A few excerptH follow: A road acronn the range) He remenilwred what bin lawyer had ald. buck therein the Indiana town. Thla Mtrlp of Impalpable laud wan the hx'ked gate between the Eattt and the Went. Were It opened, would East and West uae It? He calculated the motor-car making the transcontinental Journey, and chocolng a desert pathway a thou sand rullen to the south. He thought of the growing cities from the Great Lakes to the Sierra, and knew they yearned for a drive to the ocean. He thought of the wealthy thousands to the west who would welcome a highway to the older states. And be thought of thousands In eastern Oregon who were barred from tbelr own metropolis; from whom the splendid scenery of their own state was hidden; and who were strangers to their brethren Iteyond the range beyond this Cascade wall across their commonwealth. And the purpose of making a road from the East to the West took shape In his soul. A hundred thousand teams and machines would travel over It In a year. All the nation would know about Cascade Pass. It would stim ulate travel, l'resently the world's fair will open In San Francisco. There would be a procession from the Kant all summer and full. And since the snow would never block the way, here would be the course of travel always to California In the winter. It would be the most useful thing In Oregou. It would reach more homes with Its lenetits more homes In more states than any work with in the power of man. Aud I think people would appreciate the beauty of It, and love America more. Valley Town bloomed as It never had bloomed la-fore. Vacant and neglected lots bore the rich harvest of attractive homes. Corners that bad caught the wind and the dust from the day of village founding sent up walls of wood and stone, and spread about them cool, green lawns with foliage and (lowers. The broad streets were paved, the hill sides terrrced Into use and beauty The stores were bigger, and were better filled. I'atrons multiplied In numbers. Ituslness grew, and Solid Ity was the name of Valley Town. E, E. C00VERT A CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR E. E.

DEMAND FOR FRUIT EXPERTSJS STRONG The agricultural college In the Pa clllc Northwest states and California have given the department of horti culture special attention during the last few years and today are recog ulzed us among the leading Institu tions In this class of work. They are turning out Increased numbers of plant pathologists each year and as yet have not been able to supply the demand. The reason Is clear. Orcharding In the Pacific Northwest Is rapidly developing along scientific lines and there Is no class of farmer that realizes more fully the Impor tance of expert plant pathologists, entomologists and horticulturists than the fruit growers. This Is evi denced by the fact that districts are employing such men to study gen eral conditions, carry ou Investiga tions, and locate the causes of trouble as they come along and pro vide remedies. Large orcbardlsts are seeking the services of expert horticulturists and Ht the present time the Pacific Northwestern Instl tlons are unable to supply the de mand.

HOPE TO TALK FROM ML ADAMS TO JAPAN A party of White Salmon people Is figuring on making the ascent of Mount Adams In July, taking with them professional guides aud a port able wireless telegraph set.
