j A question that will probably come
up soon before the state highway com
mission is what to do" with the $45,000
which was apportioned out of the 1916
state road fund to be expended between
Hood River and Moier on the Colum
bia river highway. The apportionment
was made on the understanding that
Wasco county would seek to provide
funds to make an improved highway
. Thus far Wasco county ba taken
no definite steps to perform this part
of the contract end suggestions are
being made that the money be applied
elsewhere. In addition to the $4 3,000
: set aside out of this year's fund it had
heen decided to appropriate an equal
mount out of the 191? fund.
A few weeks ago there was an agita
tion in Wasco county to vote a bond
Issue of approximately.. $300,000 for
permanent roads but owing to local dif
ferences over the expenditure of the
money the agitation seems to have died,
out altogether.
. axio yrcviLiiiiiig Heuiiiiieni jji mo
county seems to infer the existence of
the idea that owing to the Importance
of the. highway it will eventually be
constructed by the stte without coun
ty aid.
-Among the suggestions heard rela
tive to the reapportionment of the $45,
000 Is that it be expended in Hood
River county west of Hood River. It
Is also suggested that the money be
applied on the Pacific highway in Lane,
liouglas and Josephine counties. An
other suggestion is that it be given to
Columbia and Clatsop counties to be
expended on the, lower end of the Co
lumbia river highway. Coos county
has elso a claim on the fund, there be
ing a sort of tentative understanding
that the state highway commission
would aid that county should it decide
to bond itself for road improvement.
AUTO PARKING PIiACK AIM
Roatlmoster May Ask Port to Make
Fill.
For the purpose of providing a park
ing" place for automobiles at Mult
nomah Falls Roadmaster Yeon is en
deavoring to make an arrangement
with the Port of Portland commission
ers to send a dredger up the river and
fill up the holes in the area set aside
for parking. It is estimated that it
will require the pum; ing of about 12,
000 yards of sand.
The entire expense of the improve
ment is estimated at approximately
$2000. A place for about 500 automo
biles will be provided. It is hoped to
have the work completed by the time
the highway la to be dedicated in June.
WOULD KEEP TRAFFIC OPEN
Cooperation Between Public nnl
Officials Needed.
In the improvement of the St. Helens
road between Linnton and Burlington
an effort is being made to keep traffic
open. This will be possible if there
is a cooperation between the traveling
public and the county officials.
Four concrete bridges are to be put
,ln but temporary crossings are to be
provided during their construction.
There will be considerable grading done
and lots of blasting.
In order to eliminate danger the
roadmaster's . office has set aside the
noon hour between 12 and 1 o'clock
when the blasts will be discharged. A
epeed limit of 10 miles an hour will be
placed on the road during working
hours.
Sterilization Plea Is
Denied in California
Los Angeles. April 21. (U. P.)
District Attorney Woolwine refused to
permit the sterilization of William
Bowen, a prisoner.
After pleading guilty to a statutory
charge recently, Bowen requested to be
sterilized by surgeons.
"As long as Bowen is a prisoner, the
county is powerless to grant his re
quest," Woolwine stated.

lithic work.
One of the Important features of the

; Advertising Man Fined.
Everett. Wash.. April 21. (IX. P.)
Because he advertised the names Of
liquor dealers outside of " the state,
Henry - Plckman r was fined $100 and
sentenced .to 10 days In Jail yesterday
afternoon.
"The way for Portland to get the
vast business of the Columbia basin
country is to put boats on the Colum
bia river, make the freight rates no
low that the railroads cannot meet
them and then haul th'e products to
market." This is the advice of C H.
Jacobs, who moved from Seattle to
Portland five years ago end since
that time has been engaged in the
Investment business here.
Mr. Jacobs is an old time railroad
man, and for years has been inter
ested in Inland .Empire and Columbia
basin development and investment
work. He knows that great reach
of country from close personal con
tact and. has an intimate knowledge
of the great volume of business that
originates there.
- Columbia Called Key.
"The Columbia river is the key to
Portland's future prosperif.y," said
Mr. Jacobs. "I know the Inland Em
pire farmer, and I know that he will
ship his products, whether wheat, or
live stock or whatever he grows, t"
the place where he can get the best
price for them.
"Portland has been asleep so long
that Seattle has started the business
of the Columbia basin her wav. She
has built warehouse has got the
railroads, the facilitiesMo handle this
business. Portland dock owners have
a lot of ancient landing places which
furnish no modern facilities for han
dling business if it came here.
"If Portland gets the business back
that it has allowed to get away it
will have to so out after it. It will
have to go out and grab it away from
the other fellow. It will have to give
the farmer of the Columbia basin
some financial reason for doing busi
ness with Portland.
Low Bate Zs XTrred.
"The railroads cannot haul freight
by rail as cheaply as freight can be
hauled bv water Portland should
build boats capable of handling the
Columbia river business, and get back
of them with sufficient funds to op
erate them. The business will not
have to be developed, it Is already
there. These boats should make a
rate so low that the railroads can not
meet it, and when this is done the
business will float down the river
instead of being hauled over the
mountains to Seattle. It is perfectly
feasible, it has been done in other
places and it can be done here."
Mr. Jacobs gives one instance where
a warehouse was built at Roosevelt,
on the north bank of the Columbia
and drained the entire district for 40
miles around of its wheat shipments.
Inducement Za Offered.
The warehouseman, by cutting his
warehouse charges, was able to offer
the farmers one cent more for their
wheat for river shipment to Port
land than was offered by other ware
houses for rail shipment. The result
was that farmers actualy hauled their
wheat for 40 miles, across the rails
of the Northern Pacific and past their
warehouses to get the additional cent
per bushel. This could be duplicated
at every available shipping point along
the river from Portland to the upper
river, in the opinion of Mr. Jacobs.
Campaign Is Waged
Against Wild Beasts
Anneal X.osses In national Forest
Banges Due to Predatory Animals
Amount to Over 9500,000.
The annual losses of livestock on
the national forest ranges of the west,
due to predatory animals, are over
$500,000, according- to figures com
piled by the government forest serv
ice. An organized campaign is now
on to exterminate these animals.
Wolves are responsible for about 70
per cent of the cattle losses, while
bears cause most . of the remainder.
Approximately 73 per cent of the
sheep losses are due to coyotes, 20
per cent to bears and 5 per cent to
lynxes and wild cats. Mountain lions
are charged with killing only a few
head of cattle and sheep.
