over to the testing of various types of
pavement the cement contractors are
the only ones who have protested
against damage done to the surface,
contending Its disintegration was the
result of unnatural causes, and yet the
other pavements were subjected to ex
actly the same conditions without caus
ing injury. In no instance has the
County of Multnomah been called upon
to maintain a highway paved with
bitulithic, even when only a moral
bllgatlon " was involved.
I hope the Oswego cement plant will
prove an unqualified suocobb, and that
others in the state will be encouraged.
Cement has many uses. The greatest
hue and cry is raised against a paving
trust by a pavings trust that does not
get the Job. This was strikingly dem
onstrated recently when the same ce
ment promoters did everything in their
power to carry a bond Issue in Sno

Series on "Better Foods-Better
Homes" Is Brought to Close Witli
Expressions ot Benefits From
Prominent Workers.
A large attendance, many interesting
features and sincere expressions of ap
preciation characterized the last of the
series of "Better Food, Better Homes"
lectures given in the Eleventh-street
playhouse by Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn.
The cooking school and lectures, held
all this past week, attracted, thousands
of women in Portland and the near-by
town 8. Mrs. Vaughn had been here
about a year and a half ago. and it
was at the request of many who had
heard her before that tho return series
WS-S planned.
At the close of Mrs. Vaughn's talk
yesterday she gave away her gas range
and kitchen cabinet. The former went
to Mrs. Mildred Baker, of 234 North
Nineteenth street, and the latter to
Mrs. E. Condon. 284 Poplar street. Sev.
eral of the women took cakes they had
baked and Mrs. Vaughn gave a special
lesson in lclmg.
Appreciation Is Expressed.
In her little closing message Mrs.
Vaughn said: "I appreciate very much
the attendance of, so many women at
these lectures. I feel that my message
to you has not been wasted. "We have
enjoyed each other. TVe have been mu
tually helpful and happy."
Sincere expressions of appreciation,
for the cooking school conducted by
The Oregonian in the Eleventh-street
playhouse last week were given by
scores of prominent women at the
close of the last of Mrs. Vaughn's lec
tures yesterday.
All who attended declared that the
school had been helpful, interesting, en
tertaining and profitable. "Had we
paid 50 cents for each lecture, we still
would have been indebted to Mrs.
Vaughn and the people who planned, the
school," said one woman.
Mrs. Kaniler Expresses Opinion.
Mrs. Jacob Kanzler, mother of Ore-
iron's 100-O-nolnt perfect baby, said:
have gained much of value, from the
lectures. They were a treat, and an
inspiration."
Mrs. J. E. Rand, of the Congress of
Mothers, declared that the lectures
were as good as the recipes, and the
whole thing was most helpful. "Mrs
Vaughn is tho best lecturer I have ever
heard and her recipes are so practical.
She advises us to use good ingredients.
I hope we who have heard her will be
able to do as she has urged. This
was what Mrs. Rand said.
Mrs. E. J. Vennewitz, of Vernon Im
provement Association, said: "Every
woman who did. not attend the lectures
missed a treat. They were splendid.
The publio should be grateful for the
opportunity it has had.
Prominent Matrons Attend.
Mrs. J. H. Joyce, wife of the pro.
TTietor of the Hazlewood, with Mrs.
E. B. Morrison and Mrs. E. M. Rhodes.
two prominent matrons, attended every
session. They said: TVe enjoyed th
lectures and practical suggestions mare
than we can say. It was all Inspiring.
Mrs. P. F. Gunster. wife of Ir. Gun
filer, declared the lectures had been
"most helpful and interesting."
Mrs. R. E. Bristow, president of th
Florence Crittenton Home, aald:
wish all young women could have heard
Mrs. Vaughn. The lectures were cer
tainly good and the school was a, sue
cess.
The officers of th Lavender Club,
who attended in a body and had seats
of honor on, Friday, all declared the
cooking school helpful to both oldi and
young housewives.
Mrs. Percy W. Lewis, president of th
Monday Musical Club, gave repeated

good work done by the cooking school
and by Mrs. Vaughn.

ment was favored, and violently op
posed a bond issue in Umatilla County
where sentiment seemed to favor bitu
lithic.
My sole and only interest In the im
provement of the roads Is the progress,
development and advancement of the
state. Oregon, with Its matchless re
sources, limitless opportunities and un
bounded possibilities, should be the
foremost of the Pacific Coast states,
and, to my mind, the most Important
factor to bring- about this result is
the improvement of its highways, but
the tactics adopted by Mr. Moore not
only tend to retard this form of de
velopment, but discourage those who
are willing to give it their moral and
financial encouragement and support.

