He announced: Thirty days from date the work of hardsurfacing will begin. By October the hardsurfacing of the 70 miles of road will be finished, with the exception of two miles on the Co lumbia River highway. Deep fills along this two miles of the river high way will make it advisable for the work to be done next spring, but the contracts will be let now. The strictly farmers' roads will have first attention, because their hard surfacing for winter travel Is of great er Importance than the scenio Colum bia river highway. Work will begin first on Base Lisa road, because It Is carrying a double load of travel since the opening of the upper Sandy river bridge. i r LInnton or St. Helens road will come next, because, since the- United Rail ways suspended service most of the travel between LInnton .and Portland lias been on the road. i ; Work on the other roads will begin in the following orderu'1 Powell Valley.

So far as possible all work will go rorward at once, except that care will be taken not to tear up the roads to such an extent as to dis organize travel. The advertisements for the sale of the bonds and the invitations for bids on the work will be published by the county, so that bids by contractors mayJe opened a week after the bonds are sold. The sale of the bonds will be dated by the certifying of,the re sults of the election, but can be ac complished within 20 to 25 days. But three other counties In the Unit ed States rank with Multnomah county bonds in the estimation of bond buy ers. Inquiries about thebonds were received by county commissioners be fore the election. Not only is It tx pected that sale will be prompt, but that the premium may be $20,000 to $30,000. The .bonds run 15 years and draw Interest at 5 per cent. They will be retired serially after the first five years In 10 equal annual payments of $125,000 each. Many Will Be Employed.

SILKS CARTED OFF ARE WORTH ABOUT $50,000 Ten Auto Trucks Were Used to Get Loot Scene of Away From Robbery. Buffalo, N. Y., April 15. fU. P. Twenty masked robbers held up a New York Central fast freight train near Sanborn early today and escaped with silks valued at $50,000, which they loaded onto ten automobile trucks. The train was en route from Boston to Chicago when it was stopped within 15 miles of Buffalo by the .rmed gang. Engineer Morris Goss, displaying the greatest daring, cut his engine away from the train, despite warning shout ed to him by the robbers, and dashed away with the bandits firing upon him. Goss ran his engine to Suspension bridge where he spread the alarm and asked for help. The return of Goss with a posse on his engine alone pre vented the robbers from securing a greater amount of loot. The robbery, which is unique In the history of railroading, occurred at 2, o'clock this morning. Goss had slowed' down his train upon passing Sanborn and a man suddenly jumped out on the track and waved a warning signal. Goss stopped and i two men Immedi ately climbed Into the cab of the en gine and covered the engineer and fireman 'With revolvers. The train crew left the caboose to' learn why the train had been stopped when they were confronted with masked men, covered with revolvers and; ordered to put up their hands. i The train crew (was then marched forward toward thd engine, where they were lined up and guarded by one bandit, while the other began unload ing the cars and carrying the, loot to the waiting automobile trucks. Members of the crew declared that after ; Goss j escaped on his engine, leaders of the gang gave orders for the greatest haste In nn- loadlng the cars. Costly sjlks -were ttmMed anopra hurried to tne trucks, and as GOs was heard return ing, the entire gang fled, jumped onto the trucks ana aasnea away. Railroad detectives this afternoon declared they haq found promising clues and that arrests of the automo bile bandits might j be expected within a few hours. Never before have such extensive plans obviously been made for a railroad robbery, and for this reason the detectives believe It will not be difficult to locate at least some of the robbers. GREAVES, MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, ARE TO BE DEPORTED BY THE U.S. English Women Who Posed As Americans Blame Jeal ous Wife of Steel Official, San Francisco, Cal., April 15. (P. N 8.) Mrs. Rebecca Greaves and her 22-year-old daughter. Phyllis, have to day lost their long battle for legal resi dence in the United States and are or dered deported to England by Federal Judge Iooling. Judge Pooling's de cision, upholding the action taken by the authorities of the Immigration de partment at Washington, was rendered late last night. 1 The action of Judge Dooling was taken on a demurrer of Assistant United States Attorney Walter E. Hettman to the applications for writs of habeas corpus taken by the two wo men. The story told by Mrs. Greaves was that the agitation for her de portation and that of her daughter was begun by Mrs. Benjamin Northrup, wife of an official of the United States Steel Products company. Mrs. Greaves had business dealings with Mr. Northrup, following the death of her own husband, who was an auditor of the steel company, and Mrs. Northrup, according to her, became jealous of both her and hef daughter. It was contended by Mrs. TNorthrup that the two women kept her husband from her, and that it was their in fluence that "made! him neglectful." The action for deportation was taken on the ground that the two women were, in this country following the false swearing before immigration officials. It was contended by the gov ernment that MrsL Greaves, on her various entries Into) the country, stated she was an American. "And the trick always worked." t The request of Mrs. Greaves that she be sent to Canada, where she was born, according to Judge Dooling, must be referred to the secretary of labor.

By William G. Shepherd. (Copyright, 1315, by the United Press Copyrighted in Great Britain.) Headquarters of the British Army, Northern France, April 15. The Ger mans are firing shells marked "Made In the United States" against the Brit ish. They have been doing so ever since the American military attaches were withdrawn from Germany. It is generally understood that the American attaches were withdrawn be cause the Germans repeatedly called to their attention the fact that the Rus sians were using American shells. The situation became so embarrassing to the attaches that they founcj it neces sary to leave. Then, almost as soon as the attaches had departed from Ger many, British officers noted that the Germans were using shells apparently of American manufacture. They bear the mark of "R. Stock & Co. - Tftere is a sufficiently large collec tion of these shells at British head quarters to establish the fact that the Germans possessed a considerable sup ply of the supposed American! ammuni tion. Whether they are using the shells so as to indicate to the English that their navy is not preventing the ship ment of ammunition from tlie United States to Germany, or with the inten tion of creating criticism of the United States in England, are questions as yet unsolved. There is no doubt that the shipment of ammunition from the United States to Germany ended almost as; soon as the war started, owing to the activities of the English fleet. The shells the Germans are using were, therefore, either sold to Germany before the war or were not made in the United States at all, but have been falsely labeled. No Firm of "Stock & Co." New York, April 15. (U. P.) At the offices of the Remington Arms" & Am munition company here it was stated positively this afternoon that there is no firm of American ammunition man ufacturers known as "R. Stock & Co." Officials said they knew of no such firm abroad.

After sailing out over the North sea the Zeppelin Z-9 attempt- ed to sink the British tug Ju- piter, according to the cap- tain of the vessel arriving at Blythe at noon today. The searchlight of the airship lo- cated the Jupiter, the captain said, and the huge aircraft then descended almost to the mast- Dt head of his vessel. The Zep- pelin crew was attempting to put explosives over the side when the tug managed to ma-. neuver from under the airship and escaped. The Zeppelin jjt chased the Jupiter for several ifr miles but finally gave up and disappeared to the east. By W. S. Forrest London. April 15. (U. P.)

Eleven towns were attarjked, explosive and incen dairy bombs being hurled upon them from the sky. At least 30 missiles, falling from high above, tore great holes In the ground and spurted flames to the terror of the aroused Inhabi tants. A South Shields correspondent wired herevtoday that the raider was the Zeppelin Z-9. At the conclusion of the bombard ment the Zeppelin flew eastward across the North sea,, while- machine gnns and rifles rattled harmlessly in sending a hail of lead in the -invader's wake.
