Perhaps the Roosevelt Memorial Highway" was an
unfortunate way to designate the coast road which
it is now proposed to build through Oregon. The men,
Ora may be deserved by the great American whose
it bears, but too many people who have to vote the
question at the coming special election will have the idea
impressed upon them that it purely memorial tourist
road andnot great development project which will open
up to the vast coast region of the state to settlement and
growth The far-famed Tllamook cheese which sells in
the eastern markets higher than any brand would be pro-
duced in many other sections traversed by this highway
but which inaccessible and undeveloped. Last
year these coast daymen who cannot afford to cut their
grass for hay purchased 100000 worth of hay from the
farmers of the Willamette Valley. Build the Roosevelt
highway and in few years this amount will grow to-
100000 year. Good roads, all in process of i'm
provement will tap this highway from the valley section
at the mouth of the Columbia at Tillamook bay, at
Yaquna bay at the mouth of both the Susaw and Ump
qua rivers at Coos Bay and at the mouth of the Rogue
river 1t must really day in order to complete

CAMP LEWIS WON'T d:
Be CUT N SIZE
ORIGINAL SITE OF 10000 ACRES
IS TO BE RE- !.
TANNED.

The Camp Lewis reservation will
be retained at its original size OF
about 10000 acres, according to an
nouncement of officials of the war de-
partment this week.. Several of the
officials said that the plan of re-
ducing the government reservation
by about 10000 acres had not been
brought to their attention and that
SO far as they knew such action
would not be, countenanced.
1t is thought that the effort to re-
duce the camp site in size grew out
of the fact that number of the
owners of property in the tract have
retained an attorney, w. H. Abel of
Montesano, in an effort to have the
government reject distant portion
OF the reservation and return the
property to the original owners.
The property under contention lies
q considerable distance from the
ground actually occupied by the
camp and has not been used by the
government. The farmers and prop
erty holders of the district are maxi
ing the effort to get the land back
in belief that its return would in no
way affect the future of the army
camp. r.
Congressman Albert Johnson made
the statement that he had no inten-
ton of taking any part in the dis
pute.

into flock prosperity. Unlike such

for his family table, in addition to
enjoying his work.

chicken house was equipped with four
rabbit hutches designed according to
the directions of the United States
! department of agriculture.
In the main he raised Belgian hares
only during the fall, winter and early
spring up to the time of the setting
season, when the space occupied by
the rabbits was needed by the hens.
Then he would reduce his rabbitry to
the minimum point. In this way the
rabbit quarters provided plenty of
space. by the use of partitions, for
six or more setting hens at time.
After the Matching season the owner
would place the broody hens in the
same pen with several rabbits, as the
presence and hopping about of the
rabbits would ultimately break the
hens of their broodiness.
The remarkable thing about these
embarrassing operations was that
valuable food was produced from
weeds and waste, as practically the
only feed for the rabbits was grass
clippings, wild hay and weeds. Dur
ing the young bearing season he
would feed the does little skim
milk and small amount of oats, but
never more than one quart of oats a
week. In the course of two years
he raised and ate about Is rabbits,
weighing an average of two pounds
apiece. All this meat was produced
as by-product Of his poultry opera
tions with small expense or trouble.
Another desirable point about the
rabbits was that they required little
care as compared with poultry. The
! rabbits cwere' fed at any time of the
day or night with satisfactory results.
at is a comparatively simple mat
ter to kill and dress two rabbits in
10 minutes" remarked the suburban
lite, but l never was able to pick and
dress a single chicken in less than
double that period. My family did
not tire Of the rabbits, because, as a
rule, we altrnated the rabbit flesh
with chicken and other fresh meats.
The profits which realized from my
! poultry and rabbit operations came
entirely from the Belgian hares, as
my White Plymouth Rocks only about
paid expenses, since l had to pur-
chase practically all J my feed for
them. However, 1t Is a great conven-
fence for suburbanite to have on
hand two sources of fresh meat in
addition to plentiful supply of fresh
eggs" ,4s .@r4,s

HOUSE BREAKER CAUGHT
Dan Bishop Captured by Deputy
 . I. P. Hornbeck

Deputy Sheriff I. P. Hornbeck ar rested Dan or "Gip" Bishop about three miles off the road in the woods near Winchester Center Sunday evening. Bishop was arrested on the charge of breaking and entering the home of Walter King Stone and others last March. Sheriff Hornbeck has been continually working on the case, finally landing Bishop on Sun day.
 When heard before Justice Wago- ner on Monday, Bishop pleaded not guilty, but the evidence was so strong against him that he was bound over for the Superior Court in $500 bonds, in default of which he was taken to Litchfield jail. Bishop has bad record in this section which will count against him when his case is tried.

MILE. VERLET TO GIVE
 CONCERT WEDNESDAY
Rare Opportunity is Offered to Canaan Music
 Lovers

Next Wednesday night we will have an opportunity to hear Mile.
 Verlet, the "little Belgium Queen of Song' as she is lovingly called in her own home country near Brussels.
 Mile. Verlet came to America di- rect from the Paris Grand Opera Company where she was premier lcoloratura soprano. She had a bril- liant reputation which she acquired in musical centers of Europe, and her coming to America has only in- creased her fame. For American music lovers were not at all disap- pointed in Mile. Verlet's marvellous voice, in spite of her great reputa- ton.
 Mile. Verlet was in Brussels, or rather at her house near Brussels, when. the war broke out. Of course, she and her mother were obliged to close their house and flee in haste, just getting away before the Ger mans advanced.
 Her brother was less fortunate, however. He was retired officer in the Belgium army and after seeing his sister and mother safely out of the country, he determined to go back and offer his services to fight the foe. Before he could reach Ant werp, however, he was arrested by the Germans. Arrested" we call it but the German way of making the arrest in this case was to knock MT. Verlet down, beat him with the butts of their rifles and then force him to march several miles to Brussels, where he was imprisoned and left two days without food. But the gaoler was Belgium, so MT. Verlet was able to escape by bribing him, and was finally taken to a hospital. MT. Verlet's injuries proved so serious that he spent fourteen months in bed. He was quite unable to work and so escaped deportation to Ger many.
 Mile. Verlet herself has become an enthusiastic American. While she is intensely devoted to her own coun- try still, the warm reception she has received in America has caused a great affection to grow up in her heart for the people of this country. So she is very happy singing her way into the hearts of her new friends.
 Wednesdays concert will be an in vitation affair and the musical fans of Canaan will be there in full force. This concert will be a long looked for opportunity to hear the wonder ful golden voice of the gifted Bel gian.

SAFETY RECORD DRIVE
Local Roads Decrease Accidents by
 Eighty Per Cent

The employee of all Railroads un- der Government control are watching with great interest the result of the National Railroad Accident Proven tion Drive, now under way. For the first ten days of the Drive the Ma tion's Railroads as a whole show a reduction in accidents of 58 per cent over those for the same period last year.
 On the roads which comprise the New York, New Haven and Hartford System and Central New England Railroad the advance work was so thoroughly organized and such active interest aroused through the efforts of F. w. Mitchell, superintendent of safety on the New Haven that by the cooperative efforts of all employees, in the first ten days of the drive, they have been able to reduce the number of accidents so per cent. This places them in the lead in the Eastern Region and unless all signs fail the employees intend that they shall hold this place when the final result is announced.
