ROAD WORK DELAYED
S. Benson to Meet Aurora-Hubbard-Woodburn
Folk.
CITIZENS ACCUSE RAILWAY
Southern Pacific- Charged With Op
posing Highway Improvement.
Official of Line Explains Gov
ernment Is Using Cars.
S. Benson, chairman of the State High
way Commission, said yesterday that
he expected to have a conference today
with several residents of the Aurora,
Hubbard and Woodburn communities
who are complaining: bitterly because
lack of materials is holding- up the
prosecution of the contract for the
construction of 10 miles of paved road
along the Pacific Highway, one half in
Clackamas County and the other half
in Marlon County.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany is unable, to furnish a sufficient
number of cars to haul the rock mate
rial required to pave the road, and the
officials of the Oregon Hassam Paving
Company, who have the contract for
laying the pavement, say that they are
helpless to proceed. Meanwhile the
residents of the communities to be
benefited by the road improvement
charge that the railroad . company is
not making the proper effort to supply
cars, and some of them charge further
that the railroad does not look favor
ably upon the idea of the all-year com
petition that will result from the hard
surfaced road.
Road Officials to Be VUKed.
The matter has already been pre
sented to the Public Service Commis
Blon, Mr. Benson said yesterday, but no
relief has been forthcoming. In the
hope of improving the situation dele
sratfona from the towns near the pre
lected Improvement have announced
that they; will come to Portland today
and go with State Highway Commis
sioner Benson to consult with the
Southern Pacific officials.
"I have always assumed that the
rallroaJ company is in full sympathy
with us in our road work, but from
what the people of the Aurora, Hub
bard and Woodburn communities tell i
me it looks like the Southern Pacific
Company might do more for us in the
matter of supplying cars," said Mr.
Benson yesterday. "The situation will
be serious unless relief comes shortly,
as it is Impossible to proceed with the
work unless rock Is obtained over the
railroad route."
G. A. Newell, assistant superintend
ent of transportation In charge of the
car shortage situation for the Southern
Pacific Company, said last night that
the railroad company will be glad to
confer today with the complainants.
War Orders Have Preference.
"There is a general shortage of gon
dolas, the type of car used inhauling
rock," said Mr. Newell. "There are
some gondolas running in this district,
but they are being employed handling
lumber and other materials which are
regarded by Government officials as
important adjuncts to the present war
programme. In the East the gondolas
are needed in taking care of the coal
and iron shipments.
"If it were possible to get plenty of
flatcars we could board them up and
use tnem to haul rock for the road
project, but we cannot take the flat
oars away from the lumber shippers.
particularly those who are sending
lumber for use in building up Army
camps. We most certainly would be
glad to give the Oregon Hassam Com
pany cars if we had them.
"I am sorry to say that present Indi
cations do not promise any early im
provement of the unfortunate condition
of car shortage. We expect that the
Government will call upon us more
than ever for co-operation next month.
and this does not look encouraging.

assist In suppressing the bootlegging
operations at their source.
Stevens told Mr. Evans of how two
bootleggers during the past two weeks
dropped off at Aurora with seven suit
cases loaded with liquor. They were
assisted by a Pullman employe. Such
nstances, he said, are of almost dally
occurrence, and more liquor Is being
shipped from California today than a
