cecv Peters Sends Informa-
tion to all Members of the
Newly Formed Organiza-
ton This Week

tn coordinate the activities OF
The newly organized Evergreen high
way association, Geo. D. Peters, who
mas elected executive secretary, has
cent out to all members the follow
ing information:
The immediate completion OF the
North Bank Highway between
Marvhill Junction and Kennewick
is imperative for the welfare OF the
state.
A study of the construction OF the
North Bank Highway, which should
extend from Vancouver to Kenne-
wick, discloses that its construction
and completion are advisable at an
early date for the following reasons:
The most expensive construction
of this highway has already been
completed. In order to make that
fully available for use it is necessary
to complete the other end of the
highway, otherwise it will be only
partially used. 1t is now like a
building on which the roof and
walls have been built, the finishing
of which has not been done.
The few miles east from Maryhill
Junction, where the only remaining
heavy work is necessary, can be
avoided by using the present route
of the county road as temporary
detour.
The use of the highway in the
State of Washington from Kenne-
wick to Vancouver would stimulate
the sale of gasoline. It is estimat-
ed that the tax derived from the
sale of gasoline which would result
from the use of this highway would
more than repay the cost of build
ing the uncompleted portion. It
would also justify the large amount
Of money being spent on the Cooks
Underwood cutoff.
The development of the Column
bia Basin area and the slack wa
ter development of the Columbia
and Snake Rivers by the construc-
ton of the Umatilla and Five Mile
Rapids dams, would make this road
necessary for the development Of
our state.
At present large areas in our
state are sparsely settled by reason
of poor transportation, although
they are available for farming. This
highway would greatly facilitate the
settlement of these areas.
Work on this highway could be
started within a short time and
could continue throughout twelve
months of the year by reason of the
climatic conditions in the locality
where the road is now uncompleted.
AS a work relief project the COM
pletion of the North Bank Highway
is ideal because approximately nine
ty percent of the construction could
De done by men and teams. This
would furnish an opportunity for
employment for more men of the
common labor class than any other
road in the state.
The State Highway Department
could do this work by force account,
as was done on the fourteen miles
west from Paterson. The men
could be brought from the cities
and adjoining counties, including
Walla Walla, Franklin, Benton,
Yakima, Klickitat and Skamania.

TEN MILLION
TEXAS ACRES
WIND SWEP 7

DALLAS, Texas. May Is. U,R) -
Dust storms in northwest Texas
this spring and water erosion in
other sections of the state, have
ruined 100000 acres of farm
land, causing a loss of $250000 it
was estimated here by the United
States soil erosion service.
In addition to this loss, wind
and water erosion is rapidly dam
aging farm lands on 11,000,000
acres-about 65 per cent of the
states total farm area.
22.8 Per Cent of Area
Out OF Texas land area of 169,-
326,46 acres, the survey showed
only 38,597844 acres where there
was little or no erosion. This is
about 22.8 per cent of Texas total
land area.
On 116 per cent of the area, or
49, 724,668 acres, made up of rocky
ground, mountainous areas, scab
lands and shallow soils, soil ero-
sion conditions we're not consid-
cred.
Dust storms alone have damaged
81 ,405 ,624 acres in Texas, 12.6 per
cent of the total area) of which
1,263,736 acres have been totally
destroyed More than six million
acres have been severely eroded
by winds and thirteen million acres
show some damage.
Western Panhandle
In the high plains area of the
western Panhandle Glenn /.
Fuller, chief erosion specialist and
director of the service, said, wind
erosion is quite general. Annual
rainfall is less than 20 inches and
the loose, friable soils blow easily
if vegetation is removed.
Both sheet and gully erosion
are serious in the extreme western
| part of Texas The Edwards pla-
teau is subject to considerable
sheet erosion and gullying. The
West Cross timber section is seri-
ously eroded and has some gullies.
The East Texas timber section
has both sheet and gully erosion

been completely destroyed"

"How?" quickly asked the Bob

Fox. HE has been coming here

his rabbit children with him.
That's why we couldn't catch him.
But now he is all alone and I think

Lets try, anyhow" said the
Wolf.
will all go after him together, .
the Bob Cat newed, leach by diff
ferent path. One of us ought to get
him that way
So the three Bad Chaps, each by
a different path, started sneaknig
up on Uncle Wiggily who had come
to the woods alone. He wanted to
get some sassafras bark for Mrs.
Longears to make tea for Baby
Bunty, who had a little cold. She
caught it the day of wintergreen
candy making.
Uncle Wiggily thinking, hearing
and seeing nothing of the Fox the
Wolf and the Bob Cat, hoped
along through the woods looking
for a sassafras bush. He soon found
one and began digging away the
dirt at the roots so he could pull
some of them up and take them
home for tea.
1t is the soft, outer covering on
sassafras roots that has the best
flavor and from which sassafras
tea is made. The bark of the birch
tree and the green leaves of the
wintergreen plant contain their dil-
ferent flavors.
But it is sassafras roots I am
digging for and they are hard to
get out" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he dug and dug and
dug. He partly uncovered a fine,
large root and tried to pull it up,
but it was too hard for him.

COSTLY JUSTICE

Inability Of the jury considering the
Damson case to reach a verdict Is unSat-
lsfactory TO all, regardless of their be-
lief in the conviction of innocence Of the
accused.
Already once convicted and sentenced
to die, only to have a higher court grant
him a new trial, Lamson faces either a
third trial or dismissal of the case. IN
granting him a second trial Judges OF the
high court remarked they believed Lam
son guilty but did not believe the pros
ecution had proved its case against him.
The second trial lasted 81 days and
cost Santa Clara county between $4,000
and $4,000. The first trial cost almost
a similar sum, while a third trial will
certainly not be any cheaper. In the
event of a third trial it will have cost the
people close to 100000 with no assur-
ance that a definite decision on guilt or
innocence will be reached.
This is certainly costly justice. While
no value can be placed on human lie
and it would be worth 100000 to pre-
vent an innocent man from being con-
victed, it is highly undesirable to spend
such sum in any trial, particularly in
these times when public funds can be
put to such better use.
If it should be decided not to try Lam
son again, and he goes free, there will
be much dissatisfaction from many who
will see in such action the power Of
money and influence to thwart justice.
If he should be convicted or acquitted at
a third trial, the question might we'll be
asked-why wasn't this possible before?
From any angle the Lamson case ap-
pears to be a hopeless mess, but deslg-
mating it as such doesn't solve the prob
lem it presents.
