ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM.

County Commissioners W. c. Lever and Frank Madden
of Jackson county, protesting to the state highway
commission against the road building methods Of
Engineer Bowby They say that although the county had
bonded itself for $500000 to build its 81 miles of the state
highway only 1412 miles of paving and IA miles of grad
ing have been completed with $S2 900 of the original
unexpended They say when the bonds were issued ii
was believed that with 100000 from the state the entire
stretch Of road could be graded and paved
Here is another of blasted hopes The big bond
issue will draw interest for years to but the roads of
Jackson county will be better than they were before
voted possibly in their unfinished condition they may
be worse.
Road building in Oregon seems to have reached stage
where it is merely scramble, and sometimes row. be-
tween hightoned, incompetent engineers and grating
contractors to which get the larger share of the
bond money voted by hoodwinked taxpayers Not single
road bond issue in Oregon has served the purpose was
intended for and every has left legacy of bad debts
and bad roads behind,
The state highway fund raised by general tax of one
fourth of MILL and approXmating $240000 annually is
being handled in some respects good deal like these
county bond issues When is expended there is little in
the way Of improved roads to show for it. For instance
the state highway board is reported to have pledged $780,
600 to Hood River county to build and tunnel and grade at
MithcePs point on the Columbia river in order to give
tourists glimpse OF rare scenery"
The main trouble seems to be with our present system
of building roads is that boosters for good roads bonds
are thinking more of the opportunity to spend lot of
money than they are of the roads it to be expended upon

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS
AND FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist


AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles, l have been forced to
the conclusion that most people wh)
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The rc,l trouble, hat
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in tho stomach, ag.
gravated by food fermentation Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining Of
the stomach and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stomach
abnormally, causing that full bloated
feeling. Thus both acid and fermenta-
tion interfere with and retard the pro-
cess of digestion. The stomach is usual
ly healthy and normal, but irrit0ted al
most past endurance by these foreign
elements-acid and wind. In all such
cases-and they comprise over 80 pei
cent of all stomach difficulties-thc
first and only step necessary is to neu
tralize the acid and stop the fermenta.

adopted to irrigate arid threats since
this State went dry last July, but the
most startling was one revealed today
when promoters of a fake funeral
came to grief.
A hearse and a black casket were
used in the plot. Waiting at a local
railroad station were two vehicles, the
hack containing three mournful-faced
men. From a passenger train stepped
a yelled woman CARRIED in deep black.
At the same time a child's casket was
removed from the baggage car.
As the woman walked toward the
waiting hack to join the three men,
the crowd gazed at her in compassion
and there a a murmur of sympathy
as station employees started to carry
the little casket toward the hearse.
Just as the white receptacle con-
tanning the remains" was being lifted
to be deposited in the hearse the bot.
tom dropped out. To the astonish-
ment of the onlookers quart, pint and
half-pint bottles fell with a smash tc
the sidewalk.
The black-gowned woman gave vent
to her feelings by uttering a word de.
scriptive of a region supposed to be
even drier than West Virginia. The
entire funeral party were arrested
The plan was actually to bury "the
child" in a grave that had already
been dug and then go to the cemetery
at night and disinter the "body".
