The gentle art of relieving travelers of their bank roll has developed into a science in Los Angeles. "We have the richest county in the Linited States, per capita," says S. w. Adams, manager of the Grand hotel at Walla Walla. "The crops brought J22.000.000 last year and I doubt if there are 50,000 people in the country, Walla Walla needs more houses and stores.

"The road committee Will give i favorable report upon the plan for a $100,000,000 appropriation for sev eral years," reports Ben F. Jones, who has returned from Washington, D: C. "It is possible that the appro priation' may be granted this seeslon of congress, and anyway it will pass at the next session. There are 12 states back of the measure and this means a lot The committee would make a report now, only it is thought best to wait until the end of the ees sion. On my way back I distributed pamphlets about Oregon among tour ists on the trains and most of them had heard about the proposed Roose velt highway. The best argument in Washington for this highway is Its military Importance. That is the strongest talking point -that can be used with the members of congress. When I arrived in Los Angeles on my way home, one of the papers an nounced that the tourist crop now represented 140,000 people and the crop was estimated at J212.000.000.

There fore, the doctor came to Portland to. see what could be done. This is a section of the Oregon and Wash ington highway in Umatilla county and will be a road as heavily traveled as that between Portland and Hills- boro when it is hard surfaced. When W. L. Thompson was on the highway commission he favored a strait route into Weston, which would be on less than a 5-per-cent grade and would eliminate a bad turn.

Because the methods em ployes by Christian Science in heal ing the sick do not happen to agree with the preconceived opinion of a judge' in a police court about how the sick should be treated Is small reason fpr his accusing the Christian Science practitioner and the parents of a deceased! boy of criminal neglect in the care and treatment of the boy who is said to have died of in fluenza. Judge Rossman in dismiss ing the case filed against the prac titioner charging her with failure to report and quarantine a communicable disease. Is reported to have said that, "In his opinion the boy .would not have died if -he had received reason able medical treatment" -.The report then says the judge ' "scored the mother of the boy and the prac titioner." - In. making this statement the Judge is assuming an unenviable' responsi bility. Especially is this true-as no evidence was Introduced to' show neglect in the care of the boy? Such a conclusion in this event could be arrived at only on the assumption that under "reasonable medical treat ment" all similar cases of Influenza recover. But such is not the case. Within a period of little, more than a year, more than 2000 cases have proved fatal under medical treatment in Oregon. In fact Christian Science treatment has proved itself to be many times more successful than has medical treatment in the heading of influenza wherever statistics have been gather ed. As a far example of the relative value of Christian Science treatment in healing influenza, the statistics from California are as follows: In that state during the months from October, 1918, to March, 1919, inclusive, .Christian ' Science prac titioners treated 23,418 cases of In fluenza and pneumonia: Of this num ber 66 cases proved fatal, or about 2 4-5 fatal cases for -each 1000 cases reported. During the same period the fieures compiled by the '. Btate board of health covering 305,856 cases show that of this number 20.904 were fatal. This shows a mortality or t Def 1000 of all cases reported. In other words. Christian Science treat ment in California proved useir to be about 24 times as successful as medical treatment in healing influenza and pneumonia during the epidemic last year.

While Sir Oliver's findings in the occult are Interesting they will be materially discounted from the If act that they transcend the natural, and even extend to the mys tical. Probably this lapse may be charged to heredity, quite possibly his forebears were mystics and thus he is inherently superstitious. Despite this mental blemish he offers little of im port which is not reconcilable with nature.. Analyze his revelation carefully ana it will be seen that bis Investigations, In the main, have been conducted within the terrain of psychology and in its field of memory. It has been proved that the subconscious mind is practically infalllbe. In retaining impressions it registers 100, while the conscious mind registers but 3S. Does not this account for clairvoyance of mediums, while Influenced by trance ubconsciousness? The creatures or the trance dreams are not creations: thev are but memories, recollections, thinkB called back by the omniscience of the subconscious mind. . Lastly, if Sir Oliver desires to hold s own amontr scientists, then he had better keep his oot on the ground. There's a sly llttls brook that runs a Way Through the shady Woods, like a child at play, . Skipping o'er rocks that are red and brown.

If only sometime when the night winds blow. Quite silently there we could quickly go And pausing to listen beneath the trees Could harken to voices of brook and breeze, We might grasp the language to strangely sweet, i And the secrets they tell when at dusk they meet; Might learn of the trails tha)tthe wood-nymphs take When gathering moonbeams a scarf to make. There are wonderful tones in the musical creak. I've . searched my brain when I've heard it speak. For language expressive of what it telis. As it darts through the woodland and fern-lined dells; Is it a sermon, a sonnet, or song. From a mystio land, as it glides along! Sometimes It's a discourse on Na ture's scheme.

Writer -Speaks In Their Behalf Regards Government Aid. PORTLAND, March 4. (To the Editor.) I am writing In the Interest of the soldier relief fund. As you know the government through its agents, promulgated the idea that the man in the shipyard, or getting out spruce, or making khaki or working in any one of the essential industries producing war material, was as much an absolute necessity as the man in the trenches, or encamped on the fir ing line. I will not combat the truth of this statement at least there Is some truth In it and my pacifist neighbors and acquaintances hugged themselves because of It, and with the department's permission and ad vice, brazenly displayed the star which we "daddies" of the boys "over there" fondly believed our righteous Insignia ours and ours only. Well, "the war is over" "tbe fight is won," to quote the Scotch min strel. The men who stayed home, and drew their J6 to J10 a day dur ing those three gruelling years, ars on the high road to fortune, some are already there. The boys who have returned from overseas are miking strenuous efforts to readjust them selves to the changed conditions they find here. None of these are yet on the high road to fortune. They are rich only in experience. Gold they have none. Of automobiles possessed by the poorest of their former chums. whom they left at home working in the "essential industries," alas, they have none. It has been said so often as to be regarded as a truism, that the ex perience gained by our boys who went to war would be Invaluable to them in after life.' I know this experience can be made so: And that is a suf ficient reason why our lawmakers are perfectly justified In 'furnishing capital to be guided and lined by this experience. Not only will the mar ket values of present government obligations, not decrease, as predicted by representative Garner, democrat, Texas, but the passage of a just nay, a generous relief bill, will have a stabilizing effect on all securities, government, state' or municipal. It will furnish pr-of that at least one republic is not ungrateful. EDWARD McLERNON. In Other Dayi. 'Twenty-five Years Asa. From The Oregonian of Msrch 6. 1 '.

A FEW MILLION YEARS AGO. Anyway considerably before we can clearly remember, there roamed across the wilderness of America a giant dinosaur. He was so big an automobile could have driven between his legs. Only there weren't any automo biles. Science declares he measured 178 feet from nose to tail. One day he got tired and lay down in the Utah desert and died. His bones, now just being unearthed, comprise the greatest dis covery of the kind in history.
