 WILSON REIGN

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 - That the Wilson administration has been an administration of blunders and un- cretainty was emphasized by Elihu Root in an, address in this city last nioht. He spoke at mass meeting held under the auspices of the Republican club in this city.

Expect Full Returns February |

Up to the present time 20 per cent
of the returns on apple shipments has
been allotted to the local growers by
the Mosier Fruit Growers Association.
Manager R. D. Chatfield states that by
February he hopes to receive the
entire amount due, which this year
has been delayed on account of car
shortages.
The shipping of apples from the
local association will be continued, in
all probability. for week at least, as
growers are still hauling apples to the
warehouse which contains at present
nearly 1900 boxes. TLis week another
car of apples for canning was shipped
to The Dalles to the Wittenburg. King
company. This company is already
soliciting business for next year and
is endeavoring to secure 5000 tons of
apples or approximately 500 carloads.
They are also endeavoring to make FIVE
year contracts for fruits at good prices
and next year are planning on an ex-
pansive business.
G. A. Nahstoll, of Washington,

Road Building Being Outlined

j. A. Elliott, the engineer who will
have charge of the road construction
work in Wasco county during the time
$3.50, 600 will be spent for improving
the highways, arrived in The Dalles
Friday, says the Chronicle, and i'm
mediately began the work of compiling
records preliminary to securing rights
of way Mr.. Elliott held short con-
sultation with County Judge f. S.
Cunning, who outlined the plans made
by the county court and advisory
board. 1t is not expected that any
obstacles will materially delay secur-
ing rights of way. Many landowners,
through whose property road will
pass, have already promised to grant
right of way without expense to the
county. The farmers believe the ac-
QUESTION of road through their land
is worth much more than what the
land itself is worth
The plan for letting contracts which
has been adopted, promises speedy
work when actual construction is COM
menced. The various routes will be
divided into units, and these units will
be open for separate bids. The road
from The Dalles to Petersburg, will
compose one unit. There will be three
units from The. Dalles to Mosier, and
the bridge over MOsier creek will be
offered for a separate bid. This sys-
TEN will give a number of contractors
chance at the various sections of
road, with the result that construction
work can be done all along the route.
The units of the road from The
Dalles to Dufur and south to the
Jefferson county line, which has not
been surveyed, will be designated
later. MIR. Elliott will go over this
route and determine how many units
can be successfully worked.
The units from The Dalles to Peters
burg and from The Dalles to Cheno.
with creek, are now ready for bids,
rights of way having been granted.
Mr.. Elliott has a thorough checking
system which will cover every phase
of the construction work. The system
is simple and will be kept up to the
minute. showing daily wnat work has
been done and what ii has cost.
This cost system will contain records
showing for what every dollar has
been spent, and will give the taxpay-
ers an opportunity not only to see how
the $3.50, 900 has been spent, but will
show exactly what expenditures the
contractors have made in fulfilling
their contracts.

What Was Done BY
a Magazine Article

An article on Nevada and it's agri-
cultural source and possibilities,
written by Bob Davis and published
in the American magazine of last
month, has attracted the attention Of
the entire country. Mr.. Davis closes
his article by saying that any further
information on the subject will be
furnished by writing to Charles A.
Norcross, in charge Of the publicity
department on the resources Of Ne
vada.
The author of the article evidently
did pot know that in a fit of economy
the legislature of this state abolished
that department about two years ago
That the article is bearing fruit and
the need of such a department as the
II that was done away with is es-
sential is evidenced by the fact that
in the last three days over thirty let
tiers have been received at Justice
Norcross' office from as many a.
twenty different states in the Union
making inquiries about lands, crops
and everything pertaining to the agri
cultural of the state.
These letters will be turned ovel
to State Engineer Kearney to be re
Piled to.
