Gition to paying these dividends 1T add

IN FORM OF POETRY.

Bonbons. BY r. P. Savinien. Broadway
Publishing Company, New York.
This is book where the lines are
divided off as in poetry, but otherwise
there would seem to be no particular
reason for supposing it intended for
poetry, There is in it much striving
for effect with much failure to reach
anything worth while. The following
closing stanza of the book is perhaps
as good an illustration of the author
style as any in it;
Pure beauty the uninterrupted light
And chastity yoluptuosity

No State in the union is exper-

gon. 1t has ever been promi-

its admission into the union on

that its busting activity, first as
. frontier community and later a
territory rich in resources invit-

lie between its northern and
southern borders. Three noun
tain ranges traverse the state
from north to south, the Coast
range, which parallels the PSci-
fc coast line, and of which the
altitude is 1000 feet; the Cas-
cades, 100, $50 miles inland, that
rise to a height of 5000 to II,
feet and divide the state into
the two great eastern and west
ern districts, and the Blue noun
tains near the eastern border.
which are from 5000 to 10000 in
height.
The "a countries of the state
harbor a population of 800, 900
people and that number Is being
rapidly increased each year by
the influx of homeseekers from
the eastern states attracted by
the opportunities Offered in field
and forest. The several cities
and towns of the state have hit
upon a plan of orginized boost
ing conducive to the more rapid
development of Oregon. The
mountain ranges seperate east
ern from western Oregon. The
13 counties included in the north
western division border for the
most part on the Columbia and
Willamette rivers. The famous
Willamette valley, which is $50
miles long and 60 miles wide and
includes 5000, 900 acres, is dotted
with thriving cities and towns
which are accessible to the pro-
ductive farms for which the val
ley is noted. A mild climate and
a fertile soil are largely respons-
ible for the agricultural achieve
ments of the valley which also
has the advantage of transporta-
ton facilities.
Southern Oregon includes the
five counties of Douglas, Coos,
Curry, Josephine and Jackson,
which are quite separated from
the Willamette valley. The
forests and mineral deposits of
the mountains and the fertile
soil in the valleys combine to Of
fer great opportunity.
Eastern Oregon comprises an
immense district east of the Cas-
cades some $4,000 square miles
in extent, and including approx
imately two thirds of the entire
area of the state. Here is locat-
ed the grert range land famous
as a stockraising district. Here
is to be found a vast area of land
ultimately to become the great
est grain growing section of the
country, once the dual charm of
irrigation and transportation is
worked. A number of reclama-
ton projects already completed
have shown the marvellous re-
suits of modern irrigation meth
DDS followed by modern and sci
entific farming, and more than
justify the rapid progress of the
work which will pave the way
from the transformation of many
an arid waste into a prosperous
territory rich in the production
of fruit and grain.
To date the government rec
lamation service has sent approx
imately $4,000, 900 in Oregon in
the development of two irriga-
ton projects involving more than
200, 600 acres of land. While
neither of these projects are
finished to date, their influence
has given an impetus to a gener-
al movement by way of the arti-
fetal application of water to the
soil. Vast sums have been ex-
pended by individual enterprise
in the substitution of orchard

CURVES AND GRADES.
They Are Becoming Important Owing

They Are Becoming Important Owing
to Increase of Automobile Traffic.
Until recently the location of high
ways has been governed more 10y
grade than by alignment. For Obvious
reasons horse drawn vehicles demand
ed easy grades. but were little aie, ted
by sharp curves. Consequently roads
were SO laid out as to meet this re-
quirement. being made to wind around
hills and follow tOrtuuuS water
courses with little attempt To provide
curves of long radii The result is n
highway system which. except III l"vri
country. is cunpoScd of crooked roads
well adapted To the needs OF wagon
traffic. picturesque and pleasing. but
un+uitcd to the requirements of
traffic composed Of heavy motor driven
vehicles travelling at hiAh speed.
Safety is Il factor that hitherto has
entered into the work of road build
ing to only Il very limited extent. but
which is constantly assuming more i'm
portance The rapidly increasing use
of motor vehicles places this new re-
sponSibility on the roAdmaker, and
the building of new roads with longer
curves and the rcali%nment of old
roads will do much toward reducing
the dangers attendant upon the new
modes of transportation.
The existence of Il curve generally
though not necessarily. presupposeS
the presence on the inner side of some
obstruction shutting off the view of
the roadway ahead from vehicle
travelling around it. Curves having
radii of 1000 feet or less are of com
mon occurrence in such places. and
width of thirty feet in the clear is as
great as that found on many country
roads On such Il curve the driver
of an automobile running in the mid
die of the road can see an approach
ing car also in the middle of the
road only about $50 feet ahead. At
thirty miles an hour a little less than
nine seconds are required to traverse
this distance. and if each car were
running ut that speed only little over
four seconds would eapse between
the instant when they came in sight
Of each other and their meeting. Many
considerations prohibit the establish
ment of an arbitrary minimum radius
for highway curves. but careful
study of prevailing conditions shows
clearly that more attention will have
to be paid to this phase of road build
ing in the future than has been dc-
corded to it in the past. Roads must
