Public Service Commission, De-
tnpite Lack of Jurisdiction,
' I Acts in PolkCounty Matter.
,
Balem, Oct. !. In a letter dl
; reeled to official o the Willamlna
ft Grand Roads Railway company,
Fred G. Buchtel, chairman of the
: 'public service commission, orders
that Immediate steps be taken to
.r make that portion of the Polk coun-
',' ty highway appropriated by the ralK
t road company passable to vehicular
traffic.
fe ' Construction work carried on by the
' railroad along about 4000 feet of the
. road between "Willamlna and Grande
i. Ronde. It la stated. has rendered the
highway almost If not entirely lmpaaa
r able. A detour provided for the use of
vehicular traffic has alM been rendered
Impassable because of heavy rains un-
tit there Is practically no available artery
for traffic between points In Tillamook
county and the Willamette valley. The
public service commission has been
flooded ' with complaints from people
who have occasion to make overland
trips into that section.
; Appropriation of the hlrhwy for use
as a railroad riabt of way was done
through an agreement with the Polk
'county court and, so long as both the
county authorities and the railroad are
In agreement on the matter, the public
"-, service commission lacks jurisdiction.
"Irrespective of the jurisdictional ques-
tlon." Buchtel writes, "we insist that
Such prompt action be taken, as will
; permit a continued and- uninterrupted
flow of vehicular traffic over this biga-
way between coast and valley points."
'It la expected that the 10,000 acres of
.-'land in the Harney valley, which the
i Pacific Livestock company Is required
to sell under the terms of the compro
- mlse made with the state several months
Co, will be placed on the market within
. a few weeks, probably early in Novem
't ber. John Bless, ' appraiser for the
: state land board. And Manager Olson
t of the company are expected to appear
' before the land board October 28 in a
, conference aa to the valuation to be
placed on this land.
Under the terms of the compromise,
i following- an extended Investigation into
alleged fraud In connection' with the
v. acquisition of land held by the company, j
the state received a payment of $125,000
n. and the company agreed to place appro-
prlately 10,000 acres of the land on the
', market at a price to be agreed upon be
tween the company and the state land
board. Biggs was selected by former At-
tomey Oeneral Brown to represent the
State in appraising the land.
Governor Olcott's poeltlontn refusing
to extend executive clemency to Nell
Hart, Jack Rathle and Jim Owen, con
victed layers of Sheriff Til Taylor, is
Indorsed by fully 99 per cent of the pop

Journal, Portland, gave an interesting
address here Friday night, discussing
the proposed market commission bill. In

fact that the great need of Oregon
today Is organisation, cooperation and
systematic marketing. In analysing the
provisions of the measure and Its pos
sibilities in practice, be made extensive
use of statistics from the work of Cali
fornia associations, which have profited
by the service of a market director.
He said California peach growers have
Increased the value of their lands 100
per cent, while the fruit has been ad
vanced In the market from ZM cents
to 11 cents a pound. Ha expressed the
conviction that the Oregon growers
could accomplish the same results by
the use of systematic methods.

acterised it as one of the most vicious
pieces of legislation aver proposed to
the voters of Oregon.

SGENIC
EFFECTS
OF MS PLAN
Creation of Bureau of Highway
Commission Proposed; Governor
Is to Outline Legal Program.
Preservation of forest trees and
other scenic effects along Oregon
highways was recommended to Gov
ernor Ben Olcott by the governor's
scenic highway committee at a meet
ing held In District Forester 3eorre
fbecll'a office Saturday. -The pro
gram Included creation of a new bu
reau in the public highway commis
sion, employing a trained forester
and backed by public sentiment to
work in cooperation with the lumber
companies.
That the state should not attempt to
acquire strips of timber along roadsides
by purchase, but should induce timber
owners to make gifts of trips or ot
campsites, was the sentiment expressed.
Present at the meeting called to com
pare differences in the recommendation
of the general committee and that sent
I to investigate the Seaside-Cannon Beach
I road, besides Chairman W. B. Ayer, L.
A. Lewis and E.- N. Hurd of Seaside,

college and C 8. Chapman of the West

concerned in the, Seaside-Cannon Beach
project, and W. B. Dennis of Carlton,
Mrs, Kinney and Rabbi Jonah B. Wise,
the two other members of the committee,
were absent
YIBWrOUTS DIFFEB
While the general committee advised
against the purchase of trees by the
state, the special committee, composed
ot Cecil, Chapman and Elliott, who In
vestigated the Seaside-Cannon Beach
project, recommendsd that the state pur
chase in places wide enough strips along
the roadside to prevent the timber from
wind falling. It reported' that the align
ment might have to be changed later,
sines present grades run up to t , psr
cent and the road is narrow and dan
gerous. .
Ws have to appeal to the civic pride
of the timber., owners," said Governor
Olcott "The Crown-Willamette people
are, responding In fine shape. They have
ceased operations where I have asked
them, but are continuing operations
along the Necanlcum part of the high
way." )
"It would be wiser for the ' Umber
owner to make concessions within rea
son and let the state hold it" said Ayer,
"rather than for the stats to attempt to
exercise any latent right I believe the
timber owner, within reason and under
proper guidance of the state, will be
willing to make sacrifices necessary to
preserve the timber." '
Ayer said until the state had passed
some law putting the land under proper
supervision, the timber owners would
not give It but If a board is created with
terlalailva sah eanahla of davelonlns?
the strips or -campsites, he believed they
wouio, o so. -- ' ; .
CIY1C PRIDE FXK8T 1- ".
Dennis proposed that theVhole matter
ds nsnaraa uuvusu m.n vnim wu
league to be made up of eivto bodies and
individual He believed the appeal
should be to civic pride and that if the
matter wars handlesV through a state
board It would not meet with the same
response. :- ::;fu . :q, ,f f,f.
Dennis was not supported by others
present who believed that work should
be concentrated In a smaller body which
would have public backing. That public
sentiment was against (he creation of
any more commissions, that the preser
vation of highway scenery might well
corns under the duties of the stats high
way commission ibid that a board with
a trained t oreatsr Anight be created aa a
part of this commission to handle the
scenic, highway problem met with fen
eral approval. 1
Governor Olcott said at the close of
the meeting he would take all the sug
gestions under advisement and formu
late from them a recommendation to the
legislature.
Preceding the scenlo highway meet
ing of the stats board-of forestry at
which a state forest policy with regard
to the perpetuation of Oregon'a timber
resources was discussed. Jio sction was
taken, however, and a state policy will
not be finally adopted until the next
meeting about three weeks hence.
