RAILWAY WORKERS MEET tleacft of Unions In American Fed eration to Be Summoned for Conference Soon. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. Organized labor intends to preserve the right to strike, officials of the American Fed eration of Labor said Saturday In warning that passage in congress of the anti-strike legislation proposed in the pending railroad bill would result in an immediate general walkout over the country. William I". Johnston, president of the International Association of Ma chinists, second largest union affil iated with tne federation, said "direct action" might be resorted to if all other means of advancing the interest of the unions failed. He referred particularly to what he termed the efforts of emplo-ers to shut out unions by binding their workers with individual contracts. He announced that with the passage of the anti-strike legislation he would order immediately a vote on a strike of the 350,000 members of his associa tion and predicted that the heads of the other 112 international unions in the American Federation of Labor would take similar acl.on. Union Official Confer. It was said today that this leg islation was one of the principal rea sons the heads of the unions in the federation were to be summoned here for a conference soon. Officials of the four railroad bro therhoods conferred today with Sam uel Gompers, president, and other officers of the federation. Present at the conference also were representatives of the following farm ers' organizations: The National Board, of Farm Organizations, the Federation of Milk. Producers, the American Society of Equity and the National Farmers union. Mr. Gompers issued the following statement after the meeting: "General discussion ensued regard ing the legislation pending congress inimicable to the rights and interests of industrial and agricultural work ers. Conference Date I Set. "Further discussion ensued regard ing legislation which should be urged at the hands of congress in the inter ests of the above. "It was decided that the call of the conference determined upon by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, should be jointly issued by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor and the railroad brotherhoods. "It was decided that the conference should take place in Washington Sat urday, December 13. "The representatives of the farm ers' organization, although in entire sympathy with the discussion and purposes, stated that they had no au thority from their organizations to join in the call for a conference, but that their conventions, which would be held within a month from now, would be glad to receive invitations upon which to act and select dele Bates." Alliance Held Probable. Some close observers of the indus trial situation said today an alliance between the federation and the bro therhoods appeared more than prob able. Charles S. Barrett, president of the National Farmers' union, and one of the farmers' representatives in the national industrial conference here, issued an appeal today to the farmers to "be prepared to aid our beloved country in her present hour of need." Menaced by entrenched privilege on the one hand and a perilous "red' pro paganda on the other," said Mr. Bar rett, "the nation is facing the most dangerous situation since the civil war. Although reveling in plenty, though business was never more plen tiful, though employment was never more general, the country is sitting on a powder magazine which threatens at any moment to explode, bringing dev astation and untold suffering in its train. "The failure of the industrial con ference to accomplish any concrete thing makes necessary an offensive and defensive alliance between all constructive forces of the country against the common enemy of ex tremism. "In this crisis in the nation's his tory, the farmer must ,et to the helm and he must stay at the helm until the ship of state is brought safely Into the haven of rest." A plea for "real ' sanity" also was made today by Secretary Lane. shelled the shelter where the team was working. The nervy women held their posts, but the next day received orders taking them farther from the fighting and for their bravery were cited by General Pershing. For Cap tain Hynson the experience was but an episode in the line of duty. "We sought no citation and ex pected none," the captain tersely dis missed the interviewer's Question. Wounded boys from the northwest were ministered to by Captain Hyn son' s team. One of these was a lad from Lents, whose name he has now forgotten. The day after the shelling of the post where he wae stationed the Portlander was recommended for promotion to a captaincy. Through In tervention of the armistice the com mission was delayed until last March. On returning to the United States several months ago Captain Hynson was stationed for a short period in an army hospital at New York. It was then his good fortune to be sent into Walter Reed hospital at Washington, D. C, where some thousands of the wounded men brought back from France were rehabilitated. He was assigned to his special department and had charge of facio-maxillary cases. Here it was that he had the pleasure of repairing and rebuilding the missile-torn faces of scores of American boys sent back from Europe. On obtaining his discharge Captain Hynson plans to take a month's rest to recover his health fully, then he will resume his practice In Portland. TJ.'S ESTATE 5810,607 WIDOW TO HOLD ENTIRE PROPERTY IN TRUST. Mother to Fix Proportion to Be Bequeathed to Children Saga more Hill Worth 9180,500. MINEOLA, N. T., Oct. 26. