WASUIN0T0N, Aug. SS. Admin
istration leaders In congress were to
day planning adjournment next Fri
day or Saturday. Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee,
said ho believed It could be done,
unless unforsecn developments arose.
SAI.KM, Or., Aug. 'J.'.. During the
next five years Oregon will receive
from the federal government approx
imately $1,820,000 for the building of
roads under the provisions of the
fedeial aid road act, State Kngineer
Lewis said today (fti bis return from
Washington, D, ('. If this sum is met
by the state and counties of Oregon
it will mean $:i,(M0,ll()0 for roads.
Mr. Lewis went to Washington to
attend a conference to discuss rules
and regulations under which .$H"i,000,
000 of federal money will he expended
in co-operation with states.
Ihe secretary of agriculture is
anxious that each slate adopt n com
prehensive road program and nppl.v
available funds direct (o such end
that n substantial showing can be
made dining the five-year period,"
says Mr. Lewis. "As the federal
funds will largely be expended by Ihe
stales under the direction of the
Cnited States office of public roads,
there will he a strong tendency toward
uniformity m state legislation and
the building up of businesslike state
departments lo administer road
funds.
Two Melius) Provided,
"The federal act provides two dis
tinct methods for expending this
enormous sum. 1,'ndcr section (i, $7"i,
000,001) is to he expended in co-operation
with the stales upon the dollar
for dollar basis, on rural post roads
outside national forests during the
next five years, both state ami fed
eral money to he expended by the
state highway departments under
federal supervision.
"I'lider this section, $78,087 is now
available to Oregon. On July 1,
1017, $lfi7,il75, or double the amount,
will be available. The following year
three times this year's allotment will
be available, and so on until the fifth
year, when the amount will be $:i!):i,
1117. Allotments will revert if not
expended within two, yours. Funds
contributed by counties for slate
work can be used lo offset federal
funds.
Nutioiuil Fomsts Included.
"1'ndcr section 8 of the federal
act, $111,000,011(1 is to he expended in
en-operation with the stale or coun
ties unou roads within national for
ests. (,'o-operation must be had on
some eiiiiitablu base, and Die secre
tary of agriculture will probably hold
this to uieaii a dollar for dollar basis.
The federal funds are to be expended
by the federal road department, and
state or county funds are to be ex
pended by, or under the direction of
Hint department. Co-operative work
may be done by the state or county
upon roads outside national forests,
hul which connect with forest roads.
"The sum of $1'J7,74 will be avail
able to Oregon each year under this
section. If not expended within Ihe!
year it will be available until the end
of the third year.
'Oregon's allotment under both
sections will thus be $'.'00,180 for the
fiscal year ending July 1, 1017, and
$285,170 additional will he available
on such date for the following pear,
or a total of $101.0.'i0.
Oregon Needs Money.
"Oregon's quarter mill state high
way fund has practically all been
pledged by the hi'fhuiiv commission
for 1010 and tho $2411,0011 available
in 1017 will not be sufficient to meet
and secure all the federal money
available. Counties hiav meet and
secure part of such funds, but pref
erence will doubtless be given to
those county projects to he construct
ed iimler the supervision of the slate
highway department.
"In addition, the stale and counties
must agree to properly maintain co
operative roads, and must provide
rights of way necessary therefor.
"Project statements must he sub
mitted upon forms provided by Hie
secretary of Agriculture. As a basis
for approving projects, the secretary
Will require the state and local fed
eral authorities to agree upon a gen
eral plan for the improvement of
highways throughout the state. All
of the $:i,.'l8,ri(IO which will thus he
expended in the next five yeurs by
the state and federaUgoveniments in
co-operntion can Ihus be applied to
ward the construction of through and
connected routes, mid not he frittered
uwav on disconnected projects."
Lewis, says he believes that the fed
eral aid net will force the various
state and county road departments
to adopt higher standards of engin
eering and accounting, and apply all
available funds toward the comple
tion of definite projects, with provis
ion for maintenance.

Patterson, wife of J. K. Patterson,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. Seore
tary of the Interior Lane, in an an
nouncement says It Is utterly useless
for any person to attempt to secure
any preference right to the Oregon
California railroad lands. He adds;
"The attention of the department
has been called to the fact that there
are already at work, in the field, lo
cators who are' claiming that through
their services rights can be secured,
for the payment of a small fee. The
department desires at this time again
to warn the public that no such pref
erence can be obtained at this time,
and that any money paid such lo
cators win undouutedly be money
thrown away.
"It Is the policy of the depart
ment that when the lands are ready
to bo thrown open for settlement and
entry, the public Is to be notified
hereof, so that every one will have an
equal opportunity and an equal
chance. This policy will be strictly
adhered to."
