The State Road Commission, annnlnt ad by Governor Cnambcrlain to make taorottga , Investigations and report anon the advisability of employing the prteonerc In the state penitentiary to r aaotruct a macadamized road from Portland to the California line, met 'eater Jay afternoon in the Board of Trade rooms in the Chamber of Com merce building.

In the discussion that took place it was shown that all the members of the cammtsslon were heartily In favor oft the project and that they would work In harmony la the Introduction and sup port of a bill at tho noxt sosslon of the legislature, proviumg ior tnc cm- ployatoAt of the state's criminals In this gigantic road-oonctructlng enter prise. Up to that time the, commission will make a thorough study of the sit uation and work out the details of the (ehome. County Judge Wobster. who was the aathor of the resolution was present hy request of the commission nnd gave a thorough explanation of the project as he believes it should be carried out. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the proposition and thinks that this method rt employing prisoners jvlli be better la evory way tnan the proscnt policy of eelling tholr services to contractors This seems to me thoroughly prac tical, said Judge Wobster, "and I be lleve that a large majority of the poo plo of Orogon will favor such a policy To my mind it will bring about the rraatost Internal lmprovoment that nvgron or any other state ever saw, I bellove that the project to build to the California line Is feasible and that wlthia ten years we shall see this road ontplric: ana not only macadamized iK oiled, thus affording the farmers a perfect highway into Portland. "The plan will receive the support or erganlrcd labor because It will em play the criminal In a work that would not be done In any other way and therefore will not put him in compe iltlen with the labor of tho state as i.nder the present system. It will also tc a great success as a reformatory taoasure. Judge Webster told of the success that had been achieved in road building ay the prisoners of Multnomah County and. Invited the commission to-lrtspect urn -work that . had. been, done.

PREDICTS AN INLAND SEA Engineer SayH Colorado Ttlvor Is I i Fillinc Imperial Valley. DETROIT, Mich.. Sept. 2L Disastrous results from Irrigation in the Imperial Valley. In Southern California, were pre dicted by George . Wiener, of Detroit, an enginoer of National reputation and member of the International Waterways Commiaslon. Mr. Wlsner was speaking before the Detroit Engineering Society. "Within 39 years lhouHUtds of people who have taken up Government lands la the Imperial Valley will be driven out by water, their liomes and fields forming thcN bottom of an immense inland sea, he said. "The caupe of the coming catas trophe is poor engineering in diverting the course ofthe Colorado River for Irri gation purposes. The river has cut into the banks of 1U new course to such an extent that nearly all of the Colorado Riyer flows down into the valley. 'The engineers realize the danger, hut after many frantic efforts have failed to change the river's oourae back to Its old bed. Not for 20 years will the evapora tion ther? be equal to the Inflow Into the valley, lly that time a million aorag of the valley, which is from M ta S feet below sea level, will be covered by an in land sea." .

SAYS ROAD WILL- BE BUILT. Secretary Rclcl Snj's Bonds Will Fur nish the Money. PORTLAND, Sept. 23. 19M. (To the Editor.) As the sudden, failure, without notice, of the Atlas Construe tion Corananv. of San Francisco, to meet its own second monthly payroll due ten days ago (which are not pay- i rolls of the Portland. Nehalem & Tilla- . mook Railway Company), has caused speculatdrs to offer to purchase those contractors "time checks at h cents on the dollar. I write to suggost that the workmen employed by the Atlas Com-: nanv. n'ha ir hstlrfnr.q nf thMI time checks, should accept nothing less than j par value for them, for this reason: That, although the railway company did no employ these workmen nor cause Atlas Company to stop ' work through non-performance of any obli gation Or otherwise, yot long before the Atlas Company's obligations to contractors mature, ample moneys will IM 1 I tSJ l no J El hi I 1 t i 1 i r r5k t i ii ii ifk in urn ON THE BLOCKS TO THE WEST THE be forthcoming from bondholders to meet not only past construction work, which the Atlas Company abandoned -(and hence forfeited), but also for our additional work expected to be re sumed through other contractors.

One of the very Interesting features in connection wl(h the livestock show which is being held at the Exposition. was the part that the Portland Hunt Club members took yesterday after noon. Between 3V and 3ft riders pranced around the showring and it was with considerable difficulty that Judge W II. Dobson, of Marion, la., awarded rib bons te the winners. Three classes were shown and Judge Dobson after he had finished his awards paid a very high compliment to the Portlnnd Hunt Club. "I was not aware." said he. "when I agreed to judge the saddlers that I would have such a difficult task beforo me. These horses are the best lot of saddle horses I nave seen since St Louis, and I must confess that I , have seen horses of less merit and of less class Judged In a showring at Madison MR.

I have seon fewer bad saddlers in so large a field, this aftornoon, than I have met up with in n long time." Judge Dobson was in oarnest when he made these remarks, for he had de liberated and rodellbcrated over the a war da in the first class which was shown. Tho first ribbon in this elase went to T. rfcott Brooks' Joe, Jewett, ridden by Jame3 NIcoI. The second rib bon went to Miss L. Flanders' beauti ful seddler. Jennie Moore, ridden by T. S. McRath. It was a close choice be twfcon Misa Flanders horse and Mr. Brooke's vand the Judge took several long, anxious looks at them both be fore he settled, upon the winner. E. M. Lazarus' Marengo was third. Marengo was porhaps one of the best-known horses In the showring and when a rib bon fell to him. 'there was considerable applause. H. C Campbell's Willa. ridden by John Latta was fourth, and Mrs. A. S. Norton's Paul Jones, ridden by E. Ed Sterling, was fifth. This was in the class 15 hands and over. In the class for 15i hands and under, the first ribbon went to W. C Ti w- rence's Sunday Mack, which was well ridden by Mr. Lawrence himself. The second ribbon went to James Nlcol's Rastus. which was also ridden jby him- I jelf. Henry Metzger's Cricket carried aft third honors.- The fourth ribbon went to James Nlcol's Tom. ridden by Ed Sterling, and the fifth color went to Mr. Wlnslow's Maud, ridden by T. T. Strain. The hunters' class was a fizzle. In the hurry In getting up the show the hurdles were forgotten and just to show that some of the Hunt Club horses could jump, a long piece of board was taken from the grandstand and placed upon some wooden horses. The jump was so wretchedly bad that some of the hunters refused to take It. The horses whieh took the jump were Mrs. F. G. Buffam's Will Wehrung-, rid den by4 James NIcol; Otto Breyraan's Frank, ridden by William Walters; Mr. Laznrue had some trouble In getting Mhrengo to take the jump and so did Joe Muehe. The jumping of Frank, under the skillful handling of Master Walters was" a treat of tho afternoon. Bocatise no special arrangoments had been made for the jumps. Judge Dobson gave each of the riders a ribbon. Miss Howard was tho only woman who ventured in the showring. She rode and' drove Starlight and curried off two first prizes.
