Working in conjunction with the
State Tax commission, Governor West
is collecting extensive data on the
good roads work now being done
by the different counties In Oregon
since 1906. This data will be used
for educational purposes. Each coun-
ty will be shown In black and white
what every other county iu the state
has paid out for good roads. In this
way 1t is thought the backward
counties will be spurred on to better
efforts and the progressive ounties be
enthused to greater achievements.
The plan of this series of investiga-
tions is to get from each county wha
has been expended each year for the
past five years for roads, highways
and bridges the total funds expended
for these purposes jointly for each
year. and the totals for Eve years.
The same items of expenditure on the
part of the state will be shown. The
results will be prepared and given out
as soon as the counties report.

Since the tiller of the soil does most
of the grunting and sweating in con-
nection with produce consumed by the
millions of mouths of the country it is
an illuminating commentary on the
system of distribution in vogue, that
in spite of all his labors, he gets Eut
35 cents of the dollar which the con-
sumer pays for his produce. 1t is this
very situation that is responsible for
the establishment in many larger oit-
les Of the country markets where pro-
.ducers and consumers can meet and
trade.

to be taken into the enterprise, and it
is suggested that the road between
Weston and Milton be next given at
tention. With the improvement COM
pleted as contemplated. one of the
best roads in the state would traverse
the East End and extend beyond the
Garden CITY into Walla Walla coun-

the road between this city and Pendle-
ton Eastern Oregon would be on the
map after a fashion, in the latest
method of permanent road making.

Under the state law, the fish COM
mission may close any stream it may
see at for the propagation of fish or
the Restocking of streams. That as
little hardship as possible may be en-
tailed upon the anglers of the state.
the State Game Warden believes that
some of the upper small tributaries
of the rivers would be the best local
tiles for planting the young trout,
and the closing Of these tributaries
for period of two or three years
would serve to thoroughly restook
the main stream. The idea is cap
ital one, and il followed will doubt
less solve the fish question.

In years past much Of the work done
by agricultural colleges has failed to
confer the largest possible usefulness
because of the rigid and quite exact
ing requirements for admission to the
agricultural courses. in many cases
the equivalent of high school course
being necessary. Within the past two
years several leading agricultural
schools, realizing this fact, have pro
vided for two.year agricultural
short course, which is open to all
young people who have had the
branches taught in the average coun-
try school. knowledge of which
would be necessary for satisfactory
progress in the courses offered. The
benefit which would result fiom thus
throwing these practical aud helpful
courses open to greatly increased
number Of young men and women can
hardly be estimated, 1t will mean
the realizing of maximum value from
practical type of instruction that Is
offered in schools today.

AS usual, the Athena merchants are
making arrangements to carry large
holiday stocks. In years past, the To-
cal tuyer has found 1t unnecessary to
leave town to do his Christmas shop
ping and this year will be no exeep-
tion. Local merchants will carry the
lest line OF holiday goods that money
can purchase. while prices will be
found as low as the lowest. In few
days holiday goods will Ee on display
aud then buyers will be enabled to
get line on what is offered to the
trade this season.

It is to be hoped the verdict of the
primaries will result in the selection
of Congressional candidate from this
district, who will be endowed with Ca
pabilities and influence vf sufficient
force who, in event of his election will
be able to shake off the "jinks" which
has haunted the state for decade or
more--a hoodoo Lorn Of ossifed, Off
cial inactivity. 'Tis an alluring op-
porCunity for some brawny, energetic
man, conversant with the needs of the
state and especially those of the East
ern portion of it. to assume the role
of Moses and lead long. suffering
constituency out of the mire of in
efficacy in which it finds itself
through the fault of pickering poll
ticians and mediocre craftsmanship,

Oregon has been permitted. to produce.

thing Oregon has acquired lin recent
years is bunch of federal office |
buildings and a tola bola laugh from
the gallery habitues in the halls of
Congress. Everything is left for him
to do, for nothing has been done before |
him. Eastern Oregon's thousands of
acres of unclaimed and unwatered
lands still simmer beneath the rays
Of pitiless desert sun, while the lands
of other states blossom as the rose un-
