WILD HORSE ROAD
FORMALLY OPENED

This afternoon the new road build
through the Wild Horse cut was for
mally opened to the public for traf-
fic and W. NJ. Blakely, pioneer far
mer now retired. was given the hon
or of being the first to pass through
the cut in a vehicle.
While the cut was completed sever
al weeks ago. the work of macadam-
izing the road was not finished until
yesterday and hence has not been
open to traffic Because he has trav-
eled the Wild Horse road for longer
period than any living white man,
Mr.. Blakely was selected by County
Judge J. w. Maloney to be the first
TO pass through the cut which elm
mates the hard climb over the Wild
Horse hill 1t was 45 years ago that
Mr.. Blakely settled at the point now
! known as Eastland and began travel
7 ing the Wild Horse road which leads
/ to. what is now the prosperous city
! of Pendleton but which at that time
was nothing but a way point on
| stage line In those days he rode
astride a cowpony or drove behind a
! team of bronchos but today when he
went over the new road, he drove his
big new six cylinder automobile.
Behind him Judge Maloney and c.
H. Martin. the engineer who has had
charge of the work, drove in the
judges car and thereafter all other
teams and cars travelling the Wild
Horse road were allowed to shorten
their route and pass through instead
of over the hill. which has long been
a cause of complaint

At prices ranging from . S-4 cents
to 16 cents per pound approximately
100000 pounds of wool was sold at
the wool sale at Pilot Rock today, that
sale being the first of the season in
eastern oregon and therefore a sale
of unusual interest. Interest in the
sale has been particularly keen be-
cause of the tariff situation and the
prices paid indicate that the prospect
oc free wool has weakened the market
but Slightly. 1t is generally under
stood that the buyers are bidding on
a free wool basis. Yet the prices paid
lat Pilot Rock today are but approx
mately two cents a pound under the
prices given last year. This regard
less of the fact the II cent duty on
raw wool seems doomed to go.

Denver. Colo. May 23.-To save
the lives of one million babies in ten
years. To give the baby as much
chance as the tree when it comes to
a consideration of national conserva-
ton. To erect in the heart of the
Rocky mountains a babies sanitarium
where fight will be made for the
lives of thousands of little ones who
succumb every summer in the United
States to the heat, ignorance, poverty
and unsanitary conditions of the
great cities
This is the plan of Dr. Paul S.
Hunter, secretary of the Colorado
board of health. which he is today en-
deavoring to bring about. Through the
United Press, DR. Hunter today out
lined his plan, as follows:
"a babies sanitarium, located in
the heart of the Rocky mountains
would save the lives of 100000 ba-
bies every summer, or one million ba-
bies in ten years
"lf the children of the needy or
those whose parents are in moderate
circumstances were sent to such a
sanitarium when sickness attacks
them they could be attended by COM
petent physicians and nurses, given
! pure milk sanitary surroundings and
! the benefit of the wonderful noun
| tain air. The results cannot be over
estimated The very first year the in
fant mortality of the country would
| be reduced seventy-five per cent.
Colorado is the ideal spot in this
/ country for such a sanitarium because
/ of its central location and because OF
! its mountains In my judgment the
nation needs nothing more than
such a place where the lives of its
| future citizens and mothers can be
saved for it, Such plan would be
real conservation-the conservation
of human life. / do not say stop the
plan to conserve our forests and water
falls and other natural resources to
take up this plan. l merely say that
the conservation of our babies, the
saving of 1000 900 lives in ten years
is every bit. if not more important
than the saving of trees. Wha'
achievement could Colorado or the
nation ever hope to accomplish tha'
could compare with this. Could a
philanthropist donate to more
/ praiseworthy or more deserVlne
cause? What more purely nationa
project could be put through thar
the establishment of such sanitar'
ium devoted exclusively to children
and open to every baby in the coun'
try
Seemingly the lives of the little
ones are the cheapest things in ou'
modern civilization. 1t is a sad com
mentary that thousands, yes millions
of dollars are expended annually 10
the conservation of our forests an'
other national resources, while no
one cent is spent directly by the ma
tional government for the conserva
ton Of babies,'
