That the good roads" movement
in the United States is rapidly be-
coming a national policy. is shown
by the following letter from John z.
Lathrop, secretary to United States
Senator John NJ. Gearin, commend
ing the movement of the people of
Umatilla county and explaining in de-
tail how the movement was started
and who is responsible for it.
Mr.. Lathrop being on the ground
in the national capital has an excel
lent opportunity to judge of the
sources of the activity in this line
and his information is valuable for
this reason. His letter is as follows:
Washington, D. c.. Feb. l4.-(Edi-
tor East Oregonian.) IL have ad-
dressed letters to County Judge John
H. Scott, Salem, Ore, and Judge H.
j. Rean, Pendleton, Ore, informing
thcm that through the efforts of
Samuel Hill, of Seattle, who also has
residence in Washington. D. c., ar
rangements are now made for the
government to build q sample mile
of roadway in each OF two localities
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho. Mon
tana, the Dakotas and Minnesota.
The good roads service of the de-
partment of agriculture will furnish
the machinery, crushers, rollers, en-
perts and everything necessary to
work, each county in which the work
is conducted to furnish the raw ma
terial the right of way and the conf
mon labor.
l wish to call attention to the fact
that this plan has no feature of graft
in II. fer the reason that no money is
asked for by any of those who come
into the state from outside, but every
thing furnished by the government,
and is without expense to the people
there.
desire also to call attention to the
fact that through the efforts of Sam
uel Hill, brother of James ]. Hill and
]. P. O'Brien have agreed to furnish
free transportation and that the eX-
pense on the part of the government
and the railroads will amount t.
many thousand dollars.
Mr.. Hill has presented the matter
so strongly to the department of ag-
riculture that the officials are en-.
thusiastic for it.
have given personal attention tc
it. and insofar as I am competent tc
judge, assure you that the plan Is ex.
cellent, and in the highest degree
practical.
1 am impressed by my visit to the
east with the immense Importance ot
forwarding the good roads movement
Before ones eyes are object lessons
which tell the value to the farmer.
of applying to the public highways
the same principles of transportation
that govern railway men in handling
their big systems. I wish to urg,
personally your hearty cooperation
in this plan, and shall be glad to learr
from you that you will give it.
Very. truly yours,
JOHN E. LATHROP.

cites and from their lips curl the
smoke and the look of pleasure and
satisfaction on their faces suggests
that there is real enjoyment in Gig.
arettes.
Another thing we see In the pic
ture is champaign glasses in front of
the young ladies, which might also
be construed to suggest that this is
also advisable IL you would enjoy the
best there is in life.
Then go into the reading matter
above this picture of the young soci-
ETY. men smoking a cigarette in the
presence of the ladies and what do we
find? Here is what 1t says:
"There is scarcely a happier inter-
val than that between a good play
and a good dinner. The memory Of
isfaction of the other suggests Murad
Cigarettes to those most used to and
most discriminating In fine smoking
Mild. rich, delicious and distinctive
the Murad Is the most fitting accom-
paniment Of the most enjoyable oc-
casions 10 for 10 cents" Then for
fear the reader of the advertisement
may not be able to get cigarettes 1t
goes on to say: "By mail, postpaid, IL
you can't get Murad cigarettes from
your dealer, send is cents for 10, 75
cents for so, $3.50 for 100" and winds
up by giving the address of the dis
pensers of the ''little pills" often re-
ferred to as "coffin nails"
Did any one ever see patent med
icine ad that recommended the pro-
duct more strongly than Golfers
Weekly recommends the use OF Gig
arettes?
The idea and words In the quarter
page advertisement can convey but
one impression and that is that to
make an evening complete men
should smoke cigarettes as they are
"the most fitting accompaniment of
the most enjoyable occasions"
If Golfers Weekly is sincere in its
campaign against patent medicines
because they are harmful. why does
it so into the homes and advises
fathers, mothers. sisters, daughters
anu " us
'the most fitting accompaniment of
the most enjoyable occasion" as 1t
is an undisputable fact that cigarettes
are injurious.
The cries of a publication against
their brother publishers should carry
little weight when they advise smok-
ing cigarettes.
We regret we have not the facili-
ties for reproducing Golfers Week
ly recommendation of the smoking
of cigarettes and let the public see
this recommendation of curse that
has puzzled the mothers and fathers
of this country to devise law TO
stamp out or at least protect the
coming generations as well as the
present against.

