SALEM, Ore-The sale of Liberty
 Bonds in the road camps where em- rloyes of the state highway commis-
 sion work has proved to be an i'm
 petus to greater endeavor in road building, besides raisil 2 large sums
 -or the government, according to
 State Highway Engineer Herbert
 Nunn. Patriotic enthusiasm gener-
 ated in the road camps of Oregon
 by bond campaigners resulted in greater zeal in construction work
 and the lowering of unit costs, the
 engineer declared. Regarding the
 increase in work performed, En- gineer Nunn said:
 This entirely gratuitous assist
 ance given by the men had such an enlivening effect upon them that am pleased to report distinct drop in unit costs due clearly to greater performances with the eight hour
 working periods since that time" At one camp the Liberty Loan committee made arrangements to visit the employees in company with the contractor in charge of the work. The contractor L. o. Harold, addressed the men at each gathering. explaining that the purchase of bonds was not compulsory, but that every
 man owed it to himself as an Ameri-
 can citizen, to buy bond and assist the government in conducting the war. He told them that he had
 a checkbook and fountain pen ready
 and that any man who desired could
 have an advance on his wages, up to the amount then due him, for the purchase of bonds. Substantial sales were made at that camp.

Canadians with the keenest bitter.

Canadians with the keenest bitter
 ness, and that feeling is not to be easily allayed He was secretary of state when the Lusitania was sunk and when the honor Pof the
 United tSates and the cause of the Allies demanded that the United States enter the war. The subse- quent disasters of the war and the entailed deaths of thousands of AL lied troops and civilians are laid st his door. The fact that the United States is now in the war is in spite of his every effort; and the fact that he speaks so loyalty now is ! is credited to the fact that he has so . to speak. Scores of distinguished
 Americans have been welcomed and listened to with the keenest interest i in Toronto, but the presence of Mr
 Bryan called forth memories too fresh and wounds too severe to be
 easily forgotten and forgiven. Hence occurred the demonstration that is regretted by all liberty-loving people,
 The memories of Americans are provererbially short, comments an
 exchange, but they cannot be so short as to allow Americans to for get the association of MT. Bryan's
 name since the invasion of Belgium and the Lusitania massacre with pa cifists and pro-G Germans, and his per sonal association with them in public meetings. Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. In a world struggle between those who are will ing to fight for liberty and those who either fight against it or will not fight at all, MT. Bryan chose at. the outset to take his stand against those who were fighting for liberty. It is not surprising that those who have fought for liberty do not find him a welcome visitor. The feelings of the majority of Can adians are most probably expressed by those disturbers, but their judg- ment is probably better represented by the majority in that meeting who would have suffered Mir. Bryan to speak.

of the Brenta. The river itself comes
 through a rocky defile, so part of the approach is over these interven- ing mountains which reach down to the river valley.
 This Asiago region is cut by two other local valleys, which are a most important part of the mountain operations though they are not main h; ghways through the Alps. These
 are the Nalarsa ard the Astco val leys, which wind irregularly down toward Vicenza. Much is likely to
 be heard of this section in the com ing operations.
 East of the Brenta river is an-
 other part of this same Val Sugana which is also desperate fighting ground. There the enemy has made his main push to get down to tha
 open plain, and here he advanced
 furtherest, toward Baszano, yet the
 splendid bravery of the Italians held him in the mountains through the winter. He is still there, around Mount Pertico, Mount Asolone, Col
 Capriell and Col della Berretta. This
 is bloody fighting ground and it will 
 doubtless be heard from very often as the operations develop.
 Still further east comes the dom
 mating massive of Mount Grappa, midway between the Brcnta and
The Nenana daily news., 1918-05-31

Piave rivers. It is strongly held by the Italians and is one of the great citadels of Italy's natural mountain defense. Near it. rising from the Piave river, comes Mount Tomba, where the French troops made such brilliant drive last December The enemy has been comparatively quiet in this region, all the indications being that he is centering attention further west in the Asiago region and down the Brenta valley.
 This summarizes the mountain fighting ground on the Italian front, where there is gathering activity and where it is believed the big fighting is going to occur.

COLLEGE YOUTHS THROW GRENADES
 AS FIELD SPORT

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The an nouncement that the University of Washington has fallen in line with a number of other institutions and included grenade throwing as one of the regular field events has renewed the discussion as to the probable af- ter effects of the war on athletics. There are followers of track and field sports who express the opinion that there may be a revision in the list of events by the inclusion of more utilitarian events to replace those which have no particular use fitness.
 A former Princeton University athlete in speaking of the matter said:
 "The case of the hand grenade throwing contest is a good example of what may follow. It would in all probability supplant the shot put or javeline throw The shot put is not an all round developer in my opinion. It builds only small DOT tion of the body, confined particu- larly to the arm and shoulder mus cles of the hand used in hurling the missile. No accuracy is required, distance being the only thing to be attained by the contestant.
 Grenade throwing calls for both distance and accuracy. It also would be a utilitarian event for the reason that thousands of young men incidentally would be learning how to throw a missile which has become one of the most important weapons of defense and offense in modern warfare"
 The hammer is another event for which a substitution might be effect ed by borrowing from the list of events used in military games. There is nothing particularly spec tacular in events for the onlooker such as is afforded, for instance, by the pole vault, enc of the most thrilling of the present field events Javehn throwing as an event in the days when men fought with arrows and spears would have served the same purpose as grenade throwing today. But the javein is now ob- solete. ,
 It is rot likely that anyone wants to do away with the spectacular, but events which are neither spectacular nor of any particular use might be supplanted with competition that furnished little of both these ele- ments.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BRYAN

When William Jennings Bryan, former secretary of state, rose to convey the greeting of great tenn perance organizations in the United States to monster prohibition con- vention in Toronto on the last day of Februray, he was met by hoots, cat-calls, and shouted remarks of derision.
 What about the Lusitania?"
 Put out the pro-Germanw
 He held back the United States. y
 We don't want him."
 "Saurkraut!"
 There were answering shouts of Put them out" and Where's your fair play?" but the disturbers kept up the noise. They sang "Ovcr There,' ' Rule, Britannia" and "The Maple Leaf Forever" The chairman tried to restore order, Dpt was met with shouts:
 ''Put Bryan off the platform and we'll be quiet"
 Put him out a we'll go out too. ]"
 Then a wounded veteran, Major Nasmith, appealed to the distubers.
 Boys" he said, "our men are fighting for liberty and freedom in Europe. Let us have it here"
 But many of the men who were making the disturbance had them selves been in the trenches and fight ing for liberty; and the sight of Mr. Bryan as he started to speak set them eff again. Nothing that MT. Bryan said could be heard twenty five feet from the platform. The great majority in the assemblage wanted him ito have a hearing, but the disturbers could not be quieted; :; and MT. Bryan requested that no force be used by the police, for he said that he was not willing that any one should be hurt in an effort to make it possible for him to speak. So Mir. Brya.- had to content him self with dictating a statement to reporters.
 Afer he had stood his ground for an hour and departed, many express ed their regret at such an occur ence; but the feeling of the men on the street was that Bryan got what was coming to him." and that the convention made great mistake in putting such a speaker upon Canadian platform just now.
 A Canadian correspondent writes that:
 -Four years ago no more popular visitor of the United States to Can ada could be found than MT. W. '. Bryan. But, he says. it is not so now. The actions of the peace advo- cate since the war began have filled
