GOOD ROADS DAY DATE.
GOVERNOR ASKS PEOPLE TO GIVE
HIGHWAYS ATTENTION.
May Twenty Fixed as Time for All
Oregon to Improve Condition
of Rural Roads.

Urging that the good roads move

has issued proclamation naming
Thursday May 20 as "Oregon Good
Roads Day." In ihis proclamation
the executive calls on all citizens to
work for the Improvement of the high
ways in their respective localities and
asks that everyone cooperate to make
the day a success.
In response to the proclamation the
schools of the state will hold good
roads exercises and the attention of
the children to the importance of
maintaining up-to-date highways, will
be called. The women of the state
are especially asked to help in OBJ
serving the day set apart. The proc
lamation reads as follows:
Whereas, good roads are one of the
prime foundations upon which our
prosperity is bulded and
/ Whereas, I am firmly convinced
that road improvement is the wisest
investment Oregon can make; and
Whereas, better roads are desir-
able not only because they are bene-
fetal from a commercial standpoint, |
but also because they promote social
community development and increase
our civic pride; and, further, as they
are the most valuable kind of encour-

The MACKENZIE ROAD
ARTERY OF TRAVEL BETWEEN
VALLEY AND EASTERN OREGON |
Tourists and SpOrtsmen Here Find a
Paradise, and Many Now Visit
Section BY Auto.

One of the most important projects
which the forest service has under
taken in road construction in Oregon,
in cooperation with the counties, is
that of the Mackenzie Highway along
the river of that name. Forty-fve
miles of this road is within the ma
tional forest boundary. This road is
one of the main arteries of travel be-
tween Central oregon and the VILLAIN
ette valley and covers a distance of
ninety-siX miles from Eugene, its
western terminus, to Sisters, on the
east side of the Cascade divide. From
Eugene to the forest boundary at Blue
River, an old mining town, there is
a fairly good county road. The coun-
ty is making improvements on this
part of tt highway, graveling in plac-
es, leveink in others, and relocating in
still others. Road construction within
the forest began in 1918, and is now
complete as far as Ishman's Corral,
within six miles of the summit and
four miles beyond Lost Creek ranger
station. Before the road on the east
slope, between the Divide and Sisters,
can be finished, much survey work
must be done. Here rough table land
will be encountered and several miles
of lava bed, which will make this
stretch of road difficult of construc-
ton. The forest service plans to make
the necessary survey this season.
The completion of the Mackenzie
highway will do much toward develop
ing the country. This road is the
principal highway for the emigrant
trains which are constantly moving
between Central Oregon and the Will
lamette valley! About as many go one
way as the other Central oregon
people claim they go to the Willamette
valley to wash their shirts, while those
in the Willamette valley say they go to
Central Oregon to dry their shirts. At
all events, the emigrant wagons keep
moving back and forth across the di-
vide, often stopping to camp and visit
as they meet enroute.
The tourist and the sportsman al
so rejoice in a road that brings them
into a country that is a paradise for
either. Two years ago it was consid- :
cred a feat for an automobile to go
over this road, but now the average :,
Is fifteen to twenty machines day
For the sportsman, the finest fishing

lie bridge, and any sportsman who
ails to make the acquaintance of this "
mighty nimrod has missed much.
stories are sometimes

more wonderful than his tales. Men u
nay fish all day and catch nothing.
Trizzell will go out and return within p
Ialf an hour with a string of fish that c
vould feed a hotel-so it is alleged.

The State Engineer, Judge Teal and
Commissioners Wells and Beckett OF
the county court and County Road
Master Finn were in independence
and reviewed a portion of Indepen-
dence-Salem road. The county court
seems very favorable to paving a mile
of this road this year and the inspec-
ton tour was for the purpose of fa-
miliarizing the state engineer with the
situation and giving him an opportuni-
ty to say whether the paving would
be advisable. AS the road is in ex-
cellent shape for paving, there is no
reason to doubt but what he will give
his official 20. K" Citizens of Inde-
pendence have promised to help pay
the cost of the paving.-Monitor.

