Road NLrstery Is solved.

SALEM, ore, June 1.-The mystic
rious disappearance of 800 miles of
highway in Lincoln county as shown
in the biennial road report of oregon,
caused the department of agriculture
at Washington to wonder.
When Malheur. the biggest county
in the state, showed an increase of .
600 miles of highway in two years.
the department demanded an explana-
ton from State Engineer Lewis.
Today Lewis made this explanation
to washington. The 1914 road repor:
from Lincoln county was made when
the tide was out. When the 1916 re-
port was made the tide was in, and
500 miles of coast highways were un-
der water and couldn't be counted

PLEA FOR SHORT BALLOT

The Chicago Tribune, in an editorial,
makes strong protest against the long bal
lot used at the last election, which is described
as "about half as large as bed sheet" The
observation lis made that voter with the
celebrity of an expert accountant and the
knowledge of a political reporter may have
been able to vote as he desired without spoil
ing his ballot; but for others there was
scarcely chance.
The editorial says:
Probably most voters were able to express
a real preference between the national can
didates. It is almost equally certain that
most voters were not able to express real
preference among important local admins
trative officials.
"A huge ballot all printed over with names,
supplemented by series of smaller ballots,
can never be an adequate tool even for an
electorate as intelligent as ours. But it can
be made an effective tool of the INSCRIPTIONS

''The most urgently needed practical re-
form in American politics is the short ballot

TWENTY-FIVE OF THE FORTY EIGHT
STATES OF THE UNION NOW IN
"DRY" COLUMN

Emerging from the uncertainty which over
hung the recent presidential election, is the
fact that the states of Michigan, Nebraska,
South Dakota, and Montana have voted
"dry." Utah and Florida have elected legis-
latures, with a mandate for the passage of
''dry' laws. This success puts half, and pro-
badly one more than half, of the states of the
Union into the Prohibition column.
A majority of 1000 for Prohibition in the
state Of Michigan was great victory for the
"Drys," considering the fact that it lies east
of the Mississippi and is one of the leading
northern states
In Florida, Prohibition governor was
elected over a Democratic nominee.
The Chicago Evemimg Post says:
with four states officially added to the
dry list, and with two others practically
added, twenty-five of the forty-eight states of
the union may be counted in the list of those
who have debarred King Alcohol. Tt is but

SUBMARINE ACTIVITY CAUSES APP
PREHENSION IN WASHINGTON

The renewed activities of German SUBJ
marines during the past few weeks is re-
garded as serious by State Department Of
fcials at Washington. No decision has been
reached, however, as to whether Germany
has violated the pledges given to the Ameri-
can government,
Secretary Lansing has laid before Presi-
den Wilson summary OF information re-
garding submarine attacks on vessels carry
ing Americans; but it is claimed that suf-
fcient evidence is not yet at hand on which
to base action.
No information has been received from
the Berlin government in response to an in
quiry sent through the American embassy
there, concerning the sinking of the Marina,
with the loss of six American lives.
The report of the commander of the Ger
man submarine which sank the British
steamer ROaOa1anaore, aboard which were sew
eral Americans, has been received, and it is
claimed that the vessel disregarded the sub
marines signal to halt, and endeavored to es-
cape at full speed.
In the midst of the nations excitement over
the presidential election, the report came
that the passenger liner Arabia had been
sunk in the Mediterranean.
On November 6, wireless calls for help
were received from the American-Hawaiian
steamship Columbian, which was being shelled
by submarine On November II, dispatches
were received, stating that the vessel had en-
countered a submarine on November 6 dur
ing a violent storm. 1t was then compelled
to interrupt it's voyage and lie to under sur
veillance, until November 8. The storm hav-
ing subsidized, the crew was ordered to
abandon the ship, which was then sunk.

TRAINS NOW RUNNING ON 1876 MILES
OF NEW ALASKAN RAILROAD

One hundred and thirty-six miles Of the
new government Alaskan railroad, to connect
Seward with Fairbanks "a distance of 466
miles = are now in operation, with trains
running daily. Seventy-one miles of the one
hundred and thirty-six comprise the old
Alaskan northern railway line, which again
has been put into operation. Sixty-fve miles
are entirely new.
The next link in the railroad = which, it is
thought, will not be completed until the fall
of 1919 will be the connecting section be-
tween Kern Greek and Anchorage.
The estimated cost of the construction of
the four hundred and sixty-six miles Of the
main line, including the branch to the Ma
tanuska coal fields, is $25 ,642, 900, = SILL
100000 of which has been expended up to the
close of the present fiscal year. A force of
1000 men is employed.
The Chicago Herald, in an editorial, states
that veritable empire is about to be opened
by the Alaskan government railway. The
country is being settled by homesteaders,
cities and towns adjacent to the mining lands
are being surveyed and an Alaskan boom is
in progress.

JAPAN ENJOYS GREAT TRADE PROS
PERITY

The European war has resulted in great
trade prosperity to Japan. To every part of
the world that nation has been shipping her
products. New markets have been opened
and steamship lines extended to every big
port of call on the face of the earth.
Trade prosperity is especially enjoyed with
Russia, which nation is buying everything,
from munitions to boots and shoes. South
America is another heavy customer.
In China a market has been established
which promises to outrival those of other
foreign powers.
Trade with Australia has grown to such
an extent that Japan's largest steamship
company, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha = a firm
in which the imperial family owns large
part of the stock - has just added two more
vessels to it's line, making total of ten Jap
anese vessels which now are plying between
Japan and Australia.

TRIUMPHS OF AMERICAN CHEMISTRY

In New York city last week the National
Exposition of Chemical Industries was held
together with the sessions of the American
Chemical Society. 1t was demonstrated, says
the Chicago Tribune, what American chem
lists have been able to accomplish since the
beginning Of the European war.
Substitutes for some of the dyes hereto
fore obtained only from Germany have been
developed. Potash which was practically a
German monopoly, is now being procured in
large quantities from the feldspar deposits,
and on the Pacific Coast huge plants are ex-
tracing it from seaweed.
Sodium carbonate is now made from COM
mon salt, and is successfully employed in the
making of fine glassware, much of which
has hitherto been imported from Germany.
By means of the great hydro-electric plants
at Niagara and elsewhere, the chemists as
sure us that there need be no lack of nitrates
for fertilizing and other purposes.
These are only few of the problems which
American chemists have solved.

YIELD OF CORN FALLS BELOW LAST

PRICE HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR

The government report for November fixes
the yield of corn at 2,643,OO0,O00 bushels, or
$4,000, 900 bushels less than was indicated a
month ago, and All 100000 bushels less than
was raised last year.
The quality of the corn crop shows high
average of 1873 per cent, compared with 1872
per cent year ago.
From present indications, farmers will re-
ceve more than ever before for their corn,
the average price on the farms now being
