Stool, United States commis sioner for the park, unnoimccd yes terday the launching of a campaign to secure funds for its construction. Tho grading will cost $700, 000, he estimated. Both to grado and pave the highway would cost $1,500,000. 1 Oregon's appropriation would he matched by a government appropria tion. If the state highway depart ment and .lackson county together could set aside $350, 000, an equal nniounl may he expected from Wash iiiKton. Mr. $5teel is before tho stato high way commission today urging that it approve a stato appropriation of 25 per cent of tho amount needed this year. Jackson county, he Bays, will furnish 75 per cent of the amount Tomorrow he will leave for Washing ton to interest government authori ties in the project. (il-utlc is : Per Out. The Mcdford-Crater Lake highway, outlined by Mr. Steel, will connect with tho Pacific highway. It will fur. nish a :t per cent route to within 1000 feet of tho park boundaries as substi tuto fcr the present route, which has grades a ssteop as 20 per cent. The remaining 1000 feet to the park boun dary would have a grade of 4 14 per cent. The government built road within the park has no grade exceed ing 10 per cent. The road that Mr. Steel proposes would have no equal among mountain highways. It would becomo an integral part of the park- to-park highway proposed by Stephen T. Mather, assistant to tho secretary of the Interior, in charge of national parks. It would induce a multiplied lourist travel, and spread tho fame of tho marvelous blue lake in. the high crater of Mount Mazama. Second Kouil I'mjecteil. Jlr. Steel said yesterday that a sec ond road project Is from Klamath Talis to The Dalles. This road would at once become a favorite with tour ists, both or this district and from a distance. A connecting road on very easy grade between Crater Lake and The llalles-Klamath Falls highway would be only a few miles long. -Thus 'Yi'oukr'be -completed a new loop or unusual scenic attraction, in dialing tho Columbia river highway, Tho Dalles to Kluinulh, the short, road to the lake, tho 3 per cent road from t lie. park to Medford, and the Pacific highway to Portland again. For a number of years Mr. Steel lias been supervisor of Crater Nation al Park. He resigned tho position, as an nounced yesterday, and was appointed United States commissioner for the park. He will be given larger oppor tunity in his new position to carry on broad development campaigns for the benefit of Crater lake tourift attrac tions. II. E.Momycr. who has bceu Mr. Steel s assistant, will serve as act ing supervisor of tho park. Travel to Crator lake increased dur ing tho past season, despite the fact that the season was fivo weeks late. Approximately 1 3,000 people visited tho park in 1010, an Increase of S00 over 19 15, and there were 1000 more automobiles than in lit 15. T MISSOULA, Mont., Nov. 2.1. What's to become of congress with a woman in tin ranks f While the nation was still rubbing its eyes over the novelty of u wom an's winning a place in the national body of huvnmkcrs, the woman her self, Miss Jeanelte Ifuukin, is at home here with her family, soberly preparing for her invasion of Wash ington.

A young western woman is Miss Kankin. Her life wus begun on a Montana ranch. Her education was gained in a western university, the University of Montana, here nt Mis soula. During her college career Miss Rankin paid frequent visils to the east. The swarming" tenement dis tricts, with their neglected, half starved children, aroused her sympa thies. She plunged into a deep study uf social conditions. Anil this led to social settlement work in the great eastern metropolis und San Fran cisco. Miss liankin generalcd the cam paign for the suffrage amendment in Montana's legislature in 1011-12. And she was chairman of tho Mon tana Suffrage association which waged a statewide campaign in 'the winning fight of 1913-1-j. She is a republican.

S. 1 TO BE SCARED OVER U-BOAT CRISIS' WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Movtval of rumors of a renewal of ruthlesa submarine warfare by Germany and. consequent action by the United States, were met today by the state ment of officials here that the situa tion, while delicate, was absolutely unchanged and would be until the United Stales had gathered all the evidence on the recent attacks.' ' The state department still Is wait-' Ing the result of Investigation and meanwhile officials reiterate that the position of the United States as laid down In tho last correspondence with Germany Is unchanged. It niado clear that a severance Ot diplomatic rotations would follow any violation of the pledges from Berlin. Heforrlng to reports of an alarm ing situation, Secretary Lansing au thorized this statement: ' "I do not know the origin ot the storios rogarding the submarine situ ation, but I have the Impression that they are emanating from some source In this country." It was made olear that the sltUs. tion was unchanged. , BRITISH STEAMER ERNAST0N SUNK BY SUBMARINE walls, the mournful tolling of bolls undo Vienna today a veritable city of grief. Faces everywhere show that the nation's emperor is a porsonul be- rouvcinent to most of the people. "Our emperor," does not yet refer to the young man who ascendod tho throno last night. .It Is still meant for the old man who for noarly seven ty years presided over the dual mon archy, the ten races of which gave him their love and devotion. Emperor Franclr Joesph was the foundation upon which the dual mon archy rested. This fact gives to the death of tho old emperor and the ac cession of the new a peculiar signif icance. Thus today it was not so much that one emperor had died, but that a new monarch had taken tho throno. While in Budapest last night there wero shouts of "long llvo tho king!" the Vtoncse still occupy themselves with tho passing of tho old man who was their co-cltlzen for so many years and to whom they owed alloglanco. Tho emporor had come to be regarded as an institution predestined to live forover and when tho hour came to prove that there is nothing on earth eternal, it found the minds of tho uooplo wholly unprepared.
