THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, P ORTLAND, MONDAY, JUNE 23. 1919. DESCHUTES PLANS TO PUT $125,000 INTO ITS HIGHWAY Combined Funds of County, State and Federal Government 'Is to Be Nearly a Million Dollars. ROADS TO BE STRAIGHTENED Use of "Cinders," Volcanic Ash , Formation Considered Value Is Not Yet Fully Determined. By R. C Joknaon Bend, June 23. Probably the slowest . - ... . . ( . . . v. - a a - ana man unuiurraun sireicn ui row In Oregon is the 16 mile stretch through, the Jack pine forest on the route from , DLekeview to Bend. It rune over a " Seeply rutted volcanic a8h bed and the A dust rises but a few feet from the Bur face Battling: around the tonneau of. the automobile In a cloud owing to the tabaence of a breeze. .- -When the road was laid out more attention "was given to the avoidance of the trees thatuto maintaining a straight . .' course ahead. It -winds like a cork screw and as a result a ear cannot out run the dust. It is claimed for stage - drivers that they soon learn every turn, ' crook and bumps n : their drive. The - man .who drives the stage from Bend to , Silver lake must have a wonderful memory. He certainly does not need to Take a course In memory development. ' 'This condition will soon cease to exist " in this era of good roads. When the plans or improvement now in process 01 execution are realized It will be a better - road, to say the least. BE5D 18 GATEWAY 1 From a state highway standpoint. Bend is the gateway of Southern Cen . tral Oregon.- It stands at the apex of the' Bend-Klamath Falla-Lakeview 445 , mile , triangle, r To Klamath Falls It Is a distance of J 50 miles and to Lake view the span is l!p miles. Jn addition to this Bend Is on the road to Burns. 150 miles away, and on the west it reaches Into the McKensle pass road and on into the Willamette valley. " On the north It .connects over The Dalles-Calif grni a highway with the Columbia": river highway. Thdse who v travel to aid from Creater lake from the north on the eastern slope of the Cascades must pass through Bend. -Deschutes county, of which Bend Is the county seat, has bonded itself in the sum of $125,000 in order to cooperate with the state and federal government in the Improvement of Its highways. The combined expenditure will reach Into - the neighborhood of $1,000,000. The county fund is to be applied as follows: , The Dalles-California highway $60,000, the Slsters-Mlllican' road $35,000 the Sisters-PrlnevUle road $20,000. The re maining $5000 of the Issue Is to be used on two local roads. OFIXIOIOS DIVIDED The first step In cooperation with the state Is to be taken on the Improvement ' of The Dalles-Cay fornia road, between the Jefferson county boundary and Send. It Is estimated that this will cost 4100,000. Of this the state will approprl- ate $40,000 only. . At I Pine, JO miles south of Bend, this program Is not satisfactory. It is thought there that their road Is in more ' reed of Improvement, for the reason that the section has no railroad, and must depend on the auto truck for Its supplies. But unfortunately this section has not ik many voters as wm norm eua n. mo . county. Towering above this local , divergence of . opinion as to where construction should first begin Is a general county dissatisfaction with the program of state cooperation. When It voted a bond Issue the county expected to have -its ? funds matched at least dollar "for dollar, ', If not three to one. The reason given .by the state highway commission for not- meeting , the expectation of the . Deschutes county people at once la a 3ack of funds. - . '"The' commission has not heard the .last word from us," said' T. H. Foley, president 'of the Bend Commercial club- i "Just wait until they jcome down here." k"f COMPBOMISE IS EXPECTED In the location of The Dalles-California highway, north of Bend, there is a local contention. One faction wants the . road to go .through Tumalo, another ' wants It by way of Deschutes. A com '. promise route is one which passes be : tween the two points. The state survey n A mild fragrant, genuine Sumatra .wrapper and long filler. A perfect blend of the finest imported and old domestic tobaccos obtainable. Smokers who know El Dallo say it is "equal to the average 10c cigar and superior to most" ! f l. I Made bv the - U N WtKlntUUK BROS, Baltimore, Md. I Dlttrineted throngs t ' THE BLTJMAFER-FRANK DRCG COMPANT PORTLAND, OB, has been made 1 over this . and - it will probably be adopted. - . " - , Going north from Bend The Dalles CaUfornla highway and ;the -Sisttrs-Prlnevllle road wilt " have a common trunk to near .Tumalo. From Sisters to the eastern boundary of the county In the direction of Prfnevllle the -distance Is 47 miles. On the Dalles-California highway the distance from Bend to the north lino of the countyHs-24 miles, ac cording to the . state survey. By -the present county road It is 2S miles. A savings of four miles has been made by the elimination of turns. ' The average