BIG APPROPRIATIONS
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS
Eastern Washington will get $4,000
to be Used in the Making
of Better R0akS

1t is estimated that 100000 will
be available for the building of high
ways in the state this year. Under the
plan 80 per cent of the highway fund
will be expended on the east side OF
the mountains which will mean about
S640,000. The amount will be di-
vided as follows: Spokane south thru
Colfax, 100000; Walla Walla, $780,
900, to be divided on roads either east
or west of that city as may be decided
locally; Wenatchee to Reardon, (road
to Spokane) 5000. half to be spent
beginning at Reardon and working west
ward, and half to be spent working
eastward from Wenatchee. Colfax
500, 900, for Improvements of its roads
both north and south. $4,000 will
be reserved for maintenance OF this
road.
These amounts are arrived at by di-
viding according to percentage of tax
contributions based on valuations Of
property through which the highways
are to be built. Spokane gets Is pei
cent, Walla Walla 25 per cent, We
natchee IS per cent, Reardon IS per
cent, Colfax IS per cent, maintenance
five per cent. The average cost Of
graded roads is figured at $4,000 per
mile.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Yesterday was the anniversary Of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln. product of
the American frontier and one Of the
greatest presidents Of the United
States. He was a great man because
OF the simplicity Of his living and be-
cause OF the depth and sincerity Of his
thoughts. He was not looking for The
SPOT light. He was calm in his delib-
GRAFTON. His life was ore Of sublime
sadness for he was sympathetic, sym
pathetic without being sentimental
No man has ever understood human
nature more than has Abraham Lin
coin.
Printed below are some Of the max
inns of his rules Of living:
when the corduct of men is de-
signed TO be influenced, persuasion,
kind. unassuming persuasion, should
ever be adopted. 1t is an old and true
maxim, that "a drop of money catches
more flies than a gallon OF gall. So
with men. If you would win a man to
your cause, first convince him that you
are his sincere friend. Therein is
drop Of honey which catches his heart,
which, say what you will. is the great
highroad to his reason, and which,
when once gained, you will find but
little trouble in convincing his IudR- |
ment of the justice of your cause, i |
indeed that cause really be just one.

ingtonian Temperance Society. 1912.

"The way for a young man to rise is
to improve himself every way he can,
never suspecting that anybody wishes

Prominent Physician locates Here

Dr. j. IL. McVay, who purchased
from c. X. Bone last year tract of
orchard land in the Central Vale dis
trict, and who recently arrived in the
city with Mrs. McVay, will make the
Hood River valley his permanent home.
Dr. McVay, who for many years has
been a practicing physician and sur

CITY PROBLEMS

The Monday night meeting Of the
city council was an important one.
Numerous important things came be-
fore the body. Spring hasn't come
yet, but the city dads are getting busy
making preparations for street work.
We are going to have streets and we
are going to have the right kind of
streets. The appointment of con-
sulting engineer on paving, an expert
on the construction Of city highways
was step in the right direction.
The citizens of the city and valley
are glad to see the steps toward the
building of city and county detention
house for patients suffering with con-
tagious diseases. Every county needs
a building of this kind No one can
tell when a case of contagion may be
found. We need a house, in a conven-
lent location, where such patients may
be cared for comfortably.

THE PAVING SPECIALIST

When Hood River citizens read that
the council has appointed a consulting
paving engineer. they should not form
the opinion that he is going 70 receive
an enormous salary and think that the
council is extravagant in such action
The council has made definite agree
ment with Mr. Bingham, the enlgneeI
or chemist, appointed. 1t would per
hans be better to use the word chem
list. In other words, Mr. Bingham is
specialist. He deyotes his time to
solving fJr any city just such q prob
lem as confronts Hood River. He viii
make tests Of the materials submitted
and he will prevent the city from be-
ing duped by Misrepresentation. lie
does not propose TO be an engineer, IN
the sense Of the word as it is generally
understood. Hood River has engineers
of that kind, who are leaders in their
profession. However, they don't pro
pose to maintain special labratories
for the testing of material 1t is the
sim Of such men rs Mr.. Bingham to
attend to this specialized work for
them.
As Was said above the city has made
a daGpita agreement with Mr.. Bing-
ham. He will make a survey Of the
local situation and this will take about
two days. At the price Of S25 per day
agreed upon, this will amount to $50.
II the city sees fit he will be further
employed to make the tests, which will
.ost from 81 to IS each. The city is
rot going to expend any great sum for
bis work, but the money expended
will be worth the service secured.

TASMANIA TO SHIP
APPLES TO CANADA

No more will the price of apples out
of season be beyond the means of the
ordinary citizen in eastern Canada says
a dispatch from Toronto. This will be
brought about by the shipment to Can
ada during the early spring and sum
mer of apples from Tasmania.
A. Davy, one of the large apple
growers of Tasmania, has been there
in connection with the new trade to be
opened in apples between Tasmania
and Canada. The new refrigerator
system for apples which the Canadian
Australian Steamship line will Install
on their ships this coming winter will
enable the new venture to be brought
about.
Mr.. Davy says that although few
small odd shipments have been sert
over to Canada from Tasmania. the
lack of refrigerator accommodation on
the ships had prevented this being done
to any great extent. Now, however,
with the ships able to handle large
consignments, the shipment of apples
from there to Canada would develop
into a big thing. Ships properly
| equipped for the purpose often carry
as many as 10000 bushels of apples
in one shipment from Australia to
/ England.
The average crop of Tasmania is
more than 1000, 600 bushels, and Mr..
Davy expresses the opinion that with
the addition to the business which will
be brought by the new trade to be
opened up with Canada the crop yield
will within a few years be doubled.
The crop is ripe at the very time that
apples here are scarce and dear in
price. Apples can be kept in storage
for a long period, said MIR. Davy, but
they would not have the flavor that the
freshly-shipped Tasmania apples would
possess,
In Vancouver, where Mr. Davy dis
cussed the PROJECT with the apple ship
pers. they were enthusiastic over the
project, and thought it could work
both ways Tasmania shipping apples
to Canada when they were out of
season and Canada shipping apples to
the Australian commonwealth when
they were plentiful there.
The apple growers in western Cana
da told him that this seasons croI
would break all previous records.

POStmaSters May Retain Offices

masters to serve out their four years
terms, except in cases where postmas-
ters are shown to be incompetent, says
dispatch from Washington, D. G.
If this policy is followed, a large ma
jority of the presidential postmasters
in Oregon will serve for time under
the new administration. and will not
be disturbed until the close of the four
years tenure.
Postmaster J. p. Lucas, whose term
will expire June 10, 1915, falls under
this class. The salary of the local
postmaster is $1,000 per year.
