London, Jan. 1.-THE voting of the
coal miners in all the districts
throughout the United Kingdom shows
an enormous majority in favor of a
strike, and there is every indication
that the needful two thirds majority
will be obtained. However, it is still
uncertain whether strike viii be
voted Strong influences are being ex-
erted or both sides to avoid con-
fict.
The ballot is to decide whether no
tice shall be given of strike to be-
gin March 1. Men demand fixed
minimum wage. The leaders of the
Miners Federation are opposed to the
movements.

OF WORLD
HAVE NEW QUARTERS

The local lodge of the Woodmen
of the World is just completing the
fitting up of palatial lodge quarters
in the Calvert block, the rooms on
the upper floor having been remod'
eled along the most approved lines
for the intended purpose, the built
in features and paraphernalia rooms
being especially up-to-date and con
venient.
The main lodge room has been
richly carpeted and furnished, and
an electric lighting system installed
with particular reference to. its use
in lodge work. The large banquet
room. with connected kitchen, will
be supplied with all the needed
things for this necessary adjunct to
present-day lodge life and the social
feature Of the lodge work will be
made particularly attractive. The
floor of the banquet hall will be pol
ished, and with the tables removed,
it will serve a double purpose as a
ball room with a perfect floor sur
face.
The Woodmen held their first
meeting in the new hall Friday
night, though its formal dedication
will not occur till the evening of Fri
day, December 18th, when invita-
tions will be issued to all the lodges
that will use the new hall to join
with the Woodmen in social ses-
sion when attractive entertainment
will be provided.

MAYOR ADVISES NUT
BEARING SHADE TREES


To the Editor Of the Courier, Dear
Sir. Allow me through the
Courier TO make a suggestion con-
cerning the planting OF shade trees
as the season now approaches. ln-
stead of maple and locust trees that
give only shade, suppose we plant
trees that will provide shade and
produce an income Suppose We plant
nut trees, walnut. pecan and almond.
What better heritage could be pro-
yided for the children than avenues
lined with trees producing a harvest
OF almonds, walnuts and pecan nuts.
We know that Walnuts and al
mOnds will grow and bear here. In
the Willamette valley they are plant
ing thousands OF acres OF walnuts. In
California the nut crop brings in
more money now than the orange
crop. The most valuable nut OF all
is the pecan nut, the cultivated var
ieties being sold by the grower for
40 to 80 cents per pound. These
fine quality nuts never reach this
coast. We get only the poor, little
nuts gathered from the wild trees.
From investigating, l am positive
many varieties OF paper shell pecans
will grow and bear abundantly in
this climate and in our soil. The
varieties would recommend are the
Mantura, described in the yearbook
of the United States department Of
agriculture for 1901 page 3l9, the
stuart and Van Deman, described
in the yearbook for 1904, pages 414
and 415, the Schley, AppomattoX and
moneymaker. These have all been
tried in colder climates than ours. OF
walnuts, the varieties in the william
.ette will thrive here, but / believe
the Pomeroy walnut which originat-
ed at Rochester, New York, and is
pronounced OF the highest quality
thin shelled and good size, would be
the best because it blooms later than
the Franquette and varieties raised
on this coast.
In almonds, we need a late bloom
er and such can be had | have
heard of a seeding that originated
at Ashland that seems to be all that
is desired. In the south thousands
of acres are being planted TO pecans
and California is constantly increas-
ing her acreage of nut trees. The
freight rate does not take all the
profits. There is a vast difference
between shipping nuts that brin5
ten to 80 cents a pound and apples
that sell for three cents. Nuts are
shipped in sacks and the expense is
much less than the boxes required
for fruit. A nut orchard will come
into bearing quicker than an apple
orchard, providing r. is grated or
budded trees that are planted None
other should be used.
Mr.. Burke, formerly fruit inspec-
tor, informs me that he has some
walnuts that bear nuts the first and
second year after planting The i'm
portant point is to plant only graft
ed or budded trees, and northern
grown trees are preferable.

But you must take into consdera-
tlon that the specifications followed
In street and road building in your
city and county are in use in sections
Of the country where soil conditions
are entirely different from your own
This mistake has been made for
years In many cities and counties of
our country and Europe For years
New York thought it necessary for
the construction of good streets to
use twelve inches of foreign mater
ial. Today they are constructing
more enduring streets with one-half
the material Now other cities are
following suit after realizing that
millions of dollars have been vast
ed through ignorance OF the true sit
uatlon. Your soil naturally cements
together into a compact mass after
rains, when the sun comes out.
Keep water away from your soil and
you have a superior road material

TWO inches in thickness. When you
have it rolled 70 a compact mass,
neat your bituminous binder and at
800 degrees pour on after the pene-
trat.on method, about two gallons
to the square yard Now, after sew
eral days, the road surface becomes
completely set. If you give it a
thin dressing OF pea gravel and a
finish squeeze coat of bituminous
binder put on not, you have a COM
plete. finished street or road at about
two-thirds less COS, than with the
present method OF construction; or,
in other words, with the same mon
ey you will be able by this method
10 build almost three times as much
street and road. This common
sense method, based on natural laws,
gives you a roadway the life Of
which is far greater and the cost OF
maintenance reduced to a minimum.
There is no comparison between
It and water bound macadam. 1t is
so much superior that it outshines
It as the diamond does the spurious
stone. But If you desire to protect
your road ways, you must stop the
traffic of heavy weight traction en-
glnes, the wheels of which cut mp
your roadway. The loss to taxpayers
is entirely too great to permit this
traffic that means destruction to a
hard. smooth surface road. Great
trucks carrying a large tonnage with
trailers are now constructed with
rubber tires that do no injury to
roadways and this class Of machine
is far speedier than the old fashion
ed traction engine. Automobile
traffic over this class of road has the
effect of scarcely no perceptible
wear This is the road without the
shadow Of a doubt of economy. It
gives one pleasure to travel over It
at all times, under all climatic con-
ditlons 1t becomes the greatest ad-
yertiser Of your country that you can
possibly enlist in your behalf.
