ing petition:
To the Hon, Henry S. Graves,
Chief Forester, Washington, D. c.
You are respectfully petitioned by
the undersigned citizens of the State
of Oregon, and others, to Immediately
complete and open to the public, that
certain trail surveyed and graded on a
five per cent grade, leading from Hood
River Valley in Hood River county,
Oregon, via Walblo pass, across the
Cascade mountains, connecting with
Portland, Salem and all Willamette
valley points and the Pacific highway
on the west side Of the said Cascade
mountains, the said road to pass down
the north or clear fork Of the Sandy
river, and passing through the Bull Run
Forest Reserve in such location so rs
not to interefer or contaminate in any
way the watersupply of the city Of
Portland, the said road to connect with
Portland, Salem and Eastern Greg Il
highways by the shortest and NEST
practical route and lowest grades,
Your petitioners feel that this road
has become a positive necessity to ,n'
cltrc H6te of Oregon, as well as an
essential rart of the Pacific highway,
than any ,tner good roads developments
now ufdcr consideration, II will be
Of great practical use to the travelling
public in Oregon as well as connect
ing link of the long distance Pacific
highway between California, Oregon
and Washington, and win open a
strange and beautiful scenic route seen
nowhere else in the world.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1914-02-04

This road would have been opened to
the public use several years ago by
the United States government hut for
the action Of few mistaken men on
the water board Of the city Of Portland
who objected to the opening Of said
road ON tho grounds that it would con
taminate Portland's water supply.
However, the facts in the case prove
plainly that they did not know what
they were talking about, nor do they
now, and they act accordingly.
The road passes through Waldo pass,
~ miles southeast of Bull Run lake,
the fountain head Of Bull run river.
Portland's water supply more than
1000 feet lower than the watershed
between the lave and the road. And
it would be impossible for drainage
from this road to reach the lake.
When this road is built it viii facil-
ltate the guarding Of the reserve,
Guards on motorcycles can thoroughly
patrol IL hourly II necessary and the
U, s government has pse for the road
and it will build II without expense to
Oregon.
Commissioner Daily Of the Portland
Water Board is opposing the road, lie
claims l2s square miles for the reserve
There is a large area Of decided land

Four-Footed Poultry.

A certain old man in the Wynchope
settlement, named Buckley, was ex-
ceedingly fond Of big words" He
was riding hi horse over the country
one bright spring day, apparently in
tent on some important business.
Whenever he met anybody, he grave
ly asked: Have you seen anything Of
any stray poultry today? I've lost
mine, and am hunting it." When they
told him NO" he would proceed on
his way.
After spending several hours in
what seemed to be a vain search, he
at last rode up to the door Of a farm
house and called: "Hello!" A lady
came to the door, and doffing his hat
very politely, the old man inquired II
she had noticed any stray poultry
round?"
After a moments thought, the wom-
an told him she had seen no chickens.
oh" he reDlied, its my hogs that
I've lost-not my chickens. Youths

10 Once More Held as Valid
Case From Oklahoma.

Jefferson City.-The time when the
suspension of an act of the legislature
by the invoking Of the initiative and
referendum laws takes place Was ar
gued in case submitted to the su.
preme court.
The validity of the recent local-op-
tion election at Mexico. AuGrain com.
ty, was the question M for argument.
The case Is a mandamus proceeding
instituted by George Robertson to
compel the Audrain county court and
clerk to issue dramshop license to
William Kemper Of that city on the
grounds that the election which made
Mexico "dry" was. invalid. The appii-
cation attacks the legality Of the elec.
tion on the theory that the county
unit law passed by the last legislature
had not been suspended by the filing
of referendum petitions against 1t,
and. If 1t was in force at the time OF
the election. enough Illegal votes were
cast to void the result.
Mr.. Robertson for the vets contend
ed that the mere filing of referendum
petition does not cause automatic
suspension of the act attacked. Sus-
pension comes only after the official
announcement OF the secretary Of
state that he has found the sufficient
number of signatures to submit the
proposition to a referendum vote, he
argued. decision on this point Is
expected later.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's tho Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease'-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago was a great cot.
fee drinker and from its use be.
came SO nervous l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply.
sician l consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being SO welded to the bev-
erage l did not see how ! could do
without 1t, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On a visit, my friends deprived mo
Of coffee to prove that 1t was harm
full. At the end of about eight days
! was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, 80 ! went back
to the old habit as soon as ! got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making wreck OF me.
II heard of Postum and decided to
try it. l did not like 1t at nrst, be-
cause, as l afterwards discovered, 1t
was not made properly. / found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, 1t was delicious.
1T had soothing effect on my
nerves, and none Of the bad effects
that coffee had. so bade farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account OF
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."
