Federal Highway Biil Provid
ing Funds For Work In
National Forest Signed.
BUILD BOUNDARY ROAD
Effort WIU lie Made to Have a Por
tion of the Funds Appropriated
to Build Section of Road From
Rock Creek to Boundary.
The signing by the President of
the Federal Highway Act, appropri
ating 115,000,000 for forest roads
end trails, makes available at once
;7S8,913 for national forest reads In
Oregon, Washington and Alaska and
marks an Important step toward the
development of the great resources
of our national forests," states Geo.
H. Cecil, district forester of the
North Pacific district. "The bill pro
vides $5,000,000 for immediate ex
penditure and makes an additional
(10,000.000 available on July 1,
1922. There 1b Immedately available
for road construction on the nation
al forests the following amounts:
Oregon, $vS10,790; Alaska. $258,273:
Washington, $189,870. This money
will be used in extending the present
Inadequate road and trail system of
the national forests Jof these two
states and Alaska, the development
of which Is so vital to the effective
protection and utilization of., their
valuable natural resources." '
The act appropriates $9,500,000
for forest roads of primary import
ance to the states, counties, or com
munities within, adjoining, or adja
cent to tho national forests. Of this
amount $2,500,000 la made Immedi
ately available for apportionment
based on the area and value of the
land owned by the Government with
in the national forests. As hereto-lore-tha
coiwtrJi don" -work-wilt -he
done by the U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads, In cooperation with the forest
service.
Under the terms of this act the
forest service will have available a
amall sum for work in Douglas coun
ty adjacent to the forest and an er
fort is now being made to secure a
portion of this money for the Hoag-lin-Boundary
road project.
The DroJect has been examined Dy
government officials and a rough sur
vey has been made by government
engineers. The county court is de
sirous of making an appropriation
for this road, and will do so provided
it can be designated as a market
road. The court has no other funds
to place upon this section but If It
can be designated as a market road
both county, state and government
funds can be procured.
The road will open up a very rich
agricultural country which Is now
being settled up ana lmprmou uj
hnmotealers. lA number of fine
homesteads have been located and
arc being improved In that district
and the road will greatly Increase
the value of the property and the
wealth of the county.
In addition the road will form a
link In the North Umpqua road which
will eventually become a reality and
will be an Important stride In the
direction of securing this thorough
fare leading Into the great timber
section of the county and giving
communication with the Eastern
Oregon districts. After building
the stretch from Rock Creek to
Boundary, the road work Inside tne
National' forest will be largely car
ried on by the government out of
funds appropriated for work within
the forest boundaries.
The appropriation for tne con
struction or maintenance of roads'
and trails of primary Importance lor
the development and protection or
the national forests Is $Ti, 500,000, of
vhlch $2. 500. 000 Is immediately
available. The act prescribes no
mathematical apportionment of this
amount, but states that It shall be
according to the relative needs of the
various national forests, taking Into
consideration the existing transpor
tation facilities, value of timber, or
other resources served, relative fire
danger, and comparative difficulty of
road and trail construction. Tne
apportionment of funds allotted un
der this section of the hill will be
made by the secretary In tho near

states Mr. Cecil, "a recent study
made hr the forest service shows that
over 1.1.000 miles of forest roads,
estimated to cost $77,000,000 are
necessarr to complete the various
state and county highway svstems
within or adjacent to the forests:
Also for roads and trails of prlmnrv

at 6:16 last night. Flax fibre and
seed which were burned Wore ade

The cause of the blaze Is laid to
a chimney in the flax plant's storage

Tho interior of the storage room was

Thirty bales of flax fibre, believed
to be worth about $13,500, was
burned, as was flax seed valued at
$950. Also about $600 worth of
scutched tow went before the flames.
Only a few days ago prison offi

