BOND ISSUE IS ADVOCATED Tromhieut Men Yiio Have Traversed Jtoute Favor Paving of Boule vard That Is Bound to Draw Kyes of World to Oregon. Everyone who has ever driven over the Columbia River Highway Is en thusiastic about the roa as o. scenic vvonder. The verdict is virtually unan imous also that the- highway is a good investment from an economic standpoint and that the taxpayers will receive more than a dollar's worth of good for every dollar expended on it. Those who have traveled extensive ly and viewed many of the finest high ways in the world aver that the road along: the Oreson bank of the Colum bia River is the last word in highway construction and. that it will be the model for future construction. Public opinion -seems to be settled in the view that the ultimate hard -surfaced drive will prove to be one of Oregon's great est assets, if not the- greatest, from many standpoints. Bond Issue Favored. Among -a large .number of interviews obtained last week from prominent Portland men the highway as. an in stitution was inaorsea Heartily with out an exception. The prevailir.fr opin ion seems to favor a bond issue to cover the cost of paving the preseni surface, as is recommended by Road master Yeon, Instead of financing the work by general taxation. Following are expressions of opinion on the Columbia River Highway as an Investment: "V. B. Ayer The construction of the Columbia River Highway is the most important subject in the development of Portland since the installation of the Bull Run water system and the Lewis and Clark Fair. Its' result in nourishing the growth and develop ment of the state will exceed the ad vent of the North Bank Rjad. Colonel C. H. Martin The highway will be a great advertisement for Portland and will add greatly to it by placing one of the must beautiful road ways in the world directly at its door. From an investment standpoint, the taxpayers will get back benefits dollar for dollar, and more, too. Franklin T. Urifhth When com pleted our highway will be the finest in the world. It certainly is a desir able investment, but since it is to stjand for all time I believe the cost of the work ought to be distributed over a period of years. For that reason I am in favor of a bond issue to pay for the hard-surfacing. Investment Value Certain. S. Benson As an illustration of my faith in the Columbia Highway purely as an investment, I stand ready at any time to take the highway off the hands of the public and reimburse the tax payers for every cent they have spent on it, providing they will allow me to put up a gate and collect tolls. Merely as a scenic attraction it would be a good investment. Judging from the 1 150,000,000 returns brought to Califor nia every year by the tourist travel the- least the Columbia Highway can possibly do is to give Oregon in one year a return of the money spent on it. In this way Oregon will receive the highway free of, economic debt after one year. Not only that, but it -will give Portland a reputation everywhere. H. C. Campbell Recently I went over the highway with members of a party from Philadelphia who have made a special study of roads during their travels all over the world. With out limitation they told me that our road was most wonderful of all high ways from a scenic viewpoint. World Offers lhiog Better. " H. I Plttock As an incentive to tourist travel the Columbia River High way will be one of Oregon's greatest assets. I do not believe there Is any thing q.ulte like it in the world. The scenery along the highway is finer, grander, more interesting and more romantic than any I have ever been privileged to view. But I do not think the highway, ought to be com mended entirely or even in greater part on the ground of its romantic and scenic value. The great fact about the highway after all is that it is a per manent thoroughfare connecting East ern and Western Oregon, and placing Portland and tributary country in direct communication by r"oad with the great Inland Empire. It Is a remark able fact that in the whole history of Oregon development a tirst-class road has never been built, across the Cas cade Mountains. It has been dreamed over for a century, but the dream has never been consummated and will not be until the Columbia River Highway is completed. As a commercial asset to Oregon its value cannot be overesti mated. Nothing ought to be left un done to open the highway for travel in the coming year and to hard-surface it for Its entire length at the earliest practicable time. There will be a full return for every dollar and every cent invested by Multnomah County in the Columbia Highway. 'Wonderful,' Says Prelntc. Archbishop Christie The Columbia Highway is a wonderful asset not only to Portland and Oregon but the entire Northwest. The people cannot appre ciate too highly the unselfish service rendered by S. Benson, Amos Benson and John B. Yeon. The highway they have carved out is more striking and varied than any piece of scenery I have ever witnessed in my travels in Europe. A. L,. Mills I believe Investment in good roads is wise everywhere, and particularly so in the case of the Co lumbia River Highway. This magnifi cent scenic road will be used far more extensively than we can now realize. I think Mr.. Yeon is right in recom mending that the cost of hard-surfacing should be covered by a bond issue. V". L,. Lightner The highway is a great piece of work and if the con struction programme is carried out properly, as at present, it will be a wonderful asset to this country. Profit In Aumired. Julifis L. Meier If the construction of the Columbia River Highway is put forward under the same personal man agement as in the past the taxpayers will receive commercial profit over and above the expenditures it has involved. It will serve as the foundation for the bigger end better things that we should have had 20 yearsago by get ting people back on the' land. The highway will give the people of Ore gon a taste of what , can be accom plished by tapping 30,000 fertile acres that lie at Portland's very back door. Rufus C. Holman The Columbia River Highway is the one thing that has been uppermost in my miud as County Commissioner. I am pinning my faith on it. If completed as planned by Samuel Lancaster .and supervised by J. B. . Yeon it will make available THREE ENTERTAINERS WHO WILL APPEAR IN MULTNOMAH CLUB OPERA. I - -v -7 1 if --JC-V 0 1 "- ' w -V ..

