Main trunk highways should he
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. In the opinion of John B.
Yeon, and secondary roads should be
held in abeyance until the through
lines are finished. Pavement should
be latd next spring on contracts let
this fall. Mr. Yeon returned yes
terday from a 1500-mile automobile
tour in Washington and Is more con
vinced than ever tnat Oregon's road
programme is on the right track.
"They are capitalizing their scenery
in Washington." says Mr. Yeon, "and
yet we've got Just as good and better
here. The time will come when Port
land will be the playground of the
northwest.
Pacific Route Tfears Completion.
"On the Pacific highway we've got
200 miles of hard surface, which
Iraves 151 miles to pave later.. All
this 151 miles has been rocked or will
he and can be used all the year. In
a month. I understand, the state high
way commission will let contracts for
hard-surfacing 75 of the 151 miles,
and the paving can be laid next year.
It will then have the unpaved but
macadamized portion of the Pacific
highway reduced to 75 miles, and, I
suppose, this will be put under con
tract a year rora now for work in
It 22.
"On the road to Astoria all is paved
but 20 mles, and this gap will be cov
ered this season. It will mean a
paved highway from Astoria to Hood
River, a distance of 185 miles. When
tlie paving is laid between Astoria and
S aside and between Hood River and
The Dalles, next year, there will be
215 miles of paved highway from
the Pacific shore at Seaside to The
Dulles.
World Is Challenged.
I challenge the world to show
anywhere a greater variety of scen
ery and climate than can be found in
the 215 miles between Seaside and The
Dulles. Did you know that there are
more days of sunshine at The Dalles
than there are in Los Angeles? It's
a fact, for I Inquired at the weather
bureau. The Cascade mountains form
a sharp divide in climate. On the east
side is the sun and the wild scenery
of rock and sand and wheat land. On
the went Is the forest, farms and
waterfalls.
"When the Pacific highway is paved
from Seattle to the interstate bridge
at Vancouver, connecting with th'e Pa
MI'lo highway in Oregon, it will give
a hard surface from Seattle to the
California line. When that time
comes I will make the prediction that
25 per cent of the eastern people who
ship their cars across the continent
to California will ship the cars to
Portland or Seattle, so as to travel the
road south.
Northwest to Get Tourists.
"These persons .generally figure on
snending three or four months in
California driving around. Well, the
25 per cent who ship cars to Portland
or Seattle will spend at least four
weeks of their vacation time in Wash
ington and Oregon. We'll get these
tourists and we'll get some of their
money. It is the tourist money that
has made California prosperous. Per
sons have gone to California for a few
weeks and liked the climate, so they
remained. No one who has visited
California would consider that cli
mate as good as ours. Everything is
burnt brown in California and when
vou cross a bridge. Instead of a river
you Bee a gravel deposit. All the talk
in it nolnts are in our favor.
"Then there is the Mount Hood
loop, which should be hurried along.
It will be more" scenic and finer than
anything Washington or California
cpn show. There is that mountain 66
miles from Portland. On a day when
the temperature is 85 or 90 a person
can make the run to Mount Hood -in
two hours and play snow-ball. Isn't
that an attraction?
Roads Can Be Capitalized.
"With the Columbia highway paved
from the ocean to The Dalles and the
Mount Hood loop completed and the
1'acific highway paved to the Califor
nia line, we will be in position to
capitalize on our roads and our scen
ery. The east is full of persons who
are getting along in years and who
ennnot stand the rigors of the eastern
climate. They have their car and
they can go from place to place. We
have the climate for them and the
sontrv to please, but first we must
get our trunk lines completed. When
the trunk highways are built and they
art the show windows of the state
the side roads can come as needed
Mep.nwhlle good macadam is suffi
cient for the side roads, as the
macadam roads will take care of the
average traffic, but no macadam can
stand up under the pounaing oi xne
traffic on a main highway."
Mr. Yeon says that in Washington
the standard road is now a 32-foot
grade, with a 20-foot pavement and a
maximum grade of 5 per cent. The
Olympic highway is being changed in
order to get these new grades.

