Having been requeated to give thr

Aa to the clipping handed mo from
the Katucada ProgreaN, I beg to say
that there waa no appropraltlon of
$1600 or any other definite amount
made for road oiling. Tho auto license
waa received from tho aecretnry of
state, January 14, 1915. amount being
$1647.82. This amount was at once
turned Into the general road fund of
tho county by County Treasurer Dunn,
according to tho requirements of the
state law. It has been used as other
money hi the general fund Is use for
road and bridge purposes.
As to the money having gone as
tray or having bn given to Ed Olds
for machinery, that la pure fabrication,
Mr. Olds having no now machinery tliBt
I recall except a road grader purchased
Jointly between his dlstrlot and Hist.

If tho road oilliiR machine Is referred
to, that Is the property of the whole
county,' and Is an equipment for heat
ing and spreading asplmltum,
In ordor to get tha "oily mesB" of
nrudo pournalisin entirely surrounded
I might summnrlr.e by saying:
Road oiling cost the county $346.07,
Oil was spread on two roads on the
east side of tho Willamette river. No
oil was used on the west side, although
some should have been, to protect the
Bitrface of tho west aide road, which
carries a heavy traffic. No oil was
used on asphalt surface roads built
'ast year. We spread no oil in Mult
nomah county, as reported. We never
had any dealings with the Oregon City
Auto club In regurd to fund for oiling
roads, although we doubtless talked
with members of the club about the
matter, as well as with others who are
not members.

"Oregon City dry" has been marked

Anderson dry law has about ten times

which the local option law had. If the

knock a home-run every time the ball
was pitched. These are the gentle

the benefit of these worshipers of tech

suggest that, due to the insistence of
Senator Walter Ulmick of Mr. Brow

eminent criminal lawyer Is advising a
bibulous brother how to secure liquor
from outside the state, (when the law
prohibits him from receiving any ad'
vertisement circulars, letters, price
lists, solicitation or Information, when
he does not know who has It where it
Is, nor what the price of It is) that his
good wife, with equally able legal coun

cured it smash it; and. having smash
ed It she will have insured for her
spouse a period of drouth for the next

to prime himself to spit, and put him
self to soak In the bath tub before he
can hold soup if, indeed, he does not
have to resort to the wearing of cor

It may be that, after the astute crim

enfranchised Oregon wives, that they
will advise their cllentst that the fes

Wednesday that the offer of the W. H.

Gladstone for $1 a yard or a six-inch
improvement for $1.20 will probably
come up Friday, while the application
of West Linn for a franchise to lay
a water pipe across the suspension
bridge will be taken up before the end
of the week. He was doubtful that
the plan of reducing the number of
road districts would come up before
the latter part of the month.
HIGHWAY BONDS ARE

BAKER, Ore., Sept. 1. A movement
Is under way to bond the county of
Baker to build a hard surface highway
between this ctiy and the Panhandle
section, connecting Baker with Pine
and Eagle valleys and the Intermediate
territory by way of the Lower Powder
country. The success of motor trucks
In a great measure solving the trans
portation problem started the move
ment locally, and It has been taken up
by the papers of Richland and Half
way, the business centers of the two
valleys, which are favorable to the
proposition.
For many years the producers of the
Panhandle have had a limited market,
owing to lack of transportation. The
wagon haul to Baker from Pine valley
is about 65 miles, from Eagle about
10 miles less. r
The fruit growers and ranchers have
been able to get their products to the
local market in the best of condition
and as the autos make two trips each
way dally, the growers received good
prices and hr.ve been able to ship out
of here by rail to Portland and other
points to good advantage. The truck
proposition has been In every way
proven a success, but It has one seri
ous drawback.
The roads are passable for auto
travel, or at least for heavy trucks, not
more than nine months out of the year,
but with a good, hard surfaced road
the year through travel would be pos
sible. ' .
Newspaper Man Recommends It
R. R. Wentworth of the St. James,

ago I took a severe cold which settled
in my lungs and I had such pains In
my lungs I feared pneumonia. I got
a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar and
it straightened me up Immediately. I
can recommend it to be a genuine
cough and lung medicine. Many
mothers write this reliable medicine
cured their children of croup. Hay
