SOUTHERN PACIFIC BALKS
Regional Director Alshton Asks Con
etruction Postponement Because
or War, When Southern Pa- -.
clfio Lodges Protest.
SALEM, Or., Juno 20. (Special.)
The Public Service Commission today
received word from B, H. Aishton. re
gional director for the railroad admin
istration at Chicago,, that the Southern
Pacific has appealed from the com
mission's order requiring the installa
tion of a reinforced concrete crossing
at Divide, in Lane County, because of
war conditions. The regional director
asked the commission to postpone con
struction of the crossing.
In reply Chairman Miller wrote today
urging that the crossing be allowed to
go ahead.
Safety at Heme Desired.
"We are enclosing a clipping from
The Oregonlan of today, one of the
most Influential and widely circulated
papers in the state, which will give you
eome idea of the attitude of the citi
zens of Oregon relative to the con
servation of the greatest resource
which this or any other state possesses,
namely, its citizenship," wrote Mr.
Miller. "Oregon has shown herself to
be extremely patriotic and her citizens
are loyal and anxious to do everything
in their power to prosecute to a auo
cessful conclusion the world war which
Is now being waged in Europe, but we
also, at the same time, wish to pre
serve the lives of our citizens who
may be traveling on the public high
way. "A law was enacted at the last ses
sion of the Legislature giving our com
mission jurisdiction over grade cross
ings and authorizing us to eliminate
or protest such crossings when by
as deemed necessary. We nave suc
ceeded in having many -grade crossings
throughout the state established and
have for many years used our best
efforts in this direction.
Programme Is Curtailed.
"In conjunction with the State High
way Commission we had planned the
elimination of a considerable number
of such dangerous crossings this year,
particularly on hard-surfaced roads,
but owing to the necessity for the
conservation of man power, materials
and funds for war purposes, we now
find ourselves unable to carry this
programme out in full.
"There are, however, a number of
especially hazardous crossings, which
in the opinion of the State Highway
Commission and of our own commis
sion should be eliminated without fur
ther delay. This crossing at Divide
is one of these."

"President Dufuw's response to the
address of welcome took form as
review of th old days and the
achievements of the pioneers. He
spoke of - the hardships they braved
not as one . who claims merlt 'tor the
braving, .but as the evidence of hero
ism that was simple and uncomplain
ing a foundation on which. Oregon
rests. -
They have opened a vast empire
greater than the most sanguine could
predict." Was the president's tribute.
and have made possible the enjoyment
of many thousands of happy homes.
The annual address was delivered by
Judge Fred W. Wilson, of The Pallas,
son or the late Joseph G. and Eiixa
beth Miller Wilson, pioneers of 1861
and 1852, who told of the difficulty
encountered . by the younger genera'
tion in realizing the gift of those who
came before.
Final Victory Pictured.
So he pictured, for -them scenes that
were ones familiar the long trek
across the continent; 'the silent, dan
ger-haunted camps, the strange trails,
and the winning through to the. val
leys of Oregon, And this was sacrifice
he asked his younger listeners to bear
in mind, for it meant the severance of
other -home ties, countless farewells as
the adventurous enterprise set forth,
and many a - backward glance and
memory of places that were never
again to be saen. His tribute to the
work they wrought in the new West
brought an answer of applause.
And the gathering roused again to
applause when that dainty, pretty lit
tie old- lady, Mrs.-Rebecca Barger,
mother queen of Oregon, carried her
93-years up the steps to the stage and
smiled ever so demurely at her sub
jects, while Robert A. Miller, past pres
ident, gave her -greeting in the name
of the association.
"May I ask that you all rise out of
deference to the , mother queen of
Oregon?" suggested Mr. Miller. They
were on theln feet, as leal a conclave
as ever did homage. .
Oregon's Mother Queea Applauded. -
We salute you, mother queen of
Oregon we pioneers of Oregon!" ex
claimed the speaker.
Mr. Miller's tribute was to mother
hood such as Oregon owns, and he
swept into contrast the crimes of
Prussian "kultuv" against womankind,
bringing .cheers and handclapping as
ne asserted mac it was tor tne Diot
ting out pf these infamies that Ore
gon's sons are on the fields of France.
"We crown thee queen. In this far
away Oregon," said the speaker, as he
turned again to Mrs. Barger, "whose
sons are fighting la Franca today; to
maintain womanhood . as the most
splendid thing on this earth. Nor do
we hold that womanhood ever shall
be sacrificed again for imperial
power."
The musical numbers of the pro-
gramme were such as to awaken mem
ory in pleasing mood, for they were
songs of the long ago. Th Veteran
Quartet, In opening, sang "The Stan
Spangled Banner," with the audience
in chorus. Later they rendered two
numbers, "A Flag Without a Stain"
and "The Yankee Man." John Claire
Montieth, grandson of P. B. Whitman,
pioneer of 1843 and grandnephew of
Dr. Marcus Whitman, sang "Believe
Me if AU Those Endearing Young
Charms." The orgn selections and
accompaniments were by Lucien E-
Becken. The invocation and benedic
tion were delivered by the chaplain.
Rev. A. J. Joslyn, IS 62, of Canby, Or.

The banquet following the afternoon
session was profuse with, old-fashioned
good things, and was served by the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Oregon
Pioneer Association, which had spent
several weeks in preparation of the
menu and the prodigious .catering
problems presented.
eorgo H. Mimes, secretary of the
association, was as omnipresent as in
other years, rushing hither and thither
to settle this and that, and doing so
very efficiently. Time and again when
the puzzled pioneers found some prob
lem that required aid, the familiar
advice echoed "ask George Hlmes.
In attendance as a welcome visitor .at
the sessions was William P. Boney,
18G6. of Tacoma, a representative of
the Pierce County (Wash.) Pioneer As

that, the burden of the defense of the