Attorney Tomllnson explained that

SEVERAL SPEAKERS HEARD
MARSHFIELD NEWSPAPER PAYS TRIBUTE TO SOLDIER AND
SAILOR DEAD.
PAVING ERRORS CORRECTED
S. Benson Says Aman Moore's State
ments Are Incorrect.
PORTLAND. June S. (To the Edl
tor.) A series of articles, misleading
in intent. Inaccurate in statement and
at absolute variance with facta, regard
ing the paving of the highways of
Multnomah County, are being pub
lished by Aman Moore, a promoter
the Oswego Cement Works.
- These articles refleot on the honesty,
integrity and business Judgment of the
county officials, civic organizations and
citizens of the county who recom
mended the type of pavement used on
a large percentage of the county's
thoroughfares. While the articles are
not taken seriously In Multnomah
County, the publication of them In the
country districts where no opportunity
offers to become familiar with the facts
will create an erroneous Impression,
and to correct this prompts this com
munication. Instead of the whole amount of the
bond issue as stated in one of the ar
ticles amounting to $1,250,000. but $747,
360 was appropriated for bitulithic. a
two-Inch wearing surface, the lowest
price ever heretofore paid. The profits
or "royalty" on this is practically ab
sorbed by the maintenance In Portland
by the Warren company of a large
office force and an extensive laboratory
and a number of skilled, experienced
workers during a long period of. the
year, when this character of work is
impossible, and the cost of maintenance
for a period of 10 years required by the
county.
The paving of 60 miles was done by
five separate companies, all home concerns-.
One of the contractors con
tended that he had completed his con
tract on one section at a loss.
About 10 miles was paved with ce
ment at a oost of $174,384. If. as con
tended, cement Is manufactured for 80
cents per barrel, and the selling price
fixed at $1.80 per barrel, the profits of
the cement people can be easily determined.
Bitulithio was adopted after a search
ing, careful and Impartial investigation
by the county officials, representative
citizens and committees from various
clvlo organizations, all of whom had
but one single object In view, namely,
to obtain a pavement the most suitable
and best for the roads, and to receive
the most value for the money spent.
After a year of experience, during
which the roads were subjected to un-
precedentedly heavy traffic and the test
of a Winter of utmost severity, the
unanimous opinion is that the choice
made was wise and Judicious.
It Is Impossible to determine the
profits of the companies laying the
pavements until the expiration of the
maintenance period of 10 years, for
which adequate security was given.
One f act. remains, that, on at road, dvan

SIOMMEST PRESENTED TO VETERAN S.
MARSHFIELD, Or June 3. (Special.) During the Decoration day
observances here last Tuesday a monument to the soldier and sailor
dead was presented to the Sons of Veterans and the Grand Army
of the Republic by the Marsnfield Evening Record, following the
parade and ceremonies.
The parade waa led by the Evening Record fife and drum corps of
22 pieces.
The monument is erected in the Oddfellows Cemetery, where there
are many unmarked graves of soldiers and sailors of the Civil War.
The cannon and shot were donated by the Government and the dedi
cation was made in 1915, although the monument was not then fin
ished. One side of the monument has a bronze tablet with this in
scription: "Dedicated to the memory of the soldiers and sailor dead by
the Evening Record." The plot surrounding the monument is seeded
and well kept. The cannon ball at the top of the structure is 17 feet
from the base.

Circuit Judge Henry E. McGinn does

of John Jacob Moli to compel Com
