DIDATE Klit KEXATOH ll.inley Kuys Ilecision Due to Mix-up That Caused Hint to NupHrt Wilson William Hanley, of Burns, will be an Independent candidate for Cnited States Senator from Oregon at the general election next Novem ber, according to the Oregonian. While he is not ready to make his formal announcement, this informa tion come from personal friends, to whom he said that he had conclud ed to definitely enter the race. They were not asked to keep the news sec ret. The information they gave con- ! firms previous political gossip to the effect that Mr. Hanley would take a hand in the political situation. His decision to run as an indepen dent is Mr. Hanley's solution of a party mixup that lias occasioned con siderable conjecture as to what party affiliation, if any, he would be a candidate under. At the last Presidential election Mr. Hanley cast his vote and gave his support openly to Woodrow Wil son. This was, as he says, the first Democratic vote he ever bad cast, as he had been a life-long Republi can and a strong party leader in his section of the state for many years. Feeling that in the three-cornered fight, Mr; Taft had no chance of election and that Roosevelt ought to be defeated, he ailed himself with the Wilson forces. In running as an independent can didate now, lie will do so with the promise to support President Wilson and his parent policies. Mr. Hanley will not, of course. compete in the primaries, but will be nominated by petition. As he is one of the most widely known men in tho state, his friends figure that it will be an easy matter, prior to the general election, for him to ob tain the necessary number of signers to his petition. Mr. Hanley has long been active In work for the development of Ore gon. He is president of the State Irrigation Congress, president of Die Central Oregon Development League and vice-president of the State of Oregon Development Lea gue. In December, 1913, he wa one of the Oregon delegates to the Na tional Conservation Congress at Washington. He is a believer in the principals of having tho people of the state de velop their own resources. He was born at Jacksonville, Oregon, just 53 years ago last Sunday aud has liv ed in Oregon all his life. Two announced candidates for United States Senator already are in the flold. They are R. A. Booth, of Eugouo, as a candidate for the Re publican nomination, and George 1 E. Chamberlain, incumbent, as a can didate fur the Democratic nomina tion. A few days ago ex-United States Seim'or Bourne, in a letter ptibllfhod in the newspapers, gave out what is considered by many as WORK STARTilslimHM'iC ON FIRST UN11 tl OF HIGHWAY STATE COMMISSION TAKES AC TION TO AID UNEMPLOYED WILL BE ALL YEAR ROUTE Work In Sherman County Marks . . First Unit of Prinevllle- Lake view Highway The State Highway Commission has called for bids for the contract for costructing a portion of the Cen tral Oregon highway In Sherman county, from Wasco to Biggs, a distance of about ten miles. The contract was to be awarded at Port land this week. Concerning the subject the Port land Journal says in part; The principal object in letting the contract at this time is to create em ployment immediately to relieve the unemployed situation in the state. When the work of construction Is be gun It is expected that there will be employment for at least 300 men. The road will follow the survey made by Samuel Hill two years ago, and presented to the' state. The estimated cost of the section Is $30 000. From Wasco north a distance of six miles there will be but very little grading, as the line follows along the hogback, or ridge, between the Deschutes canyon and Spanish Hollo w. Six miles north of Wasco the road will start down into Span ish Hollow, emerging at Biggs. For the most part the grade will not exceed five per cent. In one place for a short distance the sur vey calls for a grade of seven per cent, bat it is thought that this can be reduced to five with a slight change. At Biggs connection will be made with the projected Columbia river highway, following along the river bank past the Celilo rapids to The Dalles and thence to Portland. When completed the Sherman county road will form the first unit in the Central Oregon highway, which runs from Biggs to Wasco and thence to Moro, Shaniko, Prinevllle and Lakevlew. Owing to climatic condition this route will form an al ternative route to California and will be of easy construction, passing as tt does through a natural road country. The most expensive stretch will be that btween Biggs and Wasco.
