The Good Roads Campaign
Whether or not the state legis
lature provides Oregon with a
plan for systematic highway con
struction the Oregon Good Roads
Association believes that during
the last year more has been ac
tually accomplished toward the
permanent making of good roads
than during any other period in,
the state's history. This is be
cause of the widespread convic
tion which it has been possible
to obtain that Oregon's first and
greatest development need is
good roads construction.
One of the most intent factors
for the dissemination of educa
tional matter leading up to the
general conviction of good roads
needs has been the out-state pa
pers (members of the Associa
tion.) Discussions of the need
of better built highways, and of
the plan for securing them have,
in the papers referred to. been
full and free and frank and ef
fective. The Oregon Good Roads Asso
ciation does not intend to give
up the fight for highway con
struction whether the good roads
laws as adopted by the legisla
ture are satisfactory or not. The
leaders of the organization be
lieve that with the, help of the
state press and progressive citi
zenship unofficial promotion of
the good roads cause will be ef
fective and desirable either in
conjunction with the enforce
ment of such laws as may be
passed, or if the laws are not
passed.
Locjting Up the Coal Fields
The injustice of locking up
Alaska s coal fields is seen in a
recent report which shows that
the northern territory bought a
million dollars' worth of coal
from the outside last year. Of
this amount the mines of British
Columbia furnish $700,000 worth
Washington $82,000 worth and
the rest came from other f laces
And all the while there are vast
storehouses of coal within the
boundaries of Alaska, which dare
not be touched. They are being
"conserved" for the future;
while the people who are pio
neering must pay tribute in the
way of duties to a foreign gov
ernment. Coal customs paid by
Alaskans last year amounted to
$100,000. No other government
in the world would treat its own
sons as the United States is do
ing in Alaska.
Will Benefit Pacific Coast
The designation of San Fran
cisco as the place for holding the
Panama International Exposi
tion is of vast importance to the
west By this action congress
has focused the attention of the
world on the Pacific coast for
many years to come and the good
work started by the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition in 1909
will be carried forward. Many
people who visit the 1915 fair
will pass through the northwest
coming or going. At the very
outset the lumber interests of the
northwest, and Washington in
particular, will reap the benefit
of business resulting from exten
sive construction.
NORTHWEST NOTES
The Hill and Harriman lines
will subscribe $1,000 each to the
1911 Rose Festival. President
John F. Stevens of the North
Bank announced the Hill sub
scription this week and Harri
man officials say the $1,000 for
merly given will be forthcoming
this season as usual. Both rail
road systems are making great
effort to handle an unusually
heavy traffic during June, be-j
cause of the wide advertising
that will be given the Festival j
and the large number of tourists !
attracted this way as a result. j
Portland is joining with other
cities of the coast in helping to
relieve the famine situation in
China. Large quantities of food
stuffs will be sent from that city
to the sufferers, transportation
companies having agreed to
carry the supplies without charge.
Central Oregon will hear the
locomotive whistle for the first
time this summer. Operation of
the Oregon Trunk will probably
be commenced to Madras early
in March, and somewhat later
the Deschutes Railroad will run
trains to Redmond. These new
lines will mark the beginning of
a new era of settlement for the
whole region east of the Cascade
mountains.
The formation of a -syndicate
to clear logged-off lands of South
west Washington and place them
on the market, is a step tnat
might be followed with profit on
the other side of the Columbia
river. These lands, once cleared,
are among the most valuable for
diversified farming, fruit grow
ing and dairying. To put them
to use is to make a great addi
tion to the wealth of the state.
A city of 2,000,000 people at
Portland is included in the plan
of Municipal Architect E. H.
Bennett, who is mapping out a
greater city, His project calls
for the segregation of the various
activities into districts and
groups, and the beautification of
the whole municipality. Pars,
boulevards and better buildings
are prominent features of the
plan.
Two additional salmon hatch
eries on tne Lower Columbia
river are provided for in the bill
passed this week by the United
States senate, appropriating $50,
000 for the purpose. If this
measure passes the house it will
mean a great deal to the salmon
indus' ry of the Northwest, add
ing largely to the wealth taken
annually from the Coluumbia
and its tributaries.
