Highway Collapse
Cause Is Studied
TILLAMOOK. xMarch 5 OP)
Engineers sought the answer to
day to a strange earth movement
whicji has resulted in the col
lapse of j sections of a surveyed
highway route between Oceanside
and Bay j Ocean.
Since the route was surveyed
five years ago, about 100 acres
of land at one. point and a half
mile stretch at another have
moved and a five-acre section be
tween the lighthouse and Ocean-
sldej on l Short beach, also has
moved.: : 1 ' .
I Engineers believe the answer
may! lie in the fact' that ocean
currents, changed by the alter
ation of the Barview jetty some
years ago, have beaten directly
upon the shoreline, washing away
the beach support of the upper
lands. Most of the soil lies on
a I rock base with poor drainage
ana j has 'thus slipped gradually
toward the ocean.

By C. A. SPRAGUE
Major political developments of

Charles H. Martin into the prose
cution of the labor "goon" cases

attorney as "advisor to the state
police" who will act as "coordina
tor' of the work of district at
torneys. Gov. Martin called in ten
district attorneys of the Willamette-Columbia
valley Saturday
and announced his decision.
This extraordinary action was
not taken on formal request ot
the district attorneys. There is ne
authority in the laws of the state
for the governor to appoint a
special attorney. The law creates
the attorney general as the state's
"law officer," charged with the
duty, on request of the governor.
to assist mstnct attorneys or take
charge of prosecutions. Gov. Mar
tin, however, made no request of
the attorney general to take ever
this work-or to designate an as
sistant to handle It.
Offers to Pay Moody ,
From Special. Fund
Last. Tuesday Gov. Martin
called In Attorney General Van
Winkle and asked him . to give a
leave of absence to R a 1 p K.
Moody, one ot , his assistants, to
undertake the assignment the
governor outlined to district at
torneys yesterday.-; Got. Martin
stated that he would want him for
several ; months and -would pay
htm: out of his special "fond for
investigation, t'ts special .,. task
would be to visit counties where
goon cases are up and. see that
indictments were properly drawn.
Van Winkle declined to grant the
leave of absence, stating that he
could not release one of his as
sistants who would remain nom
inally a member of his staff and
still he would have no authority
over him. He said his office would
be held responsible and he could
not assume that under such an
arrangement If an assistant
wanted to resign and take the
job, he could do so, Van Winkle
told the governor, but would be
out of his position in his office.
. While Gov. Martin, who went
to Portland yesterday afternoon,
declined to discuss his negotia
tions with the attorney general,
rumors were abroad that he dis
liked the way Van Winkle's
office had "handled the Clatsop
county riot cases where accused
were let off on parole on their
plea of guilty. There was the ad
ditional report that accused Van
Winkle of courting labor support
in a possible race for supreme
justice against Hall S. Lusk and
so being unwilling to assign a
man to the present labor trials.
