PORTLAND GETS THE ROAD BOND MONEY

The Willamette valley counties voted strongly against
the road bond proposition because they had no faith IN
the expressed promises of its promoters that the state
in general would be benefited to any considerable
tent They believed that the real intention Of the bond
advocates was to complete system Of tourist roads for
Portland and that the bulk Of the money would be spent
along the Columbia river giving Portland paved road
to the ocean beach This forecast is verified in the appor
tionment of funds made for the present year, the state
at large securing only few thousand dollars for little
patches of pavement here and there
The Eugene Guard which supported the bond issue,
has already had it's eyes opened the situation
the following editorial will show:
Nearly 81 100000 has been allotted by the state high
way commission for the building Of roads in Oregon and
out OF this amount Lane county has been awarded the
stupendos sum of 900 help gravel five miles OF road
between Cottage Grove and the southern county line.
And we are informed that this amount given because
the county court did not want hard surfaced roads
"Of course we expected that the Columbia highway
and the roads touching Portland would receive the lions
share of the bond money but that is reason why we
should refuse accept something II the commission saw
fit to give it to u.s. We help pay these bonds and
we might as well get the benefit Of share before it is
too ate
"If the question is not too mpertnent, would like
to know for the benefit of the people of this vicinity why
the road between Cottage Grove and the county line is
not going to be paved when it would not have cost the
county cent and the burden of the maintenance
would have been shifted to the state instead OF remain
ING with the county? There may have been reasonable
objections to the $6000000 bond ISSUE and even to the
method of its passage through the legislature and to the
disposition of the funds around Portland but that is no
reason why we should refuse to join in road building
program that will be of benefit to the people of the county
as well as the entire state"

criminal act to kill day-old calf than
one six weeks old, or full grown
COW?
If the writer viii take her pencil and
figure a little bit she will find her calf,
vealing 100 pounds when six weeks old
will have consumed about roo pounds,
per cent milk. This milk is worth
at cents quart over $14 The veal
is worth at the maximum price $l3.
Don It it look like the farmer had better
take his milk to the cheese faetory2
The old sow has litter of pigs. The
farmer is up against the problem
Shall he let the pigs grow up or the
calf The pigs when they weigh 100
pounds will bring $15 They will con
sumo only half as much milk as the
calf and make up the balance on much
cheaper ration. Is it any greater sin
to kill a calf than whole little OF
pigs9
The writer of the article referred to
says it is wasteful not to grow this
meat. Let us figure little. 1t takes
about 600 pounds of grain to produce
100 pounds of meat; 600 pounds OF
grain will keep three men alive, and in
good working condition as long as 10G
pounds of meat will keep one man. The
milk fed to the calf will keep three
men alive as long as the veal grown
from the same milk would keep one
man alive. When we cease to be a
meat eating nation we can feed three
times as many people as we can from
the same resources today China, In
dia, Japan and several other thickly
populated countries had TO cut down on,
or stop, eating meat altogether several
centuries ago. l would like to know
how the world is to prevent meat be-

An Open Letter to Elder Phil C.
Hayward.

l. have read your open letter to
Salem Pastors concerning your lecture
on "The Sabbath ''-printed in
Wednesday S Journal, and have been
amused by its assumed guilelessness
/ am not now in pastoral work but am
retired after more than half a century
of such work-during which time
have seen others follow the tactics
you attempt to praetice-hence l feel
free to answer your challenge.
Your claim as a teaeher-and as
set forth in the letter named above
is worthless if not logical-and if not
consistently maintained in its logical
implications. As set forth in your let
ter your claim requires you to affirm
that for your observance of the day of
the Week popularity named "Satur-
day you have clear definite-posi-
tive Divine Authority and Command
That the Bible, by statements definite
and precise-requires that the coming
80, 19l7-be regarded
and observed as a sabbath-That said
day, by absolute Divine Appointment
and with no fraction of Human
Authority for said establishment and
dentification--will actually be-" A
Sabbath of the Lord in the full
Scripture sense of the terms.
Now hear me, Elder Hayward: You
will not read to your congregation
this statement of your claim for Sat
urday observance-and dare say that
it is illogical or unfair.
Coneeding that the statement is logi-
cal and fair-you will not dare to af-
firm it categorically-and equally you
dare not categorically deny IL: Either
you will assume to ignore it-or you
will get up wordy evasion.
Some Of ns are amusedly awaiting
your action in the case.

DEATH OF OFFICIAL

There is sadness at the city hall to-

The officials and employees there all
mourn the loss of Councilman Fine
gan, who for nearly six years has given
his services untiringly for Boise. There
was no task too large or no detail too
small for him to look after in his de-
partment Often he assisted others
when requested or when placed upon
committees that required work in their
departments.
His associates say he was careful and
painstaking in his official position and
his loss to the city will be keenly felt.
AS yet there has been no discussion
as to who will be appointed to fill out
the un-expired term of Mr.. Finegan.
His chair at the council sessions has
only been vacated once or twice since
he has served the city until he was
taken i'll. 1t will probably continue
vacant for several more sessions. The
vacancy will be filled by the mayor
and council, who will appoint eoun-
Gilman to hold the office until the next
election in the spring of 1919.
