YAMHILL -DECLARES
FOR DIRECT ROUTE
Ballston-Salt Creek Highway
Plan Condemned by Mc
i Minnville Meeting.
ROAD BOOSTERS EMPHATIC
One Lone Vote Dissents From Ver
dict for Road as Contemplated
in Bill Providing for State
. Highway Bonds.
McMIXNVILLE. Or.. Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) Two hundred and fifty members
of the Yamhill County Good Roads As
sociation, representing delegations from
McMinnville, Carlton, Yamhill, Sheridan,
Amity, Dayton, Newberg. Lafayette and
other sections of the county, met
here last night in response to a call
from President Hurner. of the associa
tion, for the purpo.se of arriving at some
unanimity of action regarding the loca
tion of the Pacific Highway through
Yamhill County.
While two members of the State
Highway Commission have chosen the
I;al!ston-Salt Creek route from McMinn
ville to Dallas, this does not agree with
ihe wishes of the people of this county,
who have preferred the shorter and
more direct route, and It was to gain a
free expression of the sentiment of the
people of the county that the meeting
wa called.
Direct Route Declared For.
A set of resolutions expressing the
cense of the association were read and
discussed by R. J. Moore, of Newberg,
Dr. Matthies, of Amity, W. B. Dennis, of
Carlton, Attorney Sims, of Sheridan,
and others.
Following are the resolutions, -which
were adopted with but one dissenting
voice, that of Mr. Sims:
Whereu. The last LeKlslatur submitted
to the people House blil No. 650. providing
for the building of certain highways within
the state of Oregon, which bill was adopted
by the people of the state of Oregon on the
fourth day of June. 1U17; and.
Whereas, By section 0 of said bill the
highways described In said section, and in
section 7 of said bill, were determined to
be of first importance to the general pub
lic of the state of Oregon, and that certain
highways therein should be constructed and
finished with a hard surface; subdivision 2
of said section 6 providing that the Pacific
Highway from the Multnomah County line
through Washington County and Yamhill
County by way of Hillnooro. Forest Grove.
McMinnville to Dallas. Monmouth and Inde
pendence, in Polk County, to Corvallis and
Monroe, in Benton County, and through Ku
gene to the Siorth line of Douglas County:
and.
Whereas. There has a dispute arisen In
the State Highway Commission as to the lo
cation of said highway between McMin
Viliw and Dallas, in Polk County; and.
Whereas. The road contemplated by the
bill and by the voters for the location of
isald highway was south from McMinnville,
through Amity, in Yamhill County, to Rick
reall, in Polk County, to Dallas, Monmouth
and Independence, In Polk County, to the
north lino of Douglas County; and,
C ircuitous Route Opposed.
Whereas, There Is an effort being made
to divert said highway from the route long
established by custom to a circuitous route
by way of Bellevue, In Yamhill County,
through Ballston, up Salt Creek to Dallas;
and
Whereas. If this road is adopted, it will
deprive the West Side of Its highway, which
It Is entitled to under the bill, and divert
the- money from building -through trunk
lines to' the building of local roads; and.
Wberus, The building of the -Pacific
Highway on the West Side would be of
immeasurable benefit to the counties of
Washington, Yamhill, Folk and Benton;
and.
Whereas, If the controversy between Polk
and Yamhill counties cannot be settled so
an to: allow the road to be constructed on
the lines contemplated in the bill and
adopted by the people, to-wit: The Amity,
Klc.kreall, Dallas, Monmouth, Independence
route, then the West Side is liable to be
deprived of the benefit of a Pacific High
way at all. Now, therefore, be it
.Resolved, By the Yamhill County Good
Ttoads Association and other commercial
bodies of the West Side that they use every
effort to establish the Pacific Highway as
contemplated under said bill and as voted
on by the people, to wit: To build that
part of the Pacific Highway south from Mc
Minnville by way of Amity, Klckreall to
Dallas, Monmouth, Independence and Cor
vallis, and said route Is hereby adopted by
this association: and be it further
Resolved, That a committee consisting of
the president of this association and seven
members thereof, to be selected by the chair
man, be appointed to devise plans and means
for the furthering of the adoption of said
highway, and that these resolutions be de
livered to the said committee for such ac
tion as said committee may deem advisable;
and be It further
Resolved, That said committee Is hereby
directed to report to this association Its do
ings in due time.

