Fulton and Mrs. Fulton, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Boie, Mr. nnd Mrs. Runyon formed an au tomobile party which arrived here Thursday, and Friday afternoon left for Crater Lake. They expect to return by way of Klamath Falls and Ashland. "Like the pilgrims in 'Innocents Abroad,' we are traveling as Ameri enn citizens as unostentatiously as becomes our unofficinl state," said Senator Fulton. "In fact, we uie out to have a good time, and we aie realizing our expectations. You n.k about the roads between hero and Portlnnd. There is something to be desinll, of course, but I was more than surprised pleasurcnbly no, also at the number of miles of 'good' road built during the past year or two which wo found along the line. Every countj wc passed through from Clatsop to Jackson presented evidences of rond im provement. The Crater Lake road would have been a good thing, iu my opinion, but I cannot criticise the action of the supreme court, which is bound down by tho 3x9 constitu tion of the state. Personally, I would favor any appropriation for the building of roads iu the state, but the matter having been founorly decided in tho Tillamook case, there was nothing to do by tho supremo court except give a decision in con sonance. However, I am inclined to believe that if the question was sub mitted to a vote it would carry unnnimouslv." Only four "declarations of iuten tion" Lave been filed by those who nro seeking office, subject, of course, I to the will of the people Three of these nro Republicans. ' viz.: Fred L.
