V-'.V'..V--4,:j;..T.-r- PAGE SIX ASHLAXT) TIDINGS Thursday, November 2.1, 1010 State Ranks High In Highway Work That ten years spent in the edu cation of vol pis and officers of the State of Oregon has resulted in vast accomplishments iu good roads Imlld jug, is the fact presented between the lines of a recent report of th division of road economics of the federal department of agriculture which shows that, although Oregon boasts a smaller population tha most other states, it is second among nil states in point of per capita ex penditure for highway construction and maintenance for 1915. This state .spent 8 sum equal to $9. 19 for every citizen, placing her next below Montana, which ranks first. Incidentally, Jackson county ranks veil at the top among the counties of Oregon. These figures are startling when the fact is considered that the gener -al average per capita expenditure for the United States was only $2.92 for 1915. California rauks third and Washington seventh, the latter hav ing expended J5.S4 per capita. Of course, the total sums of money ppent by such thickly settled and heavily populated states as New York and California are far In excess of the $6,82.000 spent In Oregon, al though this state ranks well with Buch larger states as Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington, and far ahead of such states as Kansas, Nebraska and the southern plates. The total amount of money spent hy the states last year was $266, 976,399, with New York's $24,255, !84 first, and Nevada's $250,000 last. One of the most interesting fea tures of the report of the department Is the revelation that more of the money spent in Oregon goes for act ual road construction than in any other state of the union. Ninety seven jier cent of all expenditures goes for actual road .building. Another interesting fact shown by the report is that 21.1 per cent of all Oregon highways are surfaced. In this regard Oregon ranks eleventh, or just below California, of which 21.3 per cent of the roads are sur faced. Rhode Island has 58.S per cent of roads surfaced, which four states, including Nebraska, have less than one per cent. Washington has only 12.8 per cent of her roads sur faced. New York has only .7 per cent more surfaced roads than Ore Ron. It Is estimated that there are 36,816 miles of public rural roads In Oregon, of which 7,780 miles ere surfaced. . In 1915 the sum of $230,000 of state funds was expended by or tinder the state highway department for the construction of roads In Ore Ron, while $418,975 has been spent hy or under the state department since 1913, when the state aid law v as passed. ' State funds available for 1916 aggregated $240,000. The Southern Pacific Company has spent in Oregon during the present year on new lines and equipment $1, S13.939; on old lines and equipment, $630,887; on stations, shops and roundhouses, $29,069. The Southern Pacific Company op erates electric systems In Los An geles, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Fresno, Stockton, Visalia, Eugene, Falem and Portland. Why "Anuric" Is an INSURANCE Against Sudden Death. Before an Insurance Company will lake a risk on your life the examining physician will test the urine and report whether you are u pood risk. When your kidneys get sluggish and doe, too suffer from backache, sick-heau-ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore and sleep is disturbed two or three times a night. This is the time you should consult some physician of wide experience such as Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' lintel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for sample package of bin new discovery, "Anuric." Write him your symptoms and send a sample of urine' for test. Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that "Anuric" is the most powerful agent in dissolving nric acid, as hot water melt sugar; lxjsides being absolutely harmless it is endowed with other properties, for it preserves the kidneys in a healthy condition by thoroughly cleaneing them. Being bo many times more aciive than litbia, it clears the heart valves of any sandy substances which may clog them and checks the degeneration of the blood-vessels, as well as regulating blood pressure. "Anuric" is a regular insurance and life-saver for all big meat eaters and those who deposit lime-salts in their Joints. Ask the druggist for "Anurio" put np ty Dr. Pierce, in &0-ccnt packages. STRENGTH AND BEAUTY Come with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Llscovery. This is a blood cleanser and altera tl vo that starts the liver and stom acli into vigorous action. It thus assists the body to manufacture rich red blood which feeds the heart, nerves, brain and organs of the body. The organs work smoothly like machlnory running In oil. You feel clean, strong and strenuous In stead of tired, weak and faint.

Promises Another State Blue Law The Sunday closing law of 1865 has been stricken from the statute books, but another "blue law" Is promised by friends of Sunday clos ing. Such an assertion was embodied in the talk of Dr. G. L. Tufts, state superintendent of the Weekly Rest Day League, in Portland last week. Dr. Tufts said that many voted to repeal the old law because the wished to have a more modern one substituted. He asserted that the re peal of the law was expected. "The Weekly Rest Day League wag never fully satisfied with the old stat ute," said Dr. Tufts. "That orgaa izatlon has always advocated a more general and comprehensive measure. Such a proposition will be presented at the next session of the legislature. One day of rest for both employer and employe will be the underlying principle of the legislation asked for In behalf of business men and work men of all classes. It will be the aim to avoid all unjust discriminations and to obtain a sane and sensible en actment that will be In accord with the physiological laws of human na ture and conserve the economic, so cial aud moral welfare of the state."
