itself confronted not only with war

Some doubt is expressed whether this
additional handicap will not cause

for what It needs? 1t cannot do with

the war is continued Its only course

One theory that British bankers
were allowing the pound to slump in
the expectation that British holders
of American securities would be
tempted by the 5 per cent gain
through the fall in exchange to sell
our stocks which could be used to
establish credit here is not borne out
by the facts. There seems to be no

overcome the conviction that America

When man has a sure cure for
something or other he has to pick
out a few choice organs to recon-

organs. But the ''liver regulators"

Small Loans Aid Kaiser

BERLIN, May 6.-The great loan
just brought out by the German gov
eminent called out the small capi.
talists in numbers never heretofore
heard of in the flotation Of a public
loan. When more than $4,000 Ger
mans offered subscriptions of 1000
marks (s476) and less for the Sep
tember loan, this was regarded as es-
peelally eloquent testimony to the pa
triotic enthusiasm of the great mass
es of the German people. But the
March loan has a far more remark
able participation of the small capi-
talists. Not less than 2,1I3,22O sub
scribers to it are taking amounts of
S476 and less, and $4,000 of these
made subscriptions of S4S or under.
The total number of subscribers to
the loan was 2,691,O6O; and as the
total amount Of money subscribed was

tion was 1901.

PATROLMAN ON ROAD WILL
KEEP HIGHWAY IN SHAPE
PRlNEVILLE MITCHELL ROAD
WILL BE MAINTAINED BY
FOREST SERVICE.

An innovation which the forest SER
vice has planned for this summer Is
the placing of a patrolman on the re-
Gently completed Prineville- Mitchell
road in the ochoco forest in central
Oregon. This idea is copied from a
foreign country and is known as
maintenance patrol"
The patrolman will drag the road
periodically, keep ruts filled, bitches
open, weeds out brush down, and
look after such work as will keep the
road open and smooth fer traffic. In
fact, his duties will be similar to those
Of section man on a railroad. It is
certain that the close attention OF
one man will keep the road in such
shape that there will be an economic
saving that that will more than justi-
fy the expense.
This Mitehell-Prineville road forms
the connecting link between Prineville
and the John Day watershed in north
eastern oregon. The thirteen miles
which was built by the forest service
extends across the national forest
from the ochoco ranger station to
the Beaver ranger station. In building
this road, the service located it two
hundred feet lower than the old
route, and also reduced the maximum
grade from 20 per cent to 9 per cent.
The work cost the government ap-
proximately $4,000, of which sum
Crook and Wheeler counties each
contributed 5000. The traffic on the
road is heavy, for it furnishes an
outlet for the fruit country in the
John Day valley, and enables the peo-
pie Of that region to reach Prineville,
Bend and Crooked river valley
