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

Hippodrome.
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.

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.) Commissioners Benson, Booth
and Kiddle were In Oregon City
Wednesday conferring with the coun
ty court in regard to the new sus
pension bridge and the south end
road out of the city through Canemah.
The conference put the proposition
directly up to the county court and
they- will hold a. meeting within the
next few days to settle the matter.
Tne -commission is ready to go
ahead with the bridge and pay two-thlrds-f
the cost providing the
county will make provision for the
south end road. The bridge will cost
svd.uuo and the county is to. pay
S1Z5.000 of this amount.
It was brought out Wednesday that
the river or basin road to Canemah
would- cost the county considerable
less than the road over the hill, as
it .will be necessary to provide an
overhead crossing at the S. P. tracks
on the. south end of the road.
The- commissioners said they would
be satisfied with either road, but
wanted the plans presented them be
fore the work started.
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.
Governor Olcott informed the dele
gation that the locating and building
oi state roads was a matter entirel
in the hands of the highway commis
sion. -
