THE JIOKMNU OKEGOMAX, WEDNEsDAi, .NOV '., HIGHWAY BID IS BELOW ESTIMATE Grading of Wolf Creek-Grave's Creek Hill to Be Done for, $56,947. SEASON'S WORK IS SHOWN cent action In designating the route of the West Side Pacific Highway through Washington County, from the Multnomah County line to Hillsboro, to be via Orenco. A large delegation from Beaverton and that vfcinity urged that the High way be routed via Beaverton and Reed ville. Data were submitted to show that this route is shorter from the Multnomah County line to Hillsboro and that it eliminates the 8.2 per cent grade in the Canyon road in Multno mah County, Inasmuch as their pro posed route would enter Portland over the Slavin road. Another delegation from Orenco and vicinity urged the Commission to stand pat, and presented figures to show that from the Courthouse at Hillsboro to the Courthouse in Portland the Orenco route is shorter. The Commission took the matter un der advisement. TYIth Reduction of Notorious Hill to 5 Per Cent Grade, Drive Through Oregon Will Be Pass able During Entire Tear. for a- sum approximately Jl 6.000 less than the estimate of the State Highway Bngineer for the job, and more than $38,000 below the high bid, the State Highway Commission yester day awarded the contract for grading of a new road over the Wolf Creek Graves Creek hill in Josephine County to the American exploration & Con tracting Company. This company, which has the backing of Twohy Bros., asked only $56,947 for the work. State Highway Engineer Nunn had estimated the cost at ap proximately $73,000. and the high one of nine bids submitted was $95,348.50. The Commissioners were much Pleased at receiving go low a bid from, a reliable company. There will be al most enough money left over from the estimate to macadamize the new road alter.it is built. Every motorist will be pleased to learn that work on rebuilding the road over this notorious 'hill is to begin at once. The new road will be approxi mately five miles long and is to be completed in the-Spring; Stretch Notoriously Dad. The present Wolf Creek-Graves Creek hill, between the two creeks nfter which It is named, is probably the worst stretch on the Pacific Hlgh v.ay. Compared to it the road over Rob erts' hill is a boulevard. The road proes one and one-quarter miles straight up on one side and then straight down on the other, the worst of it being that the grade increases near the top, where for the lwnt 300 or 400 feet the angle of ascent is 20 per cent. State Highway Engineer Nunn found - 16 cars stuck on this hill when he went over it the other day. His own car was unable to make the climb on low gear until everybody aboard had piled out and shoved from behind. The other cars got over with the aid of a country man and four mules. The new road will have a grade not crreater than 5 per cent and i '.11 be a Joy to travel over for any person who remembers the terrors of the present 0 per cent grade. Nine Bids Submitted.' The nine bidders on the Job yester day and the amount of the bid made by each are as follows: American Exploration & Contracting Company, low bidder, $56,947.90; J. F. Keddy, $84,443.12; James T. Logan, $77 f.89.46; Calvert & Walker, $67,963.90; United Contracting Company, $74, 456.72; Reliance Construction Company, $76,913.18; A. J. Hildeburn, $80,401.56 Warren Construction Company, $78,- 697.70, and E. T. Johnson, $95,348.50. More good news for motorists is that the Cow Creek Canyon road on the Pa cific Highway south of Giendale is to be rebuilt by next Spring. The com mission virtually completed arrange ments with District Forester Cecil, of the United States Forestry Service, for Government co-operation on regrading nnd macadamizing the road. The dis tance is- about 10.6 miles. With the road through Pass Creek Canyon being entirely rebuilt by the commission, so that it will be ready for travel next Spring, Cow Creek Canyon to be improved and a contract soon to be let for a new road over Roberts Mountain, the perils of auto mobile travel over the Pacific Highway in Southern Oregon soon will be a matter of the past. Highway to Be Ail-Year Road. Since it took over the road problem In Oregon last June, the State High way Commission has taken steps to clean up virtually every bad piece on the whole Pacific Highway from Port land south to the Califprnia line. Many of these places have already been eliminated, work is going on to im prove others, such as Pass Creek Can yon, while contracts have been let for improvement of the rest. By next Fall it will be possible for automobiles to travel the length of the Pacific Highway in Oregon in any weather barring only deep snow in the Siskiyous. But the highway will have become an all-year road so far as being" passable in rainy weather is concerned. State Highway Engineer Nunn sub mitted a report to the commission showing progress of road work since the commission took charge on June 1, up to November 1, to be as follows: "Twelve and one-half miles of pav lng laid and 15 miles of macadam and 81,800 cubic feet of excavating, ' Much Hard-Surface Laid. "The hard-surfacing shown In the report follows: Astoria to Svejson, 5100 lineal feet; Rex-Tigard, 18.000 lineal feet; Sheridan section, 9200 lineal feet; Tillamook to Cloverdale, 2500 lineal feet; Pendleton east, 27.500 lineal feet Pendleton west, 3800 lineal feet.

