Road Improvement
Is Asked of Court
A committee of three, Frank Fish
er, W. G. Jlandall and P. S. King re
presenting the tax payers of Bond
Road District S, approached the Coun
ty court, Monday for the purpose of
providing ways and means of carrying
on the paving programme of sections
1. and c of Bond district S. The coun
ty court agreed to the proposed plan
and ordered a survey to be made and
plans and specifications to be drawn,
pfter which they will call for bids for
Ihe actual construction.
It was also decided by the court
to lay a sixteen foot six inch concrete
road thru Mt. Pleasant, beginning at
the city limits of Oregon City and
ending at the forks of the road just
beyond the school house and to con
tinue from that point thru Central
Point as a nine foot concrete road
with a seven foot macadam road along
tide.
It was also decided to lay an eight
foot concrete road besides the pres
ent road on the South end road
1182 MILFS OF STATE
ROAD UNDER CONTRACT
U.ider contract in Oregon are 1152
miles of road work undrr the state
highway commission. Bridge work
under contract for the highway ' sy s
tem aggregates $1,640,459.
Contracts held ever from 1920
work which had not been completed
last year amounted to 578.4 mile's.
Since the first of the current year
the commission has placed under con
tract 605.2 miles. -
Much Work Held Over
Held over from 1920 were 72,2
miles of paving, 269 miles of rock
and gravel surfacing and 237.2 miles
of grading For this year up to July
1, the commission awarded contacts
for 128.6 miles of hard-surface pave
ment;" 20S.8 miles of rock and gravel
surfacing and 267.8 miles of grading
Bringing the totals up to date, 20.'.S
miles of hard-surfacing are being
laid: 477.8 miles of rock and gravel
surfacing, and 505 miles of grading.
It is probable that considerable mile
age now under contract will have to
go over until 1922, owing to the late
date at which some of the contracts
were let and the rains which inter
fered with the contractors earlier in
the season However, if the rains
hold off in the fall, and there have
been times when road work could be
prosecuted until the end of October,
most of the contracts now on the
books will be cleaned up.
Paving Programme Near End
The hard-surfacing programme is
rapidly nearing completion, for the
Columbia, highway is under contract
for the part that is to hard-snrfaced,
and most of the Pacific highway 13
either paved or under contract and
the last of it will probably be con
tracted for paving next year. The
John Day. the Coos Eay-Roseburg,
the Roosevelt, The Dalles-California
and other highways such as this
Mount Hood loop and the Crater
lake roads, are net on the map for
liadsurfacing, but will be macadam
ized. In the distant future some of
these roads may be hard-surfaced, but
there is not a great deal of pavement
to ba laid.
During 1920 933.9 miles of work
were completed. Of this 384.1 miles
were hard-surfacing; 275 miles were
rock and macadam, and 474.8 miles
were grading.
As to the bridge work undertaken
by the department, there was $934,
OOo worth performed in 1920 anl
there was held over from last year
?736,160. This year there was placed
imder contract $904,299, making $1,
640,459 now in force. There is adver
640,459 now in force.

tional forest, with particular stress
on the, recreational part, is my sug
gestion." Th beauty and magnitude of the
great fir forests of the Cascades im
pressed Mr. Eaton as significant ot
the scenic beauty. He compared the
craggy peaks and mountain ridges cf
the Rockies with those of the Cas
cades, stating that in his belief the
Cascades were by far the more valu
able from the scenic and beauty
standpoint.
"Of course you must consider that
there are two individual types of
scent ry in the comparison," he de
clared. '.'But the beauty of the snow
capped peaks which break at inter
vals the monotony of the continuous
range are th? secret of. the magnifi
cent Cascade scenery."
Mr. Eaton said the snow-capped
peaks of the Cascades make for Am
erica a miniature Alps, where every
type of tourist can obtain that par
ticular thing in which he is inter
ested. Crater Lake Beauty Lauded
The party spent a week at Crater
lake, and here again Mr. Eaton was
impresed with the beauty. He criti
cised the average tourists who go to
Crater lake, saying they do not leave
the immediate vicinity of the sum
mer resort hotel there. The author
obtained an alpine rope and made
the descent to the rim of the lake.
"From the rim oi the lake is where
the real beauty can be enjoyed," he
raid. "rV wanted to get down to
where I could lock up and tee the
towering crags above and then I be
gan to appreciate its beauty."
Snow prevented the party from
making fhe trip around the rim ot
the lake and this phase of the sched
ule -was called off.
"A terrific mountain," is the way
the author characterizes Mount Jef
ferson, which he attempted to cl'mu
from Hunts Cove, The party made
the trip to within about 1000 feet
of the top when they found it would
be impossible to reach the summit
before darkness and gave up the
MESSAGE SHOWS AID GIVEN TO
AMERICAN WORLD WAR VETERANS
WASHINGTON, July 25. (Special
correspondence.) President Harding
coupled .his plea fora postponement
of the soldier bonus bill with a state
ment of what has been done for the
relief of disabled iveterans that is
very impressive. Some of the facts
contained in the president's address
to the senate are as follows:
Up to July 7, 1921, there had" been
iled in the wai risk insurance bureau
813,442 claims for compensation and
insurance. Of that number T.47,7$3
have been adjudicated at a cost of
$471,946,762. When the bureau was
reorganized in April 200,000 claims
were pending. Since April, 134,344 ot
these claims have reached a settle
ment. Since the 1st of July all woriv
in the war risk bureau is current,
with new claims filed at the rate of
about 700 per day.
Up to July 7, 887,614 medical ex
aminations have been made, and less
than 14,000 applications are pending.
