CHEER NAME
OF ROOSEVELT

MINNEAPOLIS, March 1.-The
name of Roosevelt was cheered here
by $40 leading merchants, manufac-
turers, and shippers when Frank B.
Kellogg, the government trust bust
err gave him credit for the enactment
of laws preventing railroad rebates
and today there is much speculation
as to the significance of the demon
stration Kellogg delivered an ad
dress on the relation of the govern
ment to the railroads last night and
contended that until the government
is ready to control al the railroad
rates and facilities entirely, it should
prohibit consolidation which would
destroy competition. Kellogg urged
against allowing the railroads to con-
troll steamship lines and declared the
Panama canal would be useless if it
didn't develop competition. His re-
ference to Roosevelt was widely
cheered.

Louis has authorized a bond issue OF
$11 100000 for Civic Improvement
Cleveland has secured available land
and several buildings for a most
beautiful civic center, worked out under
the direction of John Carrere, Arnold
Bruner and Daniel Burnham.
Portland, with it's splendid oppor-
tunities for such civic improvement is
ready to act The Portland Architect
ural club has been working steadily
for revision of the charter providing

of speakers to cover the city In ex-
planning 70 voters the reasons for such
a commission.
"The question of proper city plan
ming bears not only the beautifying of
the city, but on the arranging for con-
venient placing of municipal buildings,
and on many other questions relating
to the commercial growth of the city.
1t is one of the big questions of the
day, and i am glad to see it included
in the Civic Institute"

With regard to the extent of the

County Health
Is Much Better

That the county health is improving
in spite of the poor weather will be
shown by the monthly report of Coun-
ty Health Officer DIR. NJ. Stiles now
under preparation. In January there
was in the neighborhood of 80 cases
of contagious diseases being mostly
small pox, while the report for Feb
ruary does not contain a single case
of small pox or other contagious dis
ease.
Wherever case is reported prompt
attention is given it and all precau-
ton taken to keep it from spreading.
Dr. Stiles said this morning that the
danger of contagion, is being reduced
also on account of the many new
movements being organized for clean
alleys and streets and the special care
that seems to be taken in meat in
spection.

E. f. Lawrence, president of the
Portland Architects association and

subject of city plans which he will give
at one of the sessions of the Civic In

In a most able address before the
Dacres hotel today noon, Attorney E.
F. Barker, whose subject was, Some
of the Things Not Fully Appreciated
In Walla Walla," mentioned the above
as being among those things not
properly regarded by the majority OF
Walla Wallans. In giving facts rela-
tive to the state prison, the speaker
touched upon points heretofore not
considered by the average business
man, and shower where the city is di-
rectly benefited by the maintenance of
the factory on the hill"
According to Mr.. Barker, the peniten
tiary is a factory, with a payroll of 55
men, exclusive of the convicts. These
men are family men, whose people at
tend Walla Walla schools, churches,
theaters, purchase their articles in
Walla Walla, and who swell the popu-
lation of the city at least 200. The
monthly payroll is about $3,597, practi-
cally all of which is spent in Walla
Walla, and in addition to this revenue
indirectly derived by the business men,
it is shown that the convicts spend $500
monthly with the local cigar and to-
bacco stores. Last fall the prison con-
tracted for 100 tons of potatoes from
Walla Walla growers, the consumption
at the prison averaging one ton every
two and one-half days. One hundred
tons of alfalfa has been contracted for
of valley farmers. The monthly pur-

Three years ago the Highway Dr.
vision of the Wisconsin Geological and
Natural History Survey commenced its
work of giving free engineering advice
to towns in the state contemplating
road or bridge improvement. The first
year was spent in organizing force
and making the work known to the
people of the state by demonstration
roads, speeches and literature. By July
1st, 1908, the work was we'll under way,
and since that time remarkable results
have been achieved.
The two year period ending July LIST,
1910, shows the following work done by
the four engineers in this work:
PSI public speeches made in 63 count
les.
la road inspections made in 80 count
les
80 road surveys totalling 65 miles in
length made in rs counties.
277 bridge inspections made in "a
counties.
$50 bridges costing about SITS, 900
built under the DIVISIONS plans in AZ
counties.
$40, 900 worth of road construction
done under the Divisions plan.
In addition to the above, much road
and bridge construction has been done
under advice by letter or direct from
information contained in the pamphlets
issued by the Division, which is not in
cluded in the above summary.
Considering the fact that the local
officials always voluntarily avail them
selves of the help of the Division, as
assistance is only furnished on request,
the above showing demonstrates the
fact that there is developing real de-
mand for skilled advice in road and
bridge construction in this state.