Rival Delegation Heard. Considerable time at . yesterday's meeting was devoted to a hearing ot rival delegations urging and opposing reconsideration of the Commission's re- LA PINE MAN COMPLAINS DESCHUTES 1AD COMPANY SAID TO BE GIVIXG VP TRACT. A. A. Aya Declare East Side Lands Are to Be Abandoned In Favor of 'West Side Project. - SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) Alfred A. Aya, of La Pine, president of the La Pine .Townsite Company, has sent4o the Desert Land Board a letter in which he declares that J. E. Morson, of the Deschutes Land Company, con templates abandoning what is known as the East Side tract of Segregation List No. 11, which includes that com pany's properties, and that as. a result heavy losses will be sustained by tnose who have Invested in the East Side. The segregation . In its - entirely in cludes 31,000 acres of land, of which 27,000 acnes come under the project and of this about 10,000 acres are on the West Side tract and 17,000 acres on the Eas Side tract. Which is to be abandoned. Mr. Aya suggests that the Desert Land Board take speedy action in tak ing over, without cost, the East Side tract and allow the settlers to develop it and operate it. He says that Morson trading West Side lands for East Side lands at about double the price of the East Side lands and leaving the buildings and improvements on the East Side tract high and dry at a total loss. Mr. Morson also has advised the board that it is useless to attempt to complete the East Side tract, and thus confirms the assertions of Mr. Aya. The Desert Laad Board probably will take the letters under consideration at an early meeting. EDITOR LAX IN LOYALTY Myrtle Point Commercial Club Ar raigns Enterprise Publisher. MYRTLE POINT, Or..

PORTLAND. fcinaiw mm ii ill i Mil in IttifflinnrtnM I'MftfniftfctfWniftfrrMri rr -irm-rn Brigadier-General Henry C. Hodgea. Brigadier-General Henry C. Hodges, whose death occurred last Saturday, was a familiar fig urge in the Northwest and had many friends in Portland, where he was a frequent visitor. - At the time of his last visit to Portland General HodgeB was be lieved to be the oldest graduate of the United States Military Academy, having been graduated fr.om West Point in 1851. He was born in Castleton. Vt.. in 1831, and was assigned to duty at Van couver in 1856 with the Fourth infantry and later with the same regiment at The Dalles. He served until 1894 and was instrumental in the location survey of the Northern --Pacific road through Washington and Idaho. He was retired in 1895. General Hodges left a son, Henry C. Hodges, Jr., who is him self a Brigadier-General, com manding a brigade in a Southern cantonment camp. SALARY INCREASE GENERAL Permanent Fund for Improvements and Extensions Proposed Aver age Cost of Tuition In Port land Is $31.74 Per Capita. As had been predicted, the law passed by the last Legislature to the effect that school districts of the first class Qv not exceed 6 mills in their tax lovfon im nrovinic vexatious to tne fori land school authorities and some way out is now being discussed. Th Tilnn has sugeestea useii. iq . . . ,-, i 1,1 that members or tne ui . . a special election be caueo. ai which the question of voting an additional 1-mill levy will be submitted to the voters. This extra mill, it is declared. is essential to provide tor a consistent building programme. Unless something nice mis is aone, the school authorities will find them selves In a bad hole, it is pointed out. for the 6-mlll levy, strictly adhered to, brings in less revenue than is required for the ilgid requirements of the dis trict. As a matter of fact the returns from the 6-mill tax are Inadequate to pay teachers' and other salaries of the d istrict. A 6-mill tax on the assessed valua tion of $288,000,000 results in 1. 