COAST HIGHWAY TOPIC Fourteen Ocean Shore Counties to Be Represented at Cres cent City, Oal. TILLAMOOK, Or., July 8. (Spe cial.) From all indications a largo - representative gathering will foe ' present at Crescent City, Cal., Mon day, when the North of Bay Coun ties' Association of California and the Roosevelt Memorial Coast High- way Association of Oregon meet for a Joint conference.

There are seven coast -counties in California and seven coast counties in Oregon, and the "two highways that the conference - will discuss are the Redwood high 7way in California and the Roosevelt highway in Oregon. As a result of Lthe conference, it is expected that a strong organization will he formed of the coast counties of the two J states, to promote and assist in every possible manner the completion of this most important highway, which "will greatly stimulate the tourist - travel into Oregon, aa well as afford the people of the state an opportu nity to visit all parts of the Oregon 7 coast at all seasons of the year. Counties to Have Delegate. ,. Each) of the seven Oregon coast ..counties will be represented at the -conference by delegations made up I from commercial- organizations and - county courts. The same thing ap- plies to the delegations from the California counties. As Curry county is one of the last : coast counties to emerge from its bottied-up condition, there is more -or less interest taken in the pros . pect of driving through the entire length of that county by automobile. Conference Oueng Tomorrow. L Promptly at 9 o'clock Monday morning the conference will be - called to order, the morning session 'being as follows: i Dr. G. H.

Speakers at the dinner have not ' been arranged, as thee are quite a number of persons both in California , . and Oregon who were doubtful ; whether they will be present, and . those who are will be called upon . . for addresses. ' . Following the dinner, the commit . - tee on permanent organization and . resolutions will report. ' v It is thought that the conference . . will be able to get through In one - day. . ' The Marshfield chamber of com ; "merce made arrangements to take a -large number of delegates by auto ', "from Coos Bay to Crescent City, the - place of meeting being Bandon, and . it was here that a large proportion ; ;' of the delegates assembled. ; MARSHFIELD SENDS CARAVAN ; i Twenty Autos Start for California ; Highway Conference. - MARSHFIELD, Or., July & (Spe i " eiaL) Nobody knows what the gov - - rnor of Oregon will say to the . governor of California when they ; ;mt Monday at Crescent City, sur - rounded by good roads advocates ', ..trom the Columbia river to San Francisco bay and the state hlgh ' " way commissions from both states ! "but it is expected to be something like this: "Well,- governor, we're '. -having fine weather for the conven- tion." . Governor Stephens is likely to re ; .'ply: "Yes, it's much unlike Noah's 'time, which was very wet" . And, speaking of Noah, it might ; ;e mentioned the California gath ering is on the end of 40 days and ; " nights without rain. ; " Roads are extremely dusty down " -the southwestern Oregon coast, ', "where there are no pavements nor graveled and macadam roads.

Ttelk about the Roosevelt highway, ; "while the Calif ornians will discuss the California division as the Pa -; Tcific highway and attempt to argue rthe Oregonians into renaming the ' .i Oregon unit of the long, long trail. ; ., It may be necessary to appoint a - peacemaker before the convention '. opens. Oregonians will see unsuspected and beautiful scenery while they ; "motor through Curry county south of Sixes river. North of Sixes and r - south, of Bandon they will see wild ROOSEVELT SEC flowers in profusion and travel over a rocked and gravel road in an al most uninterrupted stretch of 45 miles to within six miles' of Corbin, the result of efforts of residents of Coos and Curry counties in raising road funds by bond issues and of help supplied in Curry county by the Oregon state highway commis sion. Sixteen miles of fine high way south of Bandon is Coos coun ty's own work. '. South of Port Orford the Roose velt highway curves along the ocean shore in sight of reefs. Port Orford harbor. Humbug . mountain, with about ten miles of completed high way, finished last year. Dropping down at Corbin the motorists obtain a view of the ocean from sea level. Following on southward they ob tain changing views of the sea from greater heights and strike into the interior a few miles north of Rogue river, before reaching Wedderburn and Gold Beach. South of Gold Beach there Is just "road," and it is not a very good one. Forty-five miles intervene be tween Gold Beach and the California line, near Brookings. Four and a half miles of highway, however, is under way a few miles south of Gold Beach, financed by the state high way commission, and among the most difficult of any construction jobs in the state. The party will have splendid "views of the ocean for a large portion of those 45 miles, but not as many as when the state highway commission completes its work. The possibilities of the Roosevelt highway will be thoroughly ex plained to the guests in the expedi tion, and they are certain to be im pressed with the arguments. ' Foster to Train Dogs.

