Washington Congress Anxious to
Help Oregon Build Her Mountain
Roads With Federal Aid LaFol
lette Supports Plan.
(Washington congressmen are prom
ising support to the plan to secure
appropriations for building the mountain-pass
roads from Walla Walla to
Elgin. Congressman LaFollette of
Eastern Washington is one of the
first to take this step, and a complete
description of the congressman's pur
poses is set. out in Walla . Walla pa
pers as follows:
(Walla Walla bulletin)
Congressman W. L. LaFollette, who
has been in the city for the past few
days, yesterday pledged himself to
work for the road across the Blua
mountain from Valla Walla to the
Grande Ronde valley. This can be ac
complished, he says, under the recent
appropriations for the construction of
roads in forest reserves. In an inter
view yesterday with A. F. Alexander
of the Up-To-The-Times mazagine
who has taken a leading part in the
agitation for the road, Congressman
La Follette promised to do all in his
power to get the money set aside for
this road.
Upon his return to Washington he
will confer with Congressman Sinnott
of Oregon, in whose district the Oro-
as I can see. And I will do all I can
to get it through."
(Walla Walla Union.)
The building of the proposed road
across the Blue mountains connecting
Walla Walla with the Wallowa coun
try was given added stimulus yester
day when Congressman iLaFollette
pledged himself to lend his aid in get
ting an appropriation from the special
good roads fund provided by the gov
eminent at the hist session of con
gress. ..-,
The government voted an appropri
ation of about $70,000,000 to be divid
ed among the different states in the
union or the purpose of aiding in the
building of roads and it is out of these
funds that Congressman LaFolletto
hopes to secure an appropriation for
the construction of the proposed Blue
mountain road to replace the present
toll road now connecting this valley
with the great Wallowa country.
Congressman LaFollette is familiar
with the status of the Blue mountain
toll road and yesterday stated that
toll roads should be a thing of the
past, especially sine? automobile
travel has become so universal.
Congressman LaFollette's willing
ness to co-operate with the Oregon
senators and congressmen in securing
federal aid in opening up the toll road
was received with much satisfaction
yesterday by the Commercial club and
those who have been actively inter
ested in buildintf the proposed road.
A. F. Alexander, who has been promi
nently identified in the construction of
this road stated yesterday that Con
gressman LaFollette's suggestion of
securing federal aid wiu probably the
solution of a vexing question. The
toll road being located within the
Wenaha forest reserve, will be liable
to secure more prompt attention

- Costly Econor.iy.
"The secret of Having money Is econ
omy, dou't you tulnkV" 1 asked of tbe
tad faced Itttlo man on crutches, adja
cent to whose home I bad just moved.
We had been making our acquaintance
through a common subject of Interest
The little man sighed. "Perhaps," he
aid rather sadly, "but one must al
ways be careful In selecting those
things on which It Is best to econo
mize." I waited attentively, knowing that
be bad something on his mlud which
he would feel better for tcHlng.
"My wife," he resumed, "wouldn't
let me sprinkle ashes on the path and
steps at our home for fear I would
track some of lt Into tlycuouso and In
jure the carpets.
"I slipped on the top step, broke my
leg, and lt cost me $340 for doctor's
bills, besides $425 thus far in loss of
salary. This would have paid for new
carpets In every room In the house and
left enough for an extended vacation
for my wife." .
And I thought from his tone of voice
that the last idea appealed to him rath
er strongly. Judge.
The Negotivo Egotist.
"I believe,'' the Oct iisUmul philoso
pher said, "that there may be such a
thing as the negative egotist. I mean
by this a person so modest about his
own merits that bis self depreciation
may bo a kind of egotism turned in
side out I am not sure whether this
Is a form of egotism that is to be con
demned or condoled. We all have a
touch of It at times. For Instance, we
may feel a painful degree of humanity
about a grease spot on oar clothes or
a splash of mud on our shoes, and the
pain of this humility consists largely
In the thought-that a large part of the
world has its eyes Bxcd (Irmly on that
grease spot or that splash of mud.
Tile egotistical part of this humanity,
of course, is In the Idea that so many
persons are likely to take note of a
delect in our attire. It is quite evi
dent that distress of this kind can ex
ist only where a certain amount of
pride about appearances Is kept alive."

