3 Nowto the Important Business of Supplying Your Summer Furniture Needs f
' That western people have a way of
- doing things on a big scale was the
conclusion of Colonel B. A. Stevens,
' jphalrman of the state highway com
t fnlsslon of New Jersey, after he made
$l trip over the Columbia River high
' VT Tuesday.
Confidentially he said he wished it
vere possible to get the legislators ol
"'Hew Jersey over the road. Implying
hat after they had seen in they would
' Ibe more generous with highway appro-
triation.
t For public consumption he said:
: The drive alon the Columbia
greatly exceeds what I had expected
bt it and that was by no means Htti.
Its looatlon and design are admirable.
3he care with which the many email
details have been carried out is un
usual outside -of park work and the
i" general design' and its adaptation to
the scenery are exception In this coun
try and would be remarkable any
". Tvhere.
zesrt Owes Debt of Gratitude
' It li not usual to see so long a
stretch of good pavement under traffic
huw with Its location, low
" grades and possibilities easiwara, 1
cannot see how this road can fall to
be one of the great commercial high
ways of the continent.
- The people of Portland, of Oregon.
' and I may add of the nation, for the
r road is but the first link In a trans
continental highway, owe a debt of
'.gratitude to those who have rendered
' Jhe accomplishment of so reat an ide.-i
i - a possibility and have secured its exe
cution in so skillful and beautiful a
manner.
s . XTew Jersey matslng rnnd.
Colonel Stevens is visiting his son,
fcdwln A. Stevens Jr. Besides being
Interested in highway development he
'-Is also a patron of education and is the
founder of the Stevens Institute of
technology of Hoboken.
Speaking of highway work in New
Jersey, Colonel Stevens said that a
'' rflve-year plan was now being worked
'- out. Colonel Ooethals has been em
ployed as consulting engineer. For
the next five year the state will raise
' by direct tax a fund of $3,000,000
Annually for roads. A tax of 1 mill
will be imposed on all assessable prop
erty within the state.

i'" ' The gardens that were planted by
recruits in the food preparedness army
, are beginning to produce.
- We had peas and potatoes, grown
- In our own garden here at Woodlawn,
right In Portland, for dinner June 26,
i writes E. S Piper of 1S71 East Eighth
: street north. "We could have enjoyed
the peas and potatoes by June 21.
- but we were too busy. However, we
have been gathering and eating vege-
tables ever since. We planted peas
and potatoes In February, the pota
toes without sprouting, and if we had
" not selected a late variety would have
'had them earlier. Our neighbor, George
E. Nichols, had both peas and pota
toes for dinner Sunday, June 24. His
- planting waa later than ours, but the
vegetables were of earlier varieties.
, We are eating onions the size of a
