iblc to the chief engineer and the
members OF the commission for the

hrs district
The trunk lines of the state must
be finished ~ rapidly as possible,
he said, and following these, the com
mission viii do the very best it can
in building other parts of the hIgh-
way system. He expressed the opin-
ion that the commission will an
doubtedly make many enemies by
following its plans and refusing 10
be swayed by local desires. How
ever, he and the other members are
determined to build the highways Of
the state so that they will serve the
greatest number of people IN the
best way. Local opinions will be
heard fully and impartiallE, he stat
ed, but if the commission believes
its own plans best, il viii follow
them without fear or favor.
Following luS talk, Mir. Toy an
nounced that he would be glad TO
answer any questions that might be
asked, as long IS they were confin-
ed to generaiiticS and once more
served notice that he would not dis
cuss or dc~aic any local differences.
In answering one question, he re
fcrrcd to section Of state highway
in Washington, between the Oregon
and Canadian borders, which he
termed the finest piece of highway
in the country. This highway he
c.tcd as Il sample Of what can be
done in the way Of permanent safe
and economical construction.
Mr.. Toy, together with Nelson Ed
wards, a member Of the state high

Hopheads" Present Problem

present Il truly appalling situation to
the jailers. After periods ranging
from u few months to years, living.
in Mexicali on little more than
"'dope' they are literally living
dead men. ,-.
TO keep them enclosed in the iail
makes the work Of the officials
doubly arduous and us the men are
not employed a5 anything ut all
while in jail, their lot is most
wrctched. Hard work on Il chain
gang is the remedy suggested by the
officials, which they claim is in
deed the best solution Of the psob-
lem. Even the prisoners in the cen
ter tank this morning expressed 4
desire for the chain gang rather
than remain where they are.
J. Roy Adams, chairman of the
supervisors, stated this morning that
the board of supervisors will take
the matter of county jail conditions
up at their next meeting a week
from Monday, and try to figure out
some method for emergency relief
from the present intolerable situa-
tion.
w. II. Brooks, supervisor from FL
Centre, endorsed the chain gang and
enlargement of the accommodation
at the Jail as soon as possible. In
the event that chain gang or IN
addition TO the jail are not feasible
at this time, he suggested building
stockade.

QUEBEC'S PROFIT ON
 LIQUOR RUNS VERY HIGH
Increased Consumption Of Wines and Slump in Spirits Re-
 ported.

Quebec, April 2S.-In the course of the three years of operation of the Quebec liquor law, which will end April 30, liquor valued at sS, ,oo0, 900 has been sold in the province under government control and profits ex- ceeding SIP 2,OoO.0O0 will have been realized. This includes s4,000, 900 surplus expected to be announced by the liquor commission later for the past years operations.
 There has been a big decrease in the sale of high percentage liquors Scotch, brandies, gins and ryes. However, an increase of 600 to TOO per cent is expected in sale of wines.
 Liquor stores have increased in number from 67 to so in 1923-24, but this includes several where wines alone are sold. This is in accord ance with the policy adopted of try ing to increase the sale of wines and to reduce the demand for higher alcoholic liquors. No increase is re- ported in the sale of beer.
 It is said the stock of illicit liquors is meagre. When abuses are report ed, it is generally found to be liquor coming from the commission. Moon- shine liquors are not used to any ex- tent.
