was adopted.
In order to complete Hie Klkton to

case these bonds are voted. Judge
Marsters later in the mooting an
nounced that he was willing to appropriate-
flu, mm from the general
road fund and $l;,noo from the rail
road land (axes, making a. total of
jT'i.HHii, which he estimated would
be sufficient to open that road thru
to the coast. Commissioner Nichols
at once announced his approval of
Judge Marslers' suggestion. This
order will probably be made at the
regular session of the court next
week, contingent upon the success of
the bonding Election on June 4 Tb
committee . reduced the apportion
ment on the road to Myrtle Point to
$'o.oiMt and increased that Jroin
Drain to Klkton to $2U.b0u. This
makes a total of $:". into for a direct
road from the mouth of the l'ii'.p'iii;i
lliver to the Pacific Highway at
Drain.
The route from Klkton via Kellogg
was chanted from .a term in a I at

Highway near the bridge about 1 '2

"Shoes Prices subject to change
without notice.''
Such was the cheerful warnings
that are being received by local
merchants from the big Kastern
luanufacturers and traders.
A great many makes of shoes have
been doubled in price. Some of them
have more than doubled. The prices
have been advancing steadily ever
since the beginning of the war in
Kurope. Shoos which then retailed
for $:t.fe0 are now being sold at
wholesale as high as $S. .'.0. F.ven
the most practical kind of working
shoes, which are essential to the
equipment of t heir wearers, have
had a large addition made to their
cost. Loggers' boots, which In Jan
nary were selling ut $'.l.a0, are now
bringing $l2.ru. The advance is
reaching all kind of footwear. There
will ho no relief for the patient con
sumer until after the war.

While In San Francisco recently a
Federal road engineer told Mr.

(iuvernment to build a system of
military roads the entire length of
the Pacific Coast. One plan called
for a road as near the coast as would
he pnsxthlc and still he hidden from

road paralleling thin one and about
in miles further inland, with cross
roads connecting the two main hlgh

and of sufficient width for the entire
IoiikHi to ho able to handle congested
traffic, such as would he necessary

road could be constructed through
ihis slale at a price not exceeding
the com! of one first class battleship.
Mr. Adams mild that he believed
that I ho present conflict would he

times greater with regard to eost
nnri number of men Involved than
ill the wars of history combined. His
dea was that at the close of the

Mr. Hooh realizes that Douglas

said no people will be found, who for
