A few days ago it was Governor
Frank O. Lowden who was leading the
procession as regards popular sentiment
in convention circles, and antedating him
a brief period was Major General Leon

o A large part of the present Johnson
bonfire seems to have been kindled at
the expense of Lowden. Then, there is
that ever growing feeling that the CaM
fomian possesses "veto power over the

the admitted , strength of: Johnson as a

GET THEIR FEET WET; ":
Many practical politicians frankly are
of the opinion that all of the present
strong candidates are "getting their feet
wet" in the senatorial investigation of
campaign funds and that the Republican
party will have to nominate a man who
has not figured In the pre-convention
fireworks. This, they say, enhances the
chances of such men as Philander C.

The committee voted to seat the reg
ular delegates from' the Second congres
sional district of Oklahoma, who con
sisted of L. G. Disney . of Muskogee,
Okla and O. 6. Grant of Stillwell. Okla.
Their alternates are John Raper of Co

Chicago, June 3. Johnson's entry
into Chicago at 12:50 p. m. was the
signal for the noisiest demonstration
that ever greeted a presidential as
pirant, ' past or present. .Horns,
trumpets, bands and a wildly shout
ing and enthusiastic throng were at
the La Salle station to ; give ' royal
acclaim to California's native son.
"Howdy. Hiram." was m common a
form of salutation on the streets of
Chicago as a military salute is at a
military barracka ;
Johnson's machine, on its way to his
headquarters, was driven slowly in order
to give his thousands of well-wishers a
chance to shout him godspeed. . The
"write-in-club,"-consisting of those who
wrote his name on the ballot at the Il
linois primary, almost took physical
charge of their IdoL : ; j
jony&ox issues challenge ; .
After arriving:- at hia headquarters
Johnson addressed the crowd In the
street from a balcony,1: voicing: a chal
lenge to other candidates of the Repub
lican party on the League of Nations.
"I am here," the senator declared, "as
I have been elsewherue, to see that there
is no pussyfooting and no skulking and
no hiding by the Republican party on the
issue of the league, I am here to see
that there is embodied in our party plat
form a strong resolution of condemna
tion of the league as it stands at pres
ent." As he entered the lobby of his hotel
Johnson was assailed by- scores of his
supporters' who sought . to shake hands
with him. During the scramble he lost
his straw hat. Someone handed him a
black derby which he perched on the
back of his head. :

Senator Johnson when infprmed of re
ports emanating : from various head
quarters to . the effect that, while in
structed for Johnson, many of the dele
gates plan to bolt him and cast their
ballots for other candidates, fairly shout
ed the following answer:
"I will not even assume that there is
a man in the United . States who has
stood up before his people and gained
their approval to act In a certain man

and -deliberately go against that 'Will of

STATE ROAD JOBS
TO BE SUSPENDED
Two contracts Involving an estl
mated expenditure of half a million
dollars were .ordered suspended by
the 'state highway commission tOday
The. contracts were the paving of the
Salem-Dallas road,' held by Oskar;
Huber, ' and ' the grading of the
Crooked River road in Crook county;
held' by A. ' Guthrie. , '
The reason for . the suspension was
based on the recent decision of Circuit
Judge Skipworth in what is known-as
the Riddle case, involving the location
of the Pacific highway between Myrtle
creek and Canyonville, in- Douglas
county. Judge Skipworth held that -the
state highway commission has no au
tnorlty; to locate , new roads, which is
the : exclusive province of the county,
The commission may designate a county
road as a state highway, he ruled, but
cannot ; establish a new . road.
ADDED BY COMMISSION" .
The Crooked river and Salem-Dallas
roads, were jtot included in the system
adopted by the legislature, but have
been added by the state highway com
mission. . ' . '
The question pf the legal power of
the commission having. been raised by
the Skipworth decision, it was decided
to suspend operations on the two' roads
In question, pending : a decision by the
supreme court as to the authority of
the -commission.
The contract lor the Crooked river
road is said to be- about' 60 peri: cent
completed. The contract price was ap
proximately $200,000. The road runs
from Prineville up the' Crooked : river
to ' the Shorty Davis ranch.
On the Salem-Dallas roaov about lour
miles of pavement . has been laid, and
much of the grading finished.
SAFE BOAD DEMANDED -
In the matter of the new bridge at
Oregon. City the commission has pro
posed that If the - residents of Oregon
City will provide. ' a good, saf e , road
through town, the commission will co
operate : In the construction , of the
bridge to the - extent of two-thirds ' of
its cost, which ' is estimated at approxi
mately 340O.OCO. A further, condition is
the acknowledgment of an indebtedness
by Clackamas county of tome 3200,000
for ; money advanced by the state in
preparing the : grade : of the Pacific
highway through the county.
Further action by the , commission to
day was the decision to eliminate two
grade crossings' at lone, in Morrow
county, and the adoption' of a signing
system : for , state ' roads. The system
used In California was adopted, with
the incorporation of the Wisconsin idea
of numbering the roads.

FALLS RIVAL
Giant Waterfall Its Grandeur
- Hitherto Not Viewed by White
Men; Accidentally Brought to
Vision'. n Bull Run Reserve.
Rivaling in grandeur the the giant
cascade at "Multnomah, along the
Columbia river :. highway, a water
fall; more than 1500 feet high was
found in the depths of the Bull Run
water;' reserve by". FV M. Ran die tt,
chief engineer of ,Ae city wates bu
reau, last Thursday afternoon.
jKanaiett, accompanied oy &en xaor
row,' assistant engineer, and Glenn Mc
Intyre, foweman in the reserve, were
surveying for some new .trail work be
ing done up the Bull Run river from
the headworks toward Bull Run lake.
Working up Falls creek on the north
side of the Bull Run., and refunding a
sharp angle in the box canyon, they
came suddenly' on the beautiful falls,
which, so far as - is known, .had never'
been beheld before by white men.
1 The falls are In a box canyon, re
sembling somewhat the formation about
Multnomah. The falls descend .in. two
straight drops, each nearly 300 feet
high, and . while Multnomah's straight
drop of 610 jfeet" is higher, the new falls
are said to have greater volume
.' Just now. according to Morrow, with
the melting snow water, the ' cascades
are booming into the basin with tre
mendous fprce. ;
None of the Bull Run maps show the
presence of these falls and .'none of the
oldj timers working : in the reserve or
receding near it had ever heard of them
before. Morrow, said today.
The carefully compiled United States
geological survey maps give no indica
tion of the presence of the falls.
In 1914 Morrow Surveyed a line within
400 feet of the newly discovered cascade
Without hearing, or seeing it..

it, the ' falls are nearly on the- base