Hospitalization has been accorded 26,
237 disabled veterans, and in govern
ment hospitals there are today 6600
available vacant beds. In spite of that
fact many new hospitals are now un
der construction, not because more
beds are needed, but to provide bet
ter accommodations and special treat
ment where needed.
In allotments' and allowances there
has been paid out $578,465,658, and
there- is now in force government in
surance totaling almost $4,000,000,
00. Many Get Training
In vocational training and rehabili
tation 107,824 men have been enrolled.
There are 75,812 men in training with
pay at a maximum cost of $160 per
month. Of the rest, 8208 men are
training without pay, but at a cost
to the government for tuition and
supplies of $35 per month. Over 4000
disabled men have completed their
training and have returned to gainful
employment. Before these men en
tered the army they were earning
an average of $1051 per year. They
Quality Of Gas Now
Is Up To Standard
That the quality of gasoline has
been maintained. despite the facts
that the stocks on hand at the re
fineries this spring have been the
greatest on record and that retail
prices have been materially reduced
is indicated by preliminary data ob
tained from the examination of sam
ples collected in Washington, D. C,
by the United States Bureau of Mines
in its fourth semi-annual survey of
the motor gasolines sold commercial
ly throughout the country. Whiie
the, average quality of gasoline now
being sold is very similar to that sold
a year ago, there is a noticeable dif
ference in the shape of the distilla
tion curve, due presumably to the in
creasing use of benzol blends in the
eastern part of the country. The pre
liminary figures also confirm the de
ductions of previous surveys that
there is a decided difference between
the gasoline sold in summer and in
winter.
The average. boiling point of gas
oline sold in Washington a year ago
was 279 degrees Fahrenheit. Today It
is 278 degrees, a negligible difference.
Last winter the boiling point averag
ed 270 degrees, and the the winter
befoe 267 degrees.
climb. "And I was ready to quit,"
declared the author as he recited ih-e
incident of the climb.
"Dante's Inferno" Seen
"The Newberry crater of East lake,
r.ear Bend, is a picturization of
Dante's Infei-no," he declared in de
scribing hia trip to this rough sec
tion of the interior. The party return
ed - to Portland through the Jnterior
to The Dalles and then back over the
Columbia highway.
The author sounded a note of
warning in the sign boards which
are beginning to spring into promi
nence along the highway. "Keep the
billboards off this great scenic high
way, and it will be a great feather
'n Oregon's cap," he said, a3 ho
spoke of the deplorable manner in
which the highways and drives of
the east have been ruined by this
evil.
Mr. Eaton paid a tribute to the
mountain climbing ability, of Mr. Ri
ser and the manner in which he gets
Kiser took motion pictures of the en
tire trip.
Party to Go East
For the last two years the author
rmd critic has been an instructor in
Columbia university school of Jour
nalism, of New York City. He con
ducts " classes and special lecture
work on dramatic and litercry criti
cisms. "I went to columbia university
with a little skepticism about the
teaching of journalism," he ssiid, "but
I received an agreeable surprise
when I found out how much could
really bo taueht through the courses
of instruction there, to the prospect
ive journalist. The demand for the
graduates of the school of journal
ism, in the newspaper profession
throughout the country, was a pleas
ant revelation to me."
Mr. and Mrs. Eaton will leave here
today for their home in Sheffield,
tut Mr. Eaton plans to make more
trips to Oregon and the west. He
gathered material while on the out
ing for a new Boy Scout book which
he will begin work on 'when he ar
rives heme. The title of it will be
'Boy Scouts on the Sky Line Trail."
The author is pleased with the de
mand for his book "Boy Scouts in
Glacier National Park' in which ha
describes the beauty of the park. He
said this proves the interest which
the people throughout the country
are tiiking in the national park
scenery.
Mr. Eaton gathered material also
for a number of magazine articles
and special feature stories, while on
the trip.
1 are now earning, in spite of their war
disabilities $1550 per year.
President Harding emphasizes the
fact that the care and reeducation of
our disabled men is the nation's first
uuiy. r or tne present iiscai year
congress appropriated $65,000,000 for
that work, but it has since developed1
that before the close of the year there'
will be 95,000 men accepted for train
ing, as a cost of nearly $100,000,000
more. "This additional sum must be
made available," declares Mr. Hard
ing, "and it is not to be doubted that
congress will respond with the nec
essary appropriation." " With the in
crease of availability of training, as
has been urged upon congress, the es
timated annual expenditure would
reach $468,000,000.
M"ch Accomplished
It is figuresi such as these that
bring one to a realization of what
has been done and what must be done
to discharge our obligations to the
disabled, veterans. It is a duty that
no one shirks, and that all adrit must
be generously met. But it can never
be met successfully if the financial
stability of the treasury is to be jeo
pardized by billions of wholesale gra
tuities distributed among able-bodied
overseas men who are perfectly com-,
petent to support themselves and
their families in comfort.
Compared with the veterans of
former wars, the -survivors of the
World war have been dealt with most
generously by the government. In
pay while in service, in insurance
privileges, in compensation to de
pendents, in hospital advantages and
ans of 1918 have advantages far su
perior to those of 1865. They (get no
more than they deserve, of course,
but do not the men of '61 and their
widows) and children have as just a
claim to adjusted compensation as
those of a later day? Men who offer
their lives for their country should
be treated alike, regardless of the
war in which they fought?
Below, are given the average dis
tillation figures for the samples so
far collected In Washington. While
there is little change in the average
boiling point as compared with a year
ago, the difference in the actual char
acter of the fuel, indicating increased
use of benzol blends, is particularly
noticeable at the 50 per cent point.