At the same time it will open up a largo area to agri culture. . .. Cheaper Living Helped. C. S. Jackson For every dollar of the million to be spent on the Colum bia Highway we will have a dollar's worth of road. Not only that, but we will have the million dollars, for all of the money has been kept in this com munity. 'In addition, we. have created at least a million dollars worth of economic, not speculative, land value. These things mean cheaper produce, cheaper living and cheaper transporta tion. M. C. Banfield The Columbia High way is the greatest asset the City of Portland has had the opportunity of looking forward to. Mr. Yeon, the Ben sons and the County Commissioners have done wonders. The people should go out and look at the road for them selves before they x venture any criti cism. Otherwise they cannot realize what a wondarful endowment we have. I have traveled all through Europe, but have never seen the like of it. Every time I go out there I am astonished at what is being done for the money ex pended. And the beauty of it Is that it is .within an hour's ride of Port land. Great Achievement Praised. D. V. Hart I have been a strong supporter of the Columbia River High-way-since it was first suggested. How ever, I do not think the road should be hard-surfaced during the coming year, as the fills are not ready for it. I fear that if the pavement Is put on before the fills have settled that they will soon break through. J. E. Wheeler Guided' by what I know of the - effect of highway im provements elaewhere, I am inclined to think that the Columbia Highway is a good investment. Looking forward a period of years, I am certain it will be a fine thing for the state. Mr. Yeon and the Bensons deserve great credit for their work. . , . S. B. Huston Some people may grunt somewhat just now when they are pay ing the taxes, but when they commence to reap the vast benefits from the high way they will be absolutely satisfied w.ith their investment. Mr. Yeon has done a great work and he is entitled to the thanks of the entire community. The State of "Vermont has been spend-' ins j,uuu,uuu a year on its roads and It now has highways that are the talk of the East.

CASTLE ROCK, Wash., Nov. 28. (Special.) At a caucusheld last night by the "dry" forces the following ticket ior tne town election to be held in this city December 8 was placed in nom ination: For Mayor, George W.

It was decided to name the ticket the "Dry ticket," and owing to the fact that the town has voted so decidedly dry at the last two elections, there is little doubt that the entire ticket would would be elected, even should opposi tion develop.. Trusty Loses Privileges. Following his attempt Friday night to gain his freedom by escaping from the County Jail, where he is serving a term for burglary, Arthur Walters, a youthful crook but a clever one, had his privileges as trusty taken from him yesterday, and he is now confined in a cell. Walters was caught in a boxcar, where he was sleeping early yesterday morning. """V ! if r - 3--: .-: 1 ' '4. : : " ' : ; . -V- v ' GLOB OPERA IS NEAR "Colonial Beaux and Belles" Gets Much Attention.

It is a memorable portrait set in Louis N. Parker'B de lightful historical comedy of the great Jew, who became -prime minister of England, leader of the Conservative party and arbiter of Europe's destinies. Mr. Arliss is an Englishman by birth and he has come to the estate of star hood through the long and careful training which English actors get. Beginning in stock, -where he got in valuable training In impersonation, he came to America in support of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Belasco saw him and captured him to do Zakkiri in "The Darling of the Gods."

E. M. HOGAN, known profes sionally as Henrietta Duke, a shining light in Eastern vaude ville before she decided to give up a public career for a private following of her chosen work, believes that the success in singing darkey ballads lies in the very illusive and indefinable quality of the "sure enough" Southern voice. "So many singers of the songs of the colored folk imagine because they drop an occasional "r' or put one In where it doesn't belong that they are speaking or singing with a negro dia lect," says Mrs. Hogan. "So many Southerners, so-called, are from South Salem or pmaha. The ne gro quality of soft, slurring melody cannot be acquired. It is born with its owner right down below the Mason Dixon line, and the more darkeys that you're raised up amongst the better you learn of the good old quaint, lova ble ways of the true Southern negro. "And he Is as different from the ed ucated negro of the North as day is from dark." Mrs. Hogan is a Tennes seean and has a line of Southern fore bears that extends back to the - day the South began. On both sides of her family all her men folk relatives were Confederate soldiers in the Civil War, and all her klnfolk but one sister still live in the South.

EMBERS of The Oregonlan edito rial-and reportorial ' staff, who devote their, days (especially Thanksgiving day) to telling the world of the pleasures and griefs of everybody but themselves, delved into the realm of pleasurg and- fun Thanksgiving night in a staff "blowout" in the Tyro lean room at the Benson Hotel. It was genuine old-fashioned blowout, the kind where the, doors are locked to the daily grlnfl and to formalities and to that old busybody.

In addition to the staff members and their families were former members of the staff who are now following other vocations and a few invited guests. Dancing was the opening and closing Teature of the evening. Between dances was a series of novel stunts staged by staff members and guests, depicting some of the idiosyncracles' of individual members of the staff and some of the incidents which occasion ally take the edges, off the office routine. Dancing Centeat Knjoyed. Edgar B. Piper and Miss . Constance Piper, his daughter, were awarded the first prize in the waltzing contest. They were presented with a toy wagon. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Wood got the second prize, a box of candy. There was a keen contest for the honor of "hand somest man." The prize finally was taken by William Mahoney, marine re-, created a number of divorce roles, but none more notable than his marvelous Lord, Steyne in "Becky Sharp." Finally, he began to star, appearing first ir that Hungarian fantasy.
