front road, the 11-mile section of
the Pacific Highway in Whatcom and
Skagit counties, distinguished, as the
only portion of this highway in. the
Korthwest along tidewater, will soon

Of even greater importance than the
dedication of the stretch of highway
was announcement of the gift of the
lats Charles X. Larrabee, of Bellingham,
a 20-acre park, three miles south of
Tiellinrham. on-the highway. This park
has been accepted on behalf of the
fttate by Governor Lister, to whom Mr.

promised the land. The capitalist's
widow carried out the wishes of her
husband in this matter.

tute the first of a series of state parks
to be established at appropriate inter
vals, along the routes of all state high
ways. Negotiations with other public

from Blanchard to South Bellingham.
at ail points commands a view of Puget
Sound from varying heights, being
built above the interurban and Great
Northern rights of way. Concrete em
bankments and half-bridges are .prom
inent features of construction, and elab
orate precautions have been taken -at
turns to prevent accidents. The road
Is-at no point narrower than 20 feet;
and is gravel surfaced.
Tills History of the Waterfront road
has been a checkered one. The first
road was built 25 years ago by What
com and Skagit counties, but was de
stroyed when the Great Northern was
built in 1893. Skagit County Commis
sioners having been charged at that
time, by former Highway Commissioner
now, with "selling out to the rail
road. ...
History Is Checkered.
In 1903 the Washington Legislature
appropria.ea 25.0O0, which was ex
pended with convict labor, with little
or no results. In 1913 the highway de
partment started work with $60,000
from the Pacific Highway funds. Gov
ernor Lister became dissatisfied with
the survey upon which Highway Com
missioner W. J. Roberts proposed to
work, and a resurvey was ordered. The

DEFENSE DINNER SET
Chamber to Discuss Coast
Military Highway Tuesday.
BILL GIVING PLAN IS AIM
Senator Chamberlain Is Suggested as
Medium of Introducing Leglsla
'"tlonat Next Session of Con
gress Roads Congress Aids. -
When the Navy League-Chamber of
Commerce dinner is set in motion at
the Commercial' Club building- next
Tuesday night, one of the important
problems concerning preparedness for
defense of the United States will be
the proposal t , construct a military
highway parallel with the Pacific
Ocean.
As now thought the road will be
built by Congressional . appropriation,
and it is probable that a bill outlining
the plan will be submitted to the next
Congress.
Some leading citizens propose that
the bill be offered by Senator tieorge
E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, and it is
believed that it will have the unani
mous support of members from the
West.
Read Congress Indorses Plan.
The construction of the highway was
indorsed by the International Good
Roads Conferees at San Francisco. Sam
uel Hill presented the resolutions and
had the- satisfaction of winning the
support of Eastern delegates as soon
as they understood the importance of
the roadway.
It has been pointed out that it would
be impossible for the single-track rail
roads of the Pacific Coast to handle
large bodies of troops and the muni
tions that would be required to defend
the Pacific Coast. It is said that if
the -railroads could handle the troop
trains they could not deliver them to
points on the Coast line where at
tacks might be expected. Friends of
the highway urge that a more mobile
handling of. troops would be had
through the construction of the high
way and the use of automobiles.
Boundaries Proposed. Terminals. .
It is proposed to construct the high
way a short distance back of the Coast
line. Its northern terminal would be
at the Canadian line and its southern
end at Mexico.
No estimate of the cost of the project
has been attempted.
"When the Portland Chamber of
Commerce proposed the construction of
the military highway, some five years
ago. lt was Indorsed by many business
organizations of the Pacific Coast,
largely because lt was to be located
out hero, and would bring employment
Castle Rock Road Surveyed.
County Engineer R. C. Westwick and
a party of surveyors have been busy
the past few days locating a feasible
road up Green River from its conflu
ence with the Toutle River to Soda
springs ana ine property or uiu i-ns-
to many men and the expenditure of
large sums of money among local con
cerns." said John McNulty, Oregon sec
retary for'the Navy League.
"But the big thing would be its value
for defensive purposes, not the dollars
it would cause to be spent here."
Much interest is manifested in the
defense dinner for Tuesday night. The
speakers will include Judge Thomas
Burke, of Seattle.
cadia Mining & Development Company.
The survey is being made at the 're
quest of the mining company, which
agrees to build a highway if the coun
ty will establish the route. If the
road is opened up the company will
team ore from the mine to Castle Rock
for shipment.

last night to his class the difference
between certain words which are pro

He began by illustrating with "peace"
and "piece."
"Peace." he said, "means quiet. Now
if everything were quiet in Europe
that would mean that they would have
peace. Quiet is good."
"You say quiet- is good, teacher?"
queried one . of the class, of Hebrew
origin.
"Yes. responded Mr. Lerner.
"Well. then, if I say that business is
quiet, is that good?"

MEAT CAUSE OF
LAME BACK AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts to Flash
Kidneys if Your Back
Is Aching.
Noted Authority Says Uric Add
From Meat Irritates
the Bladder.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys Jn their ef
forts to filter it trom the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the acids, wastes and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid- i
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue Is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of.
sediment: the channels often get irri
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with llthia. and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish . kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is in
expensive; harmless and makes a de
lightful effervescent llthia-water drink
which millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding serious
kidney and bladder diseases. Adv.
