one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces Of the System thereby destroying

DOES NOT AGREE
WITH c. M. DRAKE

SiletZ, Ore, Mar. goth, 1917.
Editor Of the Leader:-I read your
letter from C. NJ. Drake. Mark Twain
said never to argue with mules. women
or fools but don't want you to think
all your readers agree with Mr. Drake.
Once upon time a goat tried to
bunt locomotive off the track. Pub
lie opinion is moving against German
intrigue just as that locomotive moved
against time. Mr.. Lanes stand can
be compared with the goats. l agree
that it took courage to make that
stand but | don't admire the judgment
Mr.. Lane thought an anti-Wilson state
was anti-U. S. The people of the U. S.
and Of Ore. in particular are not TAX
ing sailing directions from der Kaiser
or from the gentleman from Wis, the
stronghold of hyphenated American
citizens.
Mr.. Chamberlain has been in public
life for some time and he seems to
have escaped the ivory hunters so far.
Friend Drake, like a great majority
Of Oregonians | am not pro Wilson
nor pro ally but in any controversy
where our rights and honor as a ma
tion are concerned | am pro United
States this time and all the time.

Dear Sir:
We are very much interested in the
matter Of good roads. We have no.
ticed that our County was not in
cluded with those mentioned to be
benefited by this $6,OOO,OOO bond is
sue. At the meeting at Eugene last
Saturday, we were told that we could
still be recognized and that authority
TO include us was with you. We were
also told that you would come over
and meet the people here with the
idea Of making a satisfactory adjust.
ment. This was all we could ask and
was perfectly satisfactory to our dele
cation. ! would like to arrange q
meeting of representative men from
the various parts Of the County to
meet you here. II 1t is agreeable to
you, and you will set some date con-
venient for yourself, | will call the
people together.
Assuring you Of our appreciation Of
any interest you may take in us, We
are,
Yours truly,
r. R. Miller, County Judge.
Oregon State Highway Commission.
Salem, March 10th, 1917.
Hon. R. r. Miller, County Judge,
Toledo, Oregon,
Dear Sir
Your favor Of the thirteenth at
hand and contents noted. In regard
to the present road program as out.
lined by the Legislature will say that
the most heavily travelled roads of the
State only are included, but you will
note that the Legislative Act gives the
State Highway Commission authority
as to the distribution of the funds, and
| assure you that every section of the
State will get some attention before
we finish.
The pressure brought to bear from
the populous centers along our trunk
lines will no doubt be so great that
these trunk lines will have to receive
our first attention, but the sooner we
get those roads improved and out OF
the way, the sooner we will get to the
lateral roads.
1t is to be hoped that the present
bond issue will carry as the money
from same will take care of the trunl,
lines pretty well and will leave the
other funds to be distributed through
the State, although, even in that case
it will be impossible to reach all the
places in one or two years.
take for granted that the road to
Corvallis will be your main outlet and
1t should have first attention. There
should also be a road from Tillamook
down the Coast, but just how soon this
can be undertaken is hard to say. |
can not at the present time make any
definite promise as to when the Com
mission can do something for you, but
you can rest assured that you will not
be forgotten.
| understand that the road from Cor
wallis is pGssable in the Summer time
and as soon as the weather permits |
hope to take trip down your way by
machine.
Yours very truly,
S. Benson,
Chairman State Highway Commission.

SUGAR STRIKE LIKELY.
TO END in 4S HOURS
Refners Declared Ready to In
crease Pay, but Not to Grant
Shorter Day

There were indications today that within
forty-eight hours there might be- a settle
ment between the refincrs and the 1000 or
more sugar workers on strike.
. It is understood that the refners are
willing to grant the demand OF the strikers
for an increase from twenty-five to thirty
cents an hour but are unwilling to give the
men a ten-hour day. The refiners con-
tend that it would be impossible to divide
the men into two shifts on a ten-hour basis.
They say that on a ten-hour basis the
machinery would he idle for an hour be-
tween shifts, and would become "candied.'
The present working schedule is twelve
hours daily. seven days a week.
The refinery of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Company is the only one running in the
city today. the refneries of the w, j.

Turning Sees Transit
Cost Up S28,OOO,O 900

the city without sufficient funds could not
consider municipal operation which would
add millions more for the cost of equip
ment.
Director Twning agreed that the city
at present time was not in an advantageous
position to deal with the Transit Company
but he insisted that the money available
would build System which would be oper-
ated. He explained further that the system
would take about three years TO complete
and by that time the increased borrowing
capacity of the city would provide the ad-
ditional money necessary.
Commissioner Ryan. however, observed
that there was a bill now before the Legis-
lature which would make available for any
permanent public improvements funds here
tofore available only for port and transit.
Director Twining, although he made no
direct recommendatio suggested that the
present funds be used to complete the out
lying lines OF the high-speed system and
that the shortage be deducted from the
Broad street subway. making that line
from Spruce street to Erie avenue. at least
until additional borrowing capacity for
transit should be found.
According TO an opinion Of City Solicitor
Connolly just given to the Director, the
additional borrowing capacity for transit
this year above the amount of the loans Is
900 and for the next two three
years 1t will be about $14.OOO.oO a year.
= When asked by Commissioner Ryan for
his latest estimates of the cost of the high
speed system. Director Twining replied
Il am ashamed to say. 1t will be be-
tween $50, 900 and s91. .000, ,000."
He then went on TO show how the increase
IN the cost of materials had necessitated
FevisIons Of the 1918 estimate of $4,000
900 to a figure of 63.000.000 in 1915. of

the figures given today.
