Embargo for Next 60 Days

Order No. Z Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, placing an embar
go on the use of open top cars for
handling of materials other than coal
has, according to the statement of
G. P. Coleman, Highway Commits
sioner, practically stopped all road
building in the State, for the next so
days. This order has not only tied up
all contracts under way in the State,
but will seriously delay the letting
of other contracts, thoroughly demon
Ializing highway work.
This embargo applies to the use of
all open top cars east of the Mississ-
ippi River and the highway construc
ton and maintenance situation in
the State Of Virginia is much worse
than at any time during the war.
There are approximately one hundred
and twenty-five contracts in the State
which will be shut down, which will
seriously delay the construction of ap
proximately six hundred miles of
highways, at the same time stop
ping the maintenance of roads al
ready constructed.
The Highway Commissioner feels
that this is question which should
be brought to the attention of all
of the citizens of the State, since
their whole highway plan is invol-
we'd; and that the delay in carrying
forward this program is caused by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

diversions Of commuters between this
city, New York, Atlantic City. Cape

Philadelphia. One man, who carries
his pleasures as we'll as his worries

nochle in his library the other eve
ming with a crony, when the butler
entered and handed him a telegram.
He returned it unopened. ''Tll look at
1t later"
"But the messenger is waiting, SIR"
the butler respectfully demonstrated.
The fnancier read the telegram. It
said: "Struck S000-barrel gusher to-
day. Everything fine"
"Confound you, Thomas, why did
you spoil my gamer he cried.

Found hNeWs" Exauuerated

Believing that the United States was
in the throes of railroad strike and
not a wheel was turning, Frederick
R. Bartlett, wealthy sugar dealer and
engineer, Of Easton, Md, arrived at
New York on the steamship Mara
caibo from Venezuela with a power
boat and enough gasoline to run it
to his home town. Reports received In
the South American republic, he said,
had indicated that he would have to
make his way home without the aid
Of railroads or even automobiles, be-
cause of the gasoline shortage.
When Mr. Bartlett found railroads
were operating he decided neverthe.
less to make water trip to Easton.
So the boat was slung overheard and
with bis wife and daughter he chug-
ged away for home.e

MONTEREY, FRIDAY JULY 9, 1920
Favorable Reuort

]. w. Hevener, returning from his
trip to Staunton where he met mem
bers of the Highway Commission, was
able to make very satisfactory re-
port.
He was assured by ChairmanCole-
man and other members of the Com
mission that Highlands claims and
interests were in the present reckon
ing, and that plans for the present
season included work of vital impor-
lance to her people.
The first project referred to is the
four mile stretch at West Augusta,
and this, the Commissioner says, will
be let as a whole, and it is his pur-
pose to secure a contractor with am
pie modern equipement so as to facil
late the work.
He referred to the handicap occas-
toned by labor conditions, a situation
with which every section is more or
less familiar and which is felt along
every line CT industry.
Another gratifying step or forwad
movement promised for this season
is the surveying of ten miles of the
pike in our own county. The advant
age to be gained by this move is eV-
ident.
While waiting for the coming of
the new road, under Federal and
State direction, the local authorities
are called upon to make certain re-
pairs and provide measure of up
keep, and with permanent location
made, any work done by the county
can be- made to conform at least to
a certain extent to highway regulat
ions, and will not be lost when reach
ed by those in charge of permanent
work
AS stated above, the interview with
State officials is e-assuring-good
news. While in view of our urgent
needs and isolation, the wait may
seem long and the building processes
slow, it is apparent that Highlands
hope of a modern highway or
eastern outlet is no pipe-dream, and
the frank, unqualified statements of
these State officials will assuredly,
comfort some OF the boubting Thomas
es and hush the knockers. Let every
one substitute confidence and COOP
Grafton for impatience and unkind
criticism. Our local board is progress
sive and vigilent, the Augusta author
tiles may be relied upon to give us a
square deal, the State officials have
repeatedly committed themselves, Fed
eral promises and plans can hardly
be changed or thwarted by Lobbyists,
hence we will get our highway
sooned or later--and may it be sooner!

Editors See New Plant Products
An interesting exhibit of fruits and
Vegetables was prepared by the Office
of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduce
ton of the United States Department
of Agriculture for the benefit of the
agricultural editors who met in Wash
ington on June II.
Ranged upon the tables were speci
mems of cassava root, dashcen tubers,
udo shoots, passion fruit, white sap
ote fruit, chayotes, and last and best
ofall, collection of highly colored
and extremely fragrant mango fruits.
All the vegetables and fruits were
fresh and all were grown in the Unit
ed States at Governmental stations.
The culture Of some of the vegct-
ables and fruits represented at the ex
hibition is limited by climatic con-
ditions to our Southern States, but
this feature will not bar them from
the northern and western markets.
The udo, G celery-likc shoot of
Japanese vegetable, is not limited
by climate and is now being grown
successfully as far north as Nova
Scotia. 1t is a salad vegetable of par
ticularly pleasing taste and texture
something quite strange to the
American palate.
The value of the exhibit is in the
fact that each Of it's members has
passed beyond the experimental stage
of culture and may be regarded as an
accepted agricultural resource.