New Foot Remedy Causes
Big Run on Drug Stores.
Since the virtues of Ice-Mint as a foot
remedy became known In this country.
drUffgists have been having an extraordinary
demand for this product, as It seems to be
the only thing that effectually overcomes the
evil of modern foot-wear.
The fact that this discovery which Is made
from a Japanese product will actually remove
corns roots and all and without the slight
est pain or soreness Is of course mainly re
sponsible for its large and Increasing sale
Jce-Mint is very easy to use. You simply
apply a little on a lender, aching corn or
ca;lus and instantly the. soreness is reliever!
and soon the corn or cellus is so shriveled
mat it may on nitea out easily with the
fingers roots and all leaving the surround
ing skin in normal, healthy condition. In
minor cases of foot troubles, such as tender,
tired, swollen, aching, burning feet, it has
been found that by rubbing just a little Ice
Mint on the feet in the morning they will be
k-pt cool, easy and. comfortable during the
entire day. Ice-Mint is a clean, creamy,
snow-white. non-poisonous substance that
will not inflame or irritate the most tender
skin, in fact, it imparts such a soothlng
resiful feeling to the feet that it has become,
very popular with ladies who wear high
heel slioes and with men who have to stand
on their feet all day. If you want to know
what real foot comfort Is just ask In any
drugstore for a smalt jar of Ice-Mint, which
will cost you little yet is sufficient to rid
one's feet of every corn and callus and put
them in fine condition. You'll like it im
mensely. Adv.

of the Oregon Agricultural College,
made a splendid address on food pro
duction and conservation. The speaker
in the afternoon was 'William D.

MORE TROOPS TO PASS
SECOXD MOVEMENT WILL BECIX
THROUGH PORTLAND OCT. 8.
System Worked Out by Railroad
Officials Results In Few De
lays or Any Hitches.
With the draft movement completed
Tuesday night, passenger traffic offi
cials of the lines in Portland will have
barely time to draw a few long breaths
of relief when they will be called upon
to handle a similar movement of the
second 40 per cent of the draft from
the same territory. As before, the
men will be routed to Camp Lewis.
American Lake. '
The second 40 per cent will be han
dled through Portland between October
3 and 8, and arrangements similar to
those that prevailed during the recent
movement will be in effect. The rail
road officials worked out a system
that handled the men on schedules
mapped out for' them, and there were
few if any delays.
Approximately 10.000 men will come
through Portland between the above
dates over the Southern Pacific Com
pany lines alone. The O.-W. R. & N.
Company will transport between 4000
and 5000 men through Portland en
route to American Lake.
John M. Scott, general passenger
agent for the Southern Pacific lines
In Oregon, returned yesterday from
Ashland, where he went to meet the
trains of drafted men upon their ar
rival in the territory under his juris
diction and to see that no hitch oc
curred in the arrangements so far as
could be prevented.
He came on to Albany with the last
of the troop trains and noted the ad
mirable way the women of Albany
served dinner for the conscripts at the
Albany Armory. He said it was a real
home meal with the finest possible
spirit prevailing.
CLARKE ASSESSMENT RISES
State Government to Cost Eacli Resi
dent About $5.
VANOOUVK.lt. Wash., Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) It will cost Clarke County tax
payers approximately $3 each this year
to be governed by the state, to say
nothing- of county taxes. This county
must pay into the state treasury J150,
639, against 1?S,134. This shows that
the cost of Htate government is climb
ing along with many other things.
The assessed valuation of Clarke
County this year will be around 14,
000.000. though there is a reduction of
between 10 and 15 per cent on the rail
road valuation, which was made by the
State Board of Equalization and not
the County Assessor.
Clarke County in 1916 raised K21,
9"5.S1 in taxes; in 191. i it was $657.
133.32. In 1917 it will probably be
larger, as many expenses have been
forced on the county.

ALLIES HOLD 'PUSH'

