4 North and South Road Across the
 County Some Figures.

4 road from the Benton County inc south of Rogers to Winslow would be approximately 40 miles in length 4 first class macadamized read could probably be built for s2500 per mile, or $100 900 from Winslow to the Ben ton County line. The interest on 20 year bond issue would be $50.0O0, making sl50.000. Add 10 per cent to this as required where improvement districts are formed under the Alex ander Law would give a total of $l65 ,000 An improvement district ext ending miles on each side of the highway would give strip across the county 40 miles long and C miles
 wide, containing approximately 155,- I000 acres. The assessed valuation of this land on the tax7books is $550,- GOO, exclusive of the cities and towns Assessed valuation of all real estate in the cities and towns along the pro posed highway is about q .800,000 This amount added to the valuation of real estate outside the towns, namely, s550, ,000 would make d total valuation of all real estate g ,350- 000 $165 .000 is : per cent of s2,350, 900: or in other words, to raise the required s165, 000 would require an ass ssessment against all real estate ly- ing in the proposed improvement dis trict of : per cent.
 Say Jones is assessed on the tax books at s1.o00 his assessment for this improvement owuld be s70. Di- vide s70 by 20 years and you get amount Jones would have to pay each year for this improvement-in other words Jones would pay an an- nual tax of g.. DO per year fer a No. hard surface road We believe that a large majority of the land own CTS who should be so fortunate as to live contiguous to this proposed high awy would cheerfully pay the small additional tax for the privilege of living near one No. road, leading not only to the town where he markets his produce, but clear across the county. There are other advantages. Benton County is organizing to build across that county to the Missouri lime; Ft. Smith and Crawford County are already building to Winslow.
 A magnificent pike is being built from Rnssellville to Harriso across the counties of Pope, Newton ard Boone. As a large part of the 75 miles this road traverses lies in the Ozark National Forest, the Govern ment is said to be bearing the lion share of the expense.
 Let's everybody boost and try for one good road across old Washington County.

 Fourteen went down on the Cannon Ball, and seven others in autos. When We boarded the train We found ladies from Rogers and Bentonville also enroute to Fayetteville.
 We were met at the Fayetteville depot by a committee of Fayette- vile ladies and rushed in autos to the Baptist church. where other lad ies welcomed us After short rest We were invited to look over their beautiful church, except the basement they forbade Us going down there till noon
 Soon other ladies from Johnson and Prairie Grove arrived and the program for the day began by Scrip ture reading by the pastor, Rev. Hunt, welcome address by Mrs. H. L. Pearson and short talks were made by the ladies from the different places on the work We are doing and H9w We could do more work in N. N. Arkansas

Edison win Head American Board
Of Invention for Army and Navy

: West Orange, N. j. ~ Thomas A.
Edison has accepted an invitation from
Secretary Daniels to head an ad-
yisory board of civilian inventors for a
bureau of invention and development
to be created in the navy department.
His acceptance will go forward at
once to Washington, where the new
plans await word from the man ''who
can turn dreams into realities. .
Mr.. Daniels idea Of utilizing the
inventive genius of Americans in and
out of the military and naval service to
meet conditions of warfare shown in
the conflict on land and sea in Europe
is outlined in letter written last
Wednesday asking Mr.. Edison wheth-
er, as patriotic service to his coun-
try, he would undertake the task of
advising the proposed bureau. The
plan is to have several men prominent
in special lines of inventive research
associated in the work.
Among the great problems to be laid
before the Investigators the secretary
mentioned submarine warfare, adding
that he felt sure that with Mr.. Edi-
sons wonderful brain to help them the
officers of the navy would be able ito
meet this new danger with new devices
that will assure peace to our country
by their effectiveness"

Land Board Must Decide.

Salem = The Desert Land Board at
its next meeting win be called upon to
take definite action on the excess acre
age on the Central Oregon Irrigation
company's project, John Thyen, Of
Bend, having applied for deed to
lands involving that question: Mr.
Thyen has contract for 80 acres, for
seven of which the company refused to
deliver water.
The Federal government recently
warned the state against issuing deeds
under the Carey land aclinntil there
was water right and q sufficient
water supply for every irrigable acre
in the tract. 1t was indicated that if
these conditions were not complied
with the title to the land would be de-
feasible and it might be necessary to
revoke the states patents. The board
must now either pass defeasible title
to the settlers on the project or else
adjust the excess acreage question be-
fore issuing deeds to these lands.

Mining Activity Gains.

Cottage Grove-Reports Of renewed
activity in the Bohemia district in
clude rumor that the large Champion
property will again become active.
This closed down last season after a
short, but successful run, because of
some difficulty over the ownership. It
is expected that as soon as Manager
Hard returns from his extended East
ern trip he will announce an active
season at his properties. More small
properties are active than there have
been for number Of seasons. Sever
al tons Of supplies are being hauled
into the Long placer claim.
The advance in the price of copper
and lead gives encouragement to the
development Of copper and lead prop
critics. The Bohemia district is the
only one in the state having shown
lead in paying quantities and one Of
two camps in the state having copper
production last year.
With quicksilver steadily advancing
in price there is a ahope that the big
quicksilver mine at Black Butte, which
has been active for several years, will
resume. Quicksilver has more than
doubled in price since the mine closed.

SUBMARINE FORCES AMERICAN SHIP
TO ACT AS SCREEN FROM VICTIM

Liverpool How an American shiI
is alleged to have been used as shield
by German submarine for the sink
ing of another vessel is the story re-
lated by members of the crew of the
American bark Normandy, which has
arrived here from Gulfport, Miss.
The story is that the Normandy was
stopped by German submarine go
miles southwest Of Tuskar Rock, off
the southeast coast of Ireland, Friday
night. The captain was called aboard
the submarine, where his papers were
examined and found to show that the
ship was chartered by an American
firm January 8.
The captain Of the bark, it was as
serted, was allowed to return to the
Normandy, but under the threat that
his ship would be destroyed unless he
stood by and obeyed orders. These
orders, it was said, were that he was
to act as shield for the submarine,
which lay at the side Of the bark, hid
ing itself from an approaching vessel.
This vessel proved to be the Russian
steamer Lee. Presently the submarine
submerged and proceeded around the
bow of the Normandy, SO the story
went, and 10 minutes later the crew of

Salem The Supreme co1| L, an
opinion by Justice Harris, held that
Klamath county must accept county
warrants totaling $1O,4 as part Of
the Southern Pacific company's taxes
for 1914. The warrants were issued
in 1912 by the county because, in
error, the assessor had collected sew
eral thousand dollars too much in taxes
on personality.
According to the complaint the COM
pany owed $179.95 taxes on personal
property in 1912, but through error
SIT, ,454.99 was collected. When the
mistake was discovered, klamath
county had expended the money, and
the authorities directed the issuance Of
warrants for all over $179,95. When
the warrants were rendered as part
payment for taxes for 1914 the county
treasurer would not accept them.
