GOOD ROADS MEET
At ELLENSBURG
Annual Convention of Washing
ton Association to be Held
There Next Month

October 26 and 81 kave been set as
the dates of the annual convention of
the Washington State Good Roads
association at Ellensburg. Many
questions of Importance to the good
roads movement in Washington will
come before the meeting and will be
discussed by men prominent in this
work both in and out of the state.
One of the principal discussions on
the program will deal with the move
ment, now quite general throughout
the United States, to place the power
of apportioning the state road funds
with the state highway board rather
than leave this function to the legis-
lature as is done at present.
Another topic will be proposal to
standardize specifications for perma-
nent highways and to fix the respon-
sibility for the acceptance of any fin
ished road. The question of whether
the inspector, who is on the perma-
nent highway during it's construction,
should be man selected by the
county commissioners or an engineer
chosen by the state highway board
will also be considered.
Prominent Workers
Among the prominent good roads
workers who have signified their in
tention of attending the convention
are: T. Warren Allen, of the good
roads staff at Washington, D. c., who
will represent the federal govern
ment; A. B. Flechter, state highway
engineer of California; Sam jackson,
editor of the Portland Journal; job
Yeon, who built the Columbia High
way; A. E. Canten, state highway
engineer of Oregon and numerous
others.
The State of Washington is now
spending between 100000 and 49,
100000 year on its roads and the
present program provides for a like
expenditure for some time to come.
Thus officers Of the state good roads
organizations point out that this is
a subject which should be of marked
interest to taxpayers and citizens gen.
orally, and in notices sent out Of the
coming gathering strongly urge that
there be large attendance at the Ell
lensburg meeting, in order that the
discussions arising should take the
widest possible range.

ASTORIA BOOSTERS
STUDY SNAKE RIVER
Architect, Engineer and Steam
boat Captain Make Trip to
Lewiston

Astoria has just cause for griev-
ance at Portland, in that there has
been small inclination in the past to
work together for the commerce of
the Columbia river, says the Evening
Telegram.
This year, by the completion of
The Dalles-Cellio canal and locks a
new factor is to be reckoned with
Lewiston, Idaho, and the Snake river.
Portland joined heartily, as it us
ually does, in the celebration of sthe
wedding of the waves" welcomed ev-
erybody as prospective customers, and
forgot about the many obligations
laid upon this city as one of the high
contracting parties.
Representatives of the Astoria
Chamber Of Commerce met with the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, had
very nice time and did not get any,
where. But Astoria is alive. 1t has
recently acuired some new blood
Eastern blood and Eastern capital. It
is not too much to say that Astoria
is about the Invest town in Oregon to-
day.
This week party representing the
Port of Astoria, and including Ma
rine Architect Curtis, Engineer Hodg-
man and Captain Arthur Riggs are
spending about seven days making an
inspection of Snake river between
Lewiston and it's mouth, preliminary
to the building of steamers to be OPP
Grated between Lewiston and Astoria.
These Investigations will include
soundings and current readings at all
points where the navigation of the
river presents problems of an unus-
ual character. This data will be used
in the appeal that will be made to
congress at its next session for the
further improvement of the Snake
river.
Prior to such improvement, which
may be delayed for some time yet,
the data obtained by the Astoria in
NCSIlSdIOIS Will chduic IucHh W Duilu
class of steamboats, capable of nav
igating the Snake at all seasons Of
the year.
Astoria has built municipal docks
that would be credit to even Port
land. 1t needs business for the new
docks, and instead Of sitting down and
whining because it does not come, it
gets up and goes after it. It is the
intention to have the boats built dur
ing the winter, so that the through
service to Astoria can be inaugurated
early next spring.
The way to do thing is to do it,
and Astoria seems to have found the
way.

