HIGHWAY ENGINEER
ELLIOTT IS UPHELD
BY THE COMMISSION
(Continued From Page One.)
quired to use Italian laborers in the
construction of walls; that the engi
neer failed to classify the work and
told subcontractors how much New
port was making thus creating dissen
sion; that Elliott tore down with a
crowbar work that had been passed by
his inspector, and, .made the con
tractor do it over again, and that El
liott had expressed his determination
to keep the amount of the cost of the
improvement under $75,000, the amount
voted for bonds. It was -asserted that
Elliott had forced the discharge of
Brown, a competent foreman, and had
refused to discharge an Incompetent
inspector. ,
Elliott flatly denied that he had
ever stated that he would keep the
cost down to $75,000. He pointed out
that he had held the contractor to the
plans and specifications and had
sought to see that the work was prop
erly performed.
Italians Were Useful.
The use of Italian workmen had been
recommended in building walls, he
eaid, because they had shown that they
were the. most efficient in this phase
of road building and that it was to
the best interests of the state to em
ploy them. He went over the charges
of the company and contradicted them.
It was brought out that the Oregon
Washington Railway & Navigation
company, along whose track the high
way runs, had been dissatisfied at
various times with the kind of work
done by the Newport company.
Bowlby told of a trip made over the
road some time ago with Newport and
stated that at that time Newport was
satief led with the treatment given hira
by the engineer in charge. If was
brought out that although Newport
had been In the contracting business
36 years, and had built 1000 miles of
railroad, among other work, this was
the first highway contract he had ever
had.
"The whole case is merely one of
contractors taking the work too
cheap," said Bowlby. "They are doing
the usual kicking, as they always do,
until the final estimate is made."
John B. Yeon told the commission
that if they permitted contractors to
come before the commission and do
their kicking, the commission would
have no end of trouble. He declared
there was no. call whatever for the

ors in Multnomah county to get out of

that the only system is to have the
engineer look after such work and -see
that -the specifications are compiled
with.
Teon Defends Benson.
Mr. Yeori reSented any thought that
S. Benson, who had devoted so many
thousands to the upbuilding Of Oregon,
would ask Engineer Elliott to hold the
cost down to $75,000 in order that he
might save a few thousand dollars on
the guarantee. '
Treasurer Kay stated that he be
lieved that no member of the board
had any idea that anything Of the sort
was asked of the engineer. He ex
pressed the highest appreciation for
the good work of A. S. Benson, S., Ben
son "and Mr. Yeon.
A. S., Benson said he had been over
the work to some extent and that he
had been Impressed with the fact thafr
the road had all been left open. He
thought it should have been possible
to complete sections of it.
Judge Stanton, of Hood River coun

he was more of a spectator than any
thing else. He merely wanted to know
how the county would come out.
PATRIOTIC BELGIAN
MONK KEEPS LONELY
VIGIL IN OLD TOWER
(Continued From Page One.)
A horrible odor rose from the water,
an odor resembling that of rotting
cabbages and decaying flesh.
Dead Lie Unburled.
"What's that?" the officer was
asked.
"Dead Germans, probably," he an
swered. "There are hundreds of dead
bodies around here which we cannot
get to and bury. They fell in trying
to cross under fire. At night we
can't locate the bodies."
Presently we left the road at right
angles and took to a causeway three
or four feet wide, made of small
branches tied in bundles, resembling
logs. The path was just above the
of the wind, now and then. lapped over.
We found the monk standing at the
base of his steeple, looking with eyes,
gray and tender as a woman's, in the
direction of the Germans, now only
200 yards away. He was a small
slim man, perhaps 30 years Of age,
with manners as gentle as a girl's.
He smiled almost constantly and was
not the morose, brooding person one
might imagine him to be, not the
world-weary individual looking for a
way to commit tuicide honorably. Ho
loved life apparently as much an
anyone, in his own fashion, and his
martyr-like and self-imposed task Of
hourly risking his life .was purely an
act of patriotism, a way of serving
mankind by serving his country.
Dons Uniform for the War.
Prior to Joining: the order the heroic
monk was in 'the artillery branch of
the army. When war was declared
be got permission to leave his cell and
get in his uniform again. His object
was to serve God " by fighting for
King' 'Albert. When the war is over
and Belgium restored to her king, he
says, he shall return to his cell, his
usefulness in the army finished.
While he had been talking the rain
stopped, it was now about S o'clock
in the morning. Th clouds thinned
and the moon came out as brilliant
almost . dav. The little island
looked ghostly and ghastly, and the
illuminating bombs constantly rising
from the German line to prevent em

Practically all " of La' Tourslne's

French line, is on board the ship.
The agents of - the line announced

The vessel's manifest reveals the
fact that she carried 4694 cases of
cartridges in her hold when she, left
here, and 139. rapid-fire guns. Her
cargo was made up largely of shoes
and uniform cloth for the soldiers of
