Columbus, o., March 11.--iWhether
an entirely new constitution VIII be
submitted to the people or only sep
,arate amendments, is the question
which 1t is expected viii occupy the
constitutional convention at It's ses-
sion this evening The Bigelow fac
ton Is said to favor the latter policy
believing that the present constitution,
IN the main, is satisfactory, and that
each proposed change should be con-
sidered strictly on its merits without
helping or hinderng the acceptance
Of any other change. Authors OF many
OF the minor proposals, however, see
thar the only chance for the accept
ance Of their Ideas lies in framing an
entirely new Constitution.
Adoption Of the plan for separate
submission woula greatly shorten tho

nor for that matter abroad, can a NOR
scenic location be found for a highwa.

government from Lost Lake aroun'
the base Of the wonerful Mount Hoot
to a point where streams from
the Sandy gIacer find thii
source. Government officials, wh'
know the situation will endorse the
proposed appropriation. Every man 10
the Valley should take an interest 10
the proposed means Of securing the
money for the construction of the
road. and communicate with friends in
Congress. Every expressed favorable
sentiment will have its weight
Some day, not so far hence, both
the Columbia River and the Mountain
way will be completed. However, the
expense Of their construction must not
be borne by any one community. 1t
would be well to secure from the gov
ernment an appropriation for the Col
umbia road. By all means it should be
a state road and built by money raised
from the state at large for when it is
completed it will be the link Of a
national East and West highway and
not mere connecting Hood River and
Multnomah counties.

Loans Without Interest.

In the city of Barcelona, Spain, there
is peculiar pawnbroking establish
ment bearing the dainty name OF Our
Lady of Hope" where loans are made
without interest to necessitous per.
sons ON the deposit of any articles in
pledge Two-thhds of the value of
the deposit is at once advanced, and
the loan is made for six months and
a day, but If at the expiration of that
period the depostor should declare
himself unable to redeem it, after an
other period of six months the pledges
are sold, hut If they yield more than
the amount advanced the difference is
given to the original owner. This in
stitution is very popular Thousands
are every year suitors for the favor
thus afforded by Our Lady of Hope"

PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

The organization of parents and
teachers of the county's public schools,
The Home and Teachers Association,
seems to be reaping benefits, as IT
should. 1t is too often the case that
parents and teachers never see each
other or merely form conventional
acquaintaneeship. The meetings of the
recently organized society make it
possible for them to be drawn together,
and they are enabled to express to each
other their views and ideas as to the
needs of the youngsters. These meet
lngs should not be too formal, if the
best results be derived from them.
And as to the relationship of teacher
and pupil, the teacher that has the
greatest respect and admiration among
the students is the one that exerts over
them personal influence and creates
a feeling of confidence. The boy or
girl, as the case may be. feels that in
the instructor he or she has a sympa-
thetic friend, and the lessons are
learned and the tasks performed with
three fold avidity s

Enaland's Great Wall.

Directly across the north Of Eng
land, between points near Carlisle and
Newcastle, ran IIadrian's wall, the
northern boundary of the Roman EN-
pire. 1t is generally supposed to have
been erected by the Emperor Hadrian
between III and 1873 A. d. The wall
was of stone and was eight feet thick
and twelve feet high. 1t was guarded
by eighteeR military stations gar
risoned by cohorts of Roman soldiers,
and at intervals of a mile were forts
built to contain eighty men each Be
tween every two forts were four watch
towers. South Of the stone wall was
series Of earthen ramparts, and be-
tween the two ran the great military
road still in use as a highway OF
this vast work comparatively few por-
tons remain, matter Of wonder, per
haps, when one sees the solidity OF
the sections of the wall which still
stand, but easily explained by the fine
stone walls in the immediate vicinity

My advice to husbands who wish to
avoid divorce is this Don't quote

business and ask how she is and tell
her that you called her up Just to hear
her voice. Take her d box of candy,
one of the new books that she is in
terested In, a flower, even If it is
faded and you have picked it up off
the street; a pretty pin OF handker-
chief, and don't ever lay your head ON
your pillow at night without having
done something 10 gain and obtain a
tirmer hold on your wife's love, Kiss
her every day. At least once a month
meet her downtown and take her to
dinner and the theater Don't ever

