Dakota Man
Compliments
This Section,

Becoming interested in the Will
lamette valley through visit
made here in early autumn, W. L.
Almquist, proprietor of the Aim
ouist Motor company, Bristol,
South Dakota, writes to the Capt.
tai Journal complimenting this
section Of the country on its di-
versity of crops and comparing
conditions here and In his own
state. The letter in part follows;
ssI was in your city September
II and while there subscribed for
the Journal and must say that |
have enjoyed reading it. It has
become the most interesting paper
that I take.
"There are a few things that I
cam understand and would like
to have little light on the matter
IL you can give 1t to me. l notice
In every issue OF your paper there
are from three to ten or more au-
tomobile accidents. Are the peo-
pie there more careless, do they
drive at faster clip, or are the
highways and streets slippery?
This has been foremost in my mind
all the time.
"The Willamette valley has the
right idea in regard to crops. i
certainly was very greatly i'm
pressed with this while there and
since have kept posted through
your columns. have never seen
such diversity OF crops. The only
thing 1 have noticed an absence of
is, Man made moonshine,' and
lately I have even noticed where
the pavement was christened with
it, so I presume that the valley
will soon list it as one of its out
puts. This, hope, won't be SO,
however.
'Here In South Dakota we raise
wheat when the weather permits.
There are also q few cows milked
and few hogs raised and this fact
has nearly put the state into bank
ruptcy---not the cattle and hogs
but the few
"Our banks have no money to
loan farmers or anyone else for
the period Of eighteen months.'

PAVING OF
SALT CREEK
HIGHWAY
Dallas Com m ercial
Club Wants Cut Off
to Tillamook Improv7
More Track

Dallas. Or, Dec. 23.-According
to a report made TO the Dalasl
Commercial club Wednesday night |
by A. b. Muir. chairman of thel
highway committee, there is every
chance OF interesting the state
highway commission in the pay
ing of the so-called Salt Creek
road from Dallas northwest to|
Wallace bridge.
u Mr.. Muir and H. A. Joslin, rep
resenting the club, attended a.
luncheon given in Salem earlier
the same day. at which the mem
3bers of the highway commission
were entertained by the William
cite Valley Highway association.
aAt this hearing Mr.. Muir stated
the argumdnts in favor OF the
Salt Creek road, pointing out that
al would become, if paved, the
popular route for practically all
travel to Tillamook coast country.
The luncheon was really held
at the instance Of the McMinnville
people who, not satisfied with hav-
ing five paved roads leading into
town are looking for another one
that will furnish direct route to
Salem via Dayton and West Sa-
lem. They seemed to expect that,
as portion Of the road would be in
Polk county, that the Dallas dele
gates would support McMinnville's
contention.
Instead of this Mr.. Muir, sup
ported by Mr.. Joslin, urged the
improvement of the Salt Creek
road, and Chairman Booth fell in
with the suggestion. stating that
the Dallas road was much the
more. important of the two. The
club will continue to urge action
by the commission.
Mr.. Joslin also stated that
Chairman Booth stated that it has
been practically. cJ1cluded that
the state must make provision for
fthe upkeep of the paved roads.
There has been some agitation in
favor of turning the roads over to
the counties once they are con-
structed.
s1 The railroads committee,
through Engineer e. ]. Hines,
made lengthy report concerning
sthe agitation in favor of the
Southern Pacific furnishing more
adequate and better local switch
ing facilities in Dallas. Three
suggestions as to extra trackage
were made by the committee. two
down town, and one out on the
main line leadIns to f..Qa I'd
extending through Millerst addi-
tion. The committee was author
lied to lay their suggestions berore
the superintendent in Oregon OF
the railroad company.
s. w. v. Fuller gave q illustrated
lecture on the timber Industry of
Oregon, The slides and machine
were FURNISHED Dy lne STATE lol-
ester, and are designed to educate
the people in the necessity OF pro-
tecting all timber from fires.
The seventh grade school pupils,
who were out screaming, made a
call ON the club. They were fn-
vited in and sang. Upon Invita-
tion they remained and saw the
pictures shown by Mr.. Fuller.
n Following the business session
light lunch Of sandwiches,
pickles and coffee were served
with Mrs. Robert Sachtler, secre-
tary OF the club in charge, and
assisted by Mrs. Jack Hatton. A
most pleasant social hour was en-
joyed by the club members follow
ing the service.

Appropriate
$4,000 For
Bonus Board

Criticism OF those sponsoring 1t
for holding up until SO late In the
session an appropriation measure
and then presenting It without no
recommendation other than that
OF the steering committee that 1t
was fit legislation to consider at
an emergency session was the re-
ception accorded house bill 30
when 1t came UP for final action in
the Thursday night session Of the
house.
The bill carries an appropriation
of 10000 for the administration
Of the soldiers bonus act and was
passed with only two dissenting
votes, those Of Mrs. Kinney and
Mr.. Woodson, but only after 1t had
been re-referred to the committee
on ways and means and was again
reported In with the committees
recommendation for favorable ac-
tion.
Discussion of the bill brought
out the fact that the 100000 ap-
propriated by the last legislature
for administration OF the soldiers
bonus act had already been spent,
and that the bonus commission
had already started on the expen-
diture Of the 100000 asked In the
bill upon the authorization of the
state board Of control to do so.
