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.

Thinks Oregon City People Should
Have Right to Read Rabid Antl
Catholic Organ and Other Papers.
OREGON CITY, Aug. 22. (Special.)
W. S. 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."
