ROAD BUILDING TO

WA'S 1 1 1 X O TO N , April 2. Morn
than ISOO.OOO uncmployod will flml
work during (he next year on road
building projects, it states and coun
ties push project! already approved
and congress makes an additional ap
propriation of $100,000,000 as federal
nld in highway improvement, officials
of the department of agriculture es
timated today.
The grand total cost of road build
ing projects that have been approved
and are awaiting completion is ?G22,
000,000. In other words this amount
may bo spent during the next year if
the work is pushed. This includes
nmountB allotted by the federal gov
ernment, tho states, counties and cit
ies. Estimating that CO percent of
the cost of road building Is a labor
charge, II. D. Falrbank, editor of tho
department of agriculture's road mag
azino, pointed out that this would
make approximately $375,000,000 avail
able for hiring unemployed men. This
amount, he estimated, would provide
employment for 300,000 men the great
er part of tho yoar.
Between 20,000 nnd 25,000 miles of
road can bo built if nil tho money Is
expended.
A I li st class hard surfaced high
way can now bo built for less than
30,000 a mile. Many have discontinu
ed work until tho cost has dropped bo
low tho $30,000 mark.

SEATTLE, April 2 With the num
her of lost placed at 10, additional
Inquiry today is being conducted in
to the collision early yesterday that
resulted in the sinking of the steam
ship Governor by tho freighter West
Ilartland.
Blame for the disaster may be
determined today by federal officials
who are conducting a separate in
quiry. The inquiry which Captain Donald
S. Ames and Captain Harry S. Lord,
local United States steamboat in
spectors started shortly after the
West Hnrtland limped into port yes
terday morning, bringing '231 surviv
ors of tho catstrophe, was to be feat
ured today by testimony of officers
and crow of both vessels.
How the freighter rammed the
passenger liner off Point Wilson and
sent tho vessel beneuth 40 fathoms
of water is being told behind closed
doors to tho two inspectors, sitting
as a maritime grand Jury.
Assistant United States District
Attorney F. C. Rengin, representing
tho government, listened to the testi
mony last night of officers on watch
when the disaster occurred, but ask
ed no questions. When tho Inquiry
adjourned it was expected that Rea
gan would tako a hand in the mat
tor this morning.
Captain Harry Martin, who piloted
tho Governor when she was struck,
Is almost unanimously accredited by
survivors as Baying that he mistook
the must lights of tho West Hartland
for shore lights. Some said that
Martin probably discovered his mis
ake but failed to estimate the freight
er's spocd correctly.
The Govornor, valued at $1,500,000
will bo replaced on the Snn Fran
cisco Pugot Sound run by the Ad
miral liner Queen.
"Don't put your eggs all In one basket" is the lesson which falling
crop prices have taught agriculturists in southern states, say Texas
farmers and one that might well be observed In every state in the Union.
Many southern states have "stayed with cotton" through fat and lean
years alike always at a big sacrifice in the end. But as these pictures
show 'midst the cabbages and palms Texans at least are mixing their
crops but the point is southern so:l will grow most anything if the
tillers will give it tho opportunity.

round up five armod Blng Kong gun
men, thought to bo In tho city.
The gunmen nro said to have ar
rived from San Francisco, evading
wnltlng guards at depots. Thoy were
last reported on tho train at Rose
burg, bound north.
The Blng Kong Bow Leong tong, In
n letter to a Portland newspaper,
promised the public that there would
drastic action when it was forced by
the radical element.
The public looks forward with
some fear to the meeting next week
of the railway and transport work
ers. They believe that the great mass
of British worwmen, all trades, are im
bued with the thought' that labot Is
confronted with a general reduction
of wages and that labor will accept
-Main 01 tf I the challenge of the employers.
If, therefore, the triplo alliance,,
supports the miners, England may
look forwird to tho most desperate
labor war in its history and one
which will end either in destruction
of the unions or something approxi
mating nationalization of Industry.
Political as well ns economic ques
tions ontor deeply into the coming
struggle. Some officials predict hat
the strike will result in a general
election within a bIipi-I time.
The king's decreet permits the wid
est powers to tho premier, making
Lloyd-George virtually a dictator,
even though the more extreme
measures to be taken are subject
to a review by parliament, which
must convene within five days In or
der to approve them.
It is stated that the government,
has determined to refuse non-employ-

mcnt pay to all strikers, even those
obviously affected by the lockout
previously planned by the mine own
ers, for the whole movement is char
acterized as distinctly a strike and
not technical "non-employment."
At present Wales and Scotland,
centers of communist spirit, are be
ing watched closely, and tho gov
ernment has prepared the most dras
tic measures to protect property in
tho case of an emergency.
General sentiment is well summed
up by a high official with whom
I talked today. He said:
"The strike will kill itself as well
as scuttle the miners' federation.
J. H. Thomas may save the railway
federation and If a general election
is precipitated, Lloyd-George will be
returned by the greatest majority
in the premier's career. Lloyd-George
is an opportunist. Ho will grasp at
this chance."