728.000 revenue. Teachers' salaries alone are II 591.000 and other salaries of 188.000 make a sum greater than the proceeds from the 6-mlll assessment. Total Revenue Put at f 2,355,000. Fortunately, however, the district has other sources of income, such as 1400.- 000 from the county school fund, $90,000 from the state school fund and $37,000 from other sources. All revenue in Bia-ht for the district this year is $2,255,000. It is provided, however, in the law that the district may levy an additional amount necessary to pay any bonded debt or outstanding warrants hereto fore lawfully issued. For this purpose there will be required during 1918 a tax of three-tenths of 1 mill, which will bring In $86,400. which will provide for Interest on Portland's bonded school fleht of $818,500. This figure is as of last April and it Is the. lowest figure In similar statistics from all major cities In the Pacific Northwest, including Salt Lake City. To exDlain where the school distric money goes, in order that citizens may be advised of the exact situation.' the school officials have issued a circular that shown just the needs of the year. Durincr the present month the Parent- Teacher organizations of the district are discussing school revenues, and members of the School Board and school officials are discussing the esti mates at Parewt-Teacher ' meetings, where the circulars are being dis tributed.. Estimates Precede Budget. The estimates are preparatory t tnnklner ud the school budget, -which it Is hoped to complete this month. In order to submit It to the county Jom missioners for consideration in form ing the usual annual estimate of ex penditures. The circular just made shows teach ers' salaries to require 70.6 per cent of total expenditures, while other sal aries require 8.8 per cent, while the 6-mill levy will bring in only 76.6 per cent of the total revenue. Supplies and equipment account for 15.1 per cent of disbursements - and teachers retirement fund, streets and sewers, insurance, etc., account for the remaining disbursements. Thus all the revenue of the district is accounted for, without one cent for buildings, either maintenance, other than janitor service, or new construc tion. It is the tentative plan, proposed by Directors, to put the building plans on a permanent basis, somewhat after the present system followed In dis bursements by the city for park pur poses. For this reason It is proposed to place before the voters the proposal to vote an additional 1-mill tax. Attendance la Increasing". Attendance in the city schools is ever on the increase, and some provi sion. It is explained, must be made to provide for the growing strength of the student body of the public schools. The 1 mill additional tax asked would bring in $288,000, which would be suf ficient, it is predicted, to provide two buildings each year. This nrovlsion for the future is warranted by conditions, school offi cials point out. While there Is now some excess space in city scnooi buildings, this is not In those sections where it can be used to advantage, being In th suburban schools, chiefly, while overcrowding threatens In the West Side schools. If the 1 mill added tax is votea, as is desired, at a special school elec tion vet to be fixed, the school dis trict tax will total 7.3 nuus, as com pared with 6.8 mills last year. Eatlmate Near Highest on Record. Only once In the past seven years has the annual school budget exceeded this figure, when in 1914 the total levy for the school district was 7.8 ml us. One of the chief sources Of added ex- nense for the coming year is the ad vance in teachers' salaries. Consistent rises throughout the list have Deen necessitated by the increased coat of liviner. The circular Just lssuea snows tne average per capita cost for education of Portland school children during the past school year was 51.7. -rnis varies according to the number of pupils in the schools and is usually highest in schools with small attendance, while It droos where attendance is heaviest.