cost of grading in this county Is esti mated at $3000 per1 mile. To macadamise costs approximately $7000 a mile more. making a total cost of a surfaceroad $10,000 per mile. :fv; . ; 1 "CIXDEItS' USE JPEOB ABLE Z 1 In connection with road surfacing Deschutes county I has a peculiar - ma teriai. It Is known locally as "cinders." It Is a residue from the volcanoes, which In prehistoric times poured out their molten mass over tnis region. Having no life it is very light. It packs down easily and does not blow away. The supply Is unlimited, there being several buttea of It containing millions of cubic yards. The only question is it durability. The streets of Bend' and roads In the vicinity have been surfaced with it and; thus jfar it has worn well under traffic- It, is thought that If the proper maintenance is given it it wiH last and be the solution of a serious problem in this portion of the state, where the cost of pavement would be very large. At best it can only be eald In behalf of it that its use is in the ex perimental stage. ' In a general way the existing roade of Deschutes county are in good condition. There has been an unusual amount of tourist travel to and from California on this side of the .mountains. Much of the increase is probably due to the fact JJiat construction work on the Pacific high way is thus avoVded. TERMS OF ALLIES ARE FINALLYSUBMITTED TO (ContintMd FVtn Pre One) known your decision relatjve to the signing of the treaty without any reser vation. (Signed) O. CLEMENCEAU." FIXAX. BEPJVT REACHES WEIMAR The final reply of the allies to an eleventh hour attempt by the new Ger man cabinet to win further concessions reached Weimar early today. Information reaching here from au thoritative sources at Weimar is that the last notes sent to the allies, protest ing against fixing responsibility for the war on Germany, and against the pun ishment of the ex-kalser. were framed in an effort to "save Germany's face." The Germans alleged that they were unable to reach a final decision with respect to the peace treaty without fur ther time. President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau found themselves in absolute unanimity in the decision to refuse the request. In anticipation of official word of Germany's decision to sign before the expiration of the allied ultimatum to night, arrangements were going forward at Versailles for the actual ceremony of signing: President Wilson and other Big Five leaders are hoping that a new German delegation can reach Versailles in time to sign tomorrow, but it appears more likely that the signatures will be at tached on Wednesday or Thursday. Despite this feeling of absoluce confi dence that the Germans will sign. Mar shal Foch'a preparations for the ad vance Into Germany did not relax today and American military headquarters, was alive with activity. The veteran First and Second divi sions of General Pershing's forces are ready to begin the advance toward Cas sel on a moment's notice. CONDITIONS ALLEGED "IMPOSSIBLE" In the notes received from the Ger man government Sunday ' night, and to which the allies immediately dispatched negative replies, the German govern ment "engages to fulfill the conditions of peace," but adds : "It (the German republic) desires. however, in this solemn moment to ex press itself with unreserved clearness in order to meet in advance any accusation of untruthfulness that may now or later be made 'against Germany. The condi tions imposed exceed the measure of that which Germany can In fact per form. The government of the German republic, therefore, feels itself bound to announce that it makes all reservations and declines all responsibility as regards the consequences which may be threat' ened against Germany, when, as is bound to happen, the impossibility of carrying out the conditions comes to light, even though German capacity to fulfill is stretched to the utmost" WOULD DENY RESPONSIBILITY The German government then followed with a statement refusing to recognise Germany s sole responsibility for the war. and declining to recognise the right "Each Cigarin its own umidor satisfying 'smoke - V ! Millions of the allies to Impose .burdens upon her on the score of responsibility. It further declared it impossible ; for a German "to reconcile it with his dignity and honor to accept and execute articles 227 to 230 by which Germany is required to give up to the allied and associated powers for trial Individuals among the German people who are accused by the allied and associated powers for the breach of international law - and 'com mitting acts contrary to the customs of war.", - - ; V - .: ' 1 "The German government also protests against the taking away of her colonial possessions and against ; - the reasons given therefor, which permanently deny to Germany fitness for colonial activity." The German . government, the note says, believes itself to be entitled to ad dress the following modest ; request to the allies and associated