WILL ASK AID OF
 STATE ENGINEER
TOSURYEY SALTILLO ROAD
zatiOn of Road Improvement District.

The first step toward the organiza- der the Alexander act for the purpose of building permanent road from Conway along the Jacksonville road to Palarm creek was taken at a meet ing of landowners at the courthouse last night. A motion was unanimous ly adopted that a petition of 10 or more property owners be addressed to the state highway commission re- questing it to have the state highway engineer make a survey of the pro posed road and an estimate of it's cost. K. F. Park, Saltillo merchant, is in charge of the petition, which will be signed and forwarded at once.
 This is the procedure under the Alexander act, as recently interpreted by the supreme court When the survey and estimate is completed and filed with the county court, if a ma jority in assessed valuation, acreage or number of property-owners is pre- sented asking that the improvement be undertaken, the county court is required to appoint three commis- sioners, who are empowered to carry out the purposes of the district.
 While only small number attend ed last nights meeting, the sentiment was apparently strong in favor of the proposed district and it was pre- dicted that the organization will be completed without difficulty. Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetter presided at the meeting and Wm. J. Drummer served

CITIZENS PROTEST
 WHITLEY PARDON

Remonstrances against the petition to pardon Jesse Whitley of DesArc, slayer of Wesley Mum, a Faulkner county young man, are being circu- lated and signed in this county and will be forwarded at once to Govern or Hays. A lengthy petition for the pardon was published in the Arkan- sas Democrat last week. The rem onstrance recites that the case was clearly one of murder in the first degree and but for the fact that one of the 12 jurors held out against it, a death sentence would have been i'm posed.

The OREGONIAN ANNUAL

with the war and all that, you
have heard men say, and you have 30
thought yourself. "things have moved
rather slowly the past year"
Indeed, we have come to think OF 1t
as a year of little accomplishment, the
year Of 1915, history since last Friday
night. Take one of the latest Oregon
ian ANNALS and you will be aroused
from this bad dream. Its pages and
columns of interesting data, placed be-
fore the reader in an appealing man.
ner, tell stories of great achievements
during the past IL months.
We do not think we have ever seen
better Oregonian annual. Every IN
dustry of the state is given space. and
the stories of all show advancement.
Perhaps we like it better than ANNALS
OF former years because of the great
space used in telling, in picture and
by word, the story of the great Colum-
bia River Highway. That section tell
ing of the wonderful scenic route,
alone more than makes it worth more
than q dime to be sent back to prospec-
tive settlers from the eastern states.

USUAL FIRST OF YEAR COLD WEATHER

The cold weather that usually accom-
panies the advent of the New Year
was not lacking last Friday night. All
the latter part of last week and the
first of this was sufficiently cold to
cause pedestrians to snuggle down in
their overcoats. A continual east wind
was blowing. The temperature ranged
from IS to 80 above zero. On Sunday,
when a light fall Of snow prevailed all
day, the thermometer registered 20 de-
grees. On Sunday night about three
inches.of snow fell.
Despite the cold weather, which froze
the earth to a depth of two to four
inches, no damage was reported by
ranchers. Young strawberry plants
were not hurt; for the earth was not
caused to heave, as usual, thus lifting
the roots of the plants from the soil.

valued on account of the mans ability
to wear evening clothes like society

models cannot achieve.
This model had seen better days."
but the only remaining relic of them
was his dress suit and his ability to
wear 1t properly. Sometimes he would
turn up half an hour before the time
appointed for his sitting, wearing
shabby business suit. After some min
utes' conversation on any topic that
popped into his head he would finally
approach the matter that distressed
him something like this:

say am overwhelmed with confu-

me, was obliged, absolutely obliged

hit upon the plan Of hiding the models

room, sending him home In his even

EUrope Is the only continent which
has been completely explored. A large
area in North America has never been
visited by civilized people. 1t is in the
northwestern part of Alaska, within a
short distance of the coast There are,
besides, similar areas in the extreme
northern section of the North Ameri
can continent, In the vicinity of Hud'
son bay, and again in Labrador.
The interior of Brazil has several large
unexplored areas, and there are sim
liar areas to the southwark. Africa, as
might be expected, contains more un
explored territory than any other con
tinent. The largest lies in the Sahara,
while the central part of the dark con-
sinent to the southwark offers many
opportunities for exploration.
Despite the antiquity of civilization
in Asia, much remains to be done by
the geographer. There are several un-
explored areas in Arabia, as well as in
China, and especially in northern 81
IBERIA. Australia contains several dark
spaces in the northern section. Through
out the south seas lie many islands
some of considerable area, which have
not yet been placed upon the map.
Getting Away From Land.
The question has been asked. Is II
possible to sail 1000 miles from land
This can be done at several points. BY
leaving San Francisco and sailing
northwestward into the north Pacific
spot is reached where there is no
land, not even an islet, for 1000 miles
In any direction. So. too. sailing from
the southern point of Kamchatka
southwestward ships reach point
equally distant from land Of any kind.
the nearest to the north being the
Aleutian islands and to the south the
outlying members Of the Hawaiian
group. In the southern Indian ocean
1t is possible to sail 600 miles out
from the southern points Of Australia
and New Zealand and still be as far
from any other land. and the same
may be done In a westerly direction
from Cape Horn. Indeed. from this
point a much longer distance might be

WESTWARD HO!

The land of the setting sun, the land
of the West, is coming into its own.
Many people who had never crossed
the continent until last year, attracted
by the Panama-Paciic international
exposition, came last year, saw and
were convinced of the wonders of
mountain scenery and the opportunities
of natural resources.
We clip the following, from the pen
OF C. J. Blanchard, statistician of the
United States Reclamation Service,
from the Reclamation Bulletin:
Unless all signs fail and all prophets
are wrong, the west this year is to be
the stalking ground of mighty army
of our people. A liberal education in
the present and potential greatness.of
the great west is to be gained by hun
dreGs of thousands of our citizens, to
whom this land Of promise and fulfill
ment has long been terra incognita. The
barriers of wide plains, lofty mountains
and silent deserts are to be broken
down and, having become familiar
through personal acquaintance and con-
tact, the west is to be recognized as an
integral part of the nation by our east
ern brothers, and no! as heretofore
region apart. AS Secretary Lane has
so we'll said: "To know this land of
the western mountain and of the west
ern sea, is to have some apprehension
of the riches our sons shall inherit.
The tide that today is sweeping so
strongly westward will ebb eastward
with diminished force. In its capa.
cious bosom the west will clasp and
hold the freedom loving. adventurous
and ambitious spirits to whom its va.
ried attractions and opportunities will
prove irresistible.
The abundant knowledge which the
tourist will gain concerning the re-
sources and riches of our great west
will quicken the investment of capital,
encourage large enterprises for the de-
velopment of regions long neglected,
but wanting only industry and faith to
blossom into new common wealths.
Our ears are filled daily with the
praises of the travlers who come to our
desk. They are expounding the won-
der of western scenery, western agri-
culture, and western enterprise in
manner which predicates an eastern
campaign of exploitation that can not
fail TO produce immeasurabie results
for years to come.