This is farmers' week at the
Oregon Agricultural College and
there is a large attendance of
those interested in agricultural
problems. Lectures and demon
strations of the greatest value to
farmers are being given. These
cover stock-raising, dairying, hor
ticulture, intensive farming, and
practically every branch of the
industry. The attendance is
much larger than during the
special short courses of former
years and great interest is shown
by farmers from all parts of the
state.

BIG POWER PLANT
STILL A MYSTERY
For several month the develop
ment of tt very lare power plant on
the Kliekltat river, near (11m wood,
ha I evn keeping reldelita of that
country and White Salmon buy
KUexxiiiK what It I to be ued for.
The point where the company I tie
veloplnii the plant kIvch It an almoxt
lieer fall of 700 feet, and the fact that
no one In the neighborhood ha leen
able to dlc.)ver what the power I
Intended for, ha given the art-lie of
the work the name of Camp Mystery.
i Many have leen the speculation In-
duln'l In by thone who know of the
operation, and tt ha lieen attribu
ted to several big Interest, among
them the Hill railroad. A history
of the development of the plant, as
told by the H 1111 m correspondent of
the OreKontnn, Is a follows:
"In the fall of l'.Wil thl company
was formed by Win. It. King, engi
neer, J. H. Hanson and other, and
Incorporated under the laws of Ore
gon, with a capitalization of $7.V),.
000. The project was launched os
tensibly to Irrigate the table lauds
In the vicinity of (ilenwood and to
reclaim a large area In the Cama
Prairie region, but It I asserted that
the appropriation of the water Is for
power purposes only. Water Is to
lie diverted from the Kliekltat river
Inflow the mouth of Itlg Muddy river,
which can be carried upon the lands
by gravity Mow, affording excellent
opportunities for pitwer develop
ment. "From reliable authority it Is
learned that by summer 150 men will
be employed by the company on the
head works and Hume of seven miles.
The canyon walls of the Klickitat are
steep where the headgate for diver
sion I located, making It necessary
to Hume the water along this dis
tance until the level of the adjacent
country is reached. Here, it Is
stated, an electric plant of 40,000
homhpower will lie Installed.
"It Is a known fact that the Hill
Interest and others have acquired
large tracts of timber In the vicinity
of the projebt now under construc
tion, but it Is also asserted that the
Klickitat Development Company
will.expend $J.0OO,0O0 In an Irrigation
ami power project for their own use,
the purpose of which has not leen
made known."
GOVERNMENT CREATES NEW
FOREST SERVICE POSITION
A new government position Is dis
closed by the announcement by the
I'. S Civil Servlc Commission ol an
examination, w hich will be held Feb
Si and 24 to find three grazing ex
aminers for the Forest Service. The
positions will pay a salary of $1,i1hi
a year at entrance.
The announcement specifies that
the applicant must be men, at least
twenty years old, and possessed of
at least one year of technical train
ing In specified botanical studies.
The establishment of this position
I said to le in line with the objects
which the Department of Agriculture
ha hail In view In It management
of grazing on the National Forests,
and to obtain scientific data.
The proposal to appoint specialists
who are both thoroughly trained
botanists and men of practical ex-is-rience
In range matters Indicates
recognition of the fact that to attain
the highest point of range produc
tivity the best scientific knowledge
must be applied to the study of the
problems of forage production and
utilization. As stock graze on the
range, the effect on the different
kinds of vegetation differs both with
Its palatabllity or unpalatabillty
or with Its capacity to produce seed,
Its time of seeding. Its resistance to
trampling. Its manner of growth,
and many other elemehts.
What Is aimed at now Is nothing
less than to find out all the things on
which depend the production of the
largest amount of beef, mutton,
wool, and hides on a given area.
This Involves, learning how both to
restrict and to time the grazing so
as not to Interfere with the repro
ductlon of the most valuable ele
meiits In the forage crop, how to
prevent unnecessary loss to feed
through trampling ud In other
ways, how to exterminate poison
ous plant from the range, how to
prevent the loss of forage which re
sult from the multiplication of prai
rie dogs and gophers, whether It Is
practicable to Introduce new forage
plants hy direct seeding, and many
other matters It I to look Into
such matters that the grazing exam
iner are to be appolnt'-it.
