Governors and Commissions of Both
States and Citizens of Interested
Border Counties Are to
Meet Today.
GRANTS PASS, Aug-. 18. Spcc.lal.)
A conference of more than ordinary
Importance to Southern Oregon is that
e-htiiuled to take place in C.-escent
City euriy next week, when Governor
Withycombe and two members of the
Ori.tn Highway Commission will'meet
wit a Governor Stevens and tin Cali
fornia Highway Commission to discjss
road questions of mutual interest to
the two states.
At the conference will be the Cjunty
Courts of three Oregon counties unl
ore it California and a liund.-d or
more prominent citizens of the eaine
cou.-.ties.
The situation which makes the. fofth
cciring discussion, which will occur
iiUKuay. Mon'lay and Tuesday nxt, of
particular interest is that hei the
Coast highway, which California is
building from San Francisco Bay to
the northern part of the state, reaches
Crescent City a decision must be made
as to whether it shall continue north
on the assumption that a similar Coast
route will be built through Oregon, or
strike northeast to the Pacific high
way at Grants Pass.
Del Norte County sentiment is di
vided almost half and half between
the two routes. Crescent City's ambi
tions as a. harbor and shipping ctty
.eads her fctrongly toward the Grants
Pass i cad and there are numerous other
corrsitleratlons favoring that project.
1o'vever, most of. the. rural popula
tion of lel Norte County would be
served directly by continuing the Dig?i
way north of Crescent City to the
mouth of Smith "River. And to get
that county to help a roadway pro
gramme these factions should be
united.
Coos and Curry counties are ambi
tious to promote the Coast route
through Oregon and are willing to do
thi-ir full share. They will be well
represented at the Crescent City con
ference. If a plan suggested by the Crescent
City Chamber of Commerce, calling: for
the co-operation of the California State
Highway Commission, Del Norte Coun
ty, Josephine County and the Oregon
State Highway Commission, together
with the Federal Government under
either the Shackleford act or the forest
or post road measures, can be worked
out, both routes can be built through
Del Norte County and it will depend
upon Oregon and the interested Oregon
counties to determine whether one, and
which one. or both, of the California
highways shall be connected up with
Oregon s system.
At an early hour Sunday morning a
large delegation of Grants Pass people
win escort Governor Withycombe, S.
Benson, chairman of the State High
way Commission, Amos S. Benson and
John B. Yeon by automobile to Crescent
City.
Roads Are Important.
These roada are important from the
commercial, military and agricultural
as well as tourists" standpoint. They
are passable only a few months in the
year now for automobiles. AVhen re
constructed they will provide easy
transportation to the outside world the
lull year.
In spite of the present bad grades
about two-fifths of the automobile
travel between Oregon and California
Is over this Eureka-Crescent City
Grants Pass route. The road climbs to
an altitude of 45U0 feet. It is proposed
that this highway be reconstructed so
that jt will cross the divide at an ele
vation of only 2100 feet. This can be
done, it is said by road engineers, bv
making a new road from just below
Waldo to Elk"Creek and thence along
the middle fork of Smith River In Cali
fornia.
"At this low elevation," said N. F.
Macduff, forest supervisor of the Sis
kiyou National Forest, "there would be
practically no trouble from snow."
The Crescent City people have
planned a big celebration in honor of
the distinguished visitors.

LEWI9TON, Idaho. Aug. 18. (Spe
ciaL) If the North Dakota movement
does not make itself felt In Idaho poli
tics at the next state election It will not
be because the farmers were not made
familiar with it. Organizers have been
In the field for weeks.
Little Is being said about the work
but it is well known that the nonpar
tisan organization, designed to play a
part In the future politics of the state,
Is growing and that those who are
backing It are not allowing grass to
grow under their feet.
The work of organizing was starred
some time ago. Several counties have
already been canvassed, but no state
ment regarding the results has brcn
given out.
Close political observers in Idaho say
that It will be impossible for any per
son to be elected to office who does
not have the indorsement of the farm
era' organization, especially if it works
In harmony with organized labor of
Idaho.
It is understood that the nonpartisan
league does not Intend to put a ticke
In the field, unless It finds it impossi
ble to have satisfactory candidate
, named on either the Democratic or the
Republican ticket.

Boys Wins Commission.

Mother Takes Pride In Patriot
ism, but Agrees With Sher
man Regarding War.
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 18. (Special.)
Mrs. Walter L. Tooze is one of the
proudest mothers in Oregon. Three of
her sons have recently won commis
sions In the United States Army. They
are her only boys, and, although she de
plores the necessities of war, she will
ingly gives them to the service of their
country.
Two of the boys, Leslie and Lamar,
are twins. They were born at Wood-
burn, Marlon County, 22 years ago.
Both were graduated from the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1916 and have
since been studying law at Harvard.
Leslie entered the first training camp
at Presidio, California, and Lamar re
ceived training at Plattsburg, N. Y.
They have been commissioned as Sec
ond Lieutenants.
Walter L. Tooze, Jr., the third son.
was born at Butteville, Marion County.
He is 29 years of age, married, and has
been engaged In the practice of law at
Dallas. He also received training at
Presidio and has been commissioned as
Captain. He had previously had
some military experience as a Captain
of a militia company.
'I am glad the bays were success
ful in obtaining commissions," Mrs.
Tooze stated. "We regret that they
must go, but realize that it is the
only thing to do. I quite agree with
Sherman about war. Sometimes I groan
when thoughts of the conditions in Eu
rope come to me. Yet. I know that we

Something goes wrong with my eyes
and my throat every time I think
about it.
"It is going to be hard for the twins.
It breaks my heart to think that they
must now be separated, after having
been almost constantly together all
their lives. Their longest separation
was when Lamar went to Europe with
the Ford peace expedition as the stu
dent body representative from the Uni
versity of Oregon.
"Sometimes when I go along the
street and see mothers and fathers
with their little tots, I en 'y them be
cause their, babies do not have to go
to war. I do not think that Is unpatri
otic, because in my heart I want my
boys to do everything they can for
their country. I am proud that they
have won commissions and hope that
they shall make efficient officers."
Mrs. Tooze will go to American Lake
the latter part of August that she may
remain so long as possible with her
sons, Leslie and Walter, who have been
ordered to report at that place.

hundreds of cases will be packed before
the season ends.
The Hood River Valley will turn out at

season in the following respective

Another Blfif Spurt Kxpectcd Before

for Canned Fish Is Great.
ASTORIA, Or., Aug! 18. (Special.)
The past week has been the banner one
of the present fishing season. Remark
ably large catches were made by gill
netters operating In the lower harbor
close to the mouth of the river. The
run has gradually fallen off. - It was
confined almost exclusively to the low
er harbor, where the salmon appeared
to. come in with the tide and then turn
tail as they struck the fresh water on
the ebb.

outside also made great hauls early in
the week, but the heavy fogs of the
past few days have handicapped them.
Still, the deliveries at the p.acking
plants have averaged good during the
past six days and a large gain has
been made on overcoming the shortage
in the pack.
As the demand for canned salmon is
almost unlimited, the great bulk of the
catch is being canned, and should the
coming week bring as good returns as
the present one the Indications are the
canned pack will not be far behind that
of last season.

WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Aug. 18.
(Special.) Harvesting Walla Walla's
grain crop this year means an added
expense of between 50 and 75 per cent,
so local growers say they must have
an unusually big price to come out

most of them had to reseed this Spring,
much of the Winter wheat having
frozen out.
