Work Challenges Comparison. "The finished work In Columbia County challenges comparison with the results obtained by an equal expemu ture of money on road work in an state in the Union. More than 400,000 cubic yards of material were moved besides the large amount of walls built (besides the faulty ones), culverts con structcd and finishing done.

BENSON. HOUSE IS CLEARED " H. L. Bowlby. State Highway En gineer, who was criticised at a meet ing of the ways and means committee of the State Senate at Salem Monday night, issued a statement last night in renlv tn f hA rhirrpfl m It . I q nfrftinMr him. While answering specifically the va- 16. (Special.) Although REJECTED BILTj VIXS PLACE Act to Abolish Dairy and Food Office Placed on Calendar. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb, rious criticisms of the Columbia High . way work in Columbia County Major Bowlby -declared- that the finished work itself is the best answer to hi critics, as it "challenges comparison with the result obtained by an equu expenditure of money in road work in any state. Major Bowlby quotes a letter from S. Benson, whdse efforts have been larzelv instrumental in bringing abou the construction of the Columbia high way. Writing to Major Bowlby rrom California Mr. Benson said, "I think our start on highway work in Ore ron compares well with work done here, and I know we make less mis takes and less experiments." The statement of Major Bowlby fol lows: T have been asked to make a state merit relative to the meeting of sev eral contractors, ex-county oinciius and their attorneys with the Senate wavs and means committee Monday rizht .t Salem. As a rule I do not be tiv in makina- explanations. The finished work is a workman's best ad vocate. "In Columbia County conditions are nn fnnftisfca and so many taise ana ma llcious statements have been circulated tiv mail and by the country press throughout the state, that I feel that a sort of statement of facts may be best at this time. Annul Report Cited. In my annual report for 1914 the Itemized statements show tne conai tion of the Columbia Highway in Co- inmhlst County on November 1. IJH This report accounts for in detail the ofnonrlitura of every dollar that has aiwnt in that county under the supervision of my office. Thirty-four and a half miles of the new road have been started and 2H mileB of high way have been compietea. inejo - odd miles of road have been built 24 feet wide and no tirade has been used in the county that is more than 5 per cent. All culverts are or permanent construction and the work is compar ..!. in rounitn tn those obtained on ha r-niumhia. Hiahway in Multnomah County and on the Pacific Highway in Jackson County. In fact, the work in Columbia County has been done at a less cost per cubic yard of material moved than was secured in either of lie nthpr counties. "The only sore spot on the highway in Columbia County is a section of dry rubble masonry wall wnicn nas Parts of these walls fell on the tracks of the North Bank Railroad tracks, which are parallel to and alongside of the highway for many miles. Contractors Axe Blamed. . "Although much has been said by enemies of the highway concerning the sections of wall that failed, it must be borne in mind that these faulty walla have not cost the taxpayers a dollar. The contracting company consistently refused to build these walls, according to the plans and specifications, and per sisted in continuing the poor wall work notwithstanding the protests of the en gineers in charge. These protests were made to the contractors both verbally and In writing. This is substantiated by carbon copies of the letters written and the entries In the engineers' diaries. "These walls will be rebuilt as soon as the weather is favorable for such work. "The meeting last night before the ways and means committee was in the nature of a star chamber session fath ered by the chairman. Senator Day. No notice of any kind that a meeting was to be held was given to the highway department. From press reports I was informed that complaints would be heard by the committee from the con tractors. I attended tho committee meeting and was surprised to And two members of the recalled County Court of Columbia County", the two contrac tors and their two attorneys present, with a mass of accusations, part facts. False representations and insinuations were presented to the committee in that ' inimitable way that good counsel are paid for doing. , - Appeal Is Denied. "At the conclusion of a two-hour-and-a-half presentation of -the case for the plaintiffs I was asked by Chairman Day whether or not 1 desired to oiler any thing In defense. Feeling the futility of trying to present evidence at a packed meeting without -the "guidance of coun sel. I asked for an opportunity to ap pear before the committee with counsel and prove that the work in. Columbia County was a credit to any highway de partment. This appeal was denied on the ground that the committee was too busy to give up- more time to the matter. "Much has been said, about the dis crepancy between the quantities to be moved as appearing In the notice, to contractors and those shown in my an nual report. In great part the differ ence in totals Is due to the- fact that several sections of the highway were omitted from the list of quantities pub lished in the notice to contractors. These sections were omitted because the existing county road was to be used until more funds were available to build tho highway on the new location in these places. Another reason for the difference in quantities is due to the betterment of the location by line changes during the progress of the work. Tho quantities shown in the state ments in the annual report cover the construction of the entire work be tween termini. Ialt Price Contracts Made. "The fact must not b lost sight of tTiat all our contracts are unit price contracts, therefore the contractor is paid for Just the amount of work he performs. Under this system line betterments may be made and where the quantities are changed the taxpay ers are protected and get the benefit. "The construction of the Columbia Highway was undertaken in the Spring f 1914. There was a clamor for the contracts to be let at once ami the work to start. The 67-mile section from Tide Creek to Astoria was lo cated and work started at the same time that an eglneering organization was commenced. During the same period the Pacific Highway in Jackson County was started. With all new engineers more than 11.500.000 of new work was started and completed in the period of the first year of the depart ment. No excuses are olleredfor the there was considerable opposition to the meas ure. Senator Barrett won an initial victory in the Senate today, when Senate bill 250, abolishing the office of Dairy and Food Commissioner, wa placed on the calendar. The bill was written by Senator Barrett and intro duced by the consolidation committee. the committee on agriculture and lor estry reporting adversely upon it. Senator Barrett objected to the re port on the ground that the measure was in line with the demand tor econ omy. He explained that it transferred the duties of the Dairy and Food Com missioner to the State Board Health and the Department of Animal Industry. Senator Hawley, of the committee on agriculture and forestry, said -there was no argument for the measure. Inasmuch as it would no save the state any money. The dairy Ing industry, he announced, amounted to many millions annually, and should not be crippled. Ho called tho pro posed' action "a radical change" and insisted that the Senate should not consider the bill seriously. Senator Kiddle said he did not be lieve the bill would injure the dairying industry and thought the departments to which the work would be assigned under the measure would be able to take care of it. Senator Vinton said he thought the State Board of Health could take care of its part of the work. Senator Stew art said the committee investigated the bill carefully anl could not see that it would save the state 1 cent. However, the report -was rejected and the bill wss ordered placed on the calendar. SEVEX BILLS KILLED IV SEXATE Miss Tonne and Miss Clarke Botli Lose Measures by Postponement. STATE CAPITOL.

