"From observations I have made
in connection with prisoners at the
state penitentiary, and from Informa
tion received from other sources, I
find there apparently is a most seri
ou situation, In Portland at least,
and possibly In other parts of the
state, in connection with the Illegiti
mate sale of narcotic drugs," said
the .governor's letter.
"Reports come to me from reliable
sources that fhe number of addic's
to the deplorable practice of the drug
Is growing. If this la true It Is a
most alarming situation. In any
ovent the Illegal use of narcotic drugs
should not only be curbed, but elimi
nated entirely If possible.
"It Is my plan, when your Investi
gation far enough advanced to war
rant It, to call a joint meeting of
the state board of health and the
state board of pharmacy and ask you
to lay this Information before them
and request they take up the prob
lem from that time to further go into
the question and make a report and
recommendations covering the entire
subject.
'I realise the necessity for curb
ing and eliminating the use of nar
cotic drugs In as short a time as
possible. But when the Job of clean
ing It up Is ilunc It should be done
thoroughly and well, and I appreciate
the advisability of going into all of
tho details to the end that we may
be prepared to meet the situation."

CONSTRUCTION IS FEAT
fine-Mile Highway Built From
Orting to Fairfax, Wash., First
Uuk In Mt. Itainicr System.
ROAD COMPLETION
Th completion of the Carbon river
Fairfax road In fierce county, Wash
ington, from Orting to Fairfax, a dis
tance of nine miles, will be celebrated
with dedication exercises next Satur
day afternoon.
The road is of especial importance
as the intention' Is ultimatedly to
connect it with a government road
leading Into Rainier national park to
the north side of Mount Rainier. This
will make it the first road open to
the public leading into that portion
of the park.
The connection with this govern
ment road will require the construc
tion of an additional three miles from
Fairfax on into the mountains. It Is
the Intention to construct this next
year, according to Judge Ellis Rob
erts of Wilkeson, who was in Port
land yesterday. Judge Roberts has
taken an active interest in putting
through of the highway tapnins that
section of the country, a section de
clared by him to be one of the great
est coal and coke regions In Wash
ington. Itondivay Blasted From Rock.
The new highway Is of macadam
construction and is considered an en
gineering feat of unusual interest
For portions of the distance it was
necessary to blast out a roadway from
the solid rock. The construction of
a high bridge over the Carbon river
was necessary. As ?. consequence the
construction work, which was fi
nanced entirely by l'lerce county,
without state or federal aid, cost
nearly $600,000.
The bridge over the Carbon river
at Melmont is one of the finest spans
in that section of the country and
cost $100,000 to erect. It was built
by a Portland engineer, George- A.
Marsh. Tne span is 200 feet high and
250 feet long and is said to be the
highest In Washington.
The road is of especial Importance
not only because It is the first link
in the roadway wheih is to lead to the
north side of Mount Rainier, but
because It connects Fairfax, long iso
lated, with the outside world. The
road connects with other highways
leading to Tacoma and so gives a
ready outlet to the section of the
country through which it passes.
In leading from Orting to Fairfax
the roadway passes through the
towns of South Prairie, Wilkeson,
Carbonado and Melmont.
Exercises to Br at Bridge.
Saturday's dedication exercises will
be held at the bridge over the Car
bon river, named James R. O'Farrell
bridge for one of the county commis
sioners in whose territory the road Is
constructed. Visiting automobiles
are scheduled to leave Wilkeson at 1
P. M. for the bridge and after their
arrival there the exercises will be
gin. A feature of this pottion of the
programme will be an address by W.
H. Paulhamus of Sumner and selec
tions by the Orting brass band.
Later exercises will be beld at Fair
fax, called the gateway to the north
side of the mountain. The address
of welcome will bo given by Charles
Holllster of Fairfax.
Tho exercises will be under the
auspices of the Mount Rainier Sports
men's association. Andrew M. White,
deputy sheriff of Pierce county, will
he marshal of the day. The commit
tee in charge consists of C. E. Martin,
chairman, of Wilkeson; J. D. McCash,
R. D. Moore, R. R. Roberts, Charles
Holllster, C. T. Brehm, J. C. Boyes,
