THE CHAIN Is NO STRONGER
THAN ITS WEAKEST LINK.
Pendleton, Ore, May 6, IL


The weakest link in the article
which Mr.. Robert j. Linden publish
ed in the Live Wire on May 3rd, is
the statement that the Gravel Btu
lithic Pavement is laid on a loose
gravel base. This shows his utter
lack of knowledge of Gravel Btu
lithic construction. AS a matter of
fact the Gravel base Is mixed with
Bitumen and placed on the street at
temperature of about ESQ degrees
Fahrenheit and compressed by roll
ing with heavy steam roller. The
surface is prepared in a similar man.
ner and the finished street is a solid
monolithic pavement.
The statement also reads: 81 will
not discuss the qualities of this pave
ment, nor will l compare it with a
pavement resting upon an immov-
able foundation of concrete"
Well, from the above statement
judge that the party knows very lit
tie about Gravel Bitulithic and also
that it is a good thing not to try to
compare the qualities of the two
pavements, for one would find him
self floundering in deep water to find
a scientific argument in favor of the
rigid pavement compared to the elas-
tic resilient pavement.
Here are a few missing links in
the afore mentioned article. 1t
speaks of contracts awarded in Port
land This I am forced to contra
dict, as no such contracts have been
awarded and 1 have certified letters
from city officials of Portland to that
effect.
1t also says, "Bitulithic was S21O
per sd. yard, and csc per yard ad-
ditional for five years maintenance"
The price, as the fact stands, was
.$2.0O per so. yard with no mainten-
ance charge.
The article states again that Btu
lithic patents are in the hands of the
Standard Oil Co. This is absurd as
the patent is not on a Bituminous
Cement, or the article pertaining to
oil but is on the mineral aggregate
mixture which is the grading and
mixing of the rock and sand itself.
I wish to state in this connection that
the Warren Bros. have manufactured
Asphalt and Bituminous Cement for
the past thirty years. laid asphalt
pavement for nearly twenty years be-
fore the invention of their famous
Bitulithic Pavements, and have laid
Eitulithic for the past eleven years
And when they guarantee to turn
street over at the end of five years
use in a perfect condition, you can be
sure they will be here to fulfill their
contract and will not have dissolved
and blown to the four winds before
the time has expired.
The citizens of Pendleton do not
have to leave their own city to see
sample of the high class pavement
laid by the Warren Brothers Co.
Main and Court Streets having been
laid for six years are in perfect CON
dition
Therefore in summing up I will say
that the chain of thought displayed
in the newspaper article under con-
sderation, contains many very weak
links and several links are missing
entirely on the grounds of misunder-
standing of real facts as set forth in
the article.

The amount represents alleged back

Seasonable Advice on the
Health of Children in Hot

Mothers should be careful not to
overfeed children during the hot
months. No one requires as much
food in summer as they do in cold
weather Serve only the lighter and
more easily digested foods, and see
that the milk is kept cool and the
fruit ripe.

laxative at bed time will, in most
cases, carry off the congested waste
from the stomach next morning and
by cleaning the bowels restore normal
conditions.
Cathartic remedies and purgatives
should never be used for children.
They are harsh and violent in their
action and tend to upset the entire

laxative herbs and pepsin, known as

MAY SOW WILD RICE
TO HELP IMPROVE
DUCK SHOOTING

AS the results of an experiment
made by Jack Cherry O.-W. r. & n.
conductor on the Umatilla-Pendleton
motor car, the sloughs and swales of
Umatilla county may be sowed to
wild rice during the next few years
by sportsmen in an endeavor to i'm
prove the duck and goose shooting.
A pound of this seed which Conduc-
tor Cherry sowed near the bridge at
Pilot Rock Junction has produced a
thick stand and, inasmuch as 1t is
reputed to be the best duck food
known, sportsmen are expecting to
have fine shooting at that point this
year.
Believing wild rice to be adapted
to the climatic conditions of this
county, Mr.. Cherry sent for a pound,
which by the way cost him $1.35, and
sowed 1t about the slough at the
bridge near Pilot Rock Junction and
the success of the experiment is said
to be remarkable. AS a result sports
men have signified an intention or
calling the attention of the game as
sociation to II in the hopes that that
organization will take steps toward
sowing 1t in other similar localities.
