Coop eration bf(wen Eugene and this city In attempt to secure a commercial hlgn way from Klamath Tails via Eugene to Florer.no on the coast,, from funds provided by the Shakleford hill, was assured at meetings with a Kugeno delegation held this week. A committee conslstinK of President J. W. Siemens of the Commercial club. County Judge Marian Hanks, Circuit Judsre Ioll V. Kuykondall. Postmaster IV. A, Delzell and K. B. Hall has been aelected to represent this district in .getting: desired assistance. Eugene Sends Delegation. The Kukciv delegation. Judge VV. H Thompson, Clyde K. Seitz and H. W. Griffin wero part of the committee of Eugene's leading citizens who last week visited Salem and petitioned such a highway from the stale board of highway commlasioners. Money from the, Shakleford funds Is , available this year and will he for sev eral years for commercial highways in conjunction with state, funds. At the meetings held here, the commercial necessity of the proposed route was 1 pointed out and convincing arguments 1 brought forth for its construction among, the first from the Shakleford funds. Klamath county, although In Oregon and paying taxes In Oregon, is permitted under existing conditions no profitable commerce relations with any other section of the state in any di rection. Her only possible trade Inter course is with California on the south, of which she has always been a part In all but name. so much of her territory is bound up . in national park forest reserve, bird reserve, Indian reservation and other reserves that less than 1" per cent of her property la listed on the county tax rolls. Wants Recognition Wow. Taking these things ' into considera tion together with the fact that this district has never received any tate money from any source for road con struction. It is believed that recognition of it nhould now be made and whllt the great Importance of highway Im provement In other sections of the state were conceded and a desire ex pressed to conflict with no other in terests, a strenuous effort will be made to secure part of the Shakleford funds due this territory. The county court adjourning its regular session, attend ed the meeting at the Commercial club in a body and showed a desire to for ward the movement In every way pos sible. The Eugene enthusiasts re turned over the road proposed to be Improved. Ibanon, Or., Aug. 12.

Klickitat farmer, wont to the e-xp.-nse of having his automobile towed into a local garage only to find that the reason his car wouldn't go was because there was no water In the radiator.

Mrs. John' McTaggart of Madras believes she has developed a secret method of making fast dyes from vegetable matter that will revolutionize the dyemaking in dustry. Mrs. McTaggart ha;S sent samples of her self-made dyes to Congressman Slnnott with the request that they he submitted to government experts for testing. Mrs. John McTaggart was born in Pllkington, Wellington county, On tario. Her father, Robert Bye, ws of an old and well known fan. ily of that section. Quebec. Canada, was for many years called I'yetovn, receiving that name from Colonel Bye, one of Mrs. Mc-Taggart's ancestors who set tled in Canada prior to its cession by France to Great Britain. Robert Bye married Fanny Francis, daughter of Marie Phelp, a woman of prominence socially in England two generations ago. Twelve Years in Madras. Mrs. McTaesart moved to "Ptemidjl. Minn., in her early life and there, In 1900, was marr ed to J.jhn McTageart. also a natnc of Canada. For the last twelve years Mr. and Mrs. McTacmrt have made their home in Madras. They were among the early settlers in this town. They have three children. Ruth, 15. and Francis and Van, boys of 11 and years, respectively. Mrs. McTaggart has been experi menting with colors almost all her life, but only since the war in Eu rope has she turned her energies to ward making a fast dye to take the place of the German product. Her ambition is to deal a vital blow to the Germans commercially, while her na tional brothers are shedding their blood upon the battlefields of France and Belgium. Mrs. McTaggart is not using any of the recognized dyes of the world, birr iiepenumg upon lie (coring matter in any fruit or vegetable prod uct. H is her firm conv.ction thai, lrctn the natural coloring: existing ;n the vegetable world, a last dye of any shade may be made. Process Is Secret. The process of imparting this col oring matter to the clolii and of mak ing that color "fast'' is the secret tli.u she guards with jealous care. Mrs. McTaggart has samples of doth, both wool and cotton, that have, been exposed to ali of th known com mon tests for fast colors, and that show no tendency whatever to fade. Samples that have been exposed to the direct rays of the sun and to tha weather for three months, are ai bright today as when first produced. At present Mrs. McTaggart has over sixty different shades of coloring. Tin only color tnat so far has eluded uer efforts is blue, but she expresses con fidence in her abi.ity to conquer tne difficulties encountered in her seaich for this elusive color. Mrs. John McTaggart. St. Louis, Mo., and other middle west- I ern cities. ! A dahlia association was formed at !a meeting in the rooms of the En gine Chamber of Commerce Saturday altcrnoon.

It is said. too. that the present summer has not been entirely satis factory for breeding. The high water has finally receded to a point where the dairymen south and west of here on the bottom, wno were forced to abandon their lands during the high water, can move back to their places. The recent warm weather literally cooked the grass which was under water, and what is left is covered with a heavy deposit of mud from the backwater. l'ss rain comes soon it will be some time before there is any satisfactory pas turage. The cut of natural hay this fall will be small, so the financial loss will lv heavy to all who were com pelled to move out. Reports from the different parts of the county in this section are that there will he a good crop of large prunea harreted this fall. Although many orchards were badlyt damaged by the silver thaw last winter, growers believe that the prunes are larger and better as a result of the unexpected trimming. Some growers whose or chards were badly broken down are satisfied that the loss will be more than helf made up by the better qual ity and large size of the fruit.
