One of the most Important and far-reaching of the rwn decisions ty the board is that wncenilng the part of the county In co-operative work with the state. It k nel4 that in cases such as that in Josephine county, the county will be obliged only to bring the highway to frailer aud to drain It. The base for the bxard pavement will not be con tldered a part of the preliminary fork which the county must do be fore St demands the paving from the rUte. ' "but this will ibe considered as part of the pavement proper. Un der tblt ruling, as soon as Josephine and TVmglas counties have brought their portions of the Pacific high way to grade, the state will be re 4nlred to "Immediately" proceed to pare It. The Josephine county court las ail ready stated that the grading wool 4 proceed forthwith and so be ready for the paving which the state will lay if the bond Issue is voted as aoonc as the funda are available. DoDKlas county sent a delegation to Salewm Wednesday to confer with the ' boarI and to assure It that Douglas was ready to match the state's money dollaar for dollar In building the Pact -lie highway through that conn tjr. It Is evident that the voting of the Ixinda will be followed at once by pared roads all through southern Oregon. San Francisco, April 15. That U boat are operating, or about to op erate in the Pacific, was the warn ing flashed to all vessels at sea to day by the naval radio stations on the Pacific coast, following the re ceipt of a warning to that effect from the navy department at Washington. This message, sent out by Captain GUmer, of the Twelfth naval dis trict, roused San Franciscans to the new menace aa they have never been roused since the European war be. gan. "To All Steamship Companies: The following message received from the navy department la herewith quoted for your information: " 'Get hi touch at the earliest pos sible moment with captain and mas ters of all merchant vessels operat-lna- In your district, especially off the coast and at sea, and urge upon them the necessity of keeping a very bright lookout for German submarines and of reporting same Immediately v radio to the nearest radio station. Urge upon them the necessity of giv ing as much detailed information of locality where submarines are seen and any other data that will be or value to the naval forces In search ing for these vessels. Information has this day been received that submar ines are operating In the Pacific Please notify all ships and ask that they spread the news broadcast.' " Just how definite Is the Informa tion on which the department based the warning Is not known here, nor Is any information available here as to the location of the operating base or of the reported submarines. For some months rumors, of a more or less vague nature, have been circulating on the Pacific coast re garding the presence of U boats, but none of these, when run down, has revealed any definite Information. One report circulated today, but which could, not be confirmed from any source, was that a secret base had been discovered In an isolated dis trict along the west Mexican coast. Officers of the Pacific Mall steamer NewDort. which arrived here several days ago, expressed the belief that, if the report of submarine opera tions proves true, it will be found that some point along the Isthmus of Tehuanteec Is the base. These of ficers said they heard reports that submarines, In parts, had been sec retly shipped by rail across th isth mus to the vicinity of Sallna Cruz. They were not able to confirm these stories. It Is stated that navy department U BILL COMING EARLY NEXT WEEK Washington, April 12.

Underwood, ex-presldent of the Oregon Credit Men s associa tion, and a member of the national asaoclatlon, will be here to speak to the merchants on the subject "Trade Acceulances." Thla departure In credit business, being Introduced throughout the country through the suggestion and urglug of the Nation al Reserve banks, means much to the business man who expects to keep abreast of rapidly changing methods.
