the Pacific Ocean rather than a gulch is at the bottom of the picture. In some places the drop from the road to ocean must be at least 2000 feet." FUGITIVE ELUDES POSSE Bloodhounds Fall to Find Trail ol Escaped Murderer. ALBANY. Or.. Aug:. 23. (Special.)

TAXPAYERS ARE BACKWARD ployes in -the Department of Public Works since taking charge July 1 of this year, effecting a saving of about 15000 a month. Mayor Baker may also te ame to eliminate some of the employes in the Bureau of Police, if his proposed police pension fund is voted into ex istence by the City Council.

Instead of being able to grant In creases in salary to the employes now on the payrolls, the city will face a deficit at the close of its fiscal year, according to figures compiled at the City Hall, but not for use by the members of the Council. It will be impossible without creating a deficit to grant any of the rises asked for, these figures show, and it Is therefore believed certain tnat there will be no relief before the next budget becomes effective. Being hard hit by the backwardness of property owners in paying their assessments on bonded improvements and the fact that many taxpayers are delinquent also in paying taxes, the city is in poor financial chape tempo rarily, as It has been at various times within the past three yeaTs. The situa tion is brought about largely by the abnormal conditions prevailing at present and for some time past. Mayor Baker and the members of the City Council have started a study of the situation by causing the prep aration of a complete list of the city employes, together with their present salaries, etc., and each Commissioner and the Auditor is to submit his recom mendations to the committee of the whole- in the near future for consid eration. Meanwhile, the tabulated statement of finances for which the Council is looking is to be prepared by Chief Deputy Auditor Grutze, on his return from vacation, next week. It undoubt edly will show a bad condition of af fairs and those in position to know state freely that no relief can be af forded municipal employes this fiscal year. The only possible way to grant any increase, it is said, is by a revision of the payrolls downward in the personal service, by laying off some of those now at work and using that saving to increase the others. A considerable start in this direction has been taken by Commissioner Barbur, who baa dis oensed with the services of 57 em- LINN COUNTY PATRIOTIC Organization of the Oregon Service League Taken Up With Fervor.
