NEW PART OF
COAST ROUTE
NOWJPENED
Last week saw opened for travel
for the first time a portion, of the
Roosevelt coast highway between
Waldport and Yachats, Lincoln
county, a distance of 8.8 miles.
Heretofore It has been necessary to
use the beach for travel along this
part of the route.
The grading of this stretch was
begun in June, 1929, the contract
having been awarded Edlefsen and
Wygant, Portland, for (127,000. In
volved in the contract was the
grading and construction of bridges
for a mile and a half of railroad
owned by the Spruce Production
corporation, it being necessary to
relay the track that distance in or
der to get the best location for the
highway and eliminate two grade
crossings.
Immediately south of Waldport,
to avoid heavy construction, the
highway was located at the foot of
high cliffs and a seawall 1500 feet
long was constructed for pedestrians.
An additional expenditure of
$166,000 is being made on this unit
under a contract let In June, this
year, also to Edlefsen and Wygant,
for the surfacing of the road. This
will proceed during the fall months
It was said at the state highway of
fice and be completed during the
summer of 1931. This contract In
cludes some work In addition to that
on the 8 8 mile stretch, this being
the surfacing of the Alsea highway
through Waldport and a mile to Jhe
east and also surfacing south of
Yachats to the Lane county line,
distance of three miles.
The grading of the three mile
unit between Yachats and the Lane
county line Includes some very
heavy construction work around the
clilfs of Cape Perpetua. This Is un
der contract to Wrenn and Oreen-
ough at $163,000 and will be com
pleted by the end of the year. The
scenery on this route is spectacular,
giving a view of the rockbound
coast for many miles in each dlrec
tion.
North of Waldport, between Al
sea and Yaquina Bay, is a IS mile
section of the Roosevelt highway
that has been graded but not sur
faced. The roadbed, however. Is
very sandy and It will be necessary
to use the beach until it Is surfacd.
This Is a cooperative forest project
and the contract has been let by the
federal bureau of public roads. IH
wul not be completed until the sum
mer of 1931.

this week representing a nop yard
scene, the trellis, and vines, hop
houses, all the appurtenances and
apparatus that go to make up the
equipment for a first class yard.
Baby dolls are used for yard hands
and pickers, box-fulls of hops and
sacks strewn on the ground make
the scene very realistic. It is at
tracting considerable comment by
8tectators. Bob Craven was the
artist.

CROOK DRAMA AT
BLIGH'S CAPITOL
"Those Who Dance," high-ten -
sioned crook drama featuring Monte
Blue, and Llla Lee, is the current
attraction at Bligh'a Capitol and
plays to Saturday.
Monte Blue's ability to don un
usual makeups la made full use of
in this story of a policeman's search
for the murderer of his younger
brother, a search that takes him,
disguised as a gangster, into the
very household of the man he is
trying to "get."
In order to get evidence on the
murderer, he poses as the sweet
heart of the heroine, who lives in
the crook's house. She abets him
in this because success will free her
brother from the death house.
And what a punch when the two
bashful but determined people have
to make love to each otner, and
at night retire to the same bed
room, where they are spied upon
by the crook. Romance, comedy
and danger here culminate in a
big smashing finish.
Both Blue and Miss Lee agree
that "Those Who Dance" marks a
highlight in their respective screen
careers. Several very fine Vita-
phone acts will complete tnls bill
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

VON HINDENBURG
NOT CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION
Berlin (IP) Although President
Paul von Hlndenburg at 82 Is till
enjoying the burly health of a rug
ged soldier, he has made known to
his clow friends that he will not
run for a second presidential term
when his present tenure of office
expires on April 1, 1932, had spec
ulation Is already rife as to his pos
sible successor. The possibility of
Hlndenburg'seath, Imminent in the
case of any mortal at this age, has
led .leading German politicians to
envisage the alternative of a presi
dential election of 1832.
It te mooted In very authoratlve
quarters that Hlndenburg, either in
a written political testament c? In
a verbal expression of his will, has
privately designated the man whom
he desires chosen as next presi
dent of the German republic, and
the name mentioned in this con
nection, Carl Wilhelm Petersen, is
one which few Germans, even well
informed ones, would guess. Peter
sen, 62, president of the municipal
senate of Hamburg, is credited
with responsibility for one of the
most successful local administra
tions in the country. But the sur
prising fact about this report la
that a man of Hlndenburg's nation
alist leanings and strongly conser
vative trend of mind should select
a politician of democratic and lib
eral color as his preferred succes
sor. The ultimate choice of the next
president, of course, will be made
by the German people at the polls.
But any candidate at that election,
running with the force of Hlnden
burg's prestige behind him, will un
doubtedly enjoy Increased pros
pects of success.
Another candidate tor the presi
dential chair, for whom a potent
campaign is now being conducted
behind the political scenes, Is Wil
helm Cuno, S4, chancellor of the
Reich in 1922, during whose gov
ernment the French Invaded the
Ruhr Cuno, president of the board
of directors of the Hamburg-American
line, left the chancellorship
seven years ago in a cloud of un
popularity, largely due to his failure
to terminate the wave of currency
inflation, which brought financial
ruin to millions of Germans, and be
cause of the immense cost to Ger
many of the "passive resistance"
against the French Ruhr occupa
tion. However, with the backing of
Important political and industrial
as well as banking quarters, Cuno
is likely to become a serious con
tender for the occupancy of the
German White House.
The third likely candidate Is Dr.
Walther Simons, 69, who acted as
Interim president of the republic
between the death of the first pres
ident, Frledrich Ebert, in 1925, and
the entry of Hlndenberg into office.
General Wilhlem Greener, pres
ent minister of defence and known
to be close to Hlndenburg, Is still
"in the running," but his diabetic
ailment makes his continued poli
tlcal activity appear dubious.

OFFICIALS DENY
HOSS' FIGURES,
STATE DEFICIT
A recent report of Hal B. Hoss,
secretary of state, announcing an
Impending "most precarious posi
tion" of the state treasury is large
ly discounted by other state officials.
Hoss statements were to the ef
fect if the Intangibles and excise
taxes were declared constitutional
the treasury deficit of $3,337,347.86
will be reduced to 2. 437,341.86.
Thomas B. Kay, state treasurer,
and Earl L. Fisher, chairman of the
state tax commission, said they
were unable to account for Hoss'
statements or to discover how he
had arrived at such a figure.
It was said that Hoss either fail
ed to Include the taxes collected
during the second half of tUe year,
or he figured that all the appro
priations made to various depart
ments would be expended while
sums are frequently turned back
Into the general fund, or that he
failed to Include other receipts
In the face of Hoss' statement
that Oregon faced a deficit of
$3,337,347.86 at the close of busi
ness on Juno 30, 1930, it was stated
that Oregon has never had nn
actual deficit of more than $2,
000.000 at the very most.
