LIKE A METROPOLITAN CIRCULATION

The Capital Journal Saturday evening distributed
practically 5000 copies of its evening editiOnand its sale
might have been greater had supply of papers been equal
to the demand daily paper with regular edition of
over 400 copies and touching the 5000 mark
days begins to resemble real city paper and the fact
the Capital Journal is not seeking additional crcula
ton emphasizes its hold upon the public. We are en-
pOying no solicitors either in the city country and
have not done for months because our circulation is
greater than the advertising rates in this field will Justify
Subscriptions alone will not pay the running expenses of
daily newspaper and the high cost of print makes
imperative that publishers hold their crculatOns with
in reasonable bounds This the Capital Journal has been
trying to do with little apparent during the past
six months
No doubt the excellence of the Capital Journals local
and elegraphic service has been in the main
spOnsible to its remarkable growth In the Salem field
Saturday the first real Of the diplomatic break be-
tween the Untetd States and Germany came through
this paper 1t is true that early and incomplete extra
editions Of the Portland papers reached the city during
the day but the ncOmpeeness Of their reports only
aggravating to those desiring real information. The
Capital Journal at 2:0 o'clock printed the complete his
tory of this epochmaIng day. The break in diplomatic
relations the presidents speech in full, the scene in
congress- and all the other stirring events that came
with startling Tapidty graphically told in the
Capital Journals leased wire report The morning
papers of Sunday had nothing more to addthe story
had been told and told only the special staffwrters
event 1t was remarkable achievement for newspaper
printed in a city the size of Salem
And after all it is wonder that the Capital Journals
circulation grows Reliable readable, newspaper every
day. the people of the capital city have come to turn
nstncty to this paper when they want to know what IS
happening in the community, in the world that
stretches away beyond it.

THE PROPOSED ROAD CODE FOR OREGON

is to be hoped that the present session OF the egs
ature will enact modern, workable code OF road laws.
Such code has been carefully prepared, after months
of work and investigation by committee representing
the State Grange Farmers Union Federation Of Labor
Northwest Realty association Oregon Automobile club
Oregon Daily Newspaper association and other organ
izatons of statewide membership and influence All
these different interests have finally by process OF
gve and take" reached a common ground and house bl
No. 23 represents the result of the panStakng research
and investigation of committees who have only the good
of the state at heart The model road code Of the United
States good roads department and he codes OF New York
and Iowa both thoroughly tried out have contributed TO
the result Of the abors Of the committee now in the hands
OF the legislature. ~
That the state needs a systematic method Of building
roads and eXpending road funds IS generally admitted
Much money has been wasted in the past and great
amount of poor road work has been DONE much Of it
through ignorance and lack of system and organization
Since the federal government is now in position to
match dollar for dollar the state and county funds there
is greater necessity than before for real road code
and state highway department empowered and organ
lied get dollar in efficiency for every dollar expended
That is why the leading agricultural industrial ana civic
associations of the state have endeaVored with marked
success get together and stand back OF measure tha
promises to meet the full requirements OF the situation
1t is therefore, earnestly to be hoped that the members
of the legislature will give house bill No 213 the full con
sderation it deserves bearing in mind the great necessity
of enacng efficient road laws and that measure was
ever before presented the lawmakers Of Oregon having
stronger backing in which there is not single element
Of special or personal interest 1t seeks only to advance
the welfare of the state and hasten the construction OF
serviceabe highways upon which its growth and develop
ment so largely depends

time when he met his match, and it
was in the State of Indiana, where

not being able to live until the next

The colonel was rushing along in the

CHAPTER CXXXIX.

IL At L In NA-N-NlNs
I scarcely had time to unpack and
get settled for the long visit l told
mother [ was going to make when
the house filled up with gay house
party. All young, care-free boys and
girls. l felt as old as the tabled
Methuselah, but gradually l entered
into the spirit of the party, and then
took part in the gayety. Mother and
Elsie were evidently determined that
Zona should be as happy as possible
in the short time she was to remain
with them. Early dances, stiaT
rides, and all the innocent pleasures
of the young people were planned for
her
1 had not been home twentyfo
hours. however, before l saw that
my decision to keep my troubles
from mother was wise one. Save
when she was interested in giving
us all q good time, could see that
she had changed greatly. She had
always been rather quiet and re-
served, but now there was added a sad
ness which seemed pitiful. She would
look around the room when she thought
no one was looking, and as her eyes
rested upon something which reminded
her of father they would fill with tears.
Fortunately she had taken my visit as a
matter of course and had asked no en-
barrassing questions.
"Do you think Clifford will come
after you3" she had inquired one day
when we were alone.
"I hardly think so, I had replied;
"he is very busy" Then she had drop
