The decision to suspend work on two road Jobs, aggregating 1300,000, because of Judge Skipworth's decision in the Riddle case, was reconsidered by- the state highway commission be fore adjournment last night, and it wan concluded to have these contracts carried- on pending the decision or the supreme court in an appeal of the liiddle case. The n:atter was brought up by It. A. Booth, commissioner, who said that according to Judge Skip worth the highway commission has no right to lay oat and locate a road and that no one Is authorized to locate a road except county courts. 'If this decision is the law," said Mr. Booth, "then the commission has violated it in two instances; first in Crook county, by the road from Prlne-' ville to the Shorty Davis ranch, and, second, in the Salem-Dallas road." DcclNlun la Reconsidered. Mr. Booth then moved that these contracts be suspended and no further action be taken until the Bupreme court is heard from. Later in the day tho commission consulted attorneys and decided to have the work on these loads carried on. The Crook county road is 20 miles in length and about half the distance has been graded by lie contractor. A. Guthrie. "The price is $199,588. The Salem-Dallas road is 14 miles long, four of which have been paved and most of the remainder lias been graded. Oskar Huber has this contract for $320,742. The commission is awaiting a reply from Clackamas county to the pro position submitted Wednesday. The commission offers to pay two-thirds of- the cost of constructing a new bridge across the river at Oregon City, if the county will provide the route for the Pacific highway through the city. The two routes that would be satisfactory to the commission is the one underground and around the bluff, near the Hawley paper mill, and the other Is the present tem porary route, which will require an overhead. Both routes are expensive. The commission also wants an acknowledgement from Clackamas county for the J225.000 loaned the county by the commission for making a grade for the Pacific highway. One member of the Clackamas county court wants the liiKliway commission to consider the sum as a gift instead of a loan. Trail Work Opposed. Commissioner Kiddle announced that before voting on the proposed development of the Tiller trail cutoff to Crater lake-in Douglas county, he personally will go over the ground. This trip will be about June 10. Chair man Benson wants $15,000 or $20,00 appropriated to connect the dead ends of the trail so that the work can be carried on this year and the trail can bo used as a detour when the com mission starts paving the Canyon sec tion; of the Pacific highway. There Is considerable opposition to building this cutoff, coming chiefly from the northern part of the state, for south bound tourists could take the cutoff to the lake and not visit Medford or Ashland. On the other hand, the for- estry service would like to have the trait finished as a fire protection. Oi the Oregon and Washington highway the commission announced yesterday that a route through lone would bo favored, which would elim inate grade crossings. The request from lone called for the commission building two crossings. A sign system, long under consider ation by the commission, was adopted yesterday. All highways will be desig nated by number, after the Wisconsin fashion, and the California letter eigns also will be used. Thus instead of having large signs on the Pa cific highway designating it by name, it will be dotted with large "No. 1" nd the Columbia highway posts will carry "No. 2." The lettered signs will show distances between towns in com pact form. Trior to adjournment the commis sion agreed to rock from Oaston to Yamhill as soon as the grade, now being made. Is completed. This sec tion- will bo paved later when the bond market is in a more healthy condition and labor Is more plentiful. GKANT PROTEST OVERRULED County Held Unable to Require Distribution of Road Funds. SALEM, Or., June 3. (Special.) There is no provision in the state law that a county, after availing itself of the benefits of the state apprqpria tion for market roads by making the levy in an amount equal to that to be received from the state, can provide for and require a further distribution of said state fund to such county by increasing the amount of such county levy, according to a legal opinion by the attorney- general today ruling against the protest filed by the offi cials of Grant county. "The state fund belongs to the state," reads Mr. Brown's opinion, "and" In the language of the law is subject to disposal and distribution by the state highway commission in like-manner as other state highway funds in carrying out the provisions of the act. The only means by which any county acquires a claim thereto is by levying the county tax In an amount equal to the apportionment of such county. , "No county can acquire a legal claim upon any remainder of such fund after such apportionment is t " ' .

THE nine Krazy Kids top the new bill at the Hippodrome, but popu lar acclaim makes a favorite also of Miss Kingsbury and Mr. Munson's keen little sketch, "The Devil in Pos session." The Krazy Kids are a ju venile aggregation, at least they ap pear very youthful, and their offer ing Is in the atmosphere of the school room. There's a bad boy played with excellent comedy lights by Don Sher wood as a Hebraic type, who teases and torments the nice little girls and adds to "teacher's troubles. "Dere teacher" Is played admirably and In adroitcomedy by Bert Rollnlck. They all sing and step and have a lot of fun which spreads into the audience. The sketch offered by Nellie A. Kingsbury and Roscoo E. Munson is original in idea and very entertain ing. The theme Is the dissatisfaction of a husband with the modest, quiet ways of his wife and bis endeavor to make her over into a butterfly Jazz baby. The results are a boomerang and full of humorous complications. The sketch is well acted, both Miss Kingsbury and Mr. Munson being good comedy creators. Fredericks and Palmer have re turned from overseas, where they were on the list of entertainers, and have brought their clever act to the Hippodrome. It consists of story telling and snappy songs. Two smiling maids with smart at tire are the Alelva sisters, June and Irene, who put plenty of pepper in xylophone specialty. A single who pleases with the freshness and originality of his method is Eddie Phillips, billed as the "20th century comedian." The pho toplay is of unusual interest to film fans, and shows Bessie Karriscale in "The Luck of Geraldine." This bill closes Saturday night.

Miss Golden was Just so anxious to go galloping that she mounted her horse while Carey was still saddling his pinto. She was eventially rescued by her instructor. "It was a nice gentlemanly horse she protested, "but he didn't seem to like me very well, for he started to run away. The only reason I stayed wnn mm. i guess, was because I was afraid to let go. Carey chided her about "pulling leather." but has great faith in his pupil. "She'll ride anything on four legs before I get -through with her, he declares. There's one lunch that lllkebetter ; than any other Post ; lOASTIES are obod anytime made, and therefore cannot be heard to protest against the distribution of said remaining fund, according to the discretion of the state highway com mission." At the time the protest was filed by Grant . county officials it was charged that the voters had levied a local tax greater than many other counties and consequently they should receive a larger part of the surplus from the state market road funds. It was urged in the protest that the market funds be reapportioned among the counties. The opinion was asked by the state highway commission. COMMISSION READY TO ACT Highway Board Waits Plans for Clackamas County Road. OREGON CITY, Or., June 3. (Spe cial.)

POLK CITIZENS FILE PROTEST Dallas and Independence Jislike Being Left Off Highway. SALEM. Or., June S. fSpeclal.) A delegation of 25 prominent Polk county citizens appeared before Gov ernor Olcott today and protested the action of the state highway commis sion in eliminating Dallas and Inde pendence from the west side Pacific highway. Petitions presented to the governor by the delegation contained more than 300 names. Oscar Hayter, who acted as spokes man for the delegation, declared tha the voters of both Dallas and Inde pendence had at all times favored good roads and had- been led to believe the towns would be located on the main traveled highway. The present location, according to Mr. Hayter, eliminates Dallas entirely from thn Pacific highway, while an attempt was made to console the peoDle of In dependence through the promise of a spur road. In reply to questions asked by th governor, Mr. Hayter intimated tha a movement had been started to file a suit to enjoin the highway commis sion from proceeding with the con struction of the highway- as located by tne commission,. but it was though that a settlement might be effected through the influence of the execu tive.
