F. Jones, L. J Simpson and Charles HaJl. - Last June the voters of Oregon de cided te iaaue bends to the amount of $3,500,002 for the construction of the highway on condition that the federal government would appropriate a like amount and - maintain the road after construction.

To get ; an appropriation from con gress will require' a special act. "The present session of eongress said Mr. Jones, "is trimming appropriations and it is hard to get things like this through. It would establish a precedent which would bring an avalancbb of . demands on the treasury department from other states. : : - - - - . ? ; . - "We had a hearing before the com mittee en roads and submitted full data which seemed ' to Impress the members of Aha committee.
