Yes, there's dust in these few short
miles, layers of il that rapidly trims

great amount of rain TO provoke such
action.
Bad GO4og Short.
But this little stretch Of highway"
should not be allowed to change the
mind of any motorist who contemplates
making the trip. These conditions ex-
tend over only seven or eight miles Of
the road and from there on the going
is good.
Taken from the standpoint Of scenic
beauty and the opportunities for reere-
alton and sport which Il affords, the
trip is one Of the most delightful that
can be devised. Until one gets up into
the Coast Range mountains, which are
low where this road crosses, the scenery
is naught but a repetition Of the fields
orchards and wooded patches thGt are
seen all through the valley. But IN the
mountains, over the summit and down
the further side clear to the coast the
panorama is ever changing and delight
ful. Where the road winds through
the great reaches Of timber the air has
cool, different frangranee. Everything
on the western side Of the mountains
has that "coastyn appearance.
Fishing Now Good.

all the way through TO Tllamook 70

closer alternative. II lies about ton
miles of the main highway on q side

Besides the salt water fishing which
one naturally expects and finds around
the beach resorts, this trip affords good
trout fishing in Three Rivers and mum
erous other small streams along the

is reported as excellent

RAILROAD
FROM MEHAMA INTO
BIG TIMBER DISTRICT

A trip to the town Of Mehama, the
first of the week, revealed the fact
that work has at last started on the
ff7e miles Of railroad that win be built
into the big timber up in the noun
tains.
The road starts from the c. & E.
road about mile west of Lyons and is
headed straight towards Silverton. 1t
will penetrate a large tract of timber
which is said to belong to the Silverton
lumber mills.
liver r. Rosten of Portland has the
contract for the grading and work was
commenced the first of the month.
AT present there are two camps. No.
camp is located at Burdecks, which
will be known as the head camp and
where W. d. Haley, who has been in
this territory for some time buying
right Of way for the company, will be
located. No. camp is located on tf-s
Kubin place above Mehama. This camp
is under course of construction and
will be completed by the first of next
week.
p. G. Hogan and Mr.. Hanson, who
are on the ground have charge of all
the grading and ledge work, and they
state they will employ about $50 men
in the two camps.
The estimated time in which it will
take to complete the road is five
months.
The company win also construct a
steel bridge across the SaBtiam river
near Mehama and the work of build;
ing the concrete piers will be started
Immediately. This piece of work will
be one of the first that will be com
pleted and win give work to a number
of men outside of the road construe-
.tion.
Rumor has il that a saw mill will
be erected at Mehama. The site has
been purchased, but the writer was
unable to get any data as to when
work will be started on the mill.
With the building of the new road
Mehama, and her sister town, Lyons
viii take on new life. Houses in both
towns are filling up and business is on
the upgrade.-Stayton Mail

RAILROAD WILL TRAVERSE
EASTERN MARION COUNTY

In an interview with J. W. Foster Of
the Myler Construction company and
Lynott, representative manager Of the
Portland 4 Southeastern railroad, this
week we learn that they have secured
right Of way from Selah Springs run
ming this way TO the Lambert place.
Mount Angel has given the company
yard room and has secured eight and
a half miles of right Of way. Sublimity
has also given twelve miles and clear
sailing through the town. This brings
the road close to Stayton, but there It
seems to have met with an obstrue-
tion.
Mount Angel has had a couple Of
meetings and there is another sehedul-
ed for Monday night. Sublimity is in
line but when II comes to Stayton il
sort of dies down.
According to Mr.. Foster Of the Ny
Ter Construction Co., the Z. q S. n.
will build from Mt. Angel, on the west
side Of the Cascades to Bend, via Sis
ters, then southeast TO Nevala, where
it will ultimately connect up with the
Western Pacific, thereby gaining an
outlet from Portland to San Francisco.
For the last several weeks, crews
of engineers numbering upwards Of 30
men have been under the direction Of
Mr.. Foster, making preliminary sur
veys on the summit. These surveys are
being rushed with all possible speed
and viii be completed within the next
few weeks, after which the crews III

KrLL1AN sAwA1LL BURNS

The portable saw mill belonging 70
John Killian and located on the John
Armstrong timber tract west of the Sii-
yer Cliff school house, was entirely
wiped out by fire Sunday between the
hours Of II and CLOCK p. m. How
the fire started no one seems 20 know.
Just before the fire was discovered
one Of Mr.. Kilian 5 sons was at the
mill and everything seemed to be al
right. When the mill was found to be
on fire and the scene Of eonflagration
reached. the mill was burning fiereelg
around the sawyer's stand. It was i'm
possible to c0mbat the flames and the
mill was soon reduced to ashes. About
the only salvage in the mil is the pos
sible use again Of the main part Of
the engine boiler.
The estimated loss Of the mill is
$500. besides ahout $500 worth Of
raiIroad ties which were consumed
when the mill burned. There was no IN
surance. The insurance on this mill,
Hhieh was elassed as 3 dry mill, Is al
most prohibitive.-silverton Appeal.

INCREASED PRODUCTION ONLY
REMEDY FOR HIGH PRICES OF
STAPLE COMMONWEALTH Ms

for ourselves, We are still investing I'M
meRsa sums in oil, shipping, chemical
and foreign enterprises. The resamp
tion of building IS slow because Of
high costs and the difficulties Of max
ing large loans. Any change for the
better in these directions would cause
sharp revival in construction work.
The steel industry shows symptoms Of
revival While railroads, the best Gus
toners, are buying sparingly for Obyi-
Gus reasons, the oil and agricultural i'm
plement makers have been large pur
ehasers. The demand for export trade
is also improving, lower ocean freights
being a stimulus in this direction. Tex
tiles are in brisk demand in spite Of
abnormally high prices, and The scare
ity of goods makes deliveries slow and
difficult, many mills being sold far
ahead. The coal situation is somewhat
critical owing to the scarcity Of labor,
coupled with large home denand and
growing inquiries from abroad Gener-
ally speaking, the labor outlook is EN-
barrassing, and is not made easier by
the advancing tendency Of prices. EN-
ployers frequently show a readiness 20
meet reasonable demands, and adjust
ment on both sides has been facilitated
by development of spirit OF mutual
consideration and by elimination Of
the radical disturbers who too often
assumed the leadership in labor prob
lens.
Market Tendencies
The stock market appears to be DRIFT
ing into a new stage. The buying power
is excellent and there is no abatement
in underlying confidence in the future;
but there is a decided change Of atti-
tude toward stocks which seem to have
been over enthusiastic in diseounting
the future. In such quarters there has
/ been more or less liquidation and con
sequent unsettlement Of values. This
process promises to continue, and will
be aeeentuated by indispOsition of the
banks TO encourage undue speculation.
Sharp declines occurred in some of the
speeialties, and profit taking was quite
conspicuous at times Such operations
leave the market in sounder eondi-
tion, and serve to divert attention TO
securities hitherto neglected. Steel, oil,
shipping and other industrial shares
were particularly active. In steel there
was considerable liquidation, in spite
Of large amounts of untitled orders,
the effect Of which had been discount
ed in advance. Railroad securities did
not receive their full share of atten-
tion, probably because Of poor earnings
and the fact that many Of the roads
are dependent upon government guar
antee for their dividends. Quotations,
however, have been sustained by be-
lief that the government will deal fair
ly with the roads, and that heavy
crop movement and trade improvement
next autumn will result in sufficient
earnings to offset increased expenses.
Much interest naturally exists as to
what the policy of the new congress
will be, now that the president has re-
turned.
