With good roads, Eastern Linn
County can produce and market thou
sands of tons of good products from
land now given over entirely to graz
ing purposes" announced George Gi-
zendorfer, a good roads booster of
Cascadia, who walked 16 miles to at
tend recent good roads meeting at
Lebanon. with our present poor
roads. 1t is impossible for us readily
to reach the market with such prod
ucts. with the result that this acre
age, so adapted for agriculture, is
chiefly valuable only for grazing pur-
poses. With good roads that would
make markets more available, stock
can be moved farther back and this
land developed in an agricultural
way. In this way, the further settle
ment Of the state would be aided with
consequent increase in the states
production of food products"

During the past winter, sheepmen
In my section of the state lost fully
40 per cent OF their lambs owing to
the weather and the inability to tran
sport feed from the railroads because
Of the impossible condition of the
roads" reports G. NJ. Blakely, a prom.
inent Grant County sheepman. with
the good roads provided in the $6,00O,.
600 road bond bill we would have
been able to get the necessary stock
food and reduced to a minimum the
loss of lambs. With the bottomless
roads we now have in our part of
the state, that was impossible. This
Is an element that enters into the
prevailing high cost of living. Less
stock means constantly increasing
higher prices. The people Of my
county are emphatically for the road
bond bill and any other legislation
that will improve existing conditions
in the matter of transportation in ru
raj communities.

WHAT GOOD ROADS
MEAN TO FARMERS
Seven Portland Hotels Alone
Disburse $3.50 900 Annually
For Ranch Products.

Seven Of Portlands leading hotels
annually disburse among Oregon pro-
ducers s350,000 for the products Of
the farm. OF that total at least $780,
900 is distributed direct to the small
farmer for poultry, butter, eggs, milk,
cream and vegetables. The remain
ing $4,000 is paid out for ham, ba-
con. fish and fresh meat.
Although the foregoing figures are
those of the hotels which handle the
bulk Of the transient travel in Port
land, they do not show all that the
transient travel means to the Oregon
farmer.
Hundreds Of tourists frequently
take their meals at grill, restaurant
or cafeteria not connected with the
hotel at which they are registered.
II obtalnable these figures would ma.
terially swell the grand total of what
this business means to Oregon pro
ducers.
One Of the arguments used against
the six million road bond bill Is that
the roads to be hard surfaced undel
the provisions Of the measure will be
scenic roads" rather than marke'
roads. The figures quoted above
would indicate that the farmer has
direct and material interest in an,
plan Of road building such as Is pro
| vided for II 1t will make more acces
sible a market such as Portland at
| fords for his products.
As an illustration Of what goot
roads mean to the farmer one Port
land hotel pays one producer annual!
$4,000 for eggs alone. He pays 8;
cents dozen under contract through
out the year.
There is no question but that will
the completion Of the roads desig
mated in the bond bill Oregon will at
tract good share Of the tourist bust
ness now largely monopolized by Cali
fornia and estimated to be worth t
that state annually $2OO,O00,0O0.

ARE YOU THE OWNER
OF AN AUTOMOBILE?

II there were only one reason why
every automobile owner should 60 to
the polls June 4th. and vote Eyes"
on the $6,0OO,OOO road bond bill it is
because automobile owners will pay
for these improvements by their in
creased licenses.
But they will save several times
the amount Of their license in wear
ard tear of machines, tire mileage
and gasoline.
Auto owners will have to pay the
increased fee regardless Of whether
or not the road bond bill is approved
at the June election.
If the $6,000000 road bond bill is
approved by the people, the money
derived therefrom will be expended
in the construction of statewide
system of permanent roads.
County money now spent on main
trunk lines will be used on laterals
and less Travelled roads if the road
bonds carry at the special election OF

all adulterated foods, too much

Today most of our sickness is
caused by stomach trouble which is
result of improper cooking. There

such a great extent upon our food it
is very important to know how this

A shelter is that which protects us
from winds, rain and snow storms,

the eyes are effected. If not ven
tilated the lungs do not receive the
proper amount of fresh air that they
should. And If not properly heated
the whole body suffers from the cold.
A house should not be built near

count Of illness which would be sure
to result, and insects and mice, which
inhabit such places. Neither should
we live in tent under the glaring
sun because being overheated is very
harmful as we'll as being sunstroked.
Clothing is the means by which we
assist Nature in keeping our bodies
warm. 1t is made of cotton, wooden.
SILK and flax fibre. Clothing, like
}, food, also differs according to cli-
mate and seasons.
Woolen clothing is lighter in
weight than cotton clothing of the

Food Is anything which, when tax

essential to life because it repairs tn
body, makes it grow larger an,
stronger, and helps to keep it warm
The body demands four classes O
food, namely: proteids, carbohy
drates, fats, and salts. Proteids ar
such foods as the white of an ege
cheese, and meats; carbohydrate
are sweet and starchy foods; fats ar
butter, cream and lard; and salts ar
common table salts, and soda. Mil
is the only perfect food as it is tn
, only one which contains all fou
kinds of food. Therefore it is use

ers, the Vacuum Oil company, OF New

the commander of the United States
naval guard. Lieutenant Clarence
erase Thomas, a Californian, and IL
members of his crew.
The Vacuum had two lifeboats.
Boat No. 1 contained those believed
drowned. Boat No. has been land
ed. 1t contained the Vacuums chief
officer, Is members OF the ships crew
and four naval gunners.
The loss of the American blueiack-
cts marks the first American cas-
ualty list" in the war with Germany.
The gun crews commander, Lieuten-
ant Thomas, is the first American Of
ficer to be killed in discharge of his
duty as armed guardian of a peaceful
American merchantmen.
The Vacuum displayed $500 tons.
She was 247 feet long, with 43-foot
beam. She was owned by the Vacuum
Oil company, a California concern.
