During the Jas. few days I have come In touch with several striking examples of how deeply stirred is the heart of the American public. Many years ago there settled on a homestead In the Alsea valley a Nor wegian named Antone Martinson. By hard work he has developed a fine farm near Tidewater. lie read President Wilson's message; then he called his two sons, UBrly and Walter, to him and said: "My sons, when I came to tWs country I had nothing. With these two hands I have made myself a home- here. 1 have raised a family. This is my country and it is your coun try. It has given us an opportunity to work and to make our living. It has given us protection, and we owe it our love. "President Wilson has called upon us to prove our loyalty by our actions. Your place Is on the firing line. I will pay any obligations you owe and will protect your interests while you are gone. You have my blessing, and here is for each of you $50 to pay your way to the nearest recruiting station." , Curly and Walter chose the navy . the place they could best serve their country. Small Towns Kespond. waldpert, Lincoln county, has but a few score people. The boys there take to salmon-fishing or to boating. When the call came seven of the young men dropped their work and joined the navy. Newport has also done its bit, Among many others who have answered .the call is Herbert F. Jenkins, for sev eral years secretary of the Newport Commercial club. "I rather think no one was ever more rejoiced to get into service than I am said Mr. Jenkirs. '"I put in two years in South Africa in the Boer war as a trooper in the First Volunteer battalion "of the Royal Berkshire regiment. After peace was declared in South Africa went to Canada, where 1 signed as sergeant with the Ninetieth Winnipeg rifles. They have won the title of "The Little Black Devils" on the French front.

The remaining '. brother was rejected on account of de ' festive sight and has been assigned to help drill and prepare the new reciuits. ; 1 was the only one of .the seven brothers not in action, and I felt like a slacker, but now all seven of us are fighting for , the preservation of the right of men to govern themselves." OREGON ROAD LAWS PUT STATE IN LINE FOR FEDERAL HELP Acts of Last Legislature Are Regarded as in Accord With United States' Policy. PACIFIC COUNTY IN WASHINGTON PLANS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Washington. May 14. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) The road laws of Oregon, as formu lated by the last legislature, have placed the state in full harmony with the federal office of good roads oi the department of agricultvre for co operative work under the national good roads law. This is the view of the director, Logan W"aller Page, and of the of ficials in the legal department, whose duty it is to scrutinize the laws of the states to see how well they fit into the general order of things. The Oregon laws are considered workable, practical tools for the task. This is stated in full view of the fact that not all the suggestions made in the "model laws" formulated by the department were incorporated in the laws of Oregon. States have lo cal conditions to deal with and exact uniformity cannot be expected. The object is attained when the principal features are worked out to harmonize with the federal plan. The chief features required are that there be a responsible state high way commission not burdened with other work; that working plans be adopted for cooperation on the lines intended by federal legislation, and that sufficient funds be insured to go ahead. As to' the proposed $6,000,000 bond issue in Oregon, federal officials are in the position of interested specta tors. They are not in position to express themselves on what the state may decide for itself as to the extent of its program. They are naturally interested in having states go ahead on a liberal basis.