GOVERNOR HART PAVES WAY FOR BUDGET SYSTEM- People of Washington, Especially Legislators, Asked to Inform Themselves on Economy. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 8. (Spe cial.) Recommendation that the public generally, and particularly those who will be members of the 1923 legislature, continue a careful study of governmental revenue and expense problems and that all local tax-levying and disbursing bodies voluntarily adopt a strict budget system, pending legislative action making such a system mandatory, were contained In Governor Hart's report on tax problems made public today. The governor's recommendations are based on the report of the Btate tax Investigating committee, which for the last year has been holding hearings and discussing tax prob lems. The governor, ' ho wever, nei ther accepts nor rejects the tax committee's finding, though the committee, in a report of several hundred pages. Is said to have made definite recommendations for in creasing some forms of . taxation, notably the gasoline tax. More de tailed recommendations will be made to the legislature, the governor said. "My study up to the present time convinces me more and more that the grave question is In economy of government rather than lncreas ing revenues," the governor said, "and we must not lose eight of the fact that new and additional govern mental functions mean added cost of government."

PRISONER REVEALS PLOT Federal Agents Expect to Hang Financing of Rum-Runners Upon Prominent Persons. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., July 8. If Clem Sullivan tells what he knows the story is likely to be of more than ordinary interest to a number of persons in Seattle, Victoria. B. C. and San Francisco. Sullivan is in jail in Oakland, Cal. He Is one of the nine men captured by prohibition agents in the recent big take of liquor runners, automobiles and liquor at Point Lobos, near Monterey. Sullivan is not only in jail, held to heavy bail on serious charges, but he is also suffering from the rough handling given him by the government agents after they toad overpowered him ana taken away the gun that he had emptied at them in resisting arrest. Sullivan Shows Repentanee. According to advices received by Roy C. Lyle, prohibition director for the Washington district Sullivan has shown repentance and declared his readiness to make a clean breast of his- own nd the misdoings of others. He has already given a good deal of fragmentary Informa tion which is being checked up at this end by Lyle and at the southern end by Sam Rutter, the California prohibition director. Acceptance of any further revela tions that Sullivan may have in mind will depend to some extent on results of the inquiry to prove the truth of what he already has told. Cook-Up Yarn Expected. Prohibition officials are alive to the possibility that Sullivan may try to cook up a yarn that he thinks will serve ihis needs. Taken after he had repeatedly fired on the gov ernment agents, Suliivan's only chance to escape any part of the consequences lies In turning state's evidence. It is not yet known here how far he has gone or is likely to go in implicating others than those who were captured a the same time, and anything he may say will be subject to investigation before action is taken against any person ihe may name. All But Nine Escape. ' Sullivan Is an ex-resident ' of Se attle. The Point Lobos encounter, In which he featured himself as the hardest fighter for the defense of the contraband, resulted in the jail lng of nine men and the seizure of 1000 cases of whisky, mostly Scotch brands, and 17 high-power automo biles, all Paekards and Cadillacs. Not less than 40 men were employed on the land end of the smuggling enterprise, but a couple of them got away In one motor car, while the others took to the boat 'that was bringing the stuff ashore and made their escape under heavy fire from the government agents. Three Others Notorious. The capture was effected by five government agents under the lead ershlp of Leonard Regan of the Se attle office. After the first of the smugglers had been captured and put in irons, an Indian farmer living near Point Lobos, who happened on the scene, was sworn in as a special officer and left to guard the cap tives while the fight went on. Of the nine men finally taken, three besides Sullivan are well and rather unfavorably known on Puget sound They are P. B. Millsack. generally called r ive-Fingered Jerry," ex Tacoma saloonkeeper; W. J. Allen, who used to h,e "manager" in a couple of disorderly Seattle cafes, and Jacob White, also of Seattle. MUls&ck's soubriquet is due to the unusual formation of his hands which actually carry five fingers and a thumb each. Narcotics in Scont Car. Agent Regan, who has returned to Seattle, is bemoaning what he now believes to have been a mistake of judgment on hie part His ex periences in previous enterprises of this kind had taught him that the first automobile to break away from the group and start inland was usually a pilot or scout car, carrying no contraband but capable of sound ing warning to the other cars if its progress was officially interrupted. He acted on this theory at Point Lobos, letting . the first car go through, but he is now convinced, on what he believes to be reliable Announcement We wish to announce our removal to the second floor of the Dekum building, southwest corner Third and Washington, entrance facing Third street. Four thousand square feet of floor space and every form of modern scientific equipment devoted to the ex clusive examination of the eye has been installed.

