Cascade.
The building committee OF the Cas-
cade Opera House Company has let
the contract for demonstrating the
opera house to J. B. Aitchison & Sons
for $3.50. This price is exclusive Of a
number Of eliminations such as the
steel, etc. which was purchased by
the committee some time ago to avoid
paying higher prices caused by the
rapidly increasing prices of these COM
modities. The building, including
chairs. scenery and other equipment
will cost about $4,000 and as the
building was sold to the company at a
very low price the new opera house
will easily reach value of $4,000 to
$4,000. The new enterprise is "A

PROVIDES GOOD ROADS

I am for the road bond issue be-

gon good roads and at places where
we have not good roads now, and
where we need them most. There is
only one plan before us by which we
may obtain some really good and serv-
iceable roads and that is the present
scheme of permitting the state to sell
100000 in four per cent serial bonds
to be redeemed both in principal and
interest by the revenue derived from
a state tax on automobiles. If we do
not adopt this plan we of Oregon will
continue as we have already continued
too long, with poorly drained, wretch
edly located and miserably surfaced
roads, impossible in winter and i'm
practical and expensive at all times

YOUR COUNTRY
IS CALLING YOU
Federal Government is Appealing
With Great Success for the En-
listment of Boys in the Uni
ted States Boys Work.
ing Reserve.
"Your Country needs you"

"Your Country needs you"
This appeal from the federal gov
ernment is meeting with the phenom-
enal success in the enlistment of boys
under 81 years of age who desire to
serve their country in the most COM
mendable way possible.
The enlistment of a boy in the
working reserve means only that he
has desire to be of use to his
country and government and is TAX
ing the means offered by that coun-
try and government so express him
self.
The farmer boy who helps his faith
er cultivate his acres need not leave
the home place in order to receive
the credit due him for patriotic SER
vice. A boy so situated should fill
out an enlistment blank and state at
the bottom of same that he is EN-
ployed on his fathers ranch and he
will be given the same credit as if
he had enlisted in the army or had
gone away from home to serve his
country in the same or some other ca
pacity.
1t is the intention of the govern
ment employment service, which has
charge Of the assignment work to
place as many of the town boys as
near to their homes as possible and it
is only the excess enlistment of the
neighborhood having more help than
it needs that will be sent to other
districts where there is a shortage
Of helpers in the harvest.
"Your country needs you," is an
appeal to the boys to be patriotic and
to enable them to show that they
have been patriotic because they
have served Uncle Sam in gathering
harvest that is the most important
one ever gathered by the American
farmer.

WHAT GOOD ROADS
MEAN TO MOTORISTS

Every motorist has observed how his
car accelerates when he goes from an
unimproved road to stretch of hard
surfaced; but he may not realize how
large saving of power and gasoline
that acceleration represents. If he
were to travel over hard even sur
face habitually instead of over the
average country road, his gasoline bill
would be greatly reduced A motorist
in Mississippi has figured out that
hard-surfaced roads in his community
save him $50 per year in the gasoline
consumed by single car.
In the face of these facts, Is there
any possible reason why every auto
mobile owner should not vote for the
$6,000,000 good roads bond bill'

A FINAL WORD ON
ROAD BOND BILL
Provides Immediate Construc.
tlon OF Permanent Highways
Without increasing Taxes.

Much has been said in opposition to
the good roads bond bill that has no
bearing whatever ON the measure and
which could be designed only to poi
son and prejudice the voters against it.
That being the case. the following per-
tinent facts are submitted for the in
formation and thoughtful considera-
ton of the impartial voter on the eve
of the special election June 4th:
This road bond bill proposes the is
suance of $6,00O,000 twenty-five year
four per cent bonds for the construc-
ton OF system of statewide hard
surfaced highways. The roads to be
improved are designated in the bill
and include the main-traveled roads
throughout the state.
Adequate revenue has been provided
by statute for paying both interest
and principal and retire the bonds at
maturity without increasing taxes
The money derived from the increased
automobile licenses and the existing
quarter-mill state road tax will pay
the interest and retire the bonds and
leave a substantial balance for the
construction of other roads not enum-
Grated in the bond bill.
The increased automobile license
and the state road tax are provided by
statutes now in effect and will have
to be paid regardless Of whether or
not the road bonds are voted at the
special election June 4th.
The automobile owner Is willing to
pay the increased license. All that he
asks Is that the license money, which
has to be paid anyway, be expended in
constructing the roads proposed in the
bond bill. The automobile owner will
provide all of the money necessary to
meet the interest charges and retire
the bonds. He fails to see why there
should be any opposition to the eZ-
penditure of the money so provided in
the construction of good roads, in view
of the fact that it is his money that
will pay for the improvements.
All of the money raised from the
bonds will be expended under the d.
rection of the State Highway Commis-
sion, appointed by Governor Witty
combe. The Commission has announc-
ed that in expending the fund all Sec
tions of the state will be considered
irlpartially. A dollars worth of road
construction for every dollar expended
is guaranteed by the Commissioners,
who have declared that they will pur-
chase one or more paving plants and
lay paving unless satisfactory bids are
submitted by paving contractors. Or
dinary common-sense business princi-
pies will also govern the Commission
ers in their work of road building.
Scarcity of labor and the reasonable
ness of wartime prices for materials
will determine the time for inaugural
ing work and the scope of actual road
construction. Road building will not
be undertaken by the Commission un-
less conditions are favorable.
Approval of the road bond bill June
4th will be an Endorsement of a plan
that insures for the state the construc-
tion of a system of hard-surfaced roads
with funds already provided by law
and without increasing other taxes

Poor roads are very expensive things
for country communities. The farmer
who thinks Tat improved highways
are mainly for the benefit of those
who drive automobiles should reflect
on the result of a recent investigation
by the Department of Agriculture,
which finds that the cost of hauling
farm produce over ordinary country
roads is % eents ton, whereas over
hard.surfaced roads it is only 10 cents.
