A measure probably 'will b submit

reorganizing the state highway com
Tnlssfon and bonding- the state In the
" sum of i 110,000,000 for tho .construc-

! This will t the chief rerfult ot a
trip made by-S. Benson, J. H. : Albert
snd Leslie Butler, members of the
' advisory board of the state highway
commission, over the Paclfie and Co
Jumbia River highways and through'
central Oregon. Accompanied by Dep
uty State Engineer Cantlne, the board
passed, through the : Willamette, Ump
iua and Rogue river valleys, crossed
, the ; Siskiyou mountains ; into ; the
Klamath basin, visited Crater lake and
toured the Crescent, Laplne and Bend
districts, Crook county, the wheat sec-tlons-of
Wasco, Jefferson and Sherman
counties. .--.v
The question of state aid for trunk
fpada was discussed : with county :om
clals and" prominent citizens at all
these points. Reviewing the trip, &
Benson said today:', -
"-"We found great Interest In the road

southern and central? portions of h
state, and the plan for giving state aid

ably received., " : . v;--;
. possibilities for Development,
; ""What ' impressed me most probably
on the entire tour was the great possi
bility for development throughout the
state. I will instance that section ly
ing between Klamath Falls and. Bend.
. "It reminded me of'the northern part
of Wisconsin in the early days, covered
as it is with 'jack' pine. In Wisconsin
this all has been cleared, and it is now
a 5 great dairying country,,: I ses no
reason why the same use should not be
made of this section, drained by the
head waters of the Deschutes. It looks
as - though . it would -be easy to get
., water ' on the land. There is ;- room
for a .population of 1,000,000 people
here. I saw many other sections that
will some day sustain a large number
of people."
, -. Inspect Koads Is Bouts.
The board made a" personal inspec
,t Ion of the principal roads en route,
and as an immediate result will make
, a number of Important fecommenda
' tlons to the state highway -commission.
. When the question of a bond issue
is submitted to the voters next year
there will also be submitted a plan to
create a non-partisan, .non-salaried
commission of five members.- - Three of
these would be chosen from ; western
Oregon and ; two from .... east of the

what previously had been a collection

essary - i
Each of the small Independent prop
erties, though operated by the parent
company, was legally a railroad by it
self and reports. Interchanges, divis
ions of earnings and all other phases
of accounting work had to be kept
separate for each. -This multiplied the
bookkeeping and general clerical .work
by the number-of lines in operation.
- The single tariff , for all lines is ex
pected to simplify the process of find
ing out for shippers what the freight
rates are to points on these Oregon
lines. Heretofore," except where "blan
ket rates" on certain commodities cov
ered the whole district In a single
rate, tt was necessary to- go through
several tariff sheets and add. fractions

At a mass meeting attended by 350
men last ilght resolutions demanding
the discharge' of all Japanese, and
Chinese from the canneries were adopted
and a committee was appointed to pre

was first presented to the city coun

no power to act in the matter. -
Will A. Lowman, president of . the
Coast Fish company, when the de
mands were presented to him. declared
that he - employed Japanese only for
work which white men refused to per
form and that he gave the preference

Fred Fulton, manager of the Porter
Fish company, told the committee that
he would consider its demands.

Number 14
The woodwork construction in
the new store is one of the most
interesting phases. of the work,
and one that will be admired by
everyone, Just a few facts will
be illuminating.
-The main entrance, the entire
first and mezzanine floors -are
finished, in ; Tobasan mahogany,
'which comes I: either from the
south coast of Africa or the east
coast of Mexico. Every piece is
selected for its .beauty of grain
and harmony of color. It is the
highest-priced lumber used for
finishing. , - ' .
The remainder of the floors
are red luan and old growth yel
low fir, cut quartering, white
enamel finished. The red luan
comes from th Philippine
Islands being hauled to the mills
by the water ox, a species of
buffalo. .
To obtain the vertical grain
desired, trees smaller than five
to seven feet in diameter cannot
be used, and this size requires a
growth of over a hundred years.
The older the tree the finer the
grain. To prepare these woods
for inside uses, they must first
be dried on sticks, then kiln
dried for a week, assorted for
grain and color, planed, ve
neered and worked to shape,
sand-papered, scraped and hand
