POUNDED 1851 EIGHTIETH TEAR Salea, Oregon, Saturday Morning, April 26, 1930 NtV AGITATION FOR sura ROAD FOUND no Deschutes County Engineer Gives Views on Cascade Route Situation Requested Approval Believed Forthcoming Within Next Two Year Period Marion county baa no need to feel eithefi discouraged or ag grieved over failure of the state highway commission recently to give its approval to the North Santlam highway project. It was declared, here Friday by Robert B. Gould, county engineerVf De schutes county, who is closely in touch with highway matters af fecting the midstate region into which the road under discussion will extend. The highway commission, said Mr. Gould, declined to approve the North Santiam route sole ly because approval is not being given at this time to any new highways not already included in the state system. It is denying all such petitions because if one is granted, a flodd of petitions will descend upon it from all parts of the state. Completion of System In Two Years Predicted I Within less than two years, Mr Gould predicted, the highway sys tem as laid out in 1917 will be completed, and at that time some new designations will be made. He Is confident that the North Santiam will be one of the first. although he points out that in various portions of the state there are other routes meriting consld eration equally with, this one. "What Marion-county must do in order to insure recognition of this route and eventual coopera tion from the bureau of forest Toads, is to keep busy on it," said Mr. Gould. "The county should build as much as It can of its road at this end, make a big noise about it, keep the idea before the public and both the state and fed eral highway authorities, and when the proper time comes, it will be impossible for them to turn it down." Large Section of Road Planned This Season The section of highway from Bisters to Suttle lake, which is common to both the North and South Santiam routes. Is being built bv the bureau of forest roads this year, Mr. Gould said. Albany and Linn county have obtained such cooperation as has been given their route, through lnst such a program as Mr. Gould recommends for Marion county, he mentioned. They have gone ahead with construction and kept the matter constantly before the highway authorities. Federal road authorities have already indicated by their ac tions with respect to the South Santiam that they consider it less feasible than the North Santiam and with this advantage, Marion county may reasonably expect to succeed in its program, he added Mr. Gould was pleased to hear that the Marion county court Is already planning to proceed with a call for bids on the portion of the North Santiam route within Its borders as far as Niagara, at an estimated cost of approximate ly $140,000. The court has de clared relocation of the road be tween Mill City and Niagara to conform to a survey made by state highway engineers, and plana to call for bids this year if Tight of way matters can be ar ranged satisfactorily.

Rover to place legal pressure upon the laggards. The district attorney's office prepared a form warning which will serve as a final notice to all who "refuse or wilfully neglect to answer census queries" that un less their replies are immediate ly forthcoming they will be suo ject to fine and imprisonment under the census act. A second form warning tells of a $500 pen alty provided for hotel and apart ment house owners who refuse to give information. Director Stewart explained that the chief trouble In swinging the larrely finished task on to a speedy close lies, not with the 11 literate who refuse to answer questions, but with well to do ho tel and apartment house dwellers who are never at home, and who neglect to fill out the forms left for them. "Sometimes an enumerator makes as many as 20 trips to one apartment, the census director said." The family are all working in the daytime, and all at the movies at; night.''

Peshawar is far up on the northwestern frontier, command ind the entrance to the famous Khyder pass. The hills around U are the home of the most danger ous Indian tribes, chief among them being the Afrldis and Meb mands, who are born fighting men. They are well armed and are a perpetual embarrassment to the British. These tribes have no direct con nection with the civil disobedience movement of Gandhi but they have always been ready to take advantage of any difficulties fee ing the British. Thus the fear here is that the whole frontier may blaze possibly in the Af ghan Bide as well as the British and Peshawar mar be threatened. Censorship Arouses Much Apprehension No definite news was received from Peshawar today but censor ship is understood to be in opera tion and developments are await ed with considerable anxiety by Europeans. As another feature of the news disturbing to officials, .no trace has been found of the survivors of the Insurgents who attacked an arsenal at Chittagong Saturday. A few of the insurgents have been killed or wounded but the others are eluding pursuers In the hills.

Addressing a group of salt volunteers today at Panar, the leader attacked treat ment by the police. "Police are not empowered to beat you even under the salt act. he said. "They can take posses sion of the salt but not by beatmg you. Although I sm a barrister. my knowledge of law Las become rusty, but still I could secure the release of every one of those ar rested if I were to plead in a court of law." One of the latest acts of Gand hi has been to send five specially chosen volunteers to Karachi to replace civil disobedience leaders who have been Imprisoned there. KLAIISW 0 HE.