France and Britain, Content
to Wear Down Germans by
Constant Hammering. ;
TEUTONS LOSE INITIATIVE
Secretary of AVar Baker Issues
Statement of Operations for
Week Along All of Euro
pean Bat tlefronts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The Amer
ican Government's first official state
ment concerning military operations In
Europe was issued tonight by Secretary
Baker, inaugurating a series which. In
time, will be devoted largely to activi
ties of the United States expeditioriary
forces. It says that while ascendancy
on the Western front has passed defi
nitely to the allies, they are content
merely to wear down the enemy until
the forces of the American Army makes
itself felt in the field.
Operations for the week ending Sep
tember 22 are reviewed by Mr. Baker,
without reference to the American
forces nowin France. The statement
follows:
"The Secretary of War authorizes the
following statement dealing with mili
tary activities in Europe for the week
ending September 22:
"As the time draws near when mili
tary operations on a large scale on the
Western front must come to a stand
still, owing to the approach of Winter,
it becomes evident that the enemy does
not feel himself in a position to under
take the much-advised offensive action
so often boasted of at home during the
past Summer in order to end the war
victoriously by Christmas.
Allies Wait for America.
"It may be stated affirmatively that
the ascendancy in the West has passed
definitely to the allies, although the
latter are content by tactics of attri
tion to wear down the enemy, giving
no rest or respite until such a time as
the force of our Army may make itself
felt in the field.
"The week Just closed has been one
of increased activity on the part of the
allies on the western front and may be
taken as a presage of what the enemy
is to expect next Spring.
"Beginning with desultory artillery
fire along a broad front which gradu
ally narrowed down to an intense bom -feardment
along what is known as the
Anzac ridge, about a mile southwest
of Zonnebeke, southward through Nun's
Wood to the Ypres-Menin road, the
British increased their artillery opera
tion to a density hitherto unattained.
"The early days of the week were
marked by wet, foggy weather, making
artillery observation difficult and any
offensive undertaking almost impos
sible. Five Barrages Protect Men.
"The weather having cleared by
Thursday, September 20, the British
launched their attack. The infantry
advance was preceded by a barrage of
greater depth, and density lhan has
ever before been undertaken in any en
gagement during the course of the war.
"Five distinct curtains of fire were
stretched ahead of the men as they be
gan to advance through "No Man's
Land."
"In spite of the desperate resistance
of the enemy, whose lines were pro
tected by concrete dugouts scattered
over a wide area and deep mudholes,
which impeded the attacking infantry,
the British were able to gain important
tactical positions.
"In the face of six counter attacks
pushed home vigorously by the enemy,
the British remained in full possession
of the captured objectives, which they
still hold.
"In other sectors of the Western front
there have been trench raids on a large
scale and general activity of some im
portance. "While the British were busily' en
gaged in breaking down the enemy re
sistance in Flanders, the Germans at
tempted minpr diversions alonjr the
French line, paricularly northeast of
Nancy, which were repulsed.
German Attack: Kepulfted.
"East -of Cranne, the French artil
lery broke up an attempted German at
tack while French detachments pene
trated German trenches, destroyed dug
outs and brought back prisoners in the
region of Godat.
"The week has witnessed great ac
tivity in the air. During two days
French bombing expeditions dropped
33,000 pounds of projectiles on enemy
territory, including the barracks and
factories at Stuttgart and the aviation
camp at Col mar, as well as bases south
of Metz.
"Along the Ttalian front the active
operations of the preceding week have
come to a temporary stop. The victor
ious Italian armies are resting after
the great efforts of having conquered
the Monte San Gabriele.
"The Austrians attempted several
strong counter- attacks against the
Bainsizza plateau, all of which were re
pulsed.
"Advices from Russia indicate that
fighting continues in the northern
section.
"Late reports show that the Ger
mans are continuing their offensive and
are now threatening Dvinsk.
"The Dvina has been crossed 25 miles
southeast of Jacobstadt, and this for
tress, which .has been evacuated -by th
Russians, has fallen into the hands of
the enemy. ,
Advance to End Soon.
"Though a wide breach in this front
may seriously endanger the Russian
line, it must be recalled that. the Ger
man advance mast come to an end,
owing to the lateness of .the season.
"News from Russia is delayed, but
indications are that the Russian re
sistance is stiffening.
"Along the Rfumanian front no im
portant action has takenplace. Scout
ing expeditions are reported with occa
sional artillery duels.
"In the valley of the Suchitza. after
a prolonged artillery preparation, the
Roumanians attacked and occupied cer
tain enemy fortified positions. Counter
attacks by the enemy were repulsed.
"There has been no change in the
situation along other fronts."
M'GIl THRILLS CROWD
AMERICANS OF PRO-GERMAN IN
CLINATIONS EXCORIATED.
United States to Be Open Shop and
Union to Stand Before All Labor
Unions. Is Speaker's Attitude.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
Judge Henry McGinn, of Portland, elec
trified an audience which filled the
large auditorium of the new pavilion
at the State Fair tonight with a pa
triotic address in wjiich he excoriated
Americans of pro-German inclinations.
"Bob La Follette is talking treason
today." declared Judge McGinn. "If the
good God will ever forgive me for one
time' praising Bob La Follette I will
spend the rest of my life doing penance.
If a man starts to tell me that what
this country is doing now does not sat
isfy him, I tell him to get on the next
train or the next boat and get out. We
have no politics now, no Republican
no Democrats. We are nothing but
Americans now.
"I am a union labor man, I am in
favor of union labor and I know by ob
servation that whatever labor has got.
whatever safeguards and whatever ad
vantages, they have come from agita
tion and unionism. I am in favor of a
closed shop, even though I will admit
there is something to be said on either
side of the question.
"But there is one shop I want an open
shop and that shop is the United States
of America. More than any other I
love the Union of the United States of
America.
"For the time being we should for
get our differences, and I say to the
laborer that Woodrow Wilson never
lied to a laboring man yet. Laboring
men never had a better friend than
Woodrow Wilson, and when I say this
I do not except my personal friend,
Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest Amer
ican of them all."
Judge McGinn also made an impas
sioned plea for the war library fund.

Important Conference Called for Next
Week In Washington to Facili- .
tate Work.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. Rapid prog
ress already made in getting the Amer
ican air service into ehape to material
ly aid the allies on the fighting front
will be further accelerated at a meeting
by airplane manufacturers, called for
next week in Washington, under the
auspices' of the- Aircraft Production
Board.
Standards for airship parts and equip
ment, worked out by the Society of
Automotive Engineers, will be laid be
fore the manufacturers for approval
and are expected to simplify greatly
the task of obtaining quickly -the
things needed, not only by the Govern
ment, but by the allied air fleets as
well.
The engineers have been working in
conjunction with the international
standards board and many standards
already have been worked out, such , as
engine-testing specifications, safety
belts, controls, bearings, engine sup
ports, grades of steel, bolts and screw
sizes and the like.
Some of these have' been approved for
both American and allied machines and
others will be adopted and put in effect
next week.
