'Jewett realizes that l'alge owners aro the ones, above ,ull others, who know the l'alge cars and can offer the best sugges- tlpns as to how they can be made better. The same tiling applies to tho 1'algu's llttlo brother, the Jew ett. v Of course,, factory engineers have Ideas as to what should ne done to improvo the car. bit sometimes they want to change the very thing the public likes.

The gasoline . filling station lias replaced the familiar old sappllng that formerly was swung down to block Die public highways In the form of a toll gate. Motorists ure paying part of the highway construction expense at threo cents a gallon at the filling station pump, where formerly every vehicle passing the desig nated spots hud to plank down u qjurter. Toll gates were satisfying to traffic 100 years ago when the pioneers , blazed through forested areas and established accommo dation for travel, but today the state is building Us own Improved and modern highways. Motorists will drive miles out of tho way over another route to escape the periodical gates. On June I i, 1796, one turnpike company organized a toll roud with rates ranging from one cent for every ten sheep or hogs, lo threo cents for each four-horse carriage. The rates advanced with the progress in roads and modes of travel and similar toll systems were adopted in other states. The old toll gates In Tennessee became unpopular. v Now through tho red, blue, yellow and white gas filling pump, the state Is net ting nearly $3,000,000 in 1925 to ward its public highway con struction fund.

'The Anti-Saloon league Is reully the church in action against the organized liquor traffic," Bishop Nicholson asserted. . "No greater danger could buiall the league than to have a diminution of in terest on the part of tho churches. 'Muny of our officers have been and 8ill ure clergymen. They have worked on meager sulurics, ulmo.st -without exception sucill'l- cially. The president receives no salary and some others of the gen eral officers serve gratuitously. The general superintendent and general counsel are paid moderate Halurles. Collections that have supported the league have been in very' large measure free-will of ferings taken in the churches of the various denominations. - 'A wonl should be tiaid also for the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union and other similar or ganizations. Not a few of them nave suifered ignominy at the hands of unscrupulous persons.

(Special) I Three outstanding mountain peaks which cluster around Wallowa lake hiave been given names significant j of the early history of that district by the United States geographic board, according to word received from the board by J.

The peak in the past known as Signal mountain, lying east of the lake, was renamed by the board, "Howard," in honor of General Oliver Otis Howard who cam paigned In the two famous Indian wars of that district, thut against Chief Joseph and the Bannock- I Piute war. i Middle mountain, . lying to the south of the lake, has beon re named 'Bonneville" for General Benjamin I V. Bonneville, who was the first white man to visit the district in 1834. He passed over the mountains of that district in the dead of winter when the .snow was declared to have been 100 feet deep. The third mountain, commonly known as Tunnel mountain, which la west of the lake, has been named "Chief Joseph" after the famous Indian chief who defended his country in a bloody war against the white man. Tho renaming of these three mountains was sponsored by the Trail See kern, an organization which Is seeking to glvu suitable names to outstanding geographical features of Oregon's scenery. : Mr. Barry said the organization hud been working on the proposi tion for the last year and a half.
