selected route through Yamhill
town; Fourth street at The Lalles,
along railroad to old railroad
grade for Columbia highway.
Decided to lend indefinitely two
trucks to every .county.
Declined to narrow road in
Ochoco canyon. Crook county.
By spreading the co-operative pro
jects over a period of years, instead
of finishing them up in the next twro
years, as had been hoped, the state
highway commission decided yesterday,
in consultation with Mr. Cecil, govern
ment representative, that money will
be available to carry out the original
programme. It was calculated that
enough resources will be available for
the state to hold up its end, and there
is hope that congress will make new
appropriations to take care of the
government end.
Revision of estimates disclosed that
more money is needed on all projects
than was first supposed. C. H. Pur
cell explained to the commissioners
that estimates had been guesses, and
That only recently had the surveys
been completed and official estimates
made. For instance, he explained, be
cause originally suggested that the
Mount Hood loop could be built for
$514,000, whereas when the govern
ment completed the suryey and es
timate recently it disclosed thatit will
cost $900,000. It will be 1922 before
htis loop is finished. The entire co
operative programme will require a
longer period than anticipated to allow
time for revenues to come in.
Klamath Work to Be Started.
To expedite sections on co-operative
work. Commissioner Booth moved that
the Klamath Falls-Dairy section be put
up as a project as son as possible, and
that the same action be taken with
the Klamath Falls-Olene section, and
the Lakeview north section, which will
extend about 30 miles. Once these
projects get under way, the commission
plans to follow them up with other
sections, such as on the Silver Lake.
On the Roseburg-Coos Bay road the
estimate is $1,050,500. Mr. Booth
moved that the section from Camas
west to the north fork of the Coquille
river, approximately 14 miles, and the
worst part of this road, be put up as
a project first, and that Douglas and
Coos counties be asked to aid.
Bids on the Hayes hill section of the
Grants Pass- Crescent City road a co
operative project, exceeded the estimate
to such an extent that the commission
decided to let this improvement drop
unless the county is willing to make
up the difference.
Lane Ia Decided On.
A matter which has been long in
controversy between Chairman Benson
and Comissmioner Booth was settled
by the vote of Commissioner Thompson.
This was the location of the road de
Bcribed in the law as "a point in Lane
county and a point in Coos county,'
commonly referred to as the Eugene
Florence road. Mr. Benson has in
sisted on the selection of the high pa
road and Mr. Booth has advocated the
low pass route.
To bring the matter to an Issue, Mr.
Booth made the motion that the road
ne located rrom Deaawood east via
Lake creek, Blanchy, the low pass,
Cheshire to the Pacific highway. Mr.
Thompson, who went over the two
routes this week, seconded the motion,
with the information jhat he will file
a statement with the secretary giving
his reason. Chairman Benson declared
the motion carried, and said he, too,
will file a statement telling why be
objects.
Crosniiiff Ranse Kxprnnive.
Mr. Booth explained that it will be
an expensive road to finish and that;
ne aoes not want to crowd in lor funds,
but in view of the urgent need of
crossing the mountain, he asked that
a 50-50 proposition be put up to the
county for the four or five miles across
the mountain range. He fants the
work on this section done this and next
year. Mr. Thompson agreed after
few technicalities were straightened
out, and Mr. Benson voiced his objec
tion, but declared the motion carried
The high pass road is 20 miles and
the low pass 27 miles. The estimate
on the former is $311,000 and on the
latter $423,600. but since, the estimate
was made, rock has been found on the
low pass, which would make the cost
of macadamizing each road the same
Commissioner Thompson said that the
low pass is an all-year road and serves
more people than the high pass route
On the section to be advanced. Lan
county is to pay 50 per cent; the state
1'5 per sent and the government the
same. I
Having disposed of this long contro- i
verted subject, the commission plunged
in to settle other disputes. The road
in Yamhill was located through the
town, instead of taking a proposed
new location.
West Side Route t hofM-n.
Next the commission selected the
west side route at Newberg, agreeing
that it was the right thing to do not
withstanding the strong demand that
this route be not taken. The costs on
the new location will be less than
on the old. Commissioner Thompson
moved that the Columbia river high
way be located from Fourth street, in
The Dalles, west along the railroad
right-of-way, to the old railroad grade.
Mr. Thompson had formerly opposed
this route and Mr. Benson had advo
cated it.
The Dalles-Chen owith paving con
trac twas declared cancelled, having
been let when the highway was lo
cate! between those points instead of
along the railroad, at the county farm.
The $15,000 which Wasco county had
set aside for co-operation on t he
Chenowith route can be used as the
county sees fit on the balance.
Regarding the appeal of the board
of conciliation to the commission that
the highway body use its influence
on paving contractors having a dis
pute with rollermen to submit to
arbitration the highway commission
came to this decision: The highway!
commission favors the principle of
arbitration, but there are other state
boards to adjust differences, and the
matter is not within the jurisdiction
of the commission.
Bidn Are Called For.
That stretch between Scappoose and
McBride's crossing is the only piece
on the Columbia river highway, be
tween Hood River and Astoria, not
under conract for paving. The com
mission ordered it advertised for the
next meeting. But for the rejection
of the bid on the Astoria-Seaside sec
tion the Scappoose-McBride section
would be the only part between Hood
River and the Pacific ocean not con
tracted for paving.
On the Baker-Cornucopia road. 7.9
miles, the commission decided to gravel
for a width of 10 feet instead of 16
feet, as a matter of economy. Also on
the economical end. the engineer was
instructed to reduce the cost of sur
veys as much as possible on new lo
cations where there is no immediate
work in prospect.
At the September meeting the com
mission will sell $1,000,000 of the 4
per cent bonds. The highway work is
now progressing- at the rate of about
$50,000 a day.

