I'eople of Oregon Do Not Realize
Value of Scenic Attraction,
Says L. E. Warford.
Oregon's road-building programme
and the manner In which it has been
bandied by tho state highway com
mission are praised by L. EL -Warford.
formerly of Portland, who says he
row lives in Washington. D. C, but
Is still a voter of this state, and who
is here In the Interest of good roads.
He is a special agent of the federal
highway council, an organization
which is seeking to promote legisla
tion that will bring about construc
tion of permanent highways. Ore
gon's delegation in congress is also
complimented by Mr. Warford for the
efforts toward adequate appropria
tions for federal aid.
"Oregon is particularly fortunate,"
aid Mr. Warford, "in that its dele
gation in congress are well known
as constructive road advocates, and
notwithstanding the defeat of the
road bill, known as the Chamberlain
McArthur measure, in congress Fri
day. It is only a step in the right
direction, as congress does not feel
like saddling a cut-and-dried road
programme onto President Harding
at this time. However, the same leg
islation, calling for federal aid for
the western states, matching the
states' money dollar for dollar, will
be introduced by the Oregon dele
gation at the special session called
. by Mr. Harding for March 4. This
K will undoubtedly be voted quickly,
so they can rush this aid to the
states.
"Under the direction of the state
highway commission of Oregon, they
are using their money in an Intelli
gent ana effective manney. but when
one realizes that out of a total of
17,186 miles of road which were con
structed throughout the country dur-l.-g
the fiscal years 1917-1920 inclu
sive and upon which federal aid was
vsed. 11.005 miles or 65 per cent of
the total mileage was gravel, earth
O' sand and clay roads, one will
quicklv appreciate that we are not
now getting far in the expenditure of
our federal aid money upon roads
that will be called upon to carry our
future traffic."
"The people of the east are 'sold on
the value to this state of our own
scenic asset. Crater Lake. However,
I do not think this is true, as a rule,
with a majority of our Oregon people,
as they do not realize what Crater
lake means to them. At the present
time there Is a situation that exists
down at the rim of the lake that
needs attention. Oregon had a man
with a vision by the name of Mr.
Tarkhurst, who, when no one else
would go down and build a hotel for
the convenience of the visitors, took
the responsibility in his hands and.
with practically no assistance from
the outside, financed the institution
and did the best be could under the
circumstances. He has had practical
ly no financial assistance whatsoever
from the citizens of Oregon and his
rates are reasonable. During the lat
ter part of last season he was criti
cised and. while some of the charges
were Justified, Mr. Farkhurst, on the
other hand, deserves the credit and
financial support of the people of
Oregon, as this Is our problem.
Yosemite was 'sold' to the citizenry
of California, as was Rainier national
part 'sold' to the leading financiers
ct Washington."

CHINA PLANS URGA BLOW
Strength of Captors Estimated to
Bo About 15,500.
PEKI.V. Feb. I0. Strength of the
captors of Urga, Mongolia, has been
estimated at 1.500 Russians and 10.
000 Mongolians, officered largely by
Japanese.
The Chinese war ministry has be
gun preparing an expedition against
Urga. Foreigners from Urga were
reported to have arrived safely at
Uda, about half way to Kalean.
It was reported that the independ
ence of Mongolia has been proclaimed
and 30,000 cavalry and infantry or
ganized.
OB ART BOSWORTH holds the
position in the portrayal of rug
ged sea types that Bill Hart
has in the field of western characters.
In "The Brute Master," at the Ma
jestic, Bosworth has one of the roles
which fit him best, and he gives a
thorough and clean-cut performance.
The story was written by Charmlon
K. London, widow of Jack London,
and It Is Just the sort of a tale that
the latter liked to write. The setting
is In the South Seas, and deals with
the adventures of members of a
schooner who are cast by an accident
on a tropical Island.
. Bosworth is seen as "Bucko" Mc
Allister, a burly skipper of the old
school, who rules his crew by fre
quent use of his giant strength and
iron fists. Following the grim code
of physical violence, he smashes his
way to an undisputed leadership over
men. But under the rough cave-man
covering lay tender sentiments, which
are brought out through love of
Madeline Grey, capably played by
Anna Q. Nilsson.
Madeline Grey Is a society girl
spending some time with friends in
the tropics. She receives an urgent
rail from her parents in America, and
for the sake of speed starts on the
trip home as a passenger on McAllis
ters ship. One of the crew, who has
been horribly beaten by the skipper,
sets fire to the vessel. The people on
the ship escape to a nearby tropic
isle, and in these romantic surround
ings much of the action of the photo-
nlav takes place. The

Screen Gossip.
The art of colored motion photog

if not revolutionized, by King Vidor,
according to a statement lsssued by

ed will see the first photodrama
ever made In which almost every foot
of film is not only colored, but col

actly true to nature.

