THE ROAD PROBLEM.


Few improvements can be more
beneficial to this section of the north
west than good roads; by good roads
we mean hard surfaced roads; high
ways that will stand up under the
strain of heavy truck hauling. More
and more the truck is coming into its
| usefulness on the farm and as a means
of marketing the products Of the
| farm. Farmers demand good roads
now as never before. Not only do
good roads benefit the farmer but the
| merchant as well. A hard surfaced
highway from Spokane to Portland
| through Walla Walla. Milton, Free
water, Pendleton and other interme-
diate points would be the means of
diverting much tourist travel, it would
stimulate trade and scatter wealth
throughout the territory traversed. 1t
would put this section, one of the
most productive in the northwest, on
the map. A hard-surfaced highway
would also increase the value of the
land, as a fair estimate. so per cent.
Residents and taxpayers of the east
end of the county should consider the
road problem now before the people
of Umatilla county as one of much
importance; so much that if an cleo
tion is held for the voting of bonds
that there will be little opposition to a
system of good roads in this and 9TH
er sections of the county However,
It might be we'll to have definite as
surance from the highway commits
sion that the money will be expended
on roads in this section of Umatilla
county We believe If this assurance
is given there will be little opposition
to bonding the county for an amount,
that, when added to the state aid fund
for the county, will insure a hardsur-
faced road from State Line to connect
with the already completed hardsur-
face few miles this side of Pendle-I
ton. The time appears to be right
for better roads. Let's have them.

WILSON'S MEALS
NOT AS FANCY AS
THE TITLES APPEAR

PARIS. Jan. 25 While President
Wilson is known to be a frugal eater,
some of the things prepared for him
at his residence of Prince Murat have
titles in French that would give the
average American the impression the
president "is eating his head off. ="
But such is not the case. A French
version of two meals eaten by the
president on an average day would
read something like this;
Luncheon.
Hors d'oeuvre a la Franchise.
Oeufs en- concotte comtesse.
Selle de behague Vile main.
Cour de Celeri dame Simone.
FrOmages ct fruits.
Dinner.
Creme Emeraud.
Supreme de Sole vieville.
Cotellettes de levraut Berthil
Endives flamandes.
Bombe Helene.
Fromages ct fruits.
The walters on the corner. however
would call out the luncheon in this
fashion:
"Hors d'oeuvre, eggs. saddle of
lamb, praised celery and little
cheese and fruit" while the dinner in
American nomenclature would be:
Soup. fish, hare outlets, stewed
ohicory and iced pudding.

PRESS OF COUNTY SUPPORTS
ROAD BONDING PROPOSITION

the county would be the winner in any
good roads movement wherein the
state matches dollar for dollar in the
cost of construction.
The proposition appeals to every
district in the county, apparently, for
the reason that each and every dis
trict seems to be getting what it wants
in the bill as proposed.
Athenas first interest. of course. is
centered in the hardsurface comple-
tion of the macadam, before the pres
ent roadbed has deteriorated to the
extent that it's value for hardsurfacing
is totally exhausted.
Then, too, she has interest in a few
feeder roads which, with proper work
at the right time, would greatly bene-
fit the farmers who use them.

1T SPELLS GOOD ROADS.
(Hermfston Herald.l

At last the silver lining to Umatilla
county's road cloud is beginning to
appear, and at last the county court,
with the help of taxpayers from ali
parts of the county have devised a
plan that when carried out will spell
good roads to all hooks and corners
and a state highway passing through
from east to west. Perseverance has
been the watchword for years anent
a trunk line road through the county,
and this is now practically assured
should the plan carry that was evolved
at the road meeting in Pendleton
Thursday of last week. when a prop
osition found favor among represen-
tatiyes from every community in the
county to call an election for the is

No Fines Made
For PrOfiteering
NO Law WHICH PERMITS FINING
OF DEALERS FOR HIGH
CHARGES

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 90 Regard
ing rumors from many Mlnnesota
towns that merchants have been lined
for profiteering Joel M. Dickey, as
sistart United States district attor-
nsy. said today: There have been
no arrests or fines imposed IN Min
nesota for 'profiteering There is no
federal law at present under which
anyone can be prosecuted for charg-
ing excessive prices, although the at
tofney general is irving to get con-
gress to enact such statute at this
time. We have sent no agent or
agents to Fairmont or elsewhere to
investigate prices"
The yarn about shoe dealers being
fined for profteering, which has been
travelling from mouth to mouth for
the last month, first being hung on
Mason City, then Blue Earth, Albert
Lea and other cities, has reached
Fairmont
The Sentinel has been repeatedly
called by phone in the last day or
two and asked why we did not pub
lish 'sthe fact" that couple of local
merchants had been fined for charg-
ing too much for shoes.
Tho reason we have not published
it is because it is not true.
It was not true at Blue Earth, eth
er, nor at Mason City nor Albert Lea,
for we took the trouble to find out
as matter of news.
The rumors travel like wildfre, and
Of course, do much harm. 1t is re-
markable that supposedly well in
formed people will fall for such a
story as a government man" going
into a place of business, buying a pair
of shoes and then fning the merchant
on the spot because of too high q
price.
Most people nowadays have had
some schooling and have heard of the
American constitution. That document
grants to all persons the right of 6
trial when they are accused of viola
tions of the law Even should the
plead guilty, they must appear n
court before fine can be paid. In
such a case as this they would have
to go to federal court in Mankato OF
