PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 9.
(Special to the Register.) So suc
cessful has been the policy of oil
ing macadam highways in eastern
Oregon and -on the Mount Hood
loop, that the highway commis
sion today announced that it would
have nearly three times us many
miles under oil In 1926 as there
were in 1,925. The oiling, in addi
tion to giving a good surface
practically amounts to mainten
ance. -
The oil will be spread as fol
lows: All of tho old Oregon trail,
whero there Is no hard surface
pavement; Wlllamtna to Hebo, To
ledo to Newport, Biggs to Wasco,
Coquille to Myrtle Point, Mount
Hood loop, Medford trail, Lava
Butte to Laplne, Bend-Redmond
and Prineville, Suefdrt to Dufur,
Klamath. Falls to Keno, Klamath
Falls to Modoc Point, Island City
io Elgin.
Only $500,000 Left
A glimpso of the financial sheet
of the highway commission dis
closes that there remains available
for new construction only $500,
000. It should be borne In mind,
however, that there Is a large
amount of construction now under
contract, which will keep the work
moving throughout the coming
year.
Lack of sufficient funds pre
vents the commission from starting
a number of projects which re
quire heavy financing.
One of these enterprises Is the
Lowell-Oakridge section of the
Willametto h.ghway, which Lane
county officials have been striv
ing In vain to have started. The
county has $256,000 of bond money
and enough other money available
to contribute $300,000 onr the
An estimate submitted from the
United States bureau of public
roaus snows mat tne cost of the
section amounts to $890,000. The
Highway commission had supposed
the cost would be approximately
$400,000 or $500,000 and the com
missioners threw up their hands
when they studied the federal es
timates.
Throe Jobs Advertised
After a careful survey of the
projects which should be advanced
-o complete gaps, the commission
decided to advertise three Jobs for
the next meeting, January 19,

north of Klrby; 10 miles of sur

between Cannon Beach and Ham

tne sueiz river.
A suggestion was made to limit
truck loads on all the paved high
ways leading out from Portland
but after debating the pros and
cons for an hour tho commission
decided to shelve tho problem for
the time being.
Land Donation Promised
Tho Oregon trunk informed the
commission it would donate four
acres where tho Crooked river
bridge crosses. Adjoining these
four acres, C. W. Wanzer, division
engineer of the department, has 40
acres which ho will turn over to

major's plea and other references
to the book's authorship, he ar

Major Gullion's declaration that

irom Mr. Keid who-said, referring
to opposing counsel, ' that a "fool

As soon as the court announced
its decision to throw out all men

PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 9. The
statement that wood alcohol and
fusel oil are not so deadly to drink

the opinion that Shoeship had not
drunk enough poison moonshine.
If any, to cause him to have fallen
