Lumber Prices
Hit the Farmers
WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 13.
Farm development and the produc
tion of crops and livestock are being
seriously handicapped by excessive
lumber prices, according to a report
recently, made by the forest service
of the department of agriculture to
the United States senate, and Just
published. Livestock raising and
dairying aeems to be the hardest hit
because of the barn equipment and
shelter necessary. Heavy losses of
Implements and crops, due to a lack
of proper foliage facilities are said
to have taken place.
In some of the newer sections cf
the country it la reported that farm
ers without a suitable financial basis
are abandoning their farms because
of the price of new construction.
From all parts of the country come
reports that present conditions a re
tending to lower the standards of
llvinfl and to make It more difficult
to hold th- farmer's own children
and desirable classes of labor on tho
farm.

some edible frogs from the United
States. They were kept at the In

HIGHWAY WORK IS
. MOVING TOO SLOW;
Douglas County Roads Are
Showing Up Badly In Com
parison With Others.
PAVING BEEN WITHHELD
tirades Completed Last Scawm Ktill
.'surfaced and Closed to Traf
fic Public Itestless Cera
inLssbm is Criticized.
The meeting of the state highway
commission In Portland on Wednes
day and information given out rela
tive to money available and expendi
tures proposed, suggest many things
to the minds of taxpayers tand auto
mobile owners, who are paying for
these vast highway improvement ,
and it is alleged that for some reason
the work In Douglas county is mov
ing all too slowly. Farmers and city
people, besides the continual stream
of tourists moving over the main ar
teries of travel, say many miles of
the roads are in bad condition. It Is
pointed out that during the past two
years since highway work has been
going on here, no work has been
done on the old roads and they are
extremely rough.. That action look
ing to the Improvement of these
roads Is imperative, is the concensus
of opinion here, it being alleged that
a great deal of grading for the nev
highway was completed late last fall
that should have been paved. Not
only have these stretches of grade
not been paved, but they are closed
to travel with no prospect of tlr
paving being completed this season.
The local patrons of the highway
claim that as soon as winter sets in
again traveling will be "next to Im
possible over much of the highway
thus neglected. Old and unimproved
roads will be so badly cut up that
thev will become dangerous, and par
ticularly to automobiles or trucks.
Finished tirades Unpuvcd.
While no one attempts to analyze
the financial situation confronting
the highway commission. It is felt
that many miles of grade that have
waited all spring and summer for the
finishing touches should have been
looked after. It is also realised that
where contracts have not already
been let some months ago for paving
these gradings. It will be an utter
Impossibility to accomplish anything
along that line this Bummer or fall.
In the vicinity of Roseburg. for
Instance, both north and south of
the city, there are sections that are
badly in need of paving. From the
city limits north to Winchester a
great deal of grading was done last
fall and has been awaiting paving.
The old highway is one of the rough
est Btretches of road Imaginable, and
the tremendous traffic It carri-8
dally demands better conditions. It
has all along been understood that
this piece of highway was to be
paved, and the question as to why
not is beginning to be pressed. From
Winchester on north to Wilbur,
distance of about two and a half
miles, and from there on to Suther
lln, thence to Oakland, Is more road
way In need of the "hot stuff." A
little paving has been done, it is said,
between Wilbur and Sutherlln. but
the most of the way is yet to be sur
faced. Last winter much of this
road between the towns mentioned
was almost Impassible, and the pub
lic are dreading another siege of that
.nrt South of the city clear down
to the Dillard section no paving has
been laid, but in reality this Btretch
nf road ought to have been among
those receiving attention to connect
no the cltv with the Dlllard-Ruckles
navlnr. eliminating the Roberts
mountain trades that have long been
a menace and the scene of many ac
cidents.
Other Sections in Need.
What is true of these localities is
.I4...4 nn liL.tb olMiotlnn In other
rlaoss.. rr .wvh, wirk jraMQ-tW
done before the public can be as
sured of completed roads. Putting
on of gravel will in no wise be per
manent,' but may help some this win
ter. It is understood that a good
deal of gravel surfacing Is being
done at various points along the
highway. -
With the ten million dollars nl
ready at command of the state high
way commission, taxpayers allege
that better results ought to have be.;n
realized. They assert that in their
judgment egorbltant prlees have
been paid for much of the work and
material, and all too little i .hown
for the money thus far spent. A
prominent engineer In the employ cf
Douglas county some months ago
made the assertion openly that the
county was not getting benefits nat
urally expected. Dilatory methods
In awarding contracts for work In
this county are resulting in positive
loss to the public every day. hinder
ing traffic over anads Impassible for
loaded vehicles right now. with pros
nects of complete stagnation of travj
during the winter Just ahead, and
still a second or third winter unles
something l done at once to reli-ve
the situation. The people have gen
erously voted millions for carrying
on this highway program, and much
bus been expected, pretty -much
everybody says, but the facts in tho
situation do not cuablo the people to
offer extensive congratulations to
the commission tor work accom
plished. Work Hero Neglected.
Douglas county feels that it has
been neglected. The highway In the
northern sections of the state are in
fine condition, autoilts recently over
Uiose stretches allege, but the min
ute tho Douglas county line Is
reached conditions change. In some
places near Roseburg a detour of
many miles is almost Imperative in
order to avoid Impossible roads.
Notably Is this so between Oakland
and this city, autoists who aro ac
quainted with the situation and lay
of the country preferring to do down
the Calapooia and thence to Umpqua,
fifteen miles out of their way, 10 es
cape the horrors of the Pacific high
way. It is suggested by Douglas county
constituency that something be done
to overcome the existing conditions.
While it is recognized that tho sea
son is too far advanced to permit of
material relief this year. It Is alleged
that the commission is in duty bound
to immediately lot contracts provid
ing for completion of these already
constructed grades early in 1921. it
Is alleged that if these contracts ar.
not let In the near future tne wora
will dllly dally over another year and
nothing be done. Douglas county
feels that the situation warrants co
operation of the commission looking
to results, and wntte tne sireicnes or
road mentioned are perhaps the most
used and In greatest need of com
pletion, there are others which will
bear a vast improvement.