governments in the expectation that the allied and fed erated governmeniajwHl consider the fol lowing declaration as an Integral part ofthe treaty.;. ' ...... c :j '.' ..,.'w WOULD HAVE TREATT REFERRED " "Within two years, qonnting from the day "when the treaty is signed.' the allied and associated governments will submit t'ae present treaty to the htgh council of the powers as constituted by the League of Nations according to article four for She . purpose of subsequent examination. Before this high council the German plenipotentiaries are to -enjoy the same1 r.ghts and privileges as the representa tives of the other contracting, powers of the present treaty. This council shall decide in regard to those conditions of the present treaty which impair the rights of elf -determination of the Ger man people and also in regard to the rtipulatlon whereby the free economic development of Germany on a footing of equal rights is impeded." "The government of the German re public accordingly gives the declaration cf its consent as required by the note Of June 18. 1919, in the following form: "The government of the German re public is ready to sign the terms of peace without, however, recognizing those , by 'hat the German people was the author of the war and-responslbility for deliver ing persons in accordance with articles 227 to 230 of the treaty of jeace." " ASSEMBLY VOTES 237 TO 138 IN FAVOR OF SIGNING PEACE By Alfred G. Andersen Weimar. June 22 (Delayed). The new German cabinet, headed by Herr Bauer, is committed to signing the peace treaty without condition. j - i ' It is significant that the post of minis ter of the colonies was canceled, Ger many losing her colonies by. the treaty of peace. Dr. Herman Mueller the new foreign minister, is not likely to go to Versailles to sign the peace treaty. Instead, It was stated today, he will wire Dr. Hanlel von Haimhausen of the German peace delegation at Versailles to give oyiclal notice ' to the allies that Ger many Is ready to sign. He will ask that a copy of the treaty be sent to hra off ide in Berlin for signature. 237 TO 138 FOR SIGXIXG The national assembly voted late this afternoon 237 to 138 to sign the treaty, after Herr Bauer, the new prime min ister, had explained the position or tne new government in an address lasting about an hour. Official announcement of the resignation of the peace delega tion headed by Count von Brockdorrr- Rantzau, Is expected within a few hours. The assembly met at noon. Premier Bauer mounted the rostrum and began his address and tense silence. .."This. is a moment of life and death under the threatening invasion of the enemy," he said. "I rise for the last time in free Germany a protest against this peace of might and annihilation, a protest against this Insult of the people of self-determination, a protect against this enslaving of the German people, against this new kind of world peace." AME5DMEATS DO IfOT HELP He added that the treaty does not lose its annihilating details by the amendments recently made by the al lies and told the assembly that it was impracticable to guarantee its fulfill ment. A vote of confidence in his ministry, and the vote in favor of signing the treaty followed the address. There was no lengthy discussion. The resolution in favor of signing the treaty carried no reservations, but some of the delegates voting "Yes" afterward declared they understood the resolution meant that the cabinet was empowered, by the resolution, to make its accept ance of the treaty conditional. The op ponents of the treaty declared the f rant ers of the resolution deliberately omitted all conditions and stipulations in order to win the votes of the independent So cialists, who probably would have re fused to sign any resolution that did not declare for a signature without condi tion., . WOULD DEJfT RESPONSIBILITY Premier Bauer read to the assembly a copy of the note sent to the allies, protesting against the treaty clauses placing responsibility for the war ' on Germany and calling for the punishment of the former kaiser. "The government of Germany, through Its representatives, is ready to sign the peace treaty without thereby .acknowl edging that the German people orig inated the war and without agreeing to articles 227 to 230," the note said, v Dr. Bell, who was first slated to be come a member of the new ministry, without portfolio, was later assigned to the post of minister of national com munications. He will wind up the af fairs of the colonial office. UNEQUIVOCAL DECISION . - INSISTED ON BY ALLIES Paris, t June 23.