WASTE FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS
System of Good Roads Would Save
That Amount Every Year.

The Kansas City Times says The
report Of the only government investi-
cation ever made into the cost of haul
age over wagon roads in this country
shows that the average cost is 26.6
cents per ton per mile, ranging from
80 cents in the eastern states to %
cents in the Pacific states. In Eng
land and France, where first class
roads are constructed and constantly
maintained, the cost is reduced to 10
cents per ton per mile. The cost Of
hauling by horses in the United States
is more than 1000 million dollars per
year, at least half Of which could be
saved by a complete system of inter
nal roads of the first class.
Against the enormous waste incident
to bad roads, the cost of constructing
good rodas should be considered only
incidentally, for this cost may be dis
tributed over number Of years. Or,
even if paid at once, it would soon be
absorbed by the added profits accru-
ing from good roads. Since the founda-
tion of good highway is practically
indestructible, the long-run calculation
should be mainly as to the cost of
maintenance, and this cost is so low,
as compared with the value Of good
roads, that it is negligible factor.

PASSENGERS SHOVEL IN VAIN
Canadian Northern Train is Stuck in
Drifts Near Brandon, Man.

Brandon, Man., Jan. 24.-The Bran
don-Regina Canadian Northern express,
which left Winnipeg at 10:40 a. m. yes
terday, spent the night in snow drift
FIVE miles east Of this city. The train
was not empty by any means, for be-
sides many passengers for Regina and
points north, there were aboard about
twenty delegates to the farmers con-
vention here. The train made good
time until within five miles of the
city and then it plunged into a deep
drift and stayed there. The passengers
formed shovel brigade and gave two
hours hard work to the company, but
their efforts resulted in an advance e.
barely a hundred yards, and all eff.
forts were abandoned.

KEN TEMPLE WILL GIVE
AN IMMENSE FAIR
Some of the Features Will Be Heart
breaking-Also Bone Breaking.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 21.-Kem
Temple of the Shriners is preparing
to give fair from February IA to II
inclusive which will have all the fun Of
q circus, a horse race, quilting bee
and political parade combined. The
amusement place will be at the Ma
sonic temple and a five nickle admission
fee will be charged. Life preservers
will be sold inside the temple at reas-
enable prices.
The committee having the torments
in charge has not fully decided upon
all the plans but enough can be an
nounced to indicate the quality of the
fun in store. Among the possibilities
is teeth hanging contest in which the
Shriners will hang suspended with the
teeth gripping the elephants tail, the
one hanging the longest being awarded
a prize which will consist Of a photo
graph of himself while suspended. An
other will be contest in writing with
the toes in which G. A. Hale, W. H.
Kelsey and j. D. Bacon will contest.
N. B. Black will sing number Of
Scotch songs while standing on his
head. Members Of the patrol will play
a series of games of checkers using on
ly their noses to move the checkers.
Should these features not be available
others equally as good will be substi-
tuted.
There will be moving pictures
ones produced by flms-every night
and enough other good things to make
at ovon;no worth several dollars.

MILITARY GROUNDS
TO Be IMPROVED
MILITARY BOARD HOPES TO
MAKE LOCAL GROUND OF ma
T1oNAL IMPORTANCE.

Hoping to make the state military
reservation Of the best in the North.
west, the efficient Military Board are
exerting every effort to improve the
Typographical conditions. An i'm
mense amount of work was done last
year on the parade ground and space
allotted for tents and the plans this
year are even more elaborate in prep
aration for the encampment during the
Chautauqua.
Already one hundred acres have
been cleaned thoroughly of underbrush
and dead trees including road from
the parade grounds to Pelican point.
At the present session Of the legis
lature a bill has been introduced ask
ing for the establishment Of quar-
termaster IS house and an officers club
room. These additions will tend to
make it more comfortable for the mil
tia men and may possibly lead to the
grounds being used for interstate
manouvers, for no better grounds
could be imagined on which to put the
men through the military evolutions.

MILLING CONCERN

c. w. NIBLEY DISCUSSES
SAW MILL POSSIBILITY
Declares Pendlcton Logical Place Tor
Biz Mill-Douglas Belts Thinks
Railroad Can Be Built to Southern
End of County.

At the conference yesterday after
noon between the members of the
Commercial club managing board
and c. w. Nibley representative of
the saw mill company that has the
mill at Meacham, the subject OF es-
tablishing a saw mill here for the
purpose of manufacturing the timber
of southern Umatilla and northern
Grant counties was discussed pro and
con. During the meeting Mr.. Nibley
volunteered to present the PROPOSE
ton Of the Commercial club to his
father. the president of his company
and indicated they might be interest
ed in the matter though he gave out
no promises or predictions as to what
might be done.
In the opin'on Of Mr.. Nibley, as ex-
! pressed to the managing board PEN
dleton offers an ideal location for u
saw mill. provided a railroad can be
| built to the timber belt so as to bring
the logs here. The mild winter eli
mate. the abundance of labor here
and the good market for slab wood
are among the chief inducements
which Pendleton has to offer mill
/ ing concern.
At the meeting yesterday, Mr.. Nib
! ley asked many questions regarding
the timber Of the southern part O.
this county and suggested that data
with reference to the possibility OF
getting a railroad to the timber be
submitted to his father. Secretary
Jack Keefe assured him that all the
! data available would be furnished as
soon as possible.
! Douglas Belts, who was present al
the meeting, estimates that there ]:
/ all told about one thousand millior
feet of timber in southern Umatilla
county and northern Grant. He be-
lieves that it would be very feasible
to build an electric road from thai
section to Pendleton and possibly tC
the river in the event that neither
the O.-W. r. & n. or the Northern
Pacific will extend their lines to tha
| region.