present state representatives j-om
this cuunty. have filed petitions an
nountvr themselves as candidates In
the republican primary for renorai
nation.
Organization Only Week Old and
2 0 00 Have Already Joined
Forces to Win.
Fifteen thousand members In Mult
nomah county is the objective of the
Harding and Coolldge Campaign club
recently organized by an enthusiastic
gathering of republicans at the Press
club rooms. It is said there never has
been a political club in the Pacific
northwest that numbered 15.000
members, and the Harding and Cool
ldge supporters are already' predict
ing that they will attain this record.
At the Initial meeting officers were
elected and these have zealously en
tered upon their duties. About 2000
members have enrolled, though the
campaign for members is but little
more than a week old.
It is said of the incoming members
that they manifest more enthusiasm
than -is usualy shown in a political
campaign, at least so early in the
game. A. number who have joined,
both men and women, state that they
had been democrats. but were
"through" with that party. These
facts, backed by the plans that are
being laid, are responsible for the as
sertion of club officials that the
membership will not stop at a maxi
mum short of 15,000 in this county.
It costs nothing to join the club.
Affiliation in the organization is made
easy, it is explained, so everyone so
inclined, including those who have not
usually been members because of in
itiation fees and dues, may get in and
feel an equal responsibility in the
campaign.
The club will soon begin & drive
for registration of voters, to the end
that greater numbers than ever be
fore may be prepared to go to the
polls and cost their votes in Novem
ber. Young voters will be especially
encouraged.
vv e propose to have a solid organi
zation that will withstand any politi
cal test of the democrats." said Presi
dent w. W. Banks. "We propose to
carry the fight to the opposition in
such a manner that the victory will
be complete.
"It is highly pleasing to note the
ease and rapidity with which mem
bers are being signed up in the club.
It indicates that this is to be a great
republican year. The reasons given
by many for joining are exceedingly
interesting, but it is enough, perhaps
to add that they would make goqd
reading for those who have followed
tl. history of the past seven years of
democratic misrule.
Prestdent Banks will soon appoint
an executive committee. This is to
be composed of men and women in
the different industries, professions
and vocations a thoroughly repre
sentative group. .
Persons wishing to Join the Hard
ing and Coolidge Campaign club are
urged to either call at the business
office of the club, room 722 North
western iationai )ank building, or
send in their names to that address,
W.-t tney may procure one or more
ot the buttons now being distributed
and co-operate in coming activities
of the club.
Officers of the club are: William
W. Banks, president; Mrs. Helen La
mond, Conrad P. Olson, John C. Mc
Cue, Miss Marie Chambers. Charles B.
Preston. Frank L. Waiters and
Mrs. Leander Martin, vice-presidents;
George U. Piper, secretary-treasurer,

"LEAD" GIVEN MISS WEST
Portland Girl Takes Title Role in
"Iorayne," Xew Comic Opera.
Miss Margory Haussman, vocalist
of this city, her stage name is Mar
gory West, writes from New York to
Franz X. Arena, who is at present at
his Rood River ranch, stating that
she has just signed for the leading
role in "Lorayne," a new comic opera,
at a salary of $250 per week. It is
stated that Frank H. Grey, the com
poser, engaged her for this ooveted
part because of the beauty and ease
of her tone-production and her ex
cellent diction.
This is the seconi cperatic engage
ment of Miss West, er debut having
been made in Victor Herbert's "Angel
Face." Miss West is a well-known
Portland girl.
officers of the regular- Republican
club were chosen to handle the cam
paign club. A committee headed by
George Ginn was named to see that
all persons register before the pri

