Big Federal Fund
For Highway Work

Announcement made in the senate
at Salem that congress had enacted
legislation appropriating $50, ,00O, 900
for road-building for the year 1918
SIS, 100000 for 1920. and $75, ,OO0,-
900 for 1921, caused the state high
way department to issue statement,
showing what Oregon's share would
be up to 1922, contingent upon the
states matching the amount dollar
for dollar. According to the esti-
mate, 0regon's share will be s4,-
299,9S2.40. For this amount the
match money is not provided, but
could be taken from the $4,000, 900
bond issue authorized by the pres
ent legislature.
At present the state has author
lied $1,S19,2S0.55 in Bean-B Barrett
bonds to match federal appropria.
tions, and to meet the additional gov
ernment appropriation. The $4,-
299,9S2.40 must come from another
source.
Oregon's total share of federal
funds is s6,119,262.95. which is par
TALLY matched by the available Bean
Barrett bonds.
For the years 1919, 1920 and 1921
the state will have available in the
neighborhood of $23,OOO,0 900 for
road-building, according to figures
and estimates of Representative Den
mis-, of the house roads and highways
commission. From the $4,000, 900
bonds of the 1917 enactment there
remains $2,50O,OO0. The Bean-Bar-
rett act will provide $1,S19,O00.
while the big road bill of this ses-
sion Of the legislature calls for an
issue of $10,O0O,OO0, and available
government money for the three
years is $6,119,262.95. 1t is esti.
mated that the revenues from the
tax on gasoline and distillate estab-
lished at this session will amount to
100000, while the quarter-mill tax
will produce about 100000. Lii
cense money for motor vehicles will
be estimated at 100000 for the
present year and for the years 1920
and 1921 the license estimate is $2,-
900, 900.
On the basis of the states assess
ed valuation of $sS7,5SS,S96, the
state may have a bonded indebted
ness of per cent for road purposes,
or sl9,75O,677. Since the enactment
of the $4,000, 900 road bill and in
cluding the 100000 issue of 1917
and the bonds under the Bean-Bar-
rett act, the bonded Indebtedness is
now $171S0,31O. If the Roosevelt
military highway bill is passed it
will call for $2,5OO,OOO more in bonds
which will leave only $27O,S67 shor;
OF the constitutional limitation.

foreman for the railroad company.
Luck was killed Saturday afternoon
at about 1880 o'clock, dying not by
drowning, 1t Is believed, but by blows
received on the head from driftwood
in the lake. The water was four
feet deep where the body was found.
He had climbed the pole with his
safety belt strapped about it, as is
customary.-Coos Bay Times.
A. l.. Kitchin, now OF Berkeley,
California, a representative of the
John Nix Company, commission mer-
chants OF New York and Chicag, %
who has been here for the past few
days contracting with local growers
ot broccoli for this years crop, left
this morning for the south. Accord.
ing to Mr.. Kitchin. who formerly
managed the Umpqua Valley Fruit
Union, and made his home in this
city, he has secured about 20 cars
Of broccoli for which the prevailing
market price will be paid at the
time the shipment is made. The
California substitute for cauliflower,
which Is now on the market, is bring
ing good pride and as conse-
quence the local growers are assured
o. profitable output this year, in
view of the fact that the Oregon pro-
duct is far superior to that raised in
California and always brings a fair
premium over the price received by
the California growers, Mr.. Kitchin
will probably return to this city at
some future date, but has nothing
further in view here at this time.