CONFIRMED PROOF.
Residents Of Pendleton Cannot Doubt
What Has Been Twice Proved.


In gratitude for complete relief
from aches and pains of bad backs
from distressing kidney ills-thous-
ands have publicly recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents Of
Pendleton, who so testified years ago,
now say their cures were permanent.
This testimony doubly proves the
worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Pen
dleton kidney sufferers.
Henry williams, Of College street.
Pendleton, Ore, says: ut Is over
two years ago since I made a state
ment for publication in our local pa
pers, in which 1 highly recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
Brock e McComas Co.'S drug store.
| This lapse of time has only confirmed
and strengthened my good opinion Of
this remedy. Before using 1t had
been troubled for nearly four years
with dull heavy aching pains across
my loins and kidneys. Colds always
aggravated the complaint and caused
an irregularity Of the kidney secre-
tions. I lost a good deal of rest
nights through having to rise at in
tervals, and the annoyance and worry
sapped nearly all the energy out of
me. Doan's Kidney Pills changed all
this, and, as I said before, they are
worth their weight In gold to anyone
suffering from disordered kidneys or
backache."

Pendleton, Feb. 19.-(Editor East

pears to be setting itself up as a
journal to reform the patent medicine
business on the grounds that 1t Is
harmful and a gross injustice on the
American public and charges news
papers with being in league with the
patent medicine houses, but when We
look through its advertising columns
we find that paper recommending the
use of cigarettes and dwelling upon
the merits of one particular brand
which it advises the public to use.
The deadly little cigarette is one
the curse the country and mothers
and fathers throughout this land
advise against their use, and plead
with their sons to abstain from this
vice. I
The writer overheard a mother say
II would rather see my son in his
grave than a cigarette fiend."
Many of the large corporations and
business house will not engage a Gig
arctic smoker because of the effect
the paper rolls have on the mental
and physical faculties Of the users.
Many employers Of labor when ad-
vertising for help insert the clause
mo cigarette smokers need apply"
Yet we find Golfers Weekly ac-
cepting money for recommending the
use of cigarettes and in a quarter
page announcement picture a scene In

York, where two young men in full
evening dress are seated at table
with two young ladies, and in their

WELL DEFINED PLANS
ARE AS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS.
+ Full FARMING AS IN OTHER
BUSINESS.

The principles of farm practice in
this western country are still in, an
unsettled condition. The farmer who
carries out a definite rotation of
crops is rarely found and the man
who has a well-defined scheme of
cultivation methods is equally scarce
This condition is natural to new
country and as the country becomes
older. we may expect an advance to-
wards improved conditions. The inn
provements come slowly however for
in as old state as Iowa, where the
agricultural conditions are said to be
nearly ideal, the crop production per
acre is about half of what the best
informed experts say that it should
be. Much of this loss is oacasioned
by sheer slackness. Others, again,
may do good" farming but their sys-
tenn may not be adopted to the soil
or climate. @
A farmer commencing business In
d AS" pue3oa-
bic, systems Of farming best adopted
for that locality What relation shall
the live stock industry hold to the
crops to be raised? What crops are
ito be raised? What cultivation
methods are to be followed? What
system of rotation shall be adopted?
These questions are highly important
and to the careful farmer demand
definite answers. The minor details
|of the answer, the farmer must him
self provide The general scheme oil
things can be worked out by means
of information obtained from older
settlers, from farm papers, from their
own knowledge Of things or by con
jsultatfon with the experiment
stations.
We think that the value Of the
agricultural press is not as highly
appreciated today as ii should be. ii
has greatly increased IN efficiency Id
the last few years There are still
certain so-cailed farm papers pub.
