Campaign Shall Be Only in . Conjunction With Existing Oregon Association. : Chosen from as widely divergent ln- teresta as possible, a Committee of Seven was appointed last night to aid .: the good roads cause and the Oregon . . Good -Roads .association in working to ,r: ward the construction of a north and r south highway in Oregon. Good roads enthusiasts from the ' "Willamette valley, Washington and ' Portland were at the meeting In the Commercial club. Immediately after . the general session a meeting of the Committee of Seven was called by Its : chairman. Phil S. Bates. It was agreed -- then that no campaign Independent of " the Oregon Good - Roads association .'. should be Instituted for the making of the Pacific highway in Oregon, and that. . first of all, every possible Influence should Tse exerted to secure the passage of the five good roads bills upon which - the success of . the Oregon good roads campaign Is conceded now to hinge. ', W. C. Bristol presided over last night's ' meeting. John S. Be&ll explained that ...s Multomah county vice president 6f the Oregon Automobile association, he had called the meeting to consider the .. Oregon section of the Pacific highway. It was stated that the Portland Automo bile club had just raised $400 for the support of the work and that others In , terested might do aa much. A letter from A. E. Todd, secretary of the Vic toria Board of Trade, was read. Mr. ' Todd stated that the Paclflo highway r in Canada had been approved by the . government and would be built aa fast aa possible The work of actual con etructlon in Washington was described. County Judge T. J. Cleeton spoke en- - thueiaatlcally In favoi1 of the north and outh road, saying it would be a grand ' plan . for the country both because of : Its scenlo and commercial advantages. i lt must (be the people's highway," said Judge Cleeton. "Gain popular favor and " the people will gladly support the road's construction by general taxation." Am. an Asset for -Oregon, . J. A. Perry of Spokane, ex-secretary : of the Good Roads association In Wash ington, declared the north and aouth - highway would be, when constructed, one of Oregon's greatest advertising and development assets. Every town through which the road would pass - would be advertised; ; every adjacent acre would be enhanced In value, said , Mr. Perry. The building of such a road, he insisted, would bring to Port land all the trade to the southern bor der pf the state, while on the north, Portland could properly expect to get the business 0f all the area between it and Olympia. W. C. Bristol declared that Just now ; the roads about Portland are better than any of the widely advertised Cali fornia roads." "They take a bucket of sand, a little water and $400 worth of advertising and make an orange grove; ' they, take the advertising alone and make road in California," said Mr. Bristol. i H. Wemme suggested that a new or ganisation would not do no mucn good as a plan for putting new life into old ' organisations. In accordance with his' suggestion, the exerting of a reviving influence will be one of the prominent duties of the Committee of Seven.' Dr. Andrew C. Smith, president of the Oregon Good Roads association, de clared his favor for the trans-state hlghmajLjuii aalAmeMJtlii xesuliait the work done by the good roads asso- ; elation would be its building. Phil S. Bates spoke with great earn- estness concerning the need of lining up solldry all Oregon citizens who favor good roads to secure the passage of good roads legislation. Convict Labor Might Do It. The feasibility of permitting the Or egon Good Roads association to accept the construction of the north and south highway as one of its duties was dis cussed by H. M. Covey J. A. Jefferson of Salem, declared that as soon as con vict labor was put on the roads they would be built and built well. Illustrative of the belief in the prac ticability of the road held by prominent Oregon citizens, John S. Beall reported a message he had received during the evening from C S. Jackson, who said he would duplicate the contribution of any other citizen toward its construc tion. The committee named last night con sists of the following men: Phil S. Bates, John S. Beall, Dr. Andrew C. Smith, E. H. Wemme, H. M. Covey, Frank C. Riggs and Marshall N. Dana. As chairman of the meeting, W. C. Bris tol will act with the committee, whose next meeting is called in conjunction with the meeting of the Oregon Good Roads association on the sixth floor of the Beck building next Tuesday evening. 6USTAV SIMON NOT DANGEROUSLY INJURED Gustav Simon, of the M.

SEID BACK'S LETTER VEXgS TRANSLATORS V OF PIDGIN ENGLISH Assistant United States Dis- trlct Attorney Walter H. Evans Is contemplating holding a prize competition for students of "Pid- gin English," in an effort to se- ) cure a translation of a New 4 Year's, card he and Mrs. Evans have Just received. The card was sent from Hongkong, and wished the Evanses a ., merry Christmas and Happy New Tear from Seid Back, or Seid Gain, aa Ills real name Is. Gain, who is a graduate of the Hill Military academy, and is well known here, la in China studying the Chinese language. On, the back 'of the tard he sent Is the following verse that .has caused Mr. Evans more worry than who stole the Humboldt's gold: "Klsmas chop chop come Massa cumshao large sum, i Tear luck, myshamse drink. New Year "good pidgin bring. This time blong Jolly day China cussum good thing say. My chin Joos alia long Makee you happy and strong large chance make dollar too much. Alia true talk No blong Jokes." At first easy, the taak of translating the wish soon leads Into pitfall that no one yet has fully explored. Hence the talk of the prise competition.

SAYS WOMAN -WANTS , TO WED TENTH TME That his wife has the divorce habit, and has It badly, is the tenor of an an swer filed yesterday in the circuit court, by Nicholas Gangrow of Walla Walla, to a divorce complaint filed by Ellen Gangrow. His further plea In opposing her request for a divorce is that she wants her tenth husband. Gangrow is the ninth man she has led to the altar. Mrs. Gangrow asked for a divorce in a complaint filed three weeks ago, In which she stated her husband "surrepti tiously deserted" her. In an amended bill she asked for suit money and ali mony. The husband was served with the complaint, and' yesterday1 filed his answer, which indicates that a lively fight will be made when the matter comes to trial.

Cadillac Thirty today completed most sensational record run ever made on coast. Beat Los Angeles to San Francisco record by one hour and fifty-six min utes and cut six hours and twenty-three minutes off round-trip record. Left 5 a. m. Wednesday, reached San Francisco 7:49 p. m. The distance is 487 miles over six mountain ranges. Best previous record made by six-sixty Thomas, driven by best racing driver on coast. Also beat time of fastest night flyer on railroads. Stopped only eleven minutes, and without going to any garage start ed on return trip, completing 974 miles in thirty-two hours and thirty-five min utes. This is the most coveted record in the west, and during past year fully twenty attempts have been made to break the one-way record. The rough roads and stiff mountain grades racked these cars to pieces before they had com pleted half thf run made by our Cadillac. The car was a stock demi-tonneau model, with its full equipment of lamps and fenders.. It carried four passengers all the way. This road champion was in such perfect condition when it finished here today that we decided to immediately start it on a six-day non-stop run without even going in the garage. We did this $ demonstrate conclusively to the public that the Cadillac could not only accomplish what no other car of any horsepower or price had been able to do, but after this thousand miles of.the most terrific road strain to which a car could be subjected was in condition to continue running for six days without a single adjustment or repair. . Parade of enthu siastic Cadillac owners followed arrival of record-breaker. Greatest reception ever given an automobile and its crew in the west. California motoring public amazed at this wonderful record. Accept my congratulation for building Amer ica's greatest road car. DON LEE, Cadillac Agent.

" Time and time again efforts have been made to promote the Interest of the farmers of the growing of flax. All were failures, but now those who be lieve In Oregon's future as a flax grow ing communtly, say they are on the right track. Especially will the com mittee consider the practicability of getting a mill erected to cost from $100, 000 to $160,000.
