Big ROADS PLAN
HAS BEEN OUTLINED

Cooperation of other western states
with Oregon will be sought in an effort
to attract the attention of congress to
the need for an Appropriation for ma
tional forest roads totaling SIS. 600. 900
or more, decided the Mount Hood Loop
Road association at meeting held in
Portland last week. Through such an
appropriation only could sufficient
money be made available for compile.
tion of 37.2 miles of the proposed loop
road living in the national forest, it is
believed.
On committee which will appear
before the state chamber of commerce
and urge a conference with other
western states, so that concerted ac-
tion may be taken in demanding of
congress additional funds for roads in
national forests. were appointed Julius
l.. Meier. chairman. Portland; W. l..
Thompson, Portland; Rufus c. Holman,
chairman of the loop association, Port
and Leslie Butler. Hood River, and
II s. Anderson. Oregon City. Com
missioner Hannum was present for the
meeting.
HC appeal W NOIlBttcH WOuiu Dt
made for general distribution of an APP
preparation throughout the western
states. in proportion to the length of
state and county roads within national
forests and also in proportion to the
area Of the lands that have been with
drawn from taxation by the national
government. No spaa al reference
would be made to the loop project,
though the appropriation secured would
take care of it.
Hard surfacing Of the entire road
about Mount Hood is thing of the
dim future. even should the appropiia-
tion sought go through congress. At
least $500, 1894 80 more than now avail
able will be needed for grading alone
Of the 81 miles through the national
forest. Fourteen miles from the Zig

graded, under contract, for an eXpen-

government funds available for grad

The estimated cost of this grading is

HIGHWAY STRETCHES
BEING SURFACED

Except for a small bit of rock work
and little cleaning up, Contractor
Kibbee has completed grading the
stretch of Columbia Highway between
here and Ruthton hill. Preparations
are being made for surfacing of
crushed rock.
Crews are nearing completion of
grading on the six mile stretch of
Highway between here and Mosier.
Both Of the tunnels are completed.
Nine: big motor trucks are busy haul
ing gravel, giving the rough, new
grade surfacing that will pack into an
excellent road by spring. it is said. A
steam shovel, used in the Hood River
Ruthton link of road, has been moved
to gravel pit uncovered in excavat-
ing for one of the -four loops by which
the new highway ascends from the city
level TO the range of mountains east
of here. The trucks are loaded with
the big shovel.
The Hood River -Mosier stretch of
the road will be open before January |.

BRIDGE AT CASCADES
BEING CONSIDERED

A bill giving consent Of congress to
the Interstate Construction Company
to build bridge across the Columbia
river near Cascade Locks, by which to
connect the Evergreen highway with
the Columbia Highway, has been intro
duced in congress by Senator Jones.
The bill also grants license to build
approaches on the Oregon side through
a small strip of ground owned by the
government. The bridge is to be a
single span structure. 1t is thought
that this calls for the location of the
one span bridge at the lower end of
the government locks where the river
is narrow and where piers can easily
be constructed.

by rain which fell at intervals dur

and feature OF the last days pro-

some of the most famous and daring
racers in the Pacific northwest.
These provided thrills a-plenty and
proved an appropriate and entertain

particularly out OF patience with
strikes merely to aggrandize power
for the labor unions over Sndustr,
and all else"
There is more truth than gentle
ness in this statement. There is alsC
a good deal of fitness in the world:
application OF 1t to the strike of stee
workers. following as it does Sc
closely upon the proposed walk-out
of the railroad shop-workers.
The public is undeniably tired
OF strikes and strike talk, and will
not tolerate any more OF 1t unles:
there is an obvious, clean-cut griev
ance which demonstrasedly cannot
be remedied in any milder way.
The majority of Americans ap
prove and support the principle oi
organized labor. There is manifest
ly general feeling that the stee
workers, like any other group of in,
dustrial workers. have perfect
right to organize unions and dea-
with their employers collectively
rather than individually, and thai
the United States Steel Corporation
is wrong in principle and practice
when it refuses to recognize thi:
right.
This public attitude, however
does not recognize any right on the
part of the steel workers to precipi.
tate strike on short notice. at this
particular time, with all the harm
to the nation that such a srike would
bring. The appeal made on behalf oi
the federal government by President
Wilson. asking the men to postpone
action until after the labor confer.
ence which meets in Washington
early in October. is a reasonable one
and has strong public support.
The steel men themselves have
more to gain by following that sug
gestion than by launching a great
labor war now. In all probability
they can obtain recognition" with,
out war, If they act reasonably about
1t.
The American industrial situation
today is comparable to the European
political situation in July, 1914. Lei
neither side play the Prussian.

