OREGON IN
TERESTED in HIGHWAY

That news OF the action of the State
Highway Commission yesterday in max.
ing application for federal funds for the
improvement of the Columbia Highway
win further stimulate good roads inter-
est in Wheeler county and the John
Day section, is the word brought here
by E. o. Blanchar, G. Dethman and A..
d. Moe, who with Mrs. Blanchar and
Mrs. Moe were returning from three
days tour. The local men, who travelled
as far east as Spray, declare that citi-
zens of the Eastern Oregon county have
become good roads enthusiasts. 1t is
stated that they are eagerly watching
every Columbia Highway development,
realizing that every betterment of the
road at whatever point between East
ern Oregon and Portland is bringing
them that much nearer the metropolis
and further relieving them from former
isolation.
The party of local people, en- route to
Spray, went by way of McDonald's ferry
across the John Day river. Travelling
thence to Condor and Fossil and south
east to Spray. Returning from Fossil
they took the road by way of the new
Clarno bridge across the John Day
river, Antelope, Shaniko, Kent, Grass
Valley, Moro and Wasco.
The Wheeler county citizens are so
eager for good roads, it is said, that
they have raised funds by private SUBJ
scription in order to secure survey of
the best routes. The county court is
furnishing portion of the survey fund.
Dta ,nHar far n sol
bond issue, and with state aid it is pro-
posed to push the highway through to
Fossil and ultimately connecting with
the Lincoln highway from Boise to On
tario. The distance between McDon-
AIDS ferry and Ontario will be cut 1l8
miles. On the road running north and
south between Condor and Fossil $780,
600 of state money is now being ex-
pended. The old road at this point was
badly cut up by the heavy freshets of
June and July.
The communities of the John Day
are principally devoted to stock raising,
because of the isolation, but they are
very fertile, according to the local mo-
torists. 81 have seen no country in
Eastern Oregon more fertile outside our
Hood River Valley" says Mr.. Blanchar.
The local motorists declare that ac-
cording to their observations, the best
roads encountered were in Sherman
county. The highways there have been
worked since the rains. "Near Ante.
LOPEZ says Mr.. Blanchar, lis monu-
ment designating the border between
Sherman and Wasco counties. The
traveller Immediately notices the differ
ence in the roads. In Sherman county
they are in the best of shape, while just
over the border, the Wasco county
thoroughfares show the devastation Of
the freshets. The Sherman county citi-
zens seem alive to the benefit of good
roads,"
1t is the opinion of the local men that
| Wheeler county citizens will vote bonds
by an overwhelming majority the COM
ing fall.
The party visited at the homes of L.
E. Morse, Hugh Stewart and Warren
Davenport, former local residents.

Indians on Way to Lake

The first party of eastern Oregon
Indians, headed for the Lost Lake re-
gion. where they make an annual
pilgrimage, the bucks to hunt the
plentiful game of the region. and the
women to pick huckleberries. passed
through Hood River Monday. Com
pared with former years. but small
number of Indians now visit Lost
Lake. Four years ago an old squaw
was killed by bolt of lightning, and
the tragedy was taken as an i'll omen
from the Great Spirit.
While huckleberries are reported as
ripening OH the lower levels of the
national forest, the main crop on Zig
Tag mountain west of Lost Lake will
not mature for about three weeks.

Give the Baby a Chance

Bad air, bad milk. over-crowding,
poverty. dirt. ignorance, heat-these
combine in summer to kill the city
baby. 1t seems as though the brunt of
the cities sanitary sins were focused
on the baby. The baby didn't ask to
come, to live in hot, dark, air-tight
tenement, to be fed on dirty, half
spoiled milk, to be pestered with flies
and mosquitoes. He is not responsible
for any of these conditions and it is
his right that he have fresh air, clean
surroundings and decent food. The
United States Public Health Service

Infants" 1t should be in the hands of

When George Lockwood, motorcycle
officer on the Columbia River Highway
killed a big bald eagle last week at
Crown Point, he qualified for picture
in the paper and considerable repute
as a huntsman. He also got in line as
leading man on a warrant for having
killed wild bird, and is subject to
fine of S25 to $500.
"This will teach him a lesson" said
State Game Warden W. l.. Finley.
"Bald eagles used to abound about the
Columbia River highway, but hunters
have exterminated most of them.
Tney have absolute protection under
the game laws. II the few birds still
remaining are left alone they will
propagate. Otherwise the eagle will
soon be a defunct bird. As the bald
eagle is the national emblem, it seems
q dissertation to kill one of these
birds.

Ship Leaped Over Torpedo,

Capt. J. w. Bell of the British steam.
ship Rio Larges, was in New York re-
Gently wearing the medal awarded by
King George for distinguished service.
The captain was also voted $500 by
the British admiralty for sinking the
first German submarine lost in the
war.
On February % Captain Bell, in
charge of the Thordis, steamship of
1000 tons, was proceeding to an Eng
fish port when he sighted the peri
scope of submarine off Beachy head.
An instant later torpedo was sent
at the Thordis. Captain Bell ordered
full steam ahead and in the rough sea
managed to jump the torpedo, as his
boat leaped the waves while the tor
pedo kept its own level. Captain Bell
then rammed the submarine and sank
her.