MINNESOTA IS AFFECTED
Officials of That Stale Iteport That
Child Labor Is .Nearly Doubled

(By AsaoctuU'd Pruns).
CHICAUO, Aug. la. four thou
sand more children are working in
Chicago today than a year ago, ac
cording to Clyde A. Brown, acting
director of the city vocational guid
ance bureau. The increase 'In child
labor is said to be general in tho
middle west but exceptions are noiel
in Missouri, Kausaa and North Da
kota. Necessity ot the child helping the
family meet the high cost of living,
the pulling power of higher wages
and the scarcity of adult labor, to
gether with the discovery by em
ployers that women and children of
ten could take the place of men wera
cited by Mr. Brown among reasons
for a similar Increase in child labor
in other parts of the United Stal-w.
Minnesota officials report that
child labor is nearly doubled In that
stale. Tho greatest increase, they
say, is among children of the "white
collar" class, whose parents bave
been forced by rising prices to per
mit their children to vrk. Aboat
3000 under 16 years of age are now
at work in Minnesota.
Wisconsin statistics on child labor
for the year are not yet tabulated,
but officials say enough returns ar?
in to indicate a considerable Increase
over previous years. Some boys un
der 16 years have been reported re
ceiving $100 a month.

E. Connally. of Oklahoma, says more
violations of child labor laws have
been brought to the attention ot his
office this year than previously, from
which he deduces an increase in
juvenile workers. Connally said the
Increase in violations was probably
due to the fact that there was 30 per
cent more Jobs in tho state than
workers.
A. L. Urlck. Iowa slate labor com

Kansas and North Dakota report
child labor in those states as almost
negligible. St. Louis reports a de

SPEEDING UP OUR

(By Associated Press.)
NBW YORK. Aug. 13. The slo
gan of Ellis Island immigration of