.POU[TRYMEN MUST
GULL OR co BROKE

Commercial poultrymen must Gull
the poor layers or, go broke ut the
game" said James Dryden to VIII
lamette valley growers who recent
ly assembled at the college TO learn
the why and the how OF culling. "All
growers must Gull or lose money on
their fooks. Even the best bred
young flocks OF the country have
about % per cent of the money-los-
ers that must be taken out or lose
as much as the good layers make
The experiment stations have devel-
oped method Of picking out the
non-layers because the need OF Gull
ing Is universal"
Time OF moult. yellow color and
condition OF comb and abdomen. are
the signs by which the skilled grow
er can separate the good from the
poor layers. the poultrymen we're
told. College records show that the
hens that were the good layers In
September and october are the good
layers the rest OF the year. The re-
cords OF the good. poor and medium
layers we're charted, and the lines OF
egg production by the groups never
crossed, Hence II the owner selects
the hens that lay we'll in these two
autumn months he has picked the
heavy layers.
The good fall layers moult late
and soon complete the moult, Early
moulters and longtime moulters are
poor layers
Non-layers OF the yellow skinned
breeds have bright yellow beaks,
shanks, ear lobes. inner eye rings,
and vent. Good layers keep the yell
low laid out in the yelks OF the eggs
laid.
Good layers have a large comb for
the breed. soft. bright red. waxy
and warm. Non layers the reverse.
Good layers have flexible abdo-
men, rather wide and deep. with
thin. Widespread pelvic bones. The
distance between the pelvic bones
and back of keel bone Is wide. At
least two fingers should liesbetween
the pelvic bones and three fingers
between the pelvic and keel bones.
by observing these points you
will be able to 90 home and pick out
a good fat hen for your Sunday din
ner without getting one that has
eggs In her" says Professor Dryden

R. c. SEALS TO AGAIN
ADORN XMAS PACKAGES

Once more are the Red Cross
Christmas seals to adorn our holi-
day packages and letters. The sale
OF the seals which was omitted last
year in Difference to the Red Cross
and its membership drive, will be re-
sumed December on more COM
prehensive scale than ever before.
Oregon's quota is $44,260.
A survey of the state shows that
there are at all times $500 open
cases OF tuberculosis in Oregon. Two
hundred and twenty-four Oregon sol
diers we're discharged after being in
the service less than three months,
on account of tuberculosis and 900
we're rejected by the local board.
The association is now employing
two special nurses who are devoting
their entire time TO the care of these
discharged men. The names Of the
men visited were furnished to the
Oregon association by the surgeon
general.
A tremendous fight against tuber-
culOsis is to be waged during the
coming years by the state and ma
tional tuberculosis associations. The
work of these organizations is fin
anced chiefly by the sale Of Red
Cross Christmas seals. OF the pro-
ceeds from the Oregon sale 80 per
cent will remain in Oregon.

NO PRUSSIANIsM NOW

Public sympathy can still be COM
manded for a strike to satisfy griev-
ances which are obviously real" says
the New York World But beyond
this point the public patience has
been exhausted. The people at large
are fed up on strikes. They are
thoroughly tired of the innumerabIe
hair-trigger performances along this
lines. They are wearled to death
with threatened outbreaks which
have no other explanation than a
mental condition of unrest. They are
