H, Douglas, in Rous ing Address, Calls Atten tion to Need of Highways GIRLS FINISH DOMESTIC SCIENCE COURSE ECONOMY OF PLAN SHOWN Flrit C3wi Soadi Ealiuc Value of . Property "Which, They Penetrate, It X Declared. A bond issue of $1,250,000 with whkh to hard surface 70 miles of im portant roads is little enough for so rich a county as Multnomah to ask of its people, declared Dr. G. II. Doug- las In an. address delivered before the Multnomah Commercial club last week. ' At the conclusion of Dr. Douglas' ad dress, the, club unanimously Indorsed the proposed bond issue and adopted resolutions-Tallin upon all citizens to vote for the bonds at the special elec tion,, April 14. "Our present macadam roads cost $1000 a mile a year for upkeep," said Dr. Douglas, "and for the 70 miles of road $70,000 would be saved every year If the roads were hard surfaced. They are guaranteed for 10 years, so $700, 000 would be saved to the county in 10 years; and during this time we have the roads always in a first class con dition. Durability Demonstrated, "I understand there is a hard sur faced street in Portland laid 14 years ago that has not had to have one cent . of expenditure for repairs as yet. If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, .we can add $280,000 more, making a million dollars that would 1 saved by not having to spend so much on the. upkeep of the roads. : "It cost $18,000 each year for oil'ng the county roads, and this 70 miles of hard surface would be deducted as it . retrulres no oll.lng. "Hard surface roads are the most economical in the end. -"You ask, 'How are we going to pay for hard surfacing?' "In a very safe and sane way. viz.: 67.7 cents each year on every $1000 of tax valuation- or a grand total of $5.56 per $1000 in the 10 years that these bonds run. It is safe to say that in "10 years the lax valuation of Multno mah' county will have doubled. Kaoh year the tax on the bonds will decrease proportionately. "First' class roads increase the value of the property which they penetrate. In Wayne county, Michigan, they have a perfect road. It is the model copied by the builders of the Lincoln high way, Land has doubled in valuation . in the district reached by this road. Waste and Benefited. "Near 'Seattle waste land has been cultivated 'since roads were hard sur faced and thousands upon thousands of dollars have been received' by'the farm ers in profits on the sale of their. pro duce. "It requires about a fourth as much effort to haul a load over a hard sur face roud as over a dirt load. King county,, having profited from I ' 1 " r ! ' ' ! .

W. C. A. An informal party was. held for the girls and their guests. Games and a program followed by the presentation of diplomas filled the early part of the evening. Later the guests were taken to the domestic science depart ment where dainty refreshments were served In the dining room. . The graduates were: Maude Dag gett, Bess Daggett, Mary Nave, Ellen Nelson, Cora Osmund, Stella Osmund Do Laughlin, Estella Marshall, Mabel Diamond, Charlotte Prince, . Mercy Flint, Ethel Graves, Wynne Hanny, Dolly Pratt, Mary O'Donnell and Flor ence Murphy.

"I entered public life "with a firm belief that a public office was a pub lic trust and held fast to such princi- fples from the beginning .to the end. I undoubtedly made many blunders during my term of office but I think it will also develop in time that much good was 'accomplished. Both the good and the bad are on record and in spite of misrepresentation each will survive and tell its story according to its -own rneasure. "My prison work brought me much pleasure for earried a message of hope and opportunity to many helpless and forgotten individuals. The re sults obtained in this and other work undertaken during my of fical career have more than repaid' me for my ef forts and have caused me to forget the unjust criticisms and misrepresen tations which were my daily portion.

