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

SaaUwck. of Gresham; W. K. Newell,
of IHIley: R. A. Harris, of Portland, and
A. B. Cavender, ofBrownsvIlle.
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

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

time the commission will take, the pro

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." .

The Tillamook and Nehalem Valleys

1n the Northwest for development. A
road into the country would be vastly
profitable to the community and would be
a great success as an investment. The

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

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

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

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.

lowest possible price. That is business. Kow then,
why should you pay from 25 to 100 per cent more for
dental work for yourself and family than you can' get
it done for at this office. Sentimental reasons are the
only ones you can offer. Possibly the dentist you now
patronize may do as good work as I can, but he can't do
any better. ; Probably he doesn't possess either the
