This route parallels the Columbia River and the tracks of the O.-W. R. & X.- Company and involves considerable heavy construction work, including rock cuts and tunneling. The estimat ed cost is J352.324.50 for the five miles between the two points, but the Com mission figured that it would be much shorter than the alternate route over "the bluff and that the final cost would be less. - State Engineer Nunn was instructed lo prepare plans at once, so bids can "be called for and the work begun be fore Winter sets in. .

Orenco wno its fight to have the vest side Pacific Highway routed that way . between Portland and Hillsboro instead of by Reedville. The Commis sion decided in favor of the Orenco routing yesterday, after having per sonally Inspected both routes. It was found that the Reedville route involves five dangerous railway crossings, on one of which occurred the accident Sunday that caused the death of three persons and the serious injury of four others. The Commission did not conclude all the work before it yesterday and will meet again today.

He has already been Instructed to call for bids.

"By sending this money away it becomes in whole or in part liable to use by our enemies in prose cuting the war against this country and our allies. "In all such cases, until the termina tion of the war, it will be the policy of my court to order the final settle ment of such estates continued.' In the meantime, all surplus funds in these estates, instead of being deposited in some bank and drawing a small rate of interest, will, by order of the court, be invested in liberty bonds to the credit of the estate."

WHY BLOOD SHOULD BE RED The bright red color of the blood Is caused by the presence in It of red corpuscles. It is these little bodies that carry nourishment to the tissues. They also cause the flow of health in cheeks and lips. When the blood Is deficient In these red corpuscles the person not only be comes pale, but the body is under nourished, the weight is usually re duced and as the nerves share in the general starvation some form of nerv ousness follows. When the blood is improved in quality the tissues are better nourished and all the functions of the body are better performed. When the blood lacks red corpus cles it is a scientific fact that a course of treatment with rr. Williams' Pink I ills will cause them to increase. This can be demonstrated by a microscroaic examination and anyone can prove It by looking in a mirror, for an increase in red blood shows quickly In the cheeks and especially in the lining membranes of the eyelids.
