CONSCRIPTION IS FAVORED Colonel Is of Opinion, However, De lay Would Bo Too Long Before United States Flag Appears on French Battle Line. WASHIXGTO, April 15. Colonel Roosevelt, in letters today to Senator Chamberlain and Representative Dent, chairman of the congressional military committees, detailed his plans for rais ing and accompanying a volunteer ex pedition to Join the allies on the West ern European battle front. Ho heartily approved the Administration's compul sory service programme for providing a war army but insisted that volunteers couli be put on the firing line in four months and that the American flag should be there at the earliest possible moment. When here last week Colonel Roose velt saw the military committee chair man after his conference with Presi dent Wilson, and they asked him to submit his views in writing. "I most earnestly and heartily sup port the administration bill for provid ing an army raised on the principle of universal obligatory military training and service," said his letter. Long; Delay Forecast. "But of course a great system of this kind, a system entirely new in this country, cannot be immediately Inaug urated. Many months, probably at least a year or over, must elapse before the army thus raised would be available for use in Europe. "Meanwhile let us use volunteer forces in connection with a portion of the Regular Army in order at the earliest possible moment, within a few months, to put our flag on the firing line. We owe this to humanity. We owe it to the small nations who have suffered such dreadful wrongs from Germany. Most of all, we owe it to ourselves, to our National honor and self-respect. For the sake of our own souls, for the sake of the memories of the great Americans of the past, we must show that we do not Intend to make this merely a dollar war. Let us pay with our bodies of our souls' de sire. Let us. without one hour's un necessary delay, put the American flag on the battlefront in this great world war for democracy and civilization and for the reign of justice and fair deal ing among the nations of mankind." Amendment Iff Proposed. The Colonel said he did not seek to have the volunteer system interfere with or substitute for the obligatory plan, but that except in certain except ed cases the volunteers should be com posed of men who would not be taken under obligatory service. He proposed an amendment to the act of March 2, 1899, providing for the raising of 35,000 volunteers, so as to authorize the pres ident to raise a force of not more than 100,000 (or 200.000 to 600,000 later) for three years or the duration of the war. "Under this act," the letter continued. "I should ask leave to raise, for imme diate service overseas with the first ex peditionary force, an infantry division of three three-regiment brigades and one divisional brigade of cavalry, to gether with an artillery brlga'de, a reg iment of engineers, a motorcycle ma chine gun regiment, an aero squadron, a signal corps, the supply service, etc. I should request the War Department for the detail of say two officers for every thousand men. I believe that, acting under the direction and with the aid of the Department, I could raise the division and have it ready to begin shipment to France in two or three me ths. My idea would be to have th- Intensive training in gas work, bomb throwing, bayonet fighting and trench work given in France. They would then be sent into the trenches when they were thoroughly prepared." en Dan urcoro cited. Colonel Roosevelt referred to his service in Cuba and concluded: "The regiment with which I first served as Lieutenant-Colonel, and which 1 afterwards commanded as Colonel, was raised, equipped, drilled, mounted, dismounted, kept two weeks on a trans port and put through two victorious aggressive fights in which It lost a third of the officers and a fifth of the men within 60 days all told." conducted by Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo, assisted by the Federal Reserve Board, with the governor of the Bank of England and M.

