Just as soon as tho weather will permit, work will start at tho Klamath Falls end of tho highway, whllo as far as our own section Is concerned, tho commission Is ready to mnko surveys and estimates In hero Just as soon as a request for this action is made by tho county." Tho Dcnd delegates woro advised that it would bo well for tho counties along the route of the highway to dotermlno Just how much money could bo spent In co-operation with tho state. Because of other road projects In tho stnto which aro al ready well under way, and becauso of limitations as to equipment, the commission will not bo ablo to work straight through to a finish after onca starting tho north and south trunk road, but will, instead, pick out tho worst places along tho route for immediate MmpTovcment, -nnd from thorn, working as tlmo and op portunity permit, will eventually complete tho entlro highway, tho local representatives learned. Information of a most encourag ing naturo was given in private con ference following tho general meet ing, but tho exact details aro not be ing given out.

OREGON'S LOSS NOW REALIZED GREATNESS OF LEADER EXTOLLED. Ability am Servant of People, Loyalty a Friend and Wonderful Homo IJfo of La to Governor Win Comment. (SpcUl Ut th DalUttn.) SALEM, March 13. Governor Withy combo is gono. With a lost kind word to a friend, typical of tka man, Oregon's war govornor closed bis eyes In eternal sleep and one of tho most Interesting chapters of tho state's political annals closed with them. To ono who know him well and Intimately through a number of years the loss camo as a peculiarly sharp blow. While it was known that the executive was In Ill-health and he could bo seen to visibly fado under neath the Increasing duties of office, tho cares of state and tho poignant griefs ho felt when his youngest soldier son was battling for life in an eastern hospital, nevertheless his death camo unexpectedly, as tho thief In tho night. It Is tho Irony of human life that only death can open tho eyes of mor tals to the greatness of a fellow mor tal. James Wlthycorobo will bo re membered In history for his record as a war governor. Ho will be re mombercd by his intimate friends for his wholesomo honesty and in tegrity of purpose; for tho sweet ness of his family life; for his sim plicity, yet withal his groatness of character, and for his loyalty to his friends. To better example of loy alty in Oregon political life was ever shown by anyone than that displayed by Governor Wlthycombo toward Joo Keller, parole officer at tho peniten tiary. When It seemed ns though uvery hand - la5 the "stato had --been lifted to striko Keller, when every mall received at tho executive of fices was burdened with letters de manding his dismissal and when Kel ler was being painted In letters of tho blackest dye, tho governor stood unfalteringly by him and ho lived to see Keltcr virtually vindicated of the flagrantly exaggerated charges which had been laid at his door, lxiyal to Friends. Tho governor stood by Keller bo cause bo believed ho was right and becauso ho bcllovcd Keller was honest. Ho was ready to weigh his own political chances in tho balance and to lay down his political llfo for a friend. Surely no greater love hath any politician than thlsl Govornor Wlthycombo was a na tivo of England. Ho was born and reared on a little farm. Ho was, nevertheless, well educated and given special scientific preparation in tho knowiedgo of veterinary surgery. In 1871 ho came to Oregon with his parents and thoy settled on a llttlo farm In Washington county. A fow years later he secured a farm of his own, which ho operated for 15 years, using spare days to run Into Port- continued on Last Pago.)