Dekum Bldg information, that it contained about $200,000 worth of narcotic drugs. This takes a lot-rfrom the satisfac tion that Regan feels in what was otherwise an unusually big-haul. Power Schooner Sighted, Prohibition Director Lyle and Agent Regan were in San Francisco on official business when Lyle got the fip that the power schooner Chickawanna had left "Victoria with a full cargo of liquor which was to be landed somewhere near Mon terey. Lyle's business called him back to Seattle, and by agreement with Director Rutter of California, the duty of interception of the cargo j was assigned to Regan. ' Regan and four men of the Cali fornia staff took up the Job. and in due time, after several nights on watch, their patience was rewarded by the arrival of 18 motorcars in the vicinity of an abandoned wharf near Point Lobos. One of Regan s men crawled through the brush to a viewpoint near the wharf and sighted a power schooner at anchor close inshore. Wagon Blocks Highway. Regan, meanwhile, had found a big farm wagon in a nearby field. On Regan's order the first motor car, which he supposed to be a scout car, was permitted to go by. Then the farm wagon was hauled to a position across the narrow country road, which it blocked com pletely. The next vehicle to come along was a big Packard' truck. Re gan and his men drew their flash lights and their guns and quickly captured the four men In charge of the truck. Following close behind came another car. There was no chance for it to turn or back up. Then the fight began, with plenty of gunfire, and. Clem Sullivan, one of the guards of the second car. taking a leading part. The gov ernment agents finally got him and four other men, and putting them all in Irons left the Indian farmer on guard. Fifteen other motorcars, strung along the road toward the wharf, were found to have been abandoned in their tracks. The agents chased down to the wharf, and saw a boat. overcrowded with men. making for the schooner at the best possible speed. The officers fired on the boat as long as it was within range and feel sure that some of Its occu pants must have been hit. Examination showed some of the abandoned automobiles to be empty of contraband, leading to the con clusion that the schooner eould not have fully discharged her cargo at the time the fight started. The gov- ernment agents convinced them selves that this schooner was not the Chickawanna, and are satisfied that the cargo which left Victoria in that vessel was transferred to another somewhere at sea. MIHsack Out on Bail. ' In court at San Francisco the cap tured men were held to heavy baiil, in sums of $10,000 to $20,000 each. The Seattle orfice is advised that only of them has been able to fur nish it. This was "Five-Fingered Jerry" Millsack, Who is mentioned by the prohibition agents as "the richest bootlegger In San Francisco." Whether or not this distinction is warranted probably will be dis covered when the case comes to trial. The prohibition authorities here are working diligently on the in formation thus far given by Sul li van. Meanwhile t'hey are not mak ing public any of the results of their investigations. Sullivan is said to be ready to disclose the names of numerous Seattle, Victoria and San Francisco men who were financially interested in the Point Lobos and other large enterprises of that kind. If he tells the truth, the Point Lobos capture is likely to have rather far-reaching develop ments. 250,000 GET LICENSES 1000 Drivers Take Permits in One Day After Fourth. OLTMPIA, Wash., July 8.