--(U. P.) In replying to the Germans' . request for an exten sion of time. Premier . Clemenceau stated: i '-',?. "The allied and associated powers have considered the notes bf the Ger man delegation of even date and,, in view of the shortness of time remain ing, feel it their-duty to reply at once. . Of the time within "Which- the German government must make their final decision as to signature of the treaty, less than 24 hours remain.; "The allied and associated govern ments have given fullest consideration to ail of the representations hitherto made by the German government with regard to the treaty, have replied with complete frankness and have made such concessions as they thought it just to make, and the present note of i the German delegation presents no ; argu ments for consideration not , already examined.: -v. ,f v ":; "The allied and associated govern ments therefore feel constrained to. say that the time for discussion has passed. They can accept or acknowledge no Qualifications or reservations and must require of the German representatives an unequivocal decision as to their purpose to sign and accept' as a whole, er net te sign and accept the treaty as finally formulated. After the signature the allied and associated powers must hold Germany responsible for the exe cution of every stipulation of the treaty." ' : - SMALL NATIONS OF BALKANS THREATEN TO MENACE PEACE Paris, June 23. Into the general feel ing of optimism that has been created by the latest news from Weimar, a note of gloom is injected by the apparent widening ef the split in the allied ranks, all the disgruntled littie nations band ing together in a formidable unlt.again&t Vix big five sirii3" against Italy. 1 Premier Bratlanu of . -Roumanla is understood to be the leader la this move ment to have Greece, Poland, Roumanla. Serbia and others break away from the peace congress and arraign themselves against the five big powers, as well as the League of Nations, until, as they term it, they are given a "square deal." This sensational step v was actually planned for three weeks ago and would have come to pass but for the Influence of Eleutherios v Venlzelos,' the Greek premier, who counseled "watchful wait ing" for a short time. f' i However, the rift is widenina and the situation Is approaching a crisis for these main reasons: ; - ; : f First. The Italian attitude on the Dal matian question as against 'the -Jugoslavs- and Serbs and accumulating charges that Italy is giving aid and comfort to the Austro-German armies now fighting the Jugo-Slavs. Second. Open hostilities by Italy against Greece in occupying certain Bal kan regions. Third. Settlement of the Upper Sile- aian question contrary to Poland's de mands. ' ' ; ' Fourth. Roumanla's. bitter hostility to the Paris agreement, as the Rouman ians see it, "to go over the heads of individual small nations and take care of small religious and political bodies within those nations." , Already there are rumblings here of immediate war against Italy by this proposed new entente of small nationali ties.

' OUT OF DRY' BILL House Judiciary Committee Votes Down Power to Enter Resi dences; Minimum Fine Out. Washington, June 23. (U. P.)

PRESENT AT FINAL E Gathering That Fills Entire Lower Floor of The Auditorium Hears Dr. Van Winkle of Oakland. OFFICERS ARE INSTALLED Newly Elecjed Officials Are In - ducted fato Office and Depart ment Heads Are Announced. Before" an audience . that filled the lower floor of The Auditorium Sunday night. Dr. H. A. Van Winkle of Oakland delivered the closing address of the twenty-eighth annual Oregon Christian Endeavor convention. The gathering. was the largest" assembly of young peo ple of the church recorded in the city's history. Dr. Van Winkle spoke on "Consecrated Miles," taking first the losing miles and then the winning mile of life. "The kind of young people we produce today," he said, ' "means the kind of a nation we will have tomor row."' He then dwelt on the nations of the world that have risen to the pinna cle of power, including Germany, Say" Ing : "I care not how much culture, education, guns,, ammunition or poison gas a nation has, they can not stay on top, they can not rule the world if they try to live without God." He compared the home, business and education to that of the life of the nation and declar ed that all would prove a failure with out the aid of God. Dr. Van Winkle also dwelt on the' divorce evil, and showed the way in which it would un dermine this nation if it continues. CHtTRCH ITT PEACE The speaker also advised those in authority to consider the church in times of peace as they did in the time of war. "The president and secretary of war sent letters to the ministers of the nation during j the war, telling us they could not win the "war without the help of the -church," Dr. Van Winkle said. "It is time. then. that , they were being recognised also in the time of peace and included in the great prob lem of reconstruction that now con fronts the nation, and which is as big a task as the war itself. The church should be .given a chance to spread its gospel of love in the schools and Insti tutions of the nation, so that they could train young lives rightly." This state ment brought forth considerable ap plause. Before closing his address the speak er advised the young people to advertise their work and to make use of every advertising agency.