WHEAT TESTS OUT HIGH
Wasco Field Said to Be Purest for
Seed in State.
THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 7. (Spe
cial.) Wasco county has the purest
field of turkey red seed wheat in
Oregon, according to results of
state-wide wheat certification trip
recently eompleted by Professor G.
R. Hyslop, of Oregon Agricultural
college. The wheat was raided by
Albert S. Roberts at his Boyd ranch
and graded 99.98 per cent pure for
seed purposes.
It had but one-fiftieth of 1 per cent
impurities, a record not yet ap
proached by any Oregon wheat in
spected by Professor Hyslop this season."
Concrete Paving Begun.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 7. (Spe
cial.) Work has started on the con
crete paving on the Olympic highway
east of Elma, and will be continued
from the end of Young street to the
top of Koch hill, a distance of about
a mile and a half. This will take the
paving beyond the new Grays Harbor
county fair grounds. The highway
paving west of Elma has been com-
pleted as far as Satsop.
When Senator W. W. Banks an
nounced in the Oregonian yesterday
that he was not a candidate for
president of the state senate in 1921.
and that he is supporting Senator
Roy W. Ritner, It gave the latter the
edge over Senator B. L. Eddy for the
position. There was a three-cornered
contest until Senator Banks elimi
nated himself as a candidate.
For several months it has been ap
parent that Ritner and Banks were
drawing from substantially the earns
source and that while they were both
in the field it was difficult for t.ielr
friends to make a decision.
- Senator Eddy has made a vigorous
campaign, ably assisted by Senator
W. T. Vinton, Louis Lachmund and
Charles Thomas, and they have been
in communication directly or indi
rectly with every prospective mem
ber of the senate in the 1921 session.
The announcement of Senator Banks
that he is supporting Ritner has, it
kts believed, blocked further prog
ress by the Eddy forces and has
solidified Ritner-Banks supporters.
Geographical position has been the
keynote of the Ritner campatgn.
Senator Ritner is from Umatilla.
There is a sort of unwritten law
among eastern Oregon members of
the legislature to pull together.
They may Quarrel among them
selves over local bills in the legis
lature, but when it comes to an or
ganization fight . they pool their
strength.'
Even political party lines are for
gotten when eastern Oregon legis
lators go after anything.
Ritner Loonu Strong?.
As the line-up now appears. Ritner
has virtually 17 votes and Eddy has
eight. There are five votes in the
doubtful column which may go to
Ritner or Eddy, either in whole or
in part, but if all those considered
doubtful swing to Eddy, he will
muster 13, which is not enough to
elect. There are 30 members of the
senate, and 16 votes elect. Judging
from present indications Ritner has
more than the required number to
make him president of the senate
Senator Eddy, in addition to his
own vote, is sure or Vinton. Lach
mund. Thomas, LaFollette, Gill, Jo
seph and Hume ight votes.
Senator Ritner is sure of Banks,
Moser, Pierce, Porter, Upton, Eber
hard. Robertson. Patterson. Korblad.
Staples, Farrell and Jones, and which
with his own vote, makes 13.
Aside from the 13 mentioned, Rit
ner is considered as the choice of
Ellis, Bell. Hall and Smith, making 17
In the doubtful column are Sena
tors Strayer, Ryan, Hare, Edwards
and Kickelsen five votes.
Analysis of the support which Sena
tor Ritner is known to have, shows
that five are from eastern Oregon
and four from the Multnomah delega
tlon. Bell, Smith. Hall and Ellis lean
toward Senator Ritner. as their friends
are already lined up for the eastern
Oregon man. Ellis is an eastern Ore
gon man himself, so while he is not
pledged to Ritner. it is presumed he
will stand with his own people.
The same rule may apply to Straye
of Baker, who is in the doubtful
column, and Nickelsen may or may
not be considered an eastern Oregon
man, for he is from Hood River and
Wasco.
Strayer is a democrat, and in the
past two sessions affiliated with
Eddy supporters on much legislation.
Pierce, democrat, has openly pledged
himself to Ritner because of the
latter'a geographic position.
If Bruce Dennis defeats Pierce in
the November election, Dennis will
also support Ritner, thus making no
change in his line-up. .
Majority Win Ritner.
There Is a long-existing friendship
between Hare and Ritner, and it is
just as likely that Hare will swing
to Ritner as to Eddy. Hare has not
committed himself to either candi
date. Edwards served with Hare in
the house in 1919 and 1920, and they
may go together to Ritner or to
Eddy.
Ryan, who Is a candidate to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Dimick, is not indicating a preference
for the presidency of the senate.
Four of the seven Multnomah
senators are with Ritner, while Gill,
Joseph and Hume are with Eddy.
Recapitulated, the situation stands;
Ritner with 13 sure votes; four prac
tically certain, and a fair chance to

acquire one or more of the five votes
listed as doubtful, or if Ritner counts

His Hearing Restored.
The invisible antiseptic ear drum
Invented by Mr. A. O. Leonard, which
is in reality a miniature megaphone,
fitting inside the ear and entirely out
of sight, is restoring the hearing of
literally hundreds of people in New
York city. Mr. Leonard invented this
remarkable drum to relieve himself of
deafness and head noises, and it does
this so successfully that no one could
tell that he Is a deaf man. This ear
drum is effective when deafness is
caused by catarrh or by perforated,
partially or wholly destroyed natural
drums.- A request for information ad

There are many different kinds of dental work good,

You generally have to pay as much for the bad as for

My work is time tried and always highly satisfactory.
