DUPONT BOULEVARD SURVEY
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

valuation of a large percentage of
the taxable property. Furthermore,
it is now estimated that the cost of
constructing the boulevard willGex-
ceed by half a million dollars the
amount General DUPONT. first con-
templated spending for that purpose.
And finally, it may be said, that in
trying to secure his right of way as
reasonably as possible, General Du-
Pont is doing only what anyone else
in like circumstances would do. For
these reasons, we hold that General
Dupont should not be held strictly
to literal Interpretation of his an
swer to Mr.. Collision. In a great
project of this kind we should deal
literally with the man who con-
ceived it and who proposes to spend
large sum of his own money for
its realization.
Folly of the State Building Boulevard
''It is folly to talk about the State
building the boulevard. In the first
place it is extremely doubtful if the
Legislature would ever be brought
to an agreement to spend a million
and half of dollars for such a pur-
pose. The contentious over the
route of such a road would be
sufficient to defeat it, and a bond
issue for the purpose would involve
a general increase of taxation all
over the State, which would incite
bitter opposition from those who live
remote from the line of the road,
and who would on this account un-
wisely regard the enterprise as of
no benefit to them. These are some
of the reasons-and there are others,
political, factional and personal
which support the belief that the
Legislature would never he permit
ted, or at least not for many years
to come, authorize an undertaking
of such gigantic proportions. Every
Evening makes much of the argu-
ment that General DUPONT will not
be entirely without recompense for
the public highway which he pro.
poses to construct and turn over tC
the State, and says he is bound tc
secure a return of some kind for his
road project. Well, why shouldn't
he? For our part, we shall be glad
to see him make as much money
out of the project as he puts in it,
or more. No one would be the Loser
thereby and it will be generally
admitted, we think, that the best
sort of investment is one by which
no one makes a loss. If therefore
no one suffers loss by the construc
tiOn of the boulevard, does it no
seem like dog in the manger spiri
/ for those who do not directly prof
thereby to object to the road on tina
account? As a matter of fact, how
ever, it is quite probable that every
body in the State will profit by tht
J building of the boulevard, eithe
directly or Indirectly.
Time to Kick Was Before Legislator,
'And after all, the time to sa,
the things Every Evening is nov
saying was when the proposition wa
before the General Assembly, AM
the time not to say them is the pre-
sent time. They would have bee
in order last winter, for it is vel
to look at public question fror
all sides, even from the unreasonabl
sides, but objection is not in orde
: now for it can do no good, and viii
: only add to difficulties that ar
already sufficiently formidable.

HIGHEST TEMPERATURE
IN FIVE YEARS
O.. \. c. Weather Man Says July and
August Records Showed High
Average.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore.-The highest mean tenn
p%erature since 1860 is shown in the
weather bureau records for the past
two months, according to w. L. Pow
ers, weather observer at the oregon
Agricultural College. The maximum
temperature in July touched 100 for
the first time during the Julys of
three years past, and this is the
fourth only time in twelve years that
it has run so high in July. In Au-
gust the highest point was on the
9th, when it went up to 90. The
lowest point for the month was As,
on the 18th, making the mean for
the month $50 which is above nor
NAL. The greatest daily range was
40 degrees. In July the greatest
range in m day was on the 23rd,
when the weather changed 81 degrees.
On July Sth it was down to 80, and
on the 10th, a week later, UP to 100.
The mean for the month was 69.2,
which was 80 above normal.
The large amount of hot, dry
weather in July and strong breezes
caused rapid loss of soil moisture,
so hat the moisture content of soil
in meadows reached the drought
point, and sod was badly fired by the
middle of the month, while cultivat-
ed crops began to suffer severely be-
fore the end of the month. Evapor-
alton from a water surface. Prof.
Powers explains, reaches "a maximum
in July. The surface soil dries out
then to a point where upward move
ment of moisture is choked off, and
the loss is very gradual from then
on. The total evaporation from a wa
ter surface in July was 5.53, and in
August $50 inches.
The precipitation in July was but
.03 inch, which is .25 less than nor
NAL. This makes the deficiency in
rainfall for the year thus far PSI
inches, up to the n of July. In
August there was a precipitation of
90 of an inch, 40 below normal,
making the total rainfall to date 41.17
inches and the years deficiency 2.30
inches.
Only 1 cloudy day is recorded for
July, while 6 We're partly cloudy and
"a clear. In August the proportion
was 1 cloudy day, 3 partly cloudy,
and - clear.
We have had very ordinary wea-
Their this past month" said Mr.. Pow
ers, discussing the report. 1T was
a little dryer and warmer than usual.
The amount of clear weather is about
normal, while the mean temperature
is the highest since 1906. The rain
fall is below normal, but not at all
exceptional for August, as about one
year in five there is no rain in Au-
gust"
