SQUARE DEAL IS ASKED
FOR WESTERN OREGON

Tillamook, Or. May Is, 1919.
To the EDITOR
Will you allow me space in your
valuable paper to say a few words
in regard to the reconstruction
measures to be voted upon in June,
from coast county view point?
You are we'll aware that Western
Oregon is one of the most produc-
tive vet undeveloped sections OF
the state. The people of the coast
counties have never complained, but
with true western grit and deter
mination they have had to contend
with adverse circumstances on ac-
count of lack of roads and bad
Transportation; consequently, It Is
not surprising that all the coast
counties are united and greatly in
terested in the proposed Roosevelt
Highway. which will be the means
of opening up to settlement a large
amount of valuable land suitable
for dairiyng, and land that is SINH
lar to that of Tillamook county,
where the dairymen have made
such a great success of cheese-mak-
inQ. 1t may interest you to know
that the dairy herds of Tillamook
county produced 45,l00, loo pounds
of milk last year, and this made 81
036, 800 pounds of cheese, valued at
s1.852,694. This will be duplicat-
ed many times if the Roosevelt
Highway is built, and the coast
counties will prodcue more cheese
than is produced in Wisconsin
and some of the other cheese pro-
ducing states of the east, for the
reason that climatic conditions are
ideal for cheese making in the coast
counties. The dairymen and grang-
ers are all lined up in these coun-
ties for the Roosevelt Highway.
What the coast counties want is
an opportunity to develop Western
Oregon. They now appeal to the
generous and magnanimous spirit
Of the people of Oregon to help
them do SO, as Western Oregon has
received but slight recognition in
the way of improvements but has
always cheerfully paid its taxes
some of which has gone to develop
other parts of the state. All that
Western Oregon wants is a square
deal, and | am sure if the people OF
the state knew of the undeveloped
resources that are in the coast
counties they would readily cast
their votes in favor of the Roose-
yelt Highway measure. 1t will be
a market road, but at the same
time it will be used for pleasure by
more people living in Portland,
Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon
and the willamette valley than by
people living in the coast counties,
and it will outclass the Columbia
Highway for scenic beauty and pic
turesoueness, as it passes through
a most interesting part of Oregon.
The people of the coast counties
are almost as much interested in the
other reconstruction measures as In
the Roosevelt Highway, as will be
seen by straw vote taken in Tilla-

GOVERNOR WILL HELP INTERIOR
 CONSERVE FISH

The protest forwarded to Cover nor Riggs by the local Commercial club, calling attention to the fact that the operations of the Carlisle cannery near the mouth of the Yu- kon river are working a hardship on the people of Interior Alaska, and seeking the prohibition of fur ther commercial fishing on the Yu- kon, is beginning to get results. That is, the matter has been taken up by the governor of the territory and formally presented by him to representatives of the bureau of fisheries. That action was taken several days ago, according to d message received from Juneau early in the week in reply to the protest sent by the club.
 Another encouraging message was received from the territorial capital today, from G. F. Cramer, the gov ernor's secretary. in which 1t Is stated the bureau of fisheries has a representative in the Interior inves- tigating conditions.
 Officers of the club are highly pleased with the results obtained thus far, and firmly believe that CO., operation on the part of the people of Interior Alaska will result in the speedy withdrawal of permits for commercial fishing in Interior wa ters.
 The telegram received by Secre- tary Diven today reads as follows:
 Bureau of fisheries advises they have agent Investigating fishing in Yukon. The law provides no com mercial fishing, except for local re- quirements, after August 31."

KAN1|SHNA HAS
 TOWN LAID OUT
 FOR NEWCOMERS

Confident that mining activities now in progress and contemplated in the Kantishna country soon will attract a considerable number of people 10 that district, the oldtimers there have laid out a townsite on Moose creek, at the mouth of Eu- reka, where locations for business places and cabins can be secured for a nominal sum. The property is owned by the Quigleys, but the lots are being handled by Commissioner C. Herbert Wilson, as agent, who is now in Nenana for the purpose of gathering a stock Of goods to- gether for shipment to the new town before the close of naviga- tion.
 The new town, which has been named Kantishna. is in the midst of the. present activities in that dis trict, the location being such as to make certain close proximity to fu- ture operations, insuring the per manency of the location. In fact, it is claimed by those who know that the location is the most cen tral that could have been selected.
 The townsite is 30 miles from Roosevelt, the station on the river where supplies for the camp are landed during the summer There is good connecting pack-trail be- tween the two places, which eventu- ally, the Kantishnaites hope, will be improved so as to permit the use of wagons.
 By the winter route, the new town is about 70 miles from the Government railroad, by way of the Singleton roadhouse.
 Commissioner Wilson, who also is postmaster for the district now, hay ing received his appointment a short time ago, has established his head quarters at Kantishna and will transact all official business there in future. Later in the season, he will open store and trading post.

SHERMAN SAYS NG CHANCE FOR
 PEACE TREATY

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 29- In an interview published in this city today, Senator Sherman, Re publican, of this state, ventured the prediction that the present session of Congress would come to an end without reaching an agreement on the peace treaty and the League of Nations covenant The Republican members of the senate, he said, will not consent to the ratification of the treaty in its present form, and he considers it doubtful if the res ervations finally agreed upon by the Republicans will prove acceptable to the other members.
 The only solution of the prob lem, in the opinion of Sherman, is to submit the issue to the voters, and he predicts that such action will be taken during the coming year.

SENATOR WARNS COLLEAGUES ID
 PAUSE ON BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 29.- Senator LaFonette, of Wisconsin, cautioned his colleagues in the sen- ate this morning against making undue haste in the consideration of the pending oil land leasing bill. He called attention to the fact that the measure now before the senate diff fers radically from the bill favor ably reported toward the end of the last session of Congress, and sug- / gested that there might be reason for presenting the bill in different form during this session.
 The senator criticised the mem bers of the public lands committee because of their failure to give navy officials 8 hearing on the bill, to which Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, replied that the depart ment of justice and the navy de partment had employed meddling and usurping practices in interfer- ing with the powers and work of the interior department.