Qaiolina Once Despised.
It is interesting to note how a despis
ed and perhaps, for the time, a harm
ful byproduct may develop into the
chief product of an ludustry and a
shortage seriously affect the general
comfort and economy of our lives.
Just now gasoline is an everyday ex
ample. In the time of the early coal
oil lamp many dangers lurked in the
poorly refined oil, and every effort was
made to increase the yield of high flash
kerosene and removo for this reason
gasollno from the oil. This gasoline
was then little more than a waste prod
uct, to be disposed of when possible or
thrown away and allowed to evaporate
or even run into the rivers with the re
sulting danger of Are. Now all is
changed, and the utmost effort of the
chemist and engineer is called for to
devise means of Increasing the yield of
this despised byproduct at the expense
of the higher boiling fractions in the
crude oil. Metallurgical and Chemical

Did Hi Beit.
The. young politician was as obliging
as possible, but there was a limit to
his possibilities. When the reporter
asked him what his wife would wear
at the mayor's reception he assumed a
confidential' air.
"I'll tell you just as much as I know
myself," be said. "Last night she told
me she should wear white. This
morning at breakfast she said she'd
decided on bcr rose colored gown, and
when I said goodby to her she had
spread a gray one beside the rose col
ored on one chair and her black lace
beside the white on another aud was

If her hair hadn't caught on a hook as
she turned round I nflglit have been j
able to tell you more."
Quean Elizabeth's Coal.
Queen Elizabeth was the first Eng
lish monarch to realize the value of
the coal ni'nos as a state owned mono
poly. She obtained a lease of all the
Durham fields for 00 a year, and then
proceeded to manipulate a corner in
coals with much success. She annexed
the prlvato pits of the Percys when
they were profitably developing them
selves and only consented after a time
to allow them a small percentage on
their own stuff. She chartered a com
pany in Newcastle as virtual monopo
lists hi the sale of Northumbrian coal
to shippers and so engineered matters
that the lord mayor of London formal
ly complained that Newcastle freemen's
rights had been bartered away to a
monopoly and begged for some limita
tion to the price, which had now been
forced up to a pound a chaldron. Coal
had previously been sold in London at
4 shillings a chaldron. Pearson's
Weekly.
Poets and Dogs.
Poets bave always loved dogs. In
this poets and boys resemble each oth
er. Wultcr Savago Landor was de
voted to bis dog Giallo, and Byron's
epitaph upon his dog Boatswalu we all
remember:
To mark a friend's remains these stones
arise.
I never had but one, and there lie Ilea
Cowper was very fond of his dog,
and we know how Charles Lamb, who
was a prose poet, loved his Dash and
how Mrs. Browning appreciated the
little Flush to whom she Indited, a
poem. The Earl of Shaftesbury kept
his noble collie in bis library with him
at all times, and Samuel Rogers al
ways walked out with bis dog. Scott
declined an Invitation to dinner when
his dog died, saying that he could not
accept on account of the "loss of an
old friend." St Jumes' Gazette.
The Elusive Fly.
Any one who has tried with out
stretched hand to catch n fly cannot
fall to have noticed Its wonderful
alertness In escaping. "One reason
for this." explains a naturalist, "Is the
fact that the fly was watching the
movements of Us would be enptor out
of all or most of Its 8,000 eyes. An
other reason for Its rapid retreat Is
Forget Once In Awhile.
I The health of the body as well as of
j the mind depends upon forgetting. To
let the memory of a wrong, of angry
words, of petty meanness, linger and
rankle in your memory will not only
dissipate your mental energy, but it
will react upon tbe body. The secre
tions will be diminished, digestion Im
paired, sleep disturbed and the general
health suffer In consequence. Forget
ting is a splendid mental callsthenlc

second and to travel through the air
at a rate of a mile In two and a half
minutes or twenty-four miles an hour."

Come In And Let Me Tell You About My
New Farm Loan
A 20 Year Amortized Rural Credit Loan
No Commission No Renewals
TO UNION COUNTY FARMERS:-
For several years I have been working and
planning for easier money to loan on good old Grand
Rondo farm lands.
Finally I have arranged with one of the largest
loaning companies (a company that has $85,000,000
loaned to the farmers of the West) for a real Rural
Credit loan based on a 20-year amortized plan. 20
equal payments of but little more than current in
terest pays off your entire debt. I
You pay no commissions, choose your own date
of payment and pay at your own bank. You can pay,
any amount of your loan at any time- This plan
figures you a saving of nearly 3 per cent over the
usual farm loan made heretofore in this county. If
interested call and let me explain fully.
