The program was in observance of the eighth anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the world war, April 0, 1917.

Among the road projects undertaken will be further extension nf the South Turk road be gun Inst year, completion of work on liouldcr tirade nnd Crowbar I'oint on the Willamette highway, and improve ment on the Willamette highway near the summit.

The primary purpose of the for est's road construction, nccordiug tn Mr. Mniduff, is to give access to forest to find and f;ght fires. The trails give access to old burns and other dangerous areas. Although the roads are not built for recreational purposes, they are frequently used for that purpose. The forest service has the right, however, to restrict travel other than for official business, when necessity demands it. Tt -sd work in the national forest area is limited to 0 feet for roads, slid to 12 feet in some cases. Frequently grades must be made as high as 10 per cent if it will mnteriolly reduce the tost.

'5W. l LI Denied AGE75 YEARS Alexander Christie Passes After Week's Illness In Portland Succeeded to Archdiocese Of Oregon City in The Year 1899 PORTLAND, Ore., April 6. W) Archbishop Alexander Christie, of the Catholic archdiocese of Oregon City, died at a hospital hero this afternoon. Archbishop Christie, who was 75 years of age, had been In a critical condition at a hospital here for more than a week. A few days ago an Im provement was reported, which, con ttnued until today, when a sudden turn for the worse occurred. Archbishop Christie presided over the archdiocese of Oregon City, which includes all of Oregon west of AVaaco and Klamath counties. He also exer cised an over-lordship over the Cath olic church sees of the Pacific north west ''.- ..: Noted School Worker. Archbishop Alexander Christie was noted for his work In the development of his archdiocese, particularly in the construction of schools and religious institutions. "Tho Catholic History of Oregon," written by Rev. K. V. O'Hnra of Eu gene, refers to the archbishop's work as n builder as follows: 'A few days after his installation the archbishop laid the cornerstone for the handsome new monastery of the Rcncdictlne fathers at Mount An gel. The event was to be typical of his work In the northwest, for bia time will be known as the building epoch of the archdiocese." It waa snid of Archbishop Christie thnt he built schools before churches, nnd one of his cherished aims was the development of a church school sys tem with a Catholic college like thnt of Notre Dame aa its apex. It wn in the hope of fulfilling this vision that the old Portland university wns bought from the Methodist in 1001, nnd renamed Columbia university. Formation of the Catholic educational association under the direction some years ago was annhier evidence of hh interest In the school work of the church. Advanced In 1899. Archbishop Christie succeeded Archbishop W. II. Gross In 1800, about six months after the death of the latter. Lena than a yenr previous he wns consecrnted by Archbishop Ireland in the 5ft.

M. de Monzie Looms aa Winner in Battle Ove Financial Policy y Speculation Rife on Possible Selection of New Cabinet , Next Week PARIS, April 6. UP) Tta lobblei of the chamber of depntlee and aen 1 ate were crowded thfa afternoon with members of parliament and others active In the rarlous political troops, i moat of whom, forecasting the fall of the Herrlot ministry already were speculating in the composition of the i next cabinet. Meanwhile the cabinet ministers were deliberating on the reported differences on policy be tween Premier Herrlot and M. da Monzie. his new minister of finance. De Monzie Gains M, da Monzie, who come into the limelight as successor to Btlenne Clementel aa finance minister, has suddenly acquired a preatige that makes him the lender In the possible race for the premiership. In the senate lobbies the fnll of the cnblnot next week was taken for granted.

Premier llerriot whs now nt trips with difficulties thnt seemed almost Insurmountable. Botwoon Two Fires In the senate it wus pointed out that the premier will find hiiuBelf' be tween two flres on the one hand the cnemiea of the capital, levy and In flation and on the other the advor aarJea of French representation at the Vatican. M. de Monzie by disarm ing somewhat the opposition of the Catholics in the chamber by hia advo cacy of compromise on the Vatican proposition fcas brought to the gov ernment the antagonism of a part of lta forcea In the senate which refused to accept any compromise. Predic tions In political circles ore that in any case the Issue will be concluded before the end of next week. - i EG AN GRANTED BILLS INTRODUCED I PARTS, April 6. 0P Bills pro-tj riding for an increase in the bank note circulation amounting to four j billion francs and for a voluntary 10 per cent contribution by capital, j were presented to the cabinet today by M. de Monzie, the new finance) minister.