Former Swiss Consul : Dead. (Oast Kens Serviee.) , San Francisco. March 27. A cable gram received here this afternoon an nounced the death in Switzerland last night ,of Antoue Borel, millionaire pres ident of Borel & Co. in this city and former Swiss consul here., ' "How does it feel to be a private citizen?" I Oswald West, - ex-governor of Ore gon, smiled as he repeated the ques tion, sitting at his desk in his law of fice in The Journal building. ! "I'll tell you how It feels," he said, "It feels mighty good. It feels like getting out of jail might feel." At the expiration of his four-year term as governor, January 1, 1915, Slr West had been in public office, the guardian of a public trust, for 12 years continuously. He is 41 years pld, married, with one child, a daugh ter. Those were 12 busy years ''for him. During his term of office as state land agent, beginning in 1903, the state land fraud cases attempts to recover for the people of Oregon school lands that had been alienated into private bands by alleged fraudulent methods w-ere in progress, and he took an ac tive part. Never X.oafed On Job. Then, in 1907, Mr. West was ap pointed state railroad commissioner. The Commission was a new thing, with method and policy unborn. There was no rest for West here. Continuing as. railroad, commission er, he was elected governor and took' office January 1, 1911. Hot even his severest critics ever accused him of loafing on this job. Rather, they ac cused him of neurotic activity, which was all the more distasteful to them because they never knew Just what form it .was going to take. Of one thing only were the West opponents sure. Wherever he should break out, the chances were that they would not have enough fire extinguishers. ; Now this is all over. Oswald West is a private citizen. At the service of the whole public of the state be fore, he is now at the service of the individual citizen as a private attor ney. He says it is almost impossible to express his happy relief at bein safe ly removed from the vxations and vicissitudes of public office. It is a delight for him to read the newspa pers and not see his name in the head lines for no governor of a western state, perhaps, ever got there of tener. "I can smile over the other fellow's troubles when I couldn't smile over mine," he said, discussing this phase of his emancipation. "1 can say, 'Well, I should worry,' and turn to the sport ing page to see what Bob Cronin has to say about McCredie's latest recruit In the training camp down! south. Politics Great' Wesson. "Politics teach a maivaf wonderful lesson," he continued, "if he can live through all stages of the disease and come through as 1 believe I have, with the political bacillus entirely elimin- over nor ated from his system. They teach a man that the satisfaction of political ambition, by itself alone, is a mock ery. It is only, I believe, when a fel low can look back with the knowledge that he has used the transient power that has been entrusted to him by the people ror the public good, that there is any satisfaction. "The West family was, of course, very happy when I was elected gov ernor. It was an honor which should be pleasing to anyone. But they were far happier when the time: came for me to step down and out." Mr. West says that he can heartily commend his own post-official emo tion of happy relief to any and all office holders Who may be fearful of losing their jobs. " They Z.lke to Hold On. "Public officials do not as a rule take kindly to the thought of being separated from their position" said Mr. West. "Most of them Ing on until they are shaken loose, and, even after their fall, often to the 'end of their days., many of them devote their whole time and effort to an effort to get back to the public trough. "Long years of office holding can unfit a man for the business world. "LIQUID FIRE" USEQ BY ENEMY : UPON RUSSIANS (Continued From Page One.) in the mountains. The enemy in this region is falling back in the direction of the Uszok passes. In East Galicia, where there has been a lull in the operations for sev eral days, an Austrian battalion was repulsed at ZhozaWa with heavy losses. No reports have been received for pub lication concerning the Russian opera tions along the Buckowina frontier. A bitter struggle for possession- of the stretch of railway from Lupkow to Vidrony high in the mountains is continuing with heavy losses on both sides, according to unofficial dis patches. : Russian infantrymen are attempting to scale the icy heights and attack the enemy's gun- positions from the rear. A victory for the Slavs at 'this point will give 'thema hew gap into the Hungarian plains. '' Two Russian armies are now closing in on Bartfa after passing through' the western gaps of the Dukla. One force is moving directly south over- a wide road leading through Zboroda, a second army is crossing the open plain in a westerly direction from Svidnik. CARPATHIAN BATTLE" HOLDING ATTENTION OF AUSTRIA'S ALLIES from the Berlin correspondents accom-1 panying the German regiments at the j rront. A semi-official statement from the war office contained the state ment that he Russians have been re inforced and that "desperate fightlns is now proceeding! along the wholo line." . ,., - - " : . . The war office added that (hough the struggles .for r possession of the Lupkow passes baVe been on for sev eral days the result 1 still in doubt Vienna dispatches received here to day were equally disappointing. They commented at length on the victory over the Russian army that threatened a second invasion of Buckowina and again asserted that the Austrlans are now in Russian Bessarabia. Regard ing the Carapathian fighting they contained only reports of the capture of .several bodies of Russian troops, but did not state' where the reported engagements occurred. That the Austrian positions at Vid rony, west of Lupkow bad been malt almost impregnable, was -the claim of Berlin military men' tonight Bat teries have . been - mounted on the heights commanding the railway paos -leading - from Lupkow. From theso positions a small handful of men could successfully oppose the progress of .an army.. If the Russians succeed in forcing the Lupkow pass at thU point and invading Hungary it will be j only at a tremendous cost, - ' The possibility that the Slavs, even if they break through the Carpathians, will ever make a serious threat against Budapest, is ridiculed here. From Bartfa to the Hungarian capital is a distance of 160 miles. To make prog-. rc-ss along the Bartfa-Budapest rail-1 way and at the same time maintain j Z tneir communications tnrougn uaiicia would require millions of." men, accord ing to German military critics, and is out of the question. , In Poland,' the Russians are, on the offensive at only one point east of Augustow. Since the collapse of .their campaigns 'against Tilsit and northern East Russia, the attacks upon ' the positions in the Augustow lalte region have been growing more feeble.
