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.

week.
from which a class of 16 members
On Tuesday evening, March 23, 16
girls received diplomas signifying the
completion of the graded course of the
domestic science department of the
Y. 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

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

One has to be up' and coming these
days to succeed In the business or
professional field Too many days'
feeding at the public : crib is likely
to 'put a man out of condition and
seriously handicap -him for the race-
he is usually forced to enter on quit
ting office. -
r-feel pleased to think, that I had
the sense to break away while I was
yet In condition to compete. '
"r "I find that my experience in the
state land office, on, the "railroad com
mission and in the governor's office
has brought me a vast amount of in
formation,, .which I believe will prove
of the greatest value to me in the
practice of law;; the profession I have
chosen to follow.
"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.
I am therefore at peace with the world
and thank God I am out of .office."

"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

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.