TURKEY PRICE TAKES BIG
DROP AFTER OPENING
STRONG THIS MORNING
Unsettled Condition Prevailed
Cities Reported Weak Pool Getting Largest Share of
Turkeys Killed By Growers.
The turkey market today was very
weak, unsettled and unsatisfactory.
Opening at 40 centa. the market
dropped upon the receipt of reports
from the consuming centers and this
uflornoon was standing at 36 cents,
but apparently due for a rise. Few
turkeys were received, only a very
limited number of birds being put on
the market. The number brought in
by the growers, in fact, was much
smaller than had been anticipated.
The quality la below normal, the
birds being poor in comparison with
former years.
The price drop waa the sensation
al event of the day. The market
opened apparently very weak. As
usual few buyers were willing to sot
the price and the tendency was to
lower the figure as much as pos
sible. Buying, however, started at
40 cents and. a few lota -Were take
at that price.
Disquieting rumors, however, re
garding the Portland, Seattle and
Sun Francisco markets caused to
buyers to be wary of paying this
price. Seattle was reported to be
quoting turkeys at 42 cents, San
Francisco 40 to 43 centa, and Port
land 40 cents.- This It was figured
should bring the price to the grow
ers to about 36 cents.
As a result of the reports the mar
ket tumbled at once and buyers re
fused to quote more than 36 centa.
A few lots of choice birds went at
36 and 37 cents, but practically all
cash deals wore made at 35 cents
with a raise.
- The greater -majority of the tur.
keys disposed of outside the pool
were turned over to the buyers who
gave a receipt for the lot and agreed
o pay the top market price. This
was the basis on which the bulk of
he sales were made, the growers by
his method putting themselves In a
position to get the best price the
market will afford.
The local exenange warehouse this
morning accommodated approximate
ly 4000 pounds of turkeys. Although
no offlcla reports were received
from the other localities where tur
keys were being received by the ex
change, which Is managing the pool.
Is understood that tho majority or
he birds sold arc delivered to the
pool.
locally the pool received about
half the turkeys. The bulk of the
birds placed on the cash market went
the Roseburg Produce company
and to George Kohlhagen, although
other buyers also received a numoer
of turkeys, the birds being quite
widely distributed among the various
buyers.
The pool Is expected to take aDoui
75 Der cent of the turkeys of the
county, whllo the cash buyers will re
ceive the other 25 per cent.
The pool will be sold to cash buy
ers not represented hero, providing
satisfactory bid can be received,
Mr. Banning, the manager of the lo
cal Farm Bureau Exchange, states.
tf. however, the bid Is not up to the
figure the growers will demand, the
turkeys will be consigned to whole
sale dealers direct. Thfl growers
have not yet set a price on their
birds, but It as Intimated that a
Id of loss than 4 5 cents on the turks
n the pool will not be considered.
'Our price will depend entirety
upon what we believe tne marsm
vlll Justify," Mr. Banning fcald. "We
will receive reports from all the mar
keting centers and will then form
;in opinion as to what the grower
should receive. We will then com
pare the bids submitted with this
nrice.
"Wo do not demand an excessive
price for our turkeys and will ask no
more than the mnrket conditions
will Justify, but we do feel that the
grower should receive the full beno-
flt and should obtain a ruir prom on
his crop."
Bids will bo suhmlitod on tne pooi
tonight and trday's receipts will
probably be assigned In the morn
ing. In the event cash buyers now
working In the city can maae a sat
isfactory onvr they will receive the
lilrds, Mr. Banning says, but If not
the nool will be sent ' San Fran
cisco, Portland or some other point
to be sold at the best prico ooiain
able there.
The turkeys received today are
quite poor In quality as compared to
other Years The young turkeys
were hatched later than usual, while
the feed wns not up to tho usual
standard. As a result they are not
in as fat condition as usual. Several
fine lots were received, but the gen
eral average Is below par.
The number of turkeys received Is
far below the usual mark. It had
been expected that the crop would
run fully 65 per cent short, but It
appears that there ars only about