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt left an estate valued at $810,607, according to affi davits filed Saturday with Transfer Tax Appraiser Gehring by executors of the will. After approximately $34,000 has been deducted for funeral expenses, counsel fees and debts, the entire es tate will go to the widow of the ex-president in trust to be distribu ted among their children in any pro portion she may determine. A trust fund of $60,000 given' to Colonel Roosevelt by his father to be used by Mrs. Roosevelt during her life will revert to her children after her death. Sagamore Hill, the Roosevelt estate at Oyster bay, where the colonel died last January, is appraised at $180, 500. The estate also includes corpo rate bonds valued at approximately $394,000, the largest of which is $30, 000 worth of first liberty loan bonds. The bonds also include a $1000 sub scription to the Canadian victory loan and a $3000 Republic of Mexico bond which is listed as worthless. Stocks owned by the former president are valued at approximately $184,000. Royalties to be derived from publi cations of the colonel's books were estimated at $7000, while a value of $21,537 was placed on his libraries. One of the smallest items is one of $285 which represents the value of ewelry. ' Included In the list of appraisals are gifts from various foreign digni- aries, trophies of the colonel s hunt ing expeditions and various paintings, including one given him by the late Pope Leo XIII. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Congress today extended to the widow of ex President Roosevelt the customary mail franking privileges. The bill, having passed the senate, now goes to "the president. - POLICE DETAIN CLERK a. l. Mcdonald held for of- VlCLAJL INVESTIGATION. Silks, Shoes, Clocks, Gloves and Other Loot Alleged to Have Been Taken From Store. SURGEON REMAKES MEN CAPTAIN HYNSON BACK AFTER WORK IN FRANCE. Repairing Faces of Maimed Sol diers Large Part of Doctor's Service 'With Army. Many a eoldier boy is wearing a nose which Captain G. Lee Hynson former Portland physician, helped graft on his face from a piece of rib. Others bear remade jaws, fitted up from bits of shin or hip bones; new ears or new cheeks or new eye-brows transplanted into place for them by Captain Hynson. His part in the restoration of mu tilated faces of victims of the Hun after they were returned to this coun try, was a work in which Captain Hynson took particular pride, but he did his bit in France as a surgeon working just back of the fighting lines. Fragmentary facts about these experiences were gleaned from him Saturday, following his arrival in Portland Friday night. He will go to Vancouver barracks this week to re ceive his discharge papers. Landed overseas as a member of base hospital 46, Captain Hynson, then a lieutenant, was detached and sent forward on a surgical team. First he served in the Vosges. Later he was in the St. Mihiel and Argonne drives, in charge of a surgical team of his own. In the Argonne drive Captain Hyn son was stationed for some days just back of Deadman's hill. Part of the time he was ahead of the American artillery and never was farther back than the rear artillery lines. His team which was working 1 assiduously to care for the backwash of maimed and wounded doughboys cut down in the final days of the fighting, for a short time contained two women nurses. On a particularly frightful day the XI una OREGON SKYLINE, DE LUXE ROUP, PLANNED r Highway Along Summit of Cascades Proposed. . PROJECT HELD FEASIBLE A. L. McDonald, a clerk in the Lip- man, Wolfe & Co. store, was taken nto custody last night by Inspectors Tichenor and Mallett and is being held for investigation. He is alleged to have removed merchandise from his employers' premises to his home dur- ng a period of seven years. Four trunks filled with shoes, silks. alarm clocks, embroidered negligees. Automobile gloves and articles of every description were seized at Mc- j Donald's home. The variety of loot I and the fact that some of It is said to I have been taken from the store seven years ago. and to have lain unused in the McDonald home since that time, indicates the work of a klepto maniac rather than of .an ordinary thief. McDonald was a clerk in the stock room. One of his duties was to lock up the room after the other employes had left. He had workea at tne store intermittently for years. SEATTLE MAN APPOINTED Erastnr Brainerd to Represent Paraguay In Northwest. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 26. Spe- cial.) Erastur Brainerd, ex-news paper man and ex-member of -the Se attle park board, has been appointed consular representative for the re public of Paraguay by the minister from Paraguay in Washington, D. C He will have jurisdiction over the largest consular territory in the United States, that of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. Mr. Brainerd represented Paraguay at Philadelphia under President Cleveland's administration and is fa- iliar with the duties of the office. He intends to promote trade between this section of the United States and Paraguay. He will retain offices in the Central building for the present. 