ROAD DIVIDES COUNTY t-OT.TTMBIA FACTIONS DISAGREE OVER HIGHWAY FTJNDS. nival Recall Campaigns Are Threat ened Against Court and Injunction May Tie Cp All Construction. BT. HELENS, Or., Aug-. 22. (Special.) The Columbia Highway, which was Intended to bring- the two ends of Co lumbia County together, has been the cause of a break between the two sec tions. The bond issue proposal served to fix the line of separation and charges and counter charges have been made and threats to recall the County Court and move the county seat ex changed. By the election $260,000 was voted to be applied to the main road. As the lower end of the county is rougher, and more work would be required in it, the main highway was divided into two sections. Bids were received for the north half, and it was found S280, 000 was the least it could be construct ed for. With the $260,000 bond issue and a probable $90,000 county fund, only $350,000 was available for the whole road. By an agreement a strip at Goble and one west of Rainier were to be omitted and $80,000 thereby saved for the south end of the road. Now the highway is nearing completion and the agreement appears to have been forgotten. Next the State Highway Commission wanted a servey on the west side of the railroad track, leaving out St. Hel ens. A stormy meeting followed at St. Helens and later a compromise was reached whereby St. Helens would be included on the highway. The St. Hel ena strip could not be built with the bond issue funds, so it was arranged for special county funds to be used. This called worth a recall petition against the County Court Further differences are threatened as the result of any move to get funds to complete the north end and to meet a claim of about $55,000 made by the state for paving' the north end. If the whole sum is not expended to complete the north half of the road, the court will be threatened with re call, the county seat moved to Rain ier and a new set of officers satisfac tory to the State Highway Commission put Into power. If the St Helens' strip is built the West St Helens faction has a recall petition ready. But if the north enders continue in their demands and efforts to recall, the whole Colum bia Highway work may be enjoined by the south side people.

TJ'Ren has addressed the follow ing letter to the Public Library Board, of which he is a member: "I was unable to attend the last meeting of the Public Library Board, but I learn that the members who did attend ordered the paper called the Menace excluded from the Public Li brary. I am told that some of our citizens contributed this paper to the Public Library and that since Miss Price was employed the Menace has been destroyed as soon as it was re ceived from the postoffice. "By Its action Tuesday evening, the board officially sanctions and approves this censorship by the librarians of the reading matter for the patrons and the people of Oregon City who support the library. "What a periodical teaches is not the concern of the Public Library officers. The people pay for the Public Library and they have a right to receive and read such literature there as pleases them, if it does not violate the law. "I have no personal Interest in the admission or exclusion of any period ical or book, but I am very deeply In terested in the freedom of the press to print and of the people to read, all such matters as are not unlawful. At the next meeting of the directors, I shall offer a resolution instructing the librarian to receive and keep on file for the public the Menace so long as it is carried and delivered by the United States postal authorities and is demanded by the patrons of the Public Library. "It is to be hoped that President Mc Bain will not resign if, the Menace is admitted to the Public Library files. After his splendid service and self sacrifice In making the Oregon City Public Library, his resignation for any reason would be a misfortune for the institution. But as a matter of prin ciple, it is very clear to my mind that we have no right as public officers, to exclude any paper because it at tacks any political, religious or eco nomic beliefs."
