Ins tho unfounded assertion that wono
ot tho money raised from tho bonds
will bo oxepnded on roads In the Wil
lamette Valloy south ot Multnomah
County; that all of tho money contrib
uted by Willamette Valley counties In
automobile licenses and In taxes from
tho quarter mill state road tax will bo
required and will be expanded in com
plettug tho Columbia lllvcr Highway.
The plain facts arc:
1st. Reliable engineering estimates
secured by tho Highway Commission
agree that 1.750,000 will complete tho
Columbia River Highway from Astoria
to The Dalles.
2nd. Multnomah County pays 3714
per cent of the state tax and 40 per
cent ot the automobile license fees but
under tho highway plan embraced la
tho road bond bill not ono cent ot tho
money so paid will be exponded In
Multnomah County.
3rd. Multnomah Oeunty will pay In
automobile fees and state road tax ap
proximately $2,400,00.0 which Is moro
than sufficient to complete tho Colum
bia River Highway and leave a bal-
nn ordor forolovon additional locomo
tives for dollvory this year In tlmo to

Tho neceslty for mooting tho nntlou

to purchase their material In tho high

known.
For example, tho locomotives Just
ordered will cost tho Southern-Pnclf'a

SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN
URGES GOOD ROADS
Oregonlan News Bureau,
Washington, April 24. (Spe
cial). Senator Chamberlain to
day expressed his hearty ap
proval of the proposal to build
hard-surfaced modern roads In
Oregon paralleling the Pacific
Coast. He declared that such
roads through all the Pacific
Coast states would be of the
greatest military Importance.
"While not familiar with the
details of the Oregon road plan,"
said Senator Chamberlain, "as
I understand It, that plan will
provide roads which, from a
military standpoint, are most
necessary. But, as a matter of
fact, we should have such roads
paralleling the Coast line from
Canada to Mexico. First-class
hard-surface roads would afford
ready facility for transporting
both' troops and supplies up and
down the Pacific Coast In the
vent ot military activity on
that Coast and would greatly
augment the railroad.
"Reads such as these would
have ibe highest strategic val
ue and ought to be built, but I
do not believe the Federal Gov
ernment at this time has the
monty to build them,:'
an amendment to tite national coil'
stitutfon elvluc cuml r'ght of suffrage)
to men and women In all states of tho
Union."
A Good Position.

man or lady In the field of railway
or commercial telegraphy. Since th
passago of tho eight hour law br
Congress, it has created n demand
for telegraph operators. Positions Vf