RECORDS BELIE MYERS
POSTMASTER TAKES CREDIT
FOR RISES IiAW REQUIRES.
Statement That Many Begged for
Exemption Also Refuted, as Most
- Employes Enlisted.
Although Postmaster Myers gives
himself credit for having- granted in
creases to returned service men, sec
tion of the posiuifice appropriation
act, passed by congress, reveals the
fact that all postal employes who en
tered mfHtary or naval service were to
te reassie-ned to their positions follow
ing their honorable discharge, at the
salary to which they would have been
increased automatically had they re
mained in the postal service.
In the statements issued by Postmas
ter Myers in the controversy between
himself and Mayor Baker, much stress
was laid upon the fact that the re
turned service men had been re
employed at increased salaries, with
the credit for such increases reflect
ing upon the postmaster.
Postmaster Mirers, in his last state
ment, contended that the complaints
now arising from returned service men
ere due to his obdurate refusal to al
low exemptions, even to the extent of
refusing men who, ha claimed, came
to hs office in tears and befjped that
his power De exertea to exempt them
from military service.
But service records at the poRtofftce
hardly tend to bear out these conten
tions of the postmaster, as it is said
that out of 37 postal clerks who left
the Portland postof f ice to enter mili
tary service. 28 voluntarily enlisted and
but nine were taken through selective
service channels.
Captain James O. Convill, chairman
of the employment committee of Port
land Post No. 1, American Legion, said
yesterday that his investigation of the
charges preferred against the postmas
ter bv returned soldiers had begun, but
that he had nothing in connection with
the investigation, to make public at
this time.
Investigation of charges that Post
master Myers has been unfair and
discriminatory in his treatment of over
seas men who hav-e returned to the
postal service has been ordered by
Scout Young post of the United
Spanish war veterans.
The veterans named a committee
composed of L. E. Beach, H. V. Reed
and James Reushall, to institute a
thorough investigation at once and to
report their findings at the next meet
ing of the camp, which will be held at
the courthouse, August 12.
CABLE DEFENDS WHEELER
Physician in Charge of War Bii'
reau Replies to Legion Charges.
Dr.- E. E. Cable, who is in charge
of the district comprising: Oregon,
Washington and Idaho for the war
risk insurance bureau of the United
States public health service, yesterday
issued a statement defending Lr. C. H.
Wheeler, who has been characterized
in resolutions adopted by the American
lesrion as having- been "roxigh and in
suiting" in caring for disabled ex
service men in making examinations.
In his statement Dr. Cable points out
that his assistant has been in gov
ernment service for 25 years and was
employed because of that fact. Men
who ..saw military service and who
make examinations are Lieutenant
Colonel R. C. Yenny, Lieutenant-Colonel
G. C. Strohm. Captain L. Wolf and Dr
Lupton. It is said by Dr. Cable that
Dr. Wheeler has no part in conduct
ing - examinations.