Measure to Be Thoroughly Read by
Educators and Formal State
ment Issued Afterward.
The new tenure bill, as passed by
the senate and house, is considered
Just and fair by a majority of the
members of the Portland school
board. The leaders in the grade
teachers' and high school teachers'
associations, however, would make no
statement yesterday as to their stand.
The teachers were united In their
refusals to express any opinion. A
meeting of the Federated council will
be held this afternoon or tonight and
the bill will be thoroughly read. After
the meeting, the council will issue
a formal statement
"If any teacher objects to the
tenure law as passed by the legisla
ture. It Is only because she feels that
she needs more protection for In
competency," was the comment
A. C. Newill. school director, yester
day when asked his opinion of the
new measure.
BUI Declared Fair.
As with other directors Interviewed
Mr. Newill had not seen a copy o
the final bill but expressed his opln
ion on the basis of newspaper reports.
"I think the bill is eminently fair
and do not believe that any right-
minded teacher could possibly object
to it. The provision for Beven mem
bers of the board of directors may
make the board a trifle top-heavy
but that is a detail. It establishes
a principle which is that directors
should have the power to rid t
school system of incompetents."
William F. Woodward, the board
member who consistently opposed
throughout any effort to change the
old tenure law, ' is not pleased with
the new jaw but is willing to put
aside any feeling which may have
been engendered In the recent con
troversy and aid the directors in pre
senting a united front in tackl'ng
problem! before the board.
No Special Criticism Offered.
"As I have seen no copy of the
measure, I cannot offer any specific
crit'eism, but I am still of the opin
'cn that 't would have been wiser to
have . lef: the present provisions
stand," he said.
"The entire affair has not been a
personal Issue with me and I am
ready to continue with my duties as
a director with undivided attention to
problems 'n hand. There are big
froblem.. to be met on the board and
our unite! effort will be necessary to
dispose of them properly."
"I beleive that Portland teachers
wi.'l see that the new bill is not harm
ful at al. and that they will, in the
er.d. I ke the change," asserteC Frank
L. Shull, director. "In no bill present
ed has there been the provision that
teachers must be re-elected every
year. The commission to which ap
Ptal may be made has not been abol-
,hhed and I think that a vote or five
out of seven directors Is sufficient
protection to the competent teacher.
"I have felt all the time, however,
that a bor.rd of seven members is too
large for effective work. There is
waste mot'on and responsibility is
not place l as easily as in a small
board."

Judge Declares He Will Ask Sen
atorial Investigation Unless
Requirements Are Met.
MARSHFIELD, Wis.. Feb. 20.
(Special.) Declaration that he would
force the publication of the facts con
neoted with the resignation of the
son of Senator Dial of South Carolina
from the navy was made by Judge
K. M. Land'is of Chicago today.
The statement was made during an
address to the first annual convention
of the Post commanders and adju
tants of the American Legion of Wis
consln today.
Although Senator Dial, the judge
said, "had taken his troops and re
tired to a quiet sector." the impeach
ment proceedings has stirred up a
great fundamental principle as to
whether public authority should oper
ate impartially. He asserted that if
the principle of lmpariallty was not
adopted there would be bolshevism in
the United States, adding that this
fundamental was "betrayed In the
case of young Dial."
The latter, he asserted, had been
ordered before a trial board of the
navy in connection with the disap
pearance of funds of which he had
custody. No trial had taken place,
he declared, because South Carolina
influences had led the navy depart
ment to permit Dial to resign.
Judge Landis charged" that Senator
Dial had assured the public that there
was nothing but irregularity in book
keeping, but added that "the navy
department had clamped down the. lid
of secrecy, although the money was
public money and the books public
books."
The judge said that If Senator Dial
did not make public the facts
