THE HEART AND JTH TR EASURE Lay not up for your
selves treasure upon earth, where molh and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up fur
yourselves treasures In heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and
steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:18, 20, 21.
Reforms come in a subtle way.' Eating: tobacco in public
wasn't wholly doomed until closed cars took the field.
A woman can put on a bathing suit and not go swimming,
or a riding habit and not get on a horse, or an evening dress
i and not go near a parly, but when she dons a wedding dress
she is determined to go to a wedding. At least that is our
Conclusion when reading of the recent, breach-of-proniise
suit in Chicago.
I As The Observer favored the appointment of Krank
':' Wilier as public service commissioner, it is gratifying to read
j: the almost universal approval with 'which his actual appoint
; ment has been received throughout the state. Governor
1 Patterson was fortunate in having such a man available, can
feel pleased that Mr. Miller was willing to undertake this
important state service.
COLUMBIA HIGHWAY CONGESTION
The DnJhrxyjicJeJa, imjjVfifS(, lWl,UP V5JwifpU.
and. tangent qualities oi the Evergreen highway now partially
constructed on the north bank of the Columbia River in
: Washington. In competition with the narrow, curving Col
,'. umbia River highway between The Dalles and Portland the
Chroniclo sees much of the tourist traffic of the future
" diverted over the Washington side. The editorial's conclud-
, ing paragraph says:
'
if "Oregon could build a similar road on this side of
i the river, a little at a time as the commission's fin
ances permit. No further widening or reconstruc
tion should be scheduled elsewhere in the state,
however, until some steps are tiikcn to remove the
more dangerous places along the present upper
Columbia river road."
There is, without question, serious need for a definite
i program of improvement on
Portland. Traffic is already too great for the road to carry
expeditiously and safely during the season of heavy travel.
l!ut one one knows this letter than members of the highway
commission and officials of Multnomah county. They have
already given the need serious consideration and will, wc are
confident, effect a definite remedy as rapidly as possible.
The problem of widening and straightening the Columbia
highway is, we imagine, more serious and more complicated
than meets the layman's eye. In the first place, much of the
dangerous part of the road lies in Multnomah county and is
not, therefore, under state supervision and cannot be rebuilt
with state highway funds. Second, the Columbia River
highway carries a great quantity of traffic for the simple
I reason that it is a narrow, twisting scenic road probably the
i most beautiful in the world. To plan reconstruction without
j taking that into account would be to destroy an asset of
j great value.
j Traffic must be cared for with speed and safety. l!ut the
'desire of the American tourist for the unusual and the beau
tiful must be pampered, too. And the probable solution,
from the viewpoint of the average Oregon citizen not aided
by expert engineering knowledge, is widening anil cutting
down curves where scenic values will not be injured and the
construction of a second highway, lower and more direct, to
handle the trucks, buses, and faster commercial traffic
From Multnomah rails, for example, a straight road into
Portland over the flat, lands along the liver, rather parallel
to the railroad, has already received the attention of Mult
nomah county. A similar alternate route will eventually be
the solution from The Dalles west. Only in such a way can
both traffic and scenery be served. I!ut it is not a project
thnt can be conceived and completed in a day. It is a big job
deserving of deliberation and careful planning. And it is
having just that.

Regains Health
That Hargon, the new, revolu
tionary formula, perfected after
years of scientific .esearch, is one
of tlie greatest health-giving rem
edies of the age, 1h conclusively
proven by the unquestionable evi
dence of thousands of people
throughout the country who have
been lifted from the throes of III
health "by its use.
Itight hero in tho northwest
thousands have taken It with tho
most astonishing and gratifying
results and scores have como for
ward to tell of Its amazing pow
ers. Among the latest to give en
thusiastic public endorsement of
Hargon Is Charles W, Hnyder, K:
Pine St., Seattle. Mr. Hnyder waH
formerly a locomotive engineer
but was retired several years ago.
l ie is a veteran of the Spanish -American
war. Mr, Snyder said:
"I feel just as halo and hearty
today as I did when I was an en
gineer fifteen years ago and I
give Sargon all the credit.
"My stomach was badly out of
order and my whole system seem
ed to bo poisoned from constipa
tion. Itheumatie pains tnado It al
most Impossible for me to walk
up und down tho stairs. My appe
tite failed completely and I was

"Now, after a few weeks of' the
Sargon treatment, it Is actually
hard for ine to believe that any
thing was ever tho matter with
mt1, I'm entirely rid of. ItidlgeHtlon
my appetite is flue and, best of
all. the pains have gone out of my
legs and I can get around as well
as anybody. Constipation is a
thing of the past with me and I
feel a hundred per cent better In
every way. My friends know that
when I say a thing I mean it and
1 wouldn't be recommending Sar