KELSO, Wash., April 15. (Special.) The Inman-Poulsen Logging Com pany, operating west of Kelso, received a consignment of 30 tons of steel cable for use in the logging woods last week. This cab.e is worth about S13.000 at the present market price, according to Manager J. D. Young, of the log ging company. Continued cold weather and rain Is greatly Hampering logging, Mr Young says, and none of the log ging concerns in this section is able BY ADDISON BENNETT. WASCO. April 15. (Special.) On the morning of April 9 a train of three cars left Portland over the O-W. R. & N. R R on what the officials of that road called a food preparedness campaign. This train was run in conjunction and with the co-operation of the O. A. C, the railway furnishing the train and the college the exhibits, lecturers and demonstrators. The subjects kept in the foreground were as follows: Veg etable growing, poultry raising, food preparation, home canning and conser vation of food. The train consisted of three cars: The private car of Traffic Manager Robinson, a large day coach fitted up as an audience room, with all of the paraphernalia for demonstrations in canning, and a baggage car fitted up as an exhibition room. In this were all sorts of exhibits of growing plants. poultry-houses and foods, and such other things pertaining to thereto as could well be packed Into a small space. Charts Show Values. But perhaps the most enlightening of the exhibits, which took up nearly an or tne wall space In both of these cars, were the charts displayed. These as a rule came from the Agricultural Department at Washington and told of the relative values and costs of va rious foods for the human family and the same for poultry. Some of them also told of the food waste of the United States, which the department estimates at 1700,000,000 per year. The personnel of the party at the start was as follows: Railroad people; F. W. Robinson, traffic manager; Wil liam McMurray, general passenger agent; J. H. O'Neill, traveling passen ger agent. From O. A. C. were the following: R. D. Hetzel, director of ex tension; H. A. Vickers, secretary: A. G. B. Bouquet, professor of vegetable gar dening; Miss Grace Johnson, professor of home economics; Miss Helen Cow gill, assistant club leader; C. C. Lamb, extension poultryman; H. A. Vickers, extension secretary. In addition to these t.as the correspondent of The Or egonlan. It should be said that there have been some changes in the person nel since leaving. Professor Hetzel was called away by the Secretary of Agri culture to attend a meeting of all the extension managers of the West, and Mr. O'Neill was compelled to return to Portland owing to Illness. The former was replaced by Mr. Vickers and the latter by H. W. Hicks, traveling pas senger agent. . I am not going to dwell upon the ex ercises at each stop, for they were of a similar nature each day. But It must be said that the lecturers were as good as can be had from any school or col lege in the land. Indeed Professor Het zel has a national reputation, and for gardening there is no better instructor in any country than Professor Bouquet. Professor Lamb is in under Professor Dryden, and his department has mads the best poultry record made by any college In the United States. Speakers Hold Attention Misses Cowgill and Johnson are very entertaining ' speakers and have the faculty of ingratiating themselves with their audiences in a way to keep the closest attention of every hearer. The meetings as a rule were divided be tween the lecture car and halls and school houses; but no matter how small or how large the audience room there was at every meeting a large attend ance and all of the speakers were close ly followed. But Mies Cowgill and Miss Johnson were-always so entertaining in their remarks that it is quite sure their lessons have sunk deep in every heart. Perhaps it is out of place to say it, but I cannot conscientiously pass up the thought that the canning demon strations of Miss Cowgill have been the part of the work that promise the most and best results. This lady in her smiling, gentle yet forceful way. talk ing and laboring at the same time (but always smiling) made a deep impres sion at every meeting at which she of ficiated. Certainly the college offici als will do well to have her in some manner continue her demonstrations in every portion of the state. Our first stop was at Hood River, where the audiences were large and the interest keen. But the best work there was the organization of a com mittee which will continue the cam paign In its every phase, but more par ticularly that as to planting the back yards and vacant lots in the city. Local Committees Formed. I can shorten this article materially by saying that from Hood River on to Wasco this phase of the work has been closely followed. The campaign of itself may not produce great re sults, but the work being done from the train is only the beginning. It will be followed up In