Vansycle Canyon road. for drainage
and culverts, $4,000.
| Total mileage improved under this
plan about $50 miles of road leading
to all parts of the farming community
giving the farmer an outlet over i'm
proved roads to the market oenfers and
the wheat stations
| Under the plans advocated by the
friends of the bonding scheme. and
the type of roads advocated, these
roads rave cost Multnomah county and
Hood River county $4,000 per mile.
The average cost Of the Jackson coun-
ty, Col umbia and Clatsop counties
construc ted under state supervision is
$4,000 per mile. Take the lowest
amount of cost 10 these counties.
| $4,000 per mile, and the $3.50, 900
bond issue will construct about 61
miles of this type of road, at a cost of
nearly 81 800, 900 to the taxpayer in
principal and interest. This places
the limit of indebtedess on the county,
and in future years, no matter what
develops and what conditions might
arise demanding some Tother piece Of
road, nothing could be done as the
limit is reached.
After constructing these 61 miles of
joy-riding roads, the balance of the
1000 miles of our county roads would
necessarily be neglected. This is
the condition jackson, Columbia and
Clatsop counties find themselves in
and they are now tegging the state
with tears in their eyes TO come to
their relief.
This is what was done two years ago
at the session Of the legislature. this
Is what they are preparing to do at the
next session. The same crowd and
the same element being brought in our
county by the boosters for the bond
issue were taken into these counties,
and prevailed upon them to place
themselves In these conditions.
What Multnomah county has done,
is being held up to us as an example.
Yet these people do not tell us that the
cost has been the greatest of any road
work in the West.
The Multnomah tond issue can be
financed and the bonds retired at an
annual tax Of f1ve-tenths Of one mill
on each $l.00 of taxable property.
While the Umatilla county proposed
tond issue will cost the taxpayer
about three mills each year, or one
mill for interest and two mills for re.
firing the bonds; this means an annual
tax on the wheat lands from Helix to +
the State Line from $40 to $25 per
quarter section each year during the
life of the bonds. yet the wheat belt
is not given any recognition 10 the
distribution Of the funds, or their
roads considered.
In the plans / am advocating l pro-
pose to reach every city or town in the
county; give relief 10 the Gold Springs
section, open up that bottled.up terri
tory to the open river giving good
improved road and down.hill pull

These are my reasons for favoIing
the millaRe tax instead of the bond
issue. The money expended can be
handled by the county court so as to
give our home labor the preference,
Placing the money in circulation at
home and getting three or four times
as many miles of improved roads foi
one fourth the ultimate cost.
Other reasons for favoring the mill

the bond issue will not carry and that

presented, and that be would not al
low to be considered.
Here is another. The resolution
offered at the meeting Of the 18th,
which he would not allow to be con-
sidered--very plain to any one who
can read. Here it is in full:
"Whereas. there does not seem to be
any considerable amount of public
entinent favorjng a bond issue for
permanent road purposes, and
whereas, the submission to the
people of such a measure at this time
would probably result In defeat Of the
good roads movement in Umatilla
county, and
Whereas, there is desire that
there shall be something accomplished
each year toward improved road CON-
ditions. and
"Whereas, sentiment saems to be
orystalisiug in favor of the annual
road tax, special In character sufficient
to raise about 100000 per year for
permanent roads:
"Therefore, DO it Resolved. that this
organization do now abandon its bond.
ing project, and do proceed to such
action by the people at the approach
ing primary election, in the form of
an initiative measure, as will advise
the county court of the public senti-
ment upon the subject, and
"Be it further Resolved, that we |
favor the annual tax levy by the coun-
ty court of special road tax of
mills ON the dollar for the next five
years the proceeds TO be utilized in
the construction of permaneut roads
in the county as public needs may re-

Be 1t further Resolved that before

1t makes one long for midsummer
for the glory of June weddings, or
even for graduation days. to view the
new thin white dresses which have
recently been launched upon the sea of
summer fashions. They are froth of
,rills and flounces and look as cool and
unsubstantial as white clouds in the
spring sky. These models of the ut
terly feminine in summer clothes are
repeated in pale tints that are mere re-
Elections Of pink or green or blue. Oc-
casionally Elusive figures appear on
them. usually In the form of lace ap-
plique in motifs that are applied to an
under petticoat or to the underside Of
the skirt.
Organdie and other sheer crisp mate
rails are better adapted to dresses of
this kind than softer fabrics. Lawns
and voiles are used for them, and 1t
almost goes without saying that the
dounces and frills are made very full
always but fullest in the softer goods.

HORSES THRIVE ON ALFALFA

Some ridiculous prejudices are held

territory IL that 1t is unsuited and
even dangerous to horses. The fact
IL, NO other hay comes SO near being

grown and best known, It has largest
popularity and use as . staple ration
for horse and mule stock of all ages.
One element that makes alfalfa SO valu-
able is its large protein content-much
larger than Is found in any other hay.
Best results are obtained BY feeding
with It, as q balance, other feeds hav.
ing less protein.
Horse owners accustomed to using
prairie or timothy hay. and keeping
the hangers heaped. are likely to over
feed on alfalfa. with harmful effects.
such as would follow from feeding too
much oats or corn.
Regardless OF theories and scien-
lists, there ia much testimony from
men severely practical that alfalfa
hay alone serves every purpose as
roughage for mature horses at heavy
work and for growing colts of any age.
although for some horses when driven
fast it is found rather too much of q
laxative. Hundreds Of horse owners
in western towns use It exclusively
as hay for stage, omnibus, delivery
and dray animals, and light drivers.
In parts of California and adjacent
states no other hay is known.

Feminine daintiness and love for
beautiful color may be INDUCED with
out restraint within the walls OF tho
boudoir. There is no excuse for any
sort of ugliness there. Lingerie grows
more and more airy and dainty, and in
neglisees the prettiest fancies of de-
signs are interpreted in any extreme
Of style. Satin and chiffon, thin crepe
and fine laces. are the alluring medi-
ums with which the artist works out
her dreams. Ribbons and little made
flowers add touches that betray her
delight In the work she undertakes.
Color is such an important factor In
apparel for the boudoir that the less
expensive sheer fabrics, in the same
colors as silk stuffs, are used with as
good results. Voiles, null, lawn and
thin mercerixed cottons are made up
with laces and trimmed with ribbons

DUCKLINGS NEED FRESH AIR

Ducklings, when Matched in an incu-

in the machine than chicks do and
when the hatch is complete and the
little ducklings are still in the ma

CLEANING UP AFTER CHOLERA
Work Should Be Done Promptly and
ThoroushIy-LittIe Pigs Lose
Their Immunity.

All farms on which hog cholera has
existed at any time during the past
two years should be cleaned up
promptly and thoroughly. The older
hogs may have possessed a degree of
immunity which enabled them to re-
sist successfully any hog cholera virus

previous clean-ups. Pigs from immune
mothers do not possess this resisting
power. The pigs from immune moth.