grain bin. The cost of this will be
about So in all. For dippers use to-
mato cans, or anything suitable.
The S-foot boards are used to make
the hopper spout through which the
grain is carried. The pulleys are
placed inside the hopper spout, about
s inches from each end, and the CON
veyor belt runs over them. The
sprocket wheels are outside of the
hopper spout. The small sprocket is
on the shaft of the lower pulley, and
the power is thus transmitted from
the large sprocket wheel to the pulley
belt, to which the carrier cans are at
tached. A pointed stick at the lower
end runs into the wheat and holds
that end solid. A pointed piece IL or
16 inches long at the lower end keeps
the hopper working straight down into
the grain. The triangular frame is
used to keep the larger sprocket wheel
on. This frame is fastened to the
hopper by bolts and is shaped to fit or
the grain bin.

KEEP FALL PIGS ADVANCING
More Care Is Necessary to Good
Growth Of Animals Than Those
Farroweo in the Spring.

To keep fall pigs steadily advancing
a bit more care is necessary than is
generally essential to the good growth
Of spring -farrowed animals.
Letting fall pigs crowd is a serious
thing and always results in loss.
Warmth may be had without crowd
ing.
Feeding pigs at this season is no
serious task. Remember that large
and small should not be fed at the
same trough.
A good thick slop of shipstuff, some
soaked cracked corn and oats and we'll
cured alfalfa or clover hay well cut
and steamed will keep them thriving
Every farmer does not have this, but
he should plan TO get it, Last fall
one of the heartiest punches OF pigs
you ever saw were fed on cut alfalfa
(that had been cured green) and some
corn and oat chop. These three are a
fne combination.

FRUIT AND POTATO CELLARS
Temperature Should Be Kept as Low
as 1t Can Without lniury-Keep
Ventiators open.

Fruit and potatoes must be kept at
a uniform low temperature, as low
as it can be without injury. Close up
the windows when there is danger Of
freezing, but keep open in mild wealth
er. The changes that go on in ripen-
ing fruit generate heat and this should
be borne in mind. They also cause
the liberation of injurious gases and
when fruit is stored in cellars under
the family living rooms ample ventila-
tion should be provided. An opening
into the fiue of the chimney may an
swer if there is not much fruit in
store.
Have a thermometer in cellar and
see that a uniform temperature both
day and night is secured A warm.
damp cellar will cause rot and hot,
dry air will produce dry rot. The
house cellar should not be used for
storing large quantities of potatoes,
fruits. or vegetables, as the gases
from the vegetables, unless ample
ventilation is given, will penetrate
into the living rooms and is liable to
produce feyers and other dangerous
diseases.
Stock beets and potatoes keep bet
ter stored in pits dug in high, dry
ground. the roots first covered with
one foot Of straw and then 20 inches
of earth firmly packed down. Make
a trench around the pits to carry off
the surface water.
Potatoes stored in pits thus made
will keep sound and solid and are bet

MAKE GRAIN ELEVATOR
Cannot Be ExceIIed for Prepara-
ton of Seed.
All Parts Of Device Can Be Obtained
From Old and Discarded Maehin-
ery-TotaI Cost Is Not More
Than Five Dollars.

By obtaining belt from someone
who owns a threshing machine you
can easily make an elevator for han
ding loose grain from one bin to an
other or for sacking. The use of this
machine cannot be excelled when the
time for cleaning seed grain comes,
writes George Bersaw of Mora, Minn.,
in Missouri Valley Farmer. With it
one man can furnish steady run Of
grain into the tanning mill while the
other runs the mill. The elevator also
is handy for loading grain in wagon
box. One man can easily load 100
bushels with It in less than an hour.
To make this elevator you will need
four boards s feet long. planed on
both sides; one secondhand drive belt
8 inches wide and IA feet long; two
8 or 4 inch pulleys with shaft IL
inches long and two sprockets from an
old binder, one inches and the other
as large as you can get it for easy
drive, say IL or IA inches. Put a
crank handle on the larger sprocket
IL the elevator is to be run by hand,
or if by power arrange for a small
pulley. The drive chain to work over
the sprockets should be 8 feet long.
Also bracket irons will be needed for
placing the drive pulley on and for at
taching the entire elevator to the