MEDICAL MONOPOLY
SEEN BY DRUGGISTS
Limiting of Alcohol" Content
Blamed on Doctors.
BILLS WILL BE ATTACKED
Association Says Measures Would
Result in Rifling of Pocket of
Poor Man by Physician.
Charges that the Volstead bill and
other proposed legislation before con
gress would establish a medical monop
oly in the United States, enslave the
working man and the man of small
means to the physician and destroy the
egitimate drug business, were made by
Portland and northwest druggists gath
ered at the assembly hall of the Mult
nomah hotel for the annual session
under the auspices of the Oregon State
Pharmaceutical association yesterday.
They went on record as condemning the
Volstead bill and similar bills and urg
ing Oregon members of congress to
oppose them.
The Volstead bill would prevent the
sale of all medicines and drugs con
taining more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol except upon a doctor's
prescription. The druggists declared
yesterday that this bill is a blow
against the poor man, that it would
make him patronize a doctor and would
place beyond his reach, except through
physician, such household drugs as
spirits of camphor, spirits of nitre.
iodine tincture, etc. A similar bill was
up before the Oregon legislature ai
the last session, but was defeated.
Union to Start Trouble
The "alcohol" bill was the only mat
ter considered at the session yesterday,
and the remaining questions to come
before the meeting will be taken up at
the business sessions today. Some
warm discussion is expected, especially
while the question of recognition of the
recently organized Drug Clerks' union
is considered.
Several other questions s.re up for
consideration today, among them the
"venereal bill" passed by the last ses
sion of the legislature. The druggist
are expected to make a strong fight
for the repeal of this measure.
The resolution adopted yesterday
condemning the proposed Volstead bill
was as follows:
Resolution, against unfair legislation tend
insr towards destruction of Iegitl
mate drug- business through fanatical, senti
mental and competitive sources, sucn bj
unbalanced sentiment, prohibition en
thusiasm and the American Medlca.1 asso
ciation DTOOaranda. leading to bills which
create a monopoly in the sale of drugs
for the medical profession, by the Oregon
State Pharmaceutical association:
Medical Trust Discovered.
"Whereas, the Volstead bill is one of those
bills backed by one and all of the above
classifications in its first appearance with
the direct attack for the purpose of de
stroying the legitimate drug business: and
for destroying the opportunity of the public
for determining whether they should use
or not use any drugs whatsoever, that con
tains over one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol
without paying tribute to the medical pro
fe.ion :
Whereas, we all fully realize that this
means a direct attack on the poor man and
his readv-tnade medicine by compelling him
to patronize a doctor - before he would be
allowed to purchase the simplest of medi
cines that happened to be liquids containing
over one-half of one per cent of alcohol:
Be it resolved by the members of the Ore
gon Pharmaceutical association that we con
aider it our national duty and right to pro
test against this proposed law which leads in
reality to a medical monopoly against the
interests of not omy the drug business, as
a bufineFS, but the pocket book of our best
friend, the working man, or the man with
small means.
Be it further resolved, that we not only
go on record before our congressmen
Washington for the protection of the work
ing man, and the man of small means,
against a medical monopoly, but that we
also ko on record that each and every one
of the members of the Oregon State Pharma
ceutical association snail. Individually and
in convention, begin a campaign with the
people by conversation, by advertising and
other methods as to the full meaning and
intent of this vicious law broupht up
produce th most vlclou monopoly."

MURDER CHARGE IS FILED
MARTIN CLAKK HAS PRELIMI
NARY HEARING TODAY.
Authorities at Eugene Still Are
Seeking Evidence Regarding
Death of Charles Taylor.
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.)
District Attorney L. I. Ray filed a
charge of second degree murder today
against Martin Clark, road worker of
McKenzie Bridge, who accompanied
Charles Taylor, road supervisor,- on the
hunt at the time the latter was killed
by a gunshot wound over a week ago.
Preliminary hearing in the case will be
held tomorrow morning.
So far only circumstantial evidence
has been secured by the authorities, al
though they have been diligently work
ing on every clew which would throw
light on the case. The rifles and
cartridges used by Clark and Taylor
are being examined by Sheriff Fred
Stickles to determine if possible which
gun fired the bullet from the shell
picked up at the scene of the tragedy.
Opinion, generally, seems to favor
the supposition that who ever fired the
shot saw only the head of an animal
carried on Taylor's shoulders. No foot
prints were found near the scene and.
it is believed that upon realizing his
mistake, the slayer left the spot.
Clark is held at the county jail and
still maintains his Innocence. He does
not vary from the story which he told
the authorities at the outset.

WATER RADIO IS SUCCESS
REVOLUTIONIZING OF TRANS
MISSIONS PREDICTED.
Message From Annapolis Informing
British Admiralty or Sighting of
F-3 4 Is First Proof.
SAN' DIEGO, CaL, Aug. 6. As a re
sult of discoveries at a little experi
mental station on a barge unnoticed
for the past two months in San Diego
bay. radiography will be revolution
ized by transmissions through the
earth and water, inBtea'd jf the air, ac
cording to an announcement made here
today by Lieutenant R. A. Morton, of
the navy radio laboratory at Mare
island, who has conducted the experi
ments. First proof of the success of the
under water radio in trans-continental
transmission through tnd earth, it was
revealed, was when the United States
navy department sent a message from
the Annapolis station to the British ad
miralty that the great dirigible F-34
had been sighted off the American
coast. Lieutenant Morton was at his
Instruments, heard the message and
copied it in its entirety.
Additional advantage of the earth
and water transmission is declared to
be in that the underwater cables can
be pointed like a gun toward any sta
tion desired to communicate with and
so single out such a one, whereas
aerial antennae are equally affected
by waves from all directions. At the
station in the bay there are 10,000 feet
of very heavily insulated cable laid on
the bottom, these cables extended in
different directions. By turning
switch, instruments can be connected
with any one desired.

BEND MAN STILL MISSING
Uncle Believes Walter Beesley Is
on His Way to Portland.
BEND, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.) That
Walter Beesley, who disappeared from
his home in Bend last week, may be on
his way to Portland, is the belief of his
uncle, W. L. Moody of The Dalles, who
has been heading the searchers and
who left today for the Willamette val
ley to continue the hunt.
This theory, however, is at variance
with information received by Sheriff
Roberts, who learned today that Bees-'
ley had been seen more than 30 miles
frcm Bend, heading for the Cascade
mountains, and carrying no equipment
of any sort.
Officials in the Cascade forest have
been ordered to watch for the missing
