Camp SUGGESTIONS.

A suggestion for camp refrigerator
is to have barrel sunk into the
ground convenient distance from the
camp. In this the supplies for the
chatting dish should be kept-the can
ned things that have been opened and
the evaporated milk.
Picnic hampers for carrying are real
ly great convenience. though the
space is so fully taken up by the uten-
sils that the provender usually has to
be carried separately,
These hampers are to be had in all
sizes. Instead Of taking china plates
to the camp. which are always cum
bersome. those Of wood fiber, which
are sold in the stores for 5 cents doZ-
en-, make a satisfactory substitute. OF
the same class are heavy paper plates
made in a half dozen layers each.
these being removed by simply pulling
them of. Both the wood and paper
plates are very light in weight and
IRE thrown away after being used.

MODERN ROADMAKING.

Efforts In England to Meet Motor and
Trolley Car Traffic.
The following illustrates the efforts
In England to meet In roadmaking the
conditions imposed by motor and troll
ley car traffic:
A new and direct roadway Is pro
posed between West Hartlepool and
Mlddlesbrough, near Newcastle, in the
county Of Northumberland. a direct
line of seven and three-fourth miles.
In designing the roadway the engineer
in charge has given attention to the
possible development in both heavy.
slow and fast vehicular and motor traf-
&c, each Of which demands separate
consideration and possibly different
methods Of road surface treatment.
The plan accordingly provides = a
center footpath nine feet In width. on
the east side Of the footpath a road for
motor and light, fast traffic twenty
four feet In width and on the west side
Of the footpath road for heavy. slow
traffic twenty-five feet In width This
gives width for highway purposes Of
fifty-five feet The plan further shows
On the westernnost side of the foot
path width Of fourteen feet reserved
for light railway or trolley purposes.
making a total width Of land to be &C
Juired of sixty nine feet
A scheme similar to this will doubt
less control future roadmaking in Eng
and. and existing roads NAV be re
constructed on corresponding plan
One Of the chief advantages in sepa
rating the several kinds Of traffic would
be in permitting different methods Of
surfacing the roads to be used and
those best adapted to the traffic ac-
'ommOdated Another advantage would
be the lessening of the chances Of ac-
rdents. \ third advantage would be
We greater speed permissible to fast

he offered as a night feature OF en-
tertainment during the centennial.
This pageant will have a ballet of
200 foreign vaudeville artists and
numerous special features to complete

lures of the centennial. 1t is the first
time that any big fireworks spectacle
has ever been attempted upon the
water, but the development of the
fireworks business is such now that
success is assured.
Eight different conventions will be

hibit and discuss educational matters
of today and a century ago. 1t is a
big feature and numerous social fea-
lures are planned for the entertain.
ment of the teachers who will attend
the convention. AS it is an official
state affair all the teachers of the
state will be compelled to attend un-
less prevented by sickness, so that
! it is bound to be a representative
meeting of educators.
Special allegOrical floats are being
constructed for a series of land
parades which will be different in
character each week. These floats
will be fully as magnificent as those
used at the annual Rose Festival al
Portland, and the school children will
be drilled to participate in the exer.
cises by the order of the board of
education.
Specially interesting will be the op.
portunity for visitors to witness the
fishing for salmon at Astoria. There
are more than 5000 salmon fishing
craft at Astoria and the salmon fish
ing season will be open until August
20, dllOWluS ILe NlSlIOTS LO see HOW
the mighty salmon is caught and
canned. These monsters weigh as
much as 70 pounds and average about
20 pounds each. Salmon which weigh
40 pounds are numerous and it is an
excellent opportunity to see how mil
lions are made out of the salmon
catch every year.
The governors of the various states
will be invited and a number have
already accepted invitations to be
present on special days set apart for
the respective states. With their
military staffs they will be royalty
entertained and add greatly to the
social life at the centennial celebra-
ton.
Altogether, the Astoria Centennial
is to be a fitting climax to 100 years
of prosperity which has come from
the founding of this city by the sea
by a trading party sent from New
York by John Jacob Astor.