decision was recently announced by
Frederick A. Wallls, newly appoint
ed Commissioner ot Immigration.
after he had played the role of ail
immigrant for one night and had
passed long and tiresome hours on
the Island waiting for a barge for
New York.
So convinced Is Commissioner
Wallls that Immigrants are being
needlessly detained on Ellis Island
after they have been passed Into
this cotfntry by immigration officials
and that other reforms are urgently
needed, that he Intends to move to
the island from his New York homo
and devoto both days and nights to
this new work.
Officials of the island, according
to Mr. Wallls, are adherents of tho
theory than an Immigrant's time Is
worth nothing at all.
"I am trying," Mr. Wallls sbIiI.
"to break up the bad habit of de
taining Immigrants on Kills Island
after they have been admitted to tho
country. Ever since 1 took up mv
new duties, I have noticed great
flocks of weary Immigrants sitting
for hours In the crowded railroad
rooms of tho Island. I have found
Immigrants sitting in these rooms
who had been there all day long,
having been passed by our inspec
tors early In the morning.
"Last night I became an "1mm
grant" mysolf and took my place on
on? of the benches lu the rallrond
room. It was a long time before
nn attendant announced that a
barge had come to take up to tho
ral'rond station. I fell in with a
group that was going to Weehaw
ken to take a train and some of
them told me they had spent a long
and tiresome-day In the crowded
rooms.'
In the work of getting the immi
grant through and out of New York
swiftly. Commissioner Wallls will
enlist the aid of the railroad com
panies. "Immigration", h? explained, "no
longer pours itself out Into New
York City, or into the crowded me
tropolitan centers of the East. It
now flows out across this big coun
try to smaller towns: to the mines
or mills. It .s highly Important foi
us of the Immigration service and
.those working with us the rnll
road people, for examplei to recog
nize this Increasing tendency and to
make as good an impression as pos
sible on the Incoming workers.'

District Attorney NeunerGives
Provisions of Volstead Act
on The Subject.
SWEET CIDER AFFECTED
Must Sot Contain More Titan One
Half of Ono Per Cent Alcohol
and Purcluucr Must Have
Permit as Well as Mfr.
Many inquiries are reaching the
district attorney's office in regard to
the muuulucturo of cider and vinegar
and as to whether or not it is neces
sary to have a permit to do so, aud
inasmuch as this question effects the
entire county and state. District At
torney Neuner has issued the follow
ing statement:
The Volstead act contains, among
others, this provision, which is In
substance as follows:
All persons desiring to manufac
ture older or other intoxicating
liquors Bpecifled in said act for con
version Into vinegar, or to use sucu
cider or intoxicating liquors In the
manufacture of vinegar, should make
application to Johnson S. Smith, fed
eral prohibition director, Portland.
Oregon, and after approval a permit
will be issued authorizing the act
stipulated.
Cider manufactured by persons
holding permits may be used by
them In the manufacture of vinegar
or may be sold or furnished by thim
in quantities ot five wine gallons or
moru to other persons holding per
mits to use cider lu tho manufacture
of vinegar upon receipt of permits
to purchase, and may not be other
wise disposed of.
The following provision of tho law
is important:
"Sweet cldor containing less thaa
one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol by
volume may bo manufactured and
sold without the necessity of obtain
ing permit, provided such product is
put tip and, marketed in sterile closed
containers or is treated by the addi
tion of benzoate of soda, or other
substanco which will prevent fermen
tation. In such proportion as to In
sure the alcoholic content remaining
"elow one-half of 1 per cent of alco
hol by volume. The repon!blll!r
for keeping the alcoholic content be
lo BUeli percentage rests upon th
manufacturer, and In any casei
where elder IS found upon the mar
ket containing alcohol in excess of
the allowed percentage the manufac
turer will be presumed to have
manufactured and sold an Intoxicat
ing liquor."
Tho foregoing section Is important
to persons selling sweet cider, as by
Ihe provisions thereof the manufac
turer is bold responsible for the alco
holic content in tho manufactured
cider. Therefore, In my opinion Bweet
elder must be treated so that It will
not ferment so as to contsin moro
'han one-half of 1 per cent of alco
hol by volume.
The law further provides as fol
lows: "Cider containing !ess than one
half of 1 per cent of alcohol by vol
ume may be sold by the producer to
persons holding permits to manufac
ture vinegar. If such cider, how
ever, contains one-hnlf of 1 per cent
or .more of alcohol by volume when
removed for conversion into vinegar,
it will be necessary that the persons
producing lams hold permits to
manufacture cider as above provided
and furnish same only upon receipt
of permits to purchase."
That Is to say, no person would be
permitted to sell cider containing
one-half of 1 per cent or more of
alcohol by volume, unless such per
son held a permit from tho federal
prohibition director for the sale of