200-Mile Thoroughfare Through Region of Splendor Would Also Have Economical Value. Oregon Skyline! This is the desig nation adopted by the State Chamber of Commerce for a proposed scenic highway, the like of which doe not exist anywhere. Its course to De along the backbone of the Cascades between Mount Hood and Crater lake national park. Stretching for a distance of approxi mately 200 miles through the Ump qua. Cascade. Deschutes. Santiam and Oregon national forests is a wealth of scenic splendor unsurpassed, with the varied verdure Indigenous to the region, where the forests of sugar and yellow pine merge with the stately nr, and where one may view the far reaches of the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue river valleys on the west and the broad highlands of central Oregon to the eastward as far as the eye can reach. The state chamber conceived the idea of this highway of tourist at tractions de luxe and proposed it to George Cecil, chief forester of the Portland district, who received the suggestion with favor. Feasibility of the project makes it unique, and that it will, when realized, add an asset of great value to the development of an Immense section now remote from routes of travel, makes It doubly im portant. Road CoaaeettoBB Plaaaed. At Its southern end the road would have three terminals one connecting with the Crater lake read at Union creek (John Day road), one connect ing with the Fort Klamath-Crescent road, and one connecting with the rim road around Crater lake. All these roads would converge near Dia mond lake. From Diamond lake the road would probably drop down Thlel son creek, passing the summit at an altitude of 5700 feet to Crescent lake. Here It would connect with the old Cascade mountain military road run ning from Eugene to Crescent-Fort Klamath, and now the m -In traveled highway for summer tourist travel into the upper Deschutes and Klam ath basin regions. Thence It would pass along the west side of Crescent lake on to Odell lake and along the south and west shore of that resort of fishermen. Proceeding north, it would skirt the east shore of Waldo lake and across the summit to Cultus lake, thence northeast past Lava, Elk and Sparks lakes. Again crossing the summit it would flank the Three Sisters to Frog Camp, where connection weld be made with the McKenzie road, eight miles from the point where that high way crosses the div. 'e. Thence northward it would follow the edge of the lava fields to Clear lake and Fish lake, where connection is made with the Santiam road. 12 miles west of the Cascade summit; thence east to Lost lake; thence north and east, passing Three-Fingered Jack and to Marion lake; thence east and north, west of the summit, passing Mount Jefferson to Ollalie lakes and north along the Cascade summit to the Mount Hood loop. Summit Rente Practicable. The only practicable route is on and near the eummit, which neces sarily makes it at a high elevation. The following arc the elevations of some of the principal areas along the route: Crater lake rim, about 7000 feet: Diamond lake, 5200; summit north of Diamond lake toward Cres cent lake, about 5700; Crescent lake, 4837; Odell lake. 4900; Waldo lake, 5600; Sparks lake, 5400. Along the summit and along the route by and north of Mount Jefferson it reaches 6000. , On account of. great snowfall, the season would therefore be short, pos sibly limited to the latter half of July and August and September. Some of the construction would be comparatively inexpensive, but the total cost for a dirt road would be approximately $2,500,000. This is de termined from a study of the Informa tion shown In the compilations of the forest service. A complete reconnais ance of the road will have to be made as early next year as conditions will permit to get exact information aa to cost. Economic Value Shorn. Its importance In the administration of the national forests makes it in every way a desirable achievement. There are large areas of mature tim ber now not easily accessible, rich grazing lands now but partially util ized, and the forest and fire patrol service would be materially benefited by the establishment of the highway All along the course, of the divide are suitable locations for airplane land ings. already selected by the forest service, and there are countleea sites for camp grounds. Commenting upon the advantages of the proposed Oregon Skyline. George Quayle, secretary of the state chamber, said: "Construction of this road should be hastened to connect Crescent with the Willamette valley by way of Sum I mit and Crescent lakes.

Grazing: interests In central and eastern Oregon would be benefited by the easy transportation of live stock and by the decreased cost of bringing supplies to mountain camp. New ranges could doubtless be opened up and made accessible. "One-fifth of the standing- timber of the United States lies in Oregon. To the east of the proposed road is Ore gon's largest yellow pine forest and to the west the Immense stands of flr and other western Oregon species. This timber resource, the largest nat ural resource In Oregon, must be "pro tected. This protection has been very seriously hampered In the past through lack of any efficient means for the discovery of fires In their in clpiency. "The Oregon Skyline road would vastly Increase the adequacy of this protection. The road. vith frequent airplane landings, would form a base t high altitude at the very crest of the state and overlooking a large part of the state's timbered areas. from which the airplane forest patrol could efficiently work. "Rarely in the .world has a - road been constructed through a region so xtraordinary in a multitude of scenic attractions. The opulence in scenery found in the snow-capped peaks towering above nume-ous little val leys, dotted with numberless lakes, would astound the visitor. As an at traction, the road would be a magnet drawing tourists in countless numbers to the Oregon Skyline. Here the fisherman would at last find his para dise. Large numbers of these lakes were stocked with trout several years ago. The road would also tap the headwaters of mountain streams now practically unknown to the anerler. r S5 Mil llPf WANTED 2000 Thoughtful Thrifters IF we can encourage the opening of SAVINGS ACCOUNTS by that many people by January first thus making a total of 15,000 Savings Accounts carried at the Northwestern National Bank we will have contributed still more relief from the H.