every county we have been in. Everywhere the very best people have been selected for these committees, and in every county there la bound to be taken more in terest in gardening and poultry rais ing than ever before, and if there is not less food wasted and more products canned, then the attention given to the words and works of Misses Cow gill and Johnson was not what it seemed. Just a few words as to the sections we have visited. Hood River perhaps should be overlooked, for that city keeps always in the public eye. But the place and the people refuse to be overlooked! They are not that sort of people. It is not that kind of a city. Well. Hood River never looked better, never was in better shape, the people were never in better financial condition than now. The place is not growing by leaps and bounds, but sub stantially, permanently and steadily. One who has not been In the place for, say 18 months, would scarcely recognize the city now. The Dalles Is Improved. The second stop was at The Dalles. This solid old city is improving won derfully. I had not been there for almost two years. So I found a new courthouse (and all paid for), a new Federal building, various other new structures and a number under way. I talked with the largest business men, with the bankers and with the newspaper men, and all are of one ac cord that with the great canning in dustry centering there and with the great fertility and area of their lands. The Dalles is sure to go on with a rapid growth. Few people remember the old The Dalles, when the passage of trains through the street of the town showed about the gloomiest outlook that any railroad had at any place in the United States. Now the depot, the depot grounds and the surroundings are as attractive as any city need ssk for. The fills made by the, O.-W. R. & N. Company practically created a new The Dalles. As to Bend, the capital of the new County of Deschutes, it, like Hood River, gets In at the top o' the news columns almost every morning. Well. I guess they deserve it. Bend is grow ing mon rapidly than ctiy city in the state, the start beginning a couple of years ago. I mean the date of the sec ond growth, for Bend has had as many booms as a cat has lives. Bend G rowing: Rapidly. I used to think the Bend people were the derndest lot of dreamers I ever knew or heard of; but their dreams have all come true and then some. For the last two years the Bend peo ple have put up on an average I guess about three buildings again, ranging from the little one-room affairs up to great office buildings, marble banks and fine hotels. And- the population has grown from a few hundred to how many? Twenty thousand? I don t know. But I do know it is more of a city, does more business and carrl-s more city airs than some 20,000 cities I could mention. And a word about the new county affairs. In the campaign it was said the new county seat would cost the people so much that it would bankrupt some of them. Rats! There is not a better conducted or more economical county government in Oregon than Deschutes County has. And they are going to keep on so if you understand what that means. From Bend we took In Redmond, which Is also In Deschutes County. I have always fancied Redmond, have always believed it would become one of the model little cities of Oregon. I do not for the life of me see how it can fail in being a gem of a city. It lies in the very heart of as fine a farming section as lies outdoors. Of course you have got to consider the altitude. You couldn't get rich growing figs there. But for the prod ucts suited to an altitude of 2500 feet the country adjacent to Redmond on all sides is practically Ideal; for clover and alslke, alfalfa and root crops there Is none better. The dairy cow and the hog are going to make Redmond famous, saying nothing about the Red mond potatoes. As we were approaching the city Mrs. Robinson, the wife of Traffic Manager Robinson, who had come up to see a part of the state new to her, asked her husband If Redmond was not the place where they got their potatoes every Fall and from where they were regularly supplied with their butter. He replied it was. Then Mrs. Robinson went on to say that they have the finest butter always of any people , in Portland, and their po tatoes are better than the best. "Wasco New City. Here we are at Wasco. And we find a fine little city in place of the late lamented village. Wasco is all new to me, for I have not been here be fore for two years. Brother Snyder, of the Enterprise, says it is a cold day when he does not see a farmer going out home in a brand-new automobile.