V' La Grande National Bank La Grande, Oregon It is a far cry from the construe- j tion of improved highways to the '. conservation of health, or at least there have been few persons identified ' with either of these movements who ' have been inclined to group them i together. Yet the state hoard of I health of Kansas has ocme forth i with the contention, supported by the Journal of the American Medical As sociation, that the two are inter-related. There are innumerable un controvertible and incontrovertable arguments in favor of the construc tion of good roads, but none of them j is more forcible than the one most recently put forth, that good roads are a disease preventative. At first thought, the reader is like ly to jump to the conclusion that the good roads make visits to or of the family physician easier and therefore more frequent, thus circumventing the development of disease, but that Lr not the argument. It is that in the construction of improved high ways, weeds and trash are removed from the road and roadsides. Weeds and trash prevent the prompt evapo ration of moisture and promote the retention of ground water. This makes ideal breeding places for mos quitos, flies and other insects, which are known as disease carriers, not tc mention chinch bugs, hoppers and other insects that are crop-damagers. Furthermore an undergrowth of weeds invites the dumping of gar bage and manure by offering con cealment, of which fact careless and thoughtless people are prone to take advantage, thus increasing the facil ity of insect breeding, and providing these insecls with proper material for disease transmission. To further clinch the argument it is put forth that many farms have no means of drainage except by ditches along the road, and that open ditches, clear of brush and debris, with hardened sur face and proper fall, such as the im proved highways provide, afford the farms the opportunity of ridding themselves of many a stagnant, disease-breeding pool. If, after the foregoing elucida tion there are some yet to be con vinced, it might bo added for their especial benefit that road oiling in itself is destructive of insect larvae, especially mosquitos.

Interest on the According to the American Medical Journal, good roads prevent disease by setting an example to adjoining farm premises; they promote travel and set an example to the farmer whose premises are bordered by them. The comparison of a well-graded, clean highway- with an unkept and trash barnyard adjoining is sufficient ti stimulate every land owner to clean up. Pride compels him to offer to passers by a neat appearing and at tractive house and barnyard. Re sults are only too obvious. Good roads are active disease prevention agencies, aside from their financial and commercial value.

The value of the lots according to the es timate given, and needed, to put the association on a firm basis is consid erably below the cost of neighboring lots, and to this extent those who chose to go in on the proposition will evidently get a bargain. The purchaser of such a lot would be asked to sign an agreement that es only, and in the event of the as-' License Money Collected. All license payers in the city, which includes pool roon:s, drays and mov ing picture houses, have been listed today, and all unpaid licenses will be collected at once. To save the city $20 or $25 the dray wagons will not be given license badges this year, as the number of dray lines is limited ar.d the police department can keep track of paid and unpaid licenses. The license money is, therefore, all "velvet" now. Notice. All accounts due Dr. J. W. Lough Jin are payable to Dr. A. L. Richard son. l-12tf. DR. J. W. LOUGHLIN.