RECIPE 10 CLEAR PIMPLY SKIH SPEAKER SELLING PLEASED Chief Clerk for Past Six Sessions Declares Condition Is Best on Record Friday - Night Adjournment Set. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Feb. 16. (Special.) With three full days ahead of it, the House tonight is in excellent condition to dispose of all its business and adjourn early Friday night. Of the 477 bills that have been introduced only 63 remain on the- cal endar undisposed of and more than one-half of these will not need to be acted upon at all. For instance, there are more than a ' dozen bills from various county delegations providing for increases in the salaries of their respective County Treasurers. Since the Legislature lias restored the tax collecting power to the Sheriff these measures naturally either will be with drawn . or indefinitely postponed. A half dozen other bills remain on th table, where, doubtless, they will die natural deaths. Oosen Await Action Today. The House has only a dozen bills on its calendar for tomorrow. The reg ular morning session will begin at 9 o'clock, so that the business can be cleaned up early in the day. This will give the committees plenty of oppor tunity to consider the Senate bills. "In all my experience I never have seen the House in such good condition as it is in tonight." said W. F. Drager, chief clerk, who has served at six pre vious regular sessions and at two spe cial sessions. Speaker Selling, too. is pleased with the speed and dispatch in which the House has disposed of its work. The House is operating strictly un der the rule that no Senate amend1 ments to House bills will be concurred in until every member has had full op portunity to study the amendments. Experienced House memoers point out that this will prevent undesirable leg islation from creeping on to the statute bocks in the closing hours of the ses- ion. The House today cleaned 20 of its own bills from tne calendar ana also disposed of nearly a dozen benate bills. ACRES "WANTED FOR STATE Resolution Would Have Oregon In tervene in Land-Grant Case. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Feb. 16. (Special.) That the lands may -be saved to Oregon, Senator Cuslck today introduced a resolution providing tnat the Attorney-General be authorized to Intervene on behalf of the state in the suit now pending by the United States Government in the Supreme Court re lating to the forfeiture of the Oregon & California land grant involving more than 2,000,000 acres. It is de clared if the case is decided in favor of the plaintiff the land will revert to the United States, and will be with drawn from taxation by the state. The resolution recites that in IS07 Congress was memorialized by the Legislature of Oregon to take the nec essary action to compel the Oregon & California Railroad to comply with acts of Congress in 1868 and 1869 granting to the predecessor in interest of the company vast tracts of land and renuiring that the lands be sold to actual settlers for not more than $2.50 Pimples Are Impurities Seeking an Outlet Through Skin Pores. Pimples, sores and boils usually re sult from toxins, poisons and impuri ties which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then tho blood uses the skin pores as the next beat means of getting rid of these impuri ties which often break out all over th skin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted autnority, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimu lutes the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of inmurities and clearing the skin of Dimnles. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litliia. Here you have a pleasant,, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and Is excellent for the kidneys as well.

In compliance with the reso lution Congress authorized the bring ing of suit in the United States Court to compel the forfeiture of the lands, which was decided in favor of the Government and an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The Attorney-General is authorized to intervene "in such manner as may be permitted and authorized by the rules of the court for the purpose of Becurlng and protecting the best inter ests of the State of Oregon and Its citizens, and to taka any anT all steps and proceedings which may be neces sary or permissible to safeguard such Interests."

It was decided to refer it to a special committee, to be appointed to revise tho code. Snator Hollis ex plained, that the bill would involve no additional expense to the state and that it had the indorsement of the Credit Men's Association. It provided for the maintenance of the department through the assessment of the insurance com panies. Senator Bingham opposed tne meas ure, declaring that it 'created another office. Senator Dimlck said it was like all other bills creating offices and departments it started out in a com paratively small way, butjt-wouja not be long until appropriations would be asked. "Members of the Credit Men's Asso ciation have Informed me' the bill Is a good one," said Senator Kellaher. "The establishment of the department would minimize risk."