- The farmers in this vicinity are about as prosperous as those of any section of Oregon. The city has dozens of buildings, mostly brick, one or two of them, like the McCoy store, very large. There are two banks filled wKh the farmers' money; the most sightly and one of the most beauti ful school buildings in the West is on the ground to the southeast, looking more like a state capitol than like a schoolhouse; the streets are In fine condition, as also the walks I tell you Wasco has put her Sunday clothes on and has a pocketbook full of cash in her pocket. One word as to the outlook: In all sections we have passed through there are fine prospects for good crops, es pecially about Wasco. Aside from that. everybody is filled with patriotism and will take home the lessons of this preparedness campaign. One thing has been brought home to i the car shortage. On the branch here as far as Wasco, and on the two roads up the Deschutes, there are well over 200 carloads of wheat awaiting cars. The warehouses are overflow ing, the platforms filled and pile upon pile on the adjacent ground. HUBBARD HAS BIG RALLY Governor in Patriotic Address Urges Need of Good Roads. HUBBARD, Or., April 15. (Special.) The Hubbard public schools and Parent-Teacher Association held a big patriotic rally and Arbor-day exercises Friday. tne citizens or tne entire countryside joined in the event, and spread a big dinner in the lunchrooms of the new building. The business houses all closed during the exercises. The afternoon programme consisted of nag drills, marching, patriotic songs, music by the Hubbard band and an ad dress by Governor Withycombe. Dur ing the course of remarks the Gover nor urged every man, woman and child to grow more foodstuffs, -more cattle and more good 'horses. He said our country was facing a horse famine. He also urged that every farmer support the road bond measure, because the farmer would benefit, while the auto mobile owner would pay for the roads in increased licenses. Professor J. B. Homer, of Oregon Agricultural College, delivered an illus trated lecture in the evening. SIUSLAW MAY GET YARDS E. S. Smith Says Shipbuilding Harbor Is Considered. in EUGENE. Or., April 15. (Special.) The Siuslaw harbor will be Investi gated as a shipbuilding site, according to Earl Stanley fomith, of Eugene, who says he was so informed by Theodore Brent, vice-chairman of the United States Shipping Bureau. Mr. Brent while at Marshfleld gave instructions to lay out 12 ways for the building of ships in that harbor, ac cording to Mr. Smith. Value Citrus to Be Planted in Oregon. EUGENE. Or., April 15. (Special.) W. A. Ledbetter, formerly of California, who recently purchased property in Eugene, plans to experiment with cit rus fruit in Oregon. He has received a shipment of grapefruit trees. Eureka lemon . trees and Washington navel orange trees. Mr. Ledbetter, a nursery man, believes that citrus can be grown in this climate, if proper varieties are used. "OR our due in dollars, the customer receives his due in clothing. No disparity between the two. Both equal. Bothalike. That, in a few words, is our conception of clothing value. All noisy claims to the con trary, it isn't necessary to excel the American dollar in value to achieve retail distinction. An honest merchant knows he does a rare thing when he equals it. A dollar must be as good on the inside as it is on the outside. So must the suit. As it seems to us, there is just as much wrong in giving a counterfeit suit for a good dollar as it is to get a good suit for a counterfeit dollar. Our clothing comes from such concerns as A. B.

J. Adams, member of the State Highway Commission. He has compiled a table that provides for the amortiza tion of the bonds in future years so that not only will they be liquidated but a generous surplus will be left over. He estimates that by 1944 the $6,000,- 000 bond issue, with Interest of $3,720,- frOO. will have been paid off. besides leaving a surplus on hand of $3,961,086. all through application of the state's revenue from automobile licenses to this debt. Computmt loa la Interesting Mr. Adams computation is interest ing and is, he says, based upon the most conservative calculations. He says, for example, that the number of automobiles In this state has increased as much as 33 per cent each year since 1911. However, to be entirely safe, Mr. Adams estimates the greatest gain in future at 20 per cent, which he applies to the years 1919. 1920 and 1921. For the three following years, he estimates the gain in the number of autos will be only 10 per cent, and after 1924 he does not figure any gain at all in auto li cense revenues. But suppose, says Mr. Adams, that at some future time, for a reason that cannot now be known or foreseen, the Legislature should declare against any tax on automobiles. In that event, the revenue Mr. Adams counts upon would be cut off, but he has another plan for use In that emergency. Assessments Are Suggested The bonds, both principal and inter est, would be paid off by tax assess ments ranging from .045 to .6 of 1 mill or from 414c to 60c on $1000of assess ed value. On the. present assessed values, the Interest charge alone would Women who bear children and remain healthy are those- who pre pare their systems in advance of baby's coming-.