State Department of Agri-
culture for Last Year

For the twelvemonth period ending
July 1, 1915, 10213605 gallons of milk
and 6S0540 gallons of cream were pro-

ing July 1, 1915, is extremely favor
able. For the twenty months begin
ming November 1, 1912 and ending on
July 1, 1914, year and two-thirds,
being used as basis up to this year,
the output of milk and cream together
was valued at $5,17O,477. For the
year ending July / of this year the
combined value of milk and cream
was $4,368,892.
King County Leads
King county leads by far in both
production and value of milk and
cream. In this county, 4,727, 53S gal
Ions of milk and 319,391 gallons of
cream were produced, valued at ST.
i592.656 and $433, 916 respectively. The
figures for King county for the twelve
month period ending July 1, 1915, ex-
coed the figures for the twenty-month
period ending July 1, 1914, when A.
4S3,418 gallons of milk and 302,888
gallons of cream were reported. The
values were $1,475,543 for milk and
$495, 455 for cream.
Spokane county comes second with
1895, asa gallons of milk and 1888
gallons of cream, the milk being sold
for $684,256 and the cream for $685.
615. For the twenty months preced-
ing, Spokane county dairies produced
2,257 $50 gallons of milk at value of
$911 ,491 and 15S,075 gallons of cream,
which brought $305,913.
Production at Retail
These figures cover the production
of milk and cream which was sold at
retail, that is, the output of diaries
only. Milk and cream disposed of at
wholesale to creameries will be in
cluded in the reports of creameries
on the output of butter and cheese,
which are now coming in.

SYRACUSE, y. Y. May 14.--Wil-
lam Barnes spent two hours under
vigorous cross examination in the su-
preme court here this afternoon in
his, libel suit against Theodore Roose-
welt He was questioned about his
meetings with Colonel Roosevelt while
the latter was governor of New York,
about editorials that appeared in the

how he happened to discuss political

talked about many things, including
Senator Platt and appointments Mr..
Barnes will resume the stand on Mon
day for further questioning.
Denies Riff Raff' Talk
The former chairman of the Repub-

direct examination during the fore

told Mr.. France he could vote the
riff raff' of the Democratic party
in the Republican primaries and so
disgust the voters that they would
demand a repeal of the law.
He swOre he did not meet Mr. Loeb
in New York during the senatorial
deadlock of 1917 and tell him that he
could do nothing at that time to end
it. He swore he had never met or
seen Mr.. Murphy more than once in
his life

LONDON, May 14.-Gl:5O p. M
President WILSON, says the Daily
Chronicle, has at last spoken out
His note to the German government
is studiously courteous but it Is very
firm in substance. There IS one para
graph which will jar on British feel
ing. 1t is that in which MIR, Wilson
alludes to what he calls the humane
and enlightened attitude hitherto as
sumcd by the imperial German gov
eminent in matters Of international
right
"ln view Of Germany's flagrant vio-
lation of international right and the
laws Of warfare by sea and land, these
compliments sound strangely TO the
English ear. with this reservation
we think that the note is worthy both
Of the occasion and the great country
whence IT emanates.'
After summarizing the note the
Chronicle continues:
THE blunt language Of the note on
the indlscretions Of the German am
bassador to the United States and the
fact that the document was sent di-
rect to Berlin over his head, so to
speak, probably will make it impos-
sible for Count Won Bernstorff to
stay in Washington"
Chicago Abendpost- The conditions
which the message demands Of Ger
many and the grounds upon which
these demands are stated show clearly
and convincingly that the United
States officially stands wholly and
completely on the side Of England and
her allies.
San Francisco california; Demo-
krat.-Mr Bryan's note to the Ger
man government in our opinion, rep
resents a political impudcnCe as IL
goes far beyond its proper limits and
places the United States uunccessar-
lily in possible Implications very far
reaching in their effects.
We doubt whether a majority Of the
American people desire to be actively
drawn into the war. But Germany is
not Mexico and she will unquestion-
able draw the necessary conclusions
our country may thank Wilson and
Bryan for this situation.
ST Paul Volks Zeitung-The stand
taken by the president serves notice
on our own sO-Called leaders and the
irresponsible lingo press that this
country will not go to war without
fun Justification. Whatever
the outcome, no mater now great
the suffering and mental agony that
German Americans would undergo
there can be no question Of their loy-
atty to the stars and stripes.
Cleveland (Ohio) Wsechter Und
Anzeiger note Of the Ameri-
can government says the Lusitania
was a merchantmen. Since Germany
will be able to point to her ships
manifest showing the vessel carried
ammunition, Germany will be able to
claim the vessel was an ammunition
transport.
Everything, OF course, depends on
what the real goal is our government
is driving at. II so disposed a polite
answer defining the German view
point could certainly be accepted the
same as was Englands denying ans
wer to the American note protesting
the rights OF neutral commerce.
This would be the wisest and best.
But we cannot claim that some of
the notes sentences, especially those
towards the end encourage such
hopes
