with folding seats and two-piece take

canvas bag Into which it fits, is 50
pounds. -
The boat can be packed easily and
can be taken any place where a horse
can go. It might be packed by a man
for some distance. The whole outfit
when packed Is only 4 feet long and
10 Inches in diameter. It is possible
that other boats will be acquired by the

BOND ISSUE CHAMPIONED
Selection of Engineer to Be First
Problem Before Commission, but
Portland Member Waits for
Views of Others First.
S. Benson, one of the newly appointed
members of the State Highway Commis
sion, returned to his home here yester-
NIGHT OFF AT BAKER THEATER
day from a month's absence in Cali
fornia and promptly plunged into the
mass of work that the office has im
posed upon him.
Although the position carries no
salary, Mr. Benson is prepared to give
most of his time to the work all of It,
If necessary.
, As a firm believer in the cause of
good roads hla reputation already Is
established. As a member of the com
mission he will be In position to give
the state the benefit of his experience
and of his deep interest in the work.
Within the next few days, probably
early this week, Mr. Benson will meet
with the other members of the com
mission W. L. Thompson, of Pendleton,
and E. J. Adams, of Eugene. It is
probable that the commission will ef
fect a permanent organization as soon
as it gets together.
Engineer Must Be Selected.
One of its first important duties will
be the selection of a highway engineer
as provided by the new road code en
acted by the recent Legislature.
Although Mr. Benson already has re-
ceived a number of applications for the j
place he proposes to go slow. lie will
not even consider the appointment until
he meets with the other commissioners.
It really is superfluous for anyone
with Mr. Benson's well known posi
tion on the road question to make any
formal declaration in favor of the
$6,000,000 bond issue to be voted upon
by the people at the special election on
June 4, but he says that the merits of

this measure cannot be too thoroughly
Impressed upon the public.
"As a member of the commission,"
said Mr. Benson yesterday, "It will be
my object to see that the funds at its
disposal are economically, honestly and
efficiently expended that a dollar's
worth of road be constructed for every
dollar spent.
"I have but today returned and I am
already asked by some anxious friends
of good roads as to my specific plans
for road construction in various parts
of Oregon. I have no pre-determlned
plan further than I have already indi
cated. "I am not ' prejudiced for or against

any section of Oregon, or for or against
any highway, and I do not propose be
fore the commission is organized and
has an opportunity to determine whom
to begin its work and how it shall be
done, to commit myself to any project
wnatsoever.
Haste to lie Avoided.
Undoubtedly, it will be the commis
sion's purpose to go impartially into
the whole situation and to ascertain
upon what highways we shall begin our
public service, but in any event, speak
ing for myself and reflecting. I believe,
the views of the commission as a whole,
we shall not act hastily and not at all
until we have a fairly clear idea as to
our general road policy.
it will be Important, of course, in
determining our action and its scope to
ascertain whether the people are to
vote the proposed bonds. If they do we
snail nave an ascertained basis for ac
tion. If they do not we shall be obliged
to govern ourselves accordingly.
"I have no hesitation in saying that I
think that the bonds ought to be voted.
I have had occasion to examine the
bonding act passed by the Legislature
ana meets my approval. It seems to
me to have been wisely and fairly de
vised. It certainly will be a great sat
isfactlon to me if the commission will
be able to arrange its plans to. accord

with the road outline contained in this'
bonding act.
"I purpose to devote as much time as
need be to public service as Highway
Commissioner. That means probably
the greater part of my time, perhaps
all of it. If all of it is needed I shall
give It ungrudgingly. I am grateful to
the Governor for this mark of his favor
and confidence. . I shall do my best to
merit it.
"My interest in good roads emanates
from the firm conviction and belief that
this is the most important form of de
velopment affecting the people of Ore
gon. There Is nothing before the peo
ple that will do more for the progress,
advancement and prosperity of the
state.

will oftlmes suffer misery and want in
a city rather than Isolation in the coun
try. Educationally It makes the at
tendance of school a pleasure instead of
a hardship and the percentage of Illit

are improved.
Succens of Bonds Expected.
"I sincerely hope for the success of
the bonding proposition to be voted on
June 4. . It does not Involve extra tax
and will be cared for by those who have
most use for roads the automobiles.
By its provisions It provides funds that
will go far to solve a most difficult
problem and every part of the, state will
participate in Its benefits.
"Every state on tne .faciric i;oast nas
taken up the improvement of its roads.
California has been foremost in the
movement and has provided for a fur
ther extension of its fine system of
highways. Washington has even gone
further and appropriated approximately
J2.000.000 per annum to b spent on its
highways. Idaho has fallen into line
and a bond issue is about to be sub
mitted for road improvement. It is
necessary for Oregon to keep e breast of
her sister states and when the tacts are
placed before the people I have no fear
of the result."

' There is nothing so necessary to a
child's health and comfort as regularity

and any overstrain of the sensitive or

for much of the illness of childhood.
To relieve constipation a mild laxa

be rendered more alkaline, the longer
we live. With regular hours, 6 to 8
glasses of water between meals, sen
sible coarse food and a chance to get
the poisons out of the system, a man

fortunately, our highly nervous way
of living brings increased storage of

Get rid of this uric acid poison by
taking a harmless medicine called
Anurio, which throws out the urio
