It la propoeed to iasue 13.000.000,000

be apportioned to the siatea on a baaii
of population, assessed valuation, area
and mileage of roada. Tbute date
desiring to take advantage of the plan

would be empowered to immediately
Issue fifty-year 3 per cent federal
bonds in a like amount, and the money
would be turned over lor the use of
the higwbay commission of the state
making the application.
"The state would have the use of the
money for fifty yeara by simply pay
ing 4 per cent interest. The 1 per cent
difference in interest between tha
atate and federal bonds would be cred

cent Interest allowed thereon. In fifty
yeara this ainking fund would be sulli

bonda Issued by the state.
"For the maintenance of these roads
after construction a fund is to be pro
vided by an appropriation of 2 per cent
of the amount of the bond by the fed

by the atate. The plan also provldea
for a federal academy for the Instruc

ed that Modoe County, California In
cooperating with tha Modoc National

a road from Altnraa to the State Line
on the weat aide of the lake. The
matter will be submitted to the Modoc
County Board of Supervisors on Sep
tember 16, when it will be definitely
known whether the road will mature.
The Forest Service of Modoc has
agreed to expend 11000 on conatructlon
of the road. It baa not been decided
whether the road would be so. con
structed aa to permit auto travel or
made only for wagons. Ibis matter
will probably depend upon the amount
of money that can be secured for tbe
purpose.
Such a highway would be of mutual
benefit to both Lake and Modoo coun-

Lake County ought to provide a road
leadinor from the Modoe road north to
the stage road west of Lakeview.
Thla would be of material benefit to

STATE NOW OWNS
DUN1WAY PLANT
Printing Is Now "Under
Operation of the Flat
Salary Law. '.
A dispatch from Salem under date of
September 6, says:-
At a meeting recently the State
printing board, by a unanimous vote,
decided to purchase the printing plant
of the lata State Printer W. S. Duni
way at $15,470, the value fixed for it
by the majority member of tbe com
mittee appointed to appraise it, and
also adopted the union scale of wages
of thia citv for the printers in tbe
State printing office.
State Printer Harris appeared be
fore the board and read a communica
tion favoring the purchase of a new
plant, but the board decided that the
d resent was adequate for the State's
needs, and tbat the price fixed waa
reasonable.
After deciding to purchase tbe plant
tbe board proceeded to consider the
scale of wages to be paid the printers.
Harris favored a scale of $25.50 per
week and offered to compromise at
The board, however, decided, desoite
his protests, to pay $21 a week, the
scale paid in the past in the State
printing offices, and that paid by the.
local uinon.
Harris recommendations, had they-
been adopted, would bave meant the
expenditure of an additional $1645 for-
new machinery..
Advices were received by State
Printer Harris today that Mrs. W. S.
Duniway has accepted the offer made
her for the printing plant of the State
Printer liuniway. The price at which
it waa sold was $15,470.
Harris assumed charge of tbe office
Monday, and until 1915 the atate prin
ter's office will- be under the operation
of the flat salary law. In 1915. unless
the Legislature enacts new legislation,
state printing will be awarded on the
contract system.

Market, thia week went to Cedarville
