TO BUILD PORTAGE ROAD
FIRST DIRT WILL BE THROWN
WITHIN THE NEXT THIRTY
DAYS.
Open River Association Is Now Busy
Raising the Necessary Money
Among the Farmers.

Dirt will be flying on the portage
road at Cello within 80 days. j. c..
McCabe, a Seattle contractor, is on
the ground with the engineers, and
will probably get the job and the Open
River association is busy raising $40
900 among the farmers of eastern Ore
gon and Washington, who are to be
benefited by the portage road. This
sum will make the amount available
for building and equipping the eight
miles of road 100000, the other por-
last Oregon legislature.
1t is a good thing for the producers
of eastern Oregon that the Open River
association took the portage road mat
ter up, as the Oregon state commits
sion would not have done anything
toward building the road. The right
of way has been secured without one
cents outlay on the part Of the state,
and when the road is finally ready for
business it will make the wheat and
wool Of the Inland Empire worth more,
as it will render transportation cheap
err to the markets Of Portland and the
world. 1t will do this even though a
wheel never rolled over the road, as
the possibility of all-river transporta-
ton will compel the railroads to re-
duce their freight charges. The port
age road will be the biggest acquisition
to the industries of the upper country
that has been VOuchSafed us since the
railroad was built up the Columbia.

The Little Japanese,

Onoe5I knew a Japanese,
With a little blue chemise.
Socks and sandals and a pretty pa
per fan,
Lady foot and dandy hand,
Miscropically planned
And he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
He was neat and he was clean,
Most delightful to be seen.
He was spotless; he was spic and he
was span;
He was sugar; he was spice;
He was everything that's nice;
And he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
He would greet you with a smile
Which would carry half a mile,
Sweet as summer, and expansive in
its plan;
He would nod his beaming nol
Like a polished little doll;
And he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
Which is why I'd give a lot,
Could 1 camp upon the spot,
Where he's winning bloody laurels
for Japan.
Just to watch him wading in.
With that smile above his chin;
For he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
