WHERE MONEY WILL BE SPENT

The New Highway Commission has met organized and
divided the state into three districts to be each looked
after by one commissioner. At the same time it was
agreed that the first work would be done where at
would do the greatest good to the greatest number
This means the first money will be spent in completing
the breaks in the Columbia Highway Senator Olson in
discussing the bill remember his figures said it
would take about $750000 to complete the work in
Columbia county, and about $I50000 in Hood River
county.
1t will no doubt be agreed by the commission that
the completion of these unfinished sections of the great
highway will do the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber and so it will naturally to it that that work is
done first No doubt this will cause some complaint from
other sections, but the start has be made somewhere
and matter where would be made other points would
IND fault We are~not intmating the money should be
spent on that highway nor are we suggesting that it
should not At the time there is considerable arg-
ment to be made in its favor AIultnomah county mas
spent millions in perfecting the Columbia Highway one
OF the most magnificent scenic roads in the world and
deserves aid in completing it.
The argument for or against such use of the money
would turn largely on the conception has as to what
is proper expenditure of the road funds Were they
created for the purpose of building roads for pleasure
for development and opening up the country 1t would
seem the intent to reach both these results This
being the the expenditure the scenic route even
though it takes the preference meet no inSurmoun
able objections 1t might be better for the other counties
that will have to prepare their road beds before they
get any benefits from the law, that the commission
be allowed to try its hand the highway, and get
experience would also give the other counties chance
to profit by the results of this work
There is one contingency that may alter ones view of
the matter and that is if the bonds should fail to be
voted In that case while the highway commission will
still be in charge Of the states road construction there
would be lack of funds to do any work other roads
should the Columbia Highway be completed first
There will be the funds provided by the legislature for
matching such money given the state by the general
government and there will be the funds derived from
doubling the auto licenses, that is all.

WHAT THE PLANETS
PROMISE FOR 1917

A terrible climax in the European
war will come during the latter part
of January, and should hostilities be
continued up to that period, it is
written in the stars that peace can
not be delayed beyond the early
months of 1917.
January is a critical month for the
United States, and the astrologer pre-
diets some assault or disaster that
will shock the nation. This will
come between the sixth and the tenth
and will occur at a place of entertain
ment.
1t is probably that the threatened
railway strike cannot be averted and
it Will seriously involve the people
and the government.
One of the notable features of the
year will be the enormous strides
made toward the solution Of problems
of justice.
There are indications of turbulent
conditions on the Mexican border
during the year.
Serious shipping disasters on the
Atlantic coast during the early part
of 1917 are likely to take place.
Following Feb. 10 there will be
period Of exceptionally warm wealth
er. There will be another spell of
very warm weather about the time
of the vernal equinox and a period of
unseasOnably warm weather during
the winter of 1917-18. This will be
confined to the eastern part of the
United States, particularly the north
eastern section, while the Mississippi
valley and Rocky mountain districts
will have very cold weather.
Women will figure largely in the
legislative affairs of the nation dur
ing the year.
While the diplomatic affairs of the
nation will be filled with vexations
periods, there will be no break.
A religious wave will spread
the Mississippi valley during
the summer months.
prosperity during the year, and Au-
There will be successive waves of
gust will see these reach a very high
point. The summer resorts will
break all records for business.
The Pacific coast figures largely in
the events of the coming year, for
here will be fought out a battle be-
tween privilege and democracy.
The most threatening period in the
relations between the United States
and other nations is indicated for
next November.

the most persistent figures. To quail.