RInnNG ANn MAINTAING ROADS

The building Of roads is one thing
and their maintenance another. as was
clearly pointed out last week at the
meeting Of the Commercial club by
Prof. Ayres, Of the faculty Of the Ore
gon Agricultural College Prof Ayres'
Speech was interesting from the fact
that it presented in a straightforward
manner the scientific methods Of road
construction. The correction Of the
prevailing idea that all roads, to be
any good sc all. must be macadam
should be disseminated. If communi-
ties were overhowing with money to
expeud a reasonable amount Of il
on road construction would be a
commeudable thing. Howevoy, when
we can make other and far
cheaper roads that will answer cur
purposes for q long time to come just
as well as macadam, why should the
heavy expenditures for the macadam
be made?
Il is well to have good roads. The
citizen Of the rural district as well as
the city man should be educated 10 the
point where he will see that any ex-
penditure Of money for such purposes,
along broad lines, even state and
nation wide, will be the means Of ere
atiag immediate ard direct returns
Macadam roads will be built, but their
construction should take place only
where they are most needed When
they are done. the road builder should
not think his work finished. Those
roads of the different communities,
where the traffic, perhaps, is not 50
heavy, should not be overlooked. They
should be properly graded. If they
have not originally been located along
grades Of convenient per centage, they
should be changed. And once graded
they should be watched and carefully !
maintained. II improper drainage is |
allowed to exist, it will be but a short
time until the entire roadbed will have
to be reconstructed.
Prof Ayres brought out we'll the
point to the effect that a permanent |
road was never built When a com
munity constructs macadam road, in
order to secure the best results from
its expenditure, "A competent and care
full supervisor must make frequent |
inspections and repairs to the road.
The tiniest hole may be started, In
five minutes it may be repaired. How
ever, if allowed to go for week, it
may be beyond effective repair.
Rural communities too often do not
take sufficient interest in the building
of their highways. They fail to realize
that there is no more beneficial institu-
tion than the we'll laid out and convon-
lent highway and the building of the
road is left to the supervision of men,
who, not taking proper interest and
without proper qualifications, do not
secure the best roadways.
Roy d. Smith, who attended the
Of the Commercial club when
the good roads address was delivered
by the o. a. c. expert, by his endeav-
DIS to secure information on the proper
methods of road building, manifests
spirit that should result in better
highways.

TIE CAMPAlGN YEAR

We were told a political fable last
week, the moral of which may be dis
appointing to some, but which we are
sure will be good cheer to the optimis-
tic. The fable deals with the Pres-
Dental Campaign Year. 1t seems that
the beasts and fishes of the earth were
called together by the Lion, the Tiger.
the Jackass and the Elephant every
fourth year to choc1e their leader. At
certain meeting it was decided not
only to elect the ruler, but to aodpt a
resolution, submitted by the Jackass
and which read as follows: Resolved,
That ON every fourth year, when the
ruler is elected, all the beasts, birds
and fishes are expected to live on half
ratiou8 for with bemoaning the direful
things that will happen to our realm
when the new chief takes his seat, we
will only have half Of our time to think
of ourselves and provide for our well
being. The bees alone refused to
harken to the brayng and boldly stated
that they considered that the buck
wheat would have just as much honey
on a presidential year as any other.
and that they were going to get it.
The fable. which was written by viii
liam l.. Brownell. has the following
moral.
eve believe the average business
man of this country to be sane Opt.
mist. We believe whoever may be the
next nominal ruler of this country and
no matter either how great or how
good he may be, that the People will
still continue to be bigger than any one
man and that just so long as the busi-
ness men of the country think prosper
ity and also diligently work to that
end, that it will make no appreciable
difference who happens to be drinking
the milk from the White House Cow "
The bees drew the wise conclusion.
Mr.. Brownel The honey will be there
for the optimistic hustler. Hood River
has "oodles, to use that good old
expressive slang word, of optimistic
hostlers and they are going to bring
in the bacon during this year of 1912.
