from Iewlston, Idaho, tomorrow morn
ing. The whole Northwest feels that in
a.ldition to the innumerable parely at
tractive features of tbe celebration, the
event is a marvelous advertisement ol
the climatic conditions, for nowhere else
In the world can flowers be louna more
beautiful than the roses of the North
p.i-iBc Coast. The irand parade will
exceed anything ever shown on tlv
Oast, and beside all the leading towns
of Oregon, Washington will be repre-
aented in tbe flouts ana oeeoraiea

When the Oregon Development
league recently asked the co-operation

Bom hav an idea that th perma
nent road, so called, will or ought to
last forever without any repair bo
cause they cost so much to build.
With that ame kind ot reasoning w
would hav a right to expect that a
modern thrashing machine that coat
aeveral thousand time as much as th
old fashioned flail ought to iaat forever
without a cent expended for repair.
i n,i h.e vhlta a violin that cost SS
has to be tuned and have new strings,
one costing a thousand dollar should
never need new string and ehould b
way stay in tune. A good road 1

eral time a mnch as a bad road, and
some portion of thl we can afford to
expend in keeping It in good condition.
The permanency of the road depend
upon its being kept In perfect repair.
Keep Out of the Rut.

In their pockets to drive In different

them, when they notice a road begin
ning to rut ever so little, turn out o
as not to drive In the same old wheel
track. Michigan farmers haven't learn
ed this yet. They like to get in a rut
and stay there, but they'll soon see th
folly of It, and then a whole lot of the
expense of maintenance will be don
