difficult.

T FOR LAST
MPORTANT STEP IN
American Exploration Company to
Grade Canyonsville-Galesville '
Section of Pacific Highway.
The last Important step In the Im
provement of the Pacific highway was
the letting of the grading contract for
the Canyonville-Galesville section in
Douglas county to the American Explor
ation company by the United States
forest service.
The road is a forest road In which the
state, federal government and Douglas
county will cooperate. The estimated
! cost of the Improvement Is $157,000. Of
i this amount the county appropriates
$23,000 and the state and federal gov-
ernment each $67,000. The contractors
I are the same who constructed the Wolf
creek hill grade in Josephine county for
,' the state.
The completion of the Canyonville
Galesville stretch will eliminate all the
bad spots on the Pacific highway be
fween Eugene and the California bound
' ary and bring the highway to a state of
r.eaf completion.
Bids for the Improvement of the
Three Rivers road in Tillamook county
were also opened yesterday by the for
est service but all were rejected, be
Ing considered too high. It is prob
nine inai at me next can ior mas l a-
mook countv. following the .mnl. f
. ... . ..
Union county, will submit a bid.
The estimated cost of this construc
tion is $15,000. which Is to be equally
apportioned between the county, state
and federal government.

method in monarchical government
adopted by King Alphonso of Spain to
arrive at a closer footing of Intimacy
with his subjects was recently described .
by Leopold Arnaud, secretary of th ;
Spanish Chamber of Commerce here,
upon his arrival on la Spanish steamer. ;
King Alphonso. feeling there was not
a proper understanding between th
throne and the people, established A
complaint bureau at .'Madrid where any
cne who had objections to governmental
methods could register their objection
or could make suggestion affecting the
Improxement of the government, the sec
retary said.
The more practicable of the sug
gestions would then h published In the
newspapers, and if found meeting with
popular approval, would be incorporated
lr.tn thu laws of the nation.
Mr. Arnaud, who spoilt the last year
in Spain, said the plan was meeting
with great success and ai endearing
the king to the people as never before.
A popular move that also served to
Mrongly intrench Alphonso in the high
estimation of his subjects. Mr. Arnaud
declared, was his voluntary raise of the
pay for all members of the army re
