Washington, Dec. 18. An ap propnatlon of $32,800,000 for construction of forest roads and trails and rural post roads as au thorized under the federal high' way act Is recommended In me agricultural bill for the next fis cal year as reported today to the house ot commons. The bill's total is 868,781,653, or about $21,000,000 more than last year ad $250,000 less than the budget estimate. The increase Is due to the more liberal road fund provision, which last year was $10,000,000. The budget bureau left out the annual Item of $360,000 for free seed distribution by senators and representatives and it was not placed )n the bill by the appropria tions committee. Some of the items in the measure are: For frost warning service, $12, 000; eradicating hog cholera, $181,500; emergencies in fighting forest Insects, $250,000; prevent ing spread ot moths, $351,000; preventing spread of European cormfjorer, $200,000; checking the i)adf of the Mexican bettle $250,000; studying food habits of birds and animals, $502,240; mar ket Inspection of perishable foods, $275,000; extermination ot pota to wart, $5000; and eradication of the nink boll worm of cotton; $411,400. The fund for the corest service was fixed at $6,583,582 which Is $21,000 more than carried in the last bill. "Xo special class should be bur dened with keeping up the public "niotiwnva." declared Fred A. Wil- Hams, former public service com missioner, In an address before the Chamber of Commerce. "The high ways belong to the people nnd should be kept up by the people," Mr. Wil liam now represents the Automobile Carriers association of Oregon. The automobile, trucks and stages were the only means by winch the 16,000,000 acres of uncultivated land in Orfgon could find proper trans portation, Mr. Williams eava, anu for this reason, nothing should be done to hamper the development of atflom and truck companies in the - state. To have stability on the highways, Mr. Williams thought that stages and trucks tbould be given prior rights, as this would also tend to the geaeral safety of the travelling public. The . stage has come to stay, he said, and a great part of the trav elling public is travelling by stage in ordr to better see the scenery, and especially to get in and out of citie by the finest residence dis tricts, instead of through, "back al leys and back ways, as travelled by the railroads. As to safety, Mr. Williams said the public was in gencril rather misinformed. The facts are, he said that more than 1,000,000 passengers were earried by stages the paxt year with not one serious accident. GREEK STEAMER DISABLED WHILE IN MiD OCEAN Boston, Oct. 18.

L Unless the Scott high school foot ball team of Toledo, Ohio, now tour ing the west, will take upon itself the responsibility of selecting the Oregon high school squad against which it desires to play on New 5fears day, the prospects are that no Oregon team will be permitted to go up against the invaders from the east. Itivalry between Corvullis and Mcdford has become so bitter for the chance to meet the easterners on the gridiron two weck from to day that officials of the state ath letic association who have been ap pealed to for decision between the rivals are loth to interfere. J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of schools, who was appealed -to by W. J. Mishler, superintendent of schools at Grants Pa! ss secretary of the board of control of the state high school athletic association, has suggested that the choice of compet itors be left with the visitors. Both teams, it is understood here, have complied with the financial requirements for the match which covered the raising of a fund of $4000. Corvallis, however, it is said best the southern Oregon team to the tape with its fund and, it is understood that the Ohiotns have agreed to take on the team from the college town. Medford, oa the other hand, is counting strong on meeting the invaders and has em ployed Coach Shy Huntington of the University of Oregon to prepare the squad for the New Year's game. Atlanta, Ga.
