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.

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.

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. First of her sex to win these na
tional honors, she is saying: nothing
as to what she proposes doinjr when
she gets to the eapitnl. In the mean
while the nation is doing its utmost
to make her a curiosity.
New spaper men und movie men nro
besieging her home by night and by
day, but with gentle rebuffs Miss
liankin is consistently denyiug them
u peep into her political plnns.
For eight years she has worked
for suffrage. She has sacrificed her
timo nuil money. Through her cam
paigns to place her sex on n par w ith
men nt the polls she lias achieved na
tional prominence.
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.
During that time, too, she carried
on the fight elsewhere. In 1DI1-12,
she lobbied in the Xew York legisla
ture for suffrage as field secretary
of the National Suffrage association.
To her was entrusted the suffrage

The special election to vote on
charter amendments is being held to
day, November 21. Preliminary to
this movement two public meetings
liavo been held, one at city hull on
Tuesday afternoon, and another
which assumed the proportions of a

ment involves an expenditure ot

amendments are the outgrowth of
suggestions made by such capitalists.

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

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

thorized this statement: '
"I do not know the origin ot the

they are emanating from some source

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
