~ HE Pilot Rock Record has
VI an erroneous idea of the
report submitted by
County Surveyor Bradley in
reference to the road from
Umatilla to PendletOn. Speak
ing of the cost estimate made
the Record said:
THE total is about $4,000
with no grade over five per
cent. This estimate is based on
hard finished road and may
be considered cheap for the
road is nearly as long as that
from Pendleton to Walla Wal
Ia"
Instead of being based on a
hard surface road Mr.. Brad
ley's estimate of $4,000 was
on an unsurfaced road. In
other words the estimate mere
ly covers the cost of changing
the road, eliminating curves
and hills and grading the high
ways. If a hard surface road
of this length could be secured
for $4,000 the road problem
would be simple indeed.

stated:

IN this declaration is summed ND
the purposce of the United States in
placing in Haiti force of 22O0 ma

Admiral W. B. Caperton. who is Jus,
al present the supreme ruler in the

OPEN THE GREAT IN
TERROR.

IA ORTLAND people are
80 busy with plan for
bringing about the con-
struction of connecting rail-
road lines in central Oregon.
On the strength of a report
submitted by Robert Strahorn,
prominent railroad builder, the
move has been taken up and
success is hoped for.
If this enterprise can be car
ried through it will open to de-
velopment and settlement one
of the greatest areas in the
United States lacking railroad
facilities. Through transpor-
tation arteries flows the life
blood that makes possible the
growth and advancement of
any region. Hence the merit
in the present line of action.
In addition to the plans for
railroad building it would be
well if a comprehensive effort
could be undertaken for the
construction by the state Of a
hard surfaced highway from
the Columbia river to the Har-
ney-Malheur county via Una
tilla and Grant counties. Such
a highway would bring a yeri-
table empire into connection
with the open river with all
the benefits that would accrue
from that arrangement. With
such a highway in use the traf-
tic Of Grant, Harvey and NAL
heur counties would connect
with the railroad lines at PEN
dleton or with the Columbia at
Umatilla or Cold Springs. It
would do so because it has
been demonstrated that both
freight and passenger traffic
may be handled more econo-
mically over hard surface roads
by autos and auto trucks and
trailers than over railroads.
BY running the road to the riv-
er via Pendleton the interior
could get connection with both
the Northern Pacific and the
O.-W. R. E N. and with eastern
Washington as we'll as Port
land. The timber Of southern
Umatilla county and Grant
county could be brought here
for manufacture.
II is the belief of the East
Oregonian that if Portland peo-
pie will lend their influence
toward the construction by the
state Of such a highway the
people Of Umatilla county will

the individual Haitien win enjoy more
and better freedom than he has ever
known before. He will .at least he
free from further fear of the plum
dering brigand and the highway rob-
Der and assassin.
The American government has
gone into Haiti for a period OF ten
years for no other purpose than tc
set that government firmly upon It's
feet; to pay off and reduce its in
debtedneSs OF some $4,000. coo.
which has been created almost sole
ly for the enrichment Of its thieving
officials; to set it upon basis where
in its people may enjoy the fruits OF
their labor and live in peace, security
and comfort.
In evidence OF American good faith
it has been stipulated in the treaty
that Haitrs Independence shah be
maintained and that it shall not cede
any territory to any foreign govern,
ment whatsoever. not even to the
United States. 1t is the American
purpose to set up in Haiti sound
and stable government upon the or,
der Of that which was given TO Cubs /
following the achievement of the in
dependence OF that country as the re- /
suit OF the Spanish American war.
There were met in Cuba difficulties /
similar to those which now confront
Admiral Caperton in Haiti; but in 4
the end Cuba appreciates what was
done for it by this country, and there (
is no question that the same feeling |
will manifest itself among the Hal |
items when they once taste the pleas /
ures Of peace and good order and
commercial prosperity.
In the person of Admiral Caperton,
a Tennesseean, it is believed there has
been selected a man equal to the
emergency. Plain, modest and un-
assuming, but determined in the en-
forcement of law and order, and vita
the happy faculty of making the 9th
er man think he is doing it, Admiral
is looked to for results
where others might fail His prob
lem is both difficult and delicate,
but he has faced such situations be-
fore and is counted upon to pull the
black republic out or the mre OF
disorder in which it has no long wal
lowed.

ROME, Sept. 5.-CBy MaiD-A lit
tie girl in Italy possesses the most
wonderful doll ever seen in her part
Of the kingdom. Her name is Jol-
anda-but no-she isn't the princess
Jolanda at all Indeed she is pust
about as far-removed from the royal
family as a little girl could possibly
be. But then there is the doll-her
name is Jolanda too--Jolanda Helena
and this is how it happened.
Not long ago Armando Frassineti,
(who boasts three whole years of lifel
was playing near the barn on his
fathers farm when he fell into six
foot arm. Armando beat his arms
about and succeeded in keeping his
head above water. He screamed. His
sister Jolanda heard him. She stretch
ed herself out flat on the ground. and
by reaching down into the we'll, with
all the strength Of her five years, she
managed to grab Armando's shirt
and pull him just as he was giving
out. She is little more than a baby
herself.
Someone told the story to the Prin-
cess Jolanda. OF course she was at
once interested in the brave deed Of
her little farmgirl namesake. So she
told her mother, the Queen about it.
The Queen told one of her Court
ladies who in turn told the sub-Pre-
feet Of Imola that the Royal Prin-
cess wished to extend a few words of
praise to her namesake for her brave
deed
Also there was a doll in a specially
made case for the youthful heroine.
1t is needless to say that when the
sub-Prefect arrived carrying the doll
and charged with his regal message
there was no more important house
hold in all Italy than that Of the lit,
tie farm Frassineti.
OF course the real parsonage IL
five-year-old Jolanda, who can't quite
believe it's all true.
1t seems so like fairy tale, that
she should have this wonderful, beau.
tiful doll-the gift of princess.
