" Friends of the bill were at oni time fearful that a deadlock had been reached, and that they would never be ble to bring the. bill into conference There Is tome bitter opposition to the lorest road provision, aad thin opio : iltlon, fearing that the house con ferees may be disposed to accept the Walsh forest road amendment, threat ened to hold It on the calendar unless Instructions were Riven against agree ing to the aenate rider. . Tha rules committee was appealed to with success, and a special rule was reported taking the bill from the-calendar to conference. Shackle ford of Missouri, Baunders of Virginia and-Dunn of New York were appointed as the house conferees, and at least onej of these is said to favor the ' million a year amendment for build Ins: across lands of the national forests on a relmburstment plan. . If this plan finally wins, there is hope for early construction of the con . necttng ioad around Mt. Hood - and fcr a road to the Orexon caves, in Josegphlne county. Officials of the . forest .service have made estimates and surveys for both of these road The one to the caves' is estimated lo cost; in round figures, $37,000 or 4r -000, i according- to the route adopted while the Mt. Hood road will cost over twice that amount. DIRECT PRIMARY IS GIVEN FAINT PRAISE ' . BY BOURNE BUREAU "Washing-ton, June 1. (WASHING -TOUT BUREAU OF THE JOlTtN'AI,.)

The man ner in which the primary campaign has been conducted is, therefore, not only , a Jifttiflcatlon in large measure for the primary system Itself, but it Js a dem onstration of the high order of states - ma$shlp of the men whose friends hav induced them to submit themselves for --the consideration of the voters of the Republican party." TJria Bourn publicity faetory has beeB giving most of its attention to the tariff, being much distressed by the lac It of high protective duties. Occa 1 alonally It takes a side swipe at the -, treasury statement and the seamen's law, but the tariff Is the main fare at all the meals. This Is not surprising. In view of the large number of captains of big busl- rieks who organised it and are supply ' Inar the funds for propaganda. Some s how, thepeople do not peem to take any alarming Interest i!n the tariff question, and the effort to drag It In by the ears is regarded by some of the Republican onlookers as poor politics.

Raleigh. NT. C, Jun 1. (I. N. S.) , Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, In a speech before the Chamber of Com merce last night sounded the key note of the Democratic campaign.' Mr. McAdoo declared the country has an overflowing dinner pall, that money and credit are abundant and that the demand for labor exceeds the supply, i He predicted the creation of a mer chant marine and the expansion . of American enterprise and business In South America. Dinner rail Overflowing. Mr. McAdoo said: Prosperity nas permeated every ccrner ox the country. We not alone have the full dinner pail but the over flowing dinner pail. Money and credit arc abundant, the ghost of panic ha been securely laid. This is due, not to transitory war orders or ephemeral trade, but to the amazing economic strength of the United State. "The federal reserve act, which- is new generally conceded to be the most constructive measure placed upon our statute books In a half century, Is the greatest contributing factor in this happy condition. Banks Haw Big Surplus. "The prosperity of the country Is strikingly reflected In the surplus re serves of the national banks. These great resources carry with them both opportunity and responsibility oppor tunity to serve the nation's needs in the highest degree and to extend as sistance to our splendid neighbors of South and Central America who are suffering severely for the reserves needed for their own development. "I jpust express my lack of sympathy with the views so strenuously put. for ward that the United States must face a period of aerious depression upon the conclusion of peace in Europe. Prosperity Hot la Sanfer. "An analysis of the conditions of the United States and of th possible economic efforts' of war in Europe does not give the slightest Justification for any fear for our own prosperity.

"The necessity for the creation of an American merchant marine, for the ' regulation of ocean freight rates and for the establishment of a shipping board is Just as imperative now as It was then.
