Started First of the Month. The road from Diamond LaVo to Big Caraa Ranger StsHuu, the east aectlon of the No. in Umpqua high way, will be completed next week, according to an announcement made thia morning by Forest Su pervisor Carl B. Neal who has Just returned from spending the sum mer season in field and inspection work. The crew which has been working on the Bis Camas aectlon is to be withdrawn and placed on the skyline road. The Bis; Camas section of the Vmpqua highway baa been built entirely by the forest service, with out aid' or assistance from any out side source. The road is approxi mately 24 miles in length, and is 9 feet wide on hillsides and 19 feet wide on straightaways. Owing to the nature of the ground, the road was constructed at a comparative ly low cost, the work costing about 92.1KH) per mile, with the exception f 2 miles at Fish creek where two miles with a bridge over the stream the cost amounted to $S.OO0. This road is a good auto road in the summer, Mr. Neal says, and will give the forest service an opportun ity to get its supplies In to ths cen tra! ranger station by truck. Mr. Neal announces that work will start the first of the month on a proposed new road up the South I'mpoua to Camp Comfort. This Is primarily a forest development road, being built for the purpose of giving fire fighters access to a section of forest which is now difficult to reach, but It will like wise open up a wonderful hunting and fishing country. Camp Comfort Is approximately 2S miles east of Tiller. A road has already been constructed 10 miles up the south fork, but It Is now pro posed to extend it. The new fork Is to be done from the boundary to Camp Comfort, but It is the plan to start this year at the end of the present road.

SENTIMENT REVERSED Churches Are Blamed by Federal Council for Fail- . ure to Continue Tem perance Work. WASHINGTON. Sept. 19 (A. P.) The fact that a large part of the public remains "unconvinced with reference to the liquor traffic" coupled with failure of the federal government to make any "adequate effort" at enforcement and de linquency of the churches in con tinuing temperance education, were held responsible for the pres ent prohibition situation la find ings made public tonight by tbe Research and Education depart ment of the Federal Council of Churchea. These conclusions were announc ed by the department In making public tbe last Installment of lta special report on the social conse quences of prohibition, complied after aa exhaustive investigation. Other portions of the report have been made public previously during the jiasi week. In view of the government's re cent reorganisation, the present situation waa declared to present "an unprecedented challenge" to the churcbea and schools. The "de linquency" of the former In carry ing on the temperance work be gun long netore prohibition was described as "perhaps even great er than that of the federal govern ment." "A new opportunity Is at hand." concluded tbe report "The criais that has developed In the enforce ment of prohibition calls for a frank facing of lacts and a new assumption of responsibility. "The federal government has an nounced a right-about-face on en forcement policy. That is the gov ernment's task. It Is not Its .task to change Ihe minds of the people. Religion and education must do that. Nothing but energetic and sustained educational effort can atone for past negligence." With regard to the attitude of the public, the report presented the results of a number of polls among various elements of Amerlcsna, but commented that figures could form little basis for definite con clusions. It may be said with a good deal nf ..rnce" the inv.n.i,... mntinnmi "ih.t m.n. ,,won, , th rounlry wou, now . ....... ... reverse the verdict If they had the chance, but there Is murh reason to believe that most of the states, taken as a whole, would still vote affirmatively.

The ma jority was small, but It reversed a considerable adverse majority of two years before. Two farts, however, need to be kopl In mind. So much stress Is put utton the moral Issue Involved in prohibition that- It Is highly probable that many persons, and specially legislators, vote for pro hibition laws against their prefer ence, because they cannot 'aland the garr of moral criticism. Furth ermore, It Is now sufficiently clear that mere majorities. In Ihe rase of so hotly contested an Issue as prohibition presents are of little permanent significance." One of the polls recorded In Ihe report waa taken at the Cllliens Military Training Camp at Fort Ethan Allen In 1924. Of 597 men en rolled only 104 recorded themselves j as favorable to the exlating pro I hlblllon regime.
