The exact position of the department of
r agriculture In constrains the application
of the federal good roads act to the pro
posed expenditures for roads in Douglas
and Josephine counties," Oregon, desired
? by the state highway commission, but
- refused by the: department, la set forth
by Assistant Secretary Carl Vrooman in
a letter addressed to Representative Sln-
BOlt.
t - The explanation wae called forth by
- a plea made In behalf of the state high-,
way commission's view by S. Benson, In
-'which the Importance of -improving the
; Paclfio highway links through Douglas
, and JosepMhe counties was set forth.
. Mr. Vrooman declares flatly that no
evidence mras submitted which even
tended to show that the stretches of
- road : in controversy might within a
- reasonabTe time after Improvement be
brought Jnto use as post roads. In the
absence of such showing, he said, the
law does not permit the use of govern-
ment funds.

' The only exception is Tor 2.4 miles, or
exactly half of -one of the two Douglas

San ' Francisco, Dec 1. Men of 'mil

them - stand a ' very - remote chance of
being called upon to bear arms for the
Untted States in the near future. .
This fact became increasingly evident
Friday- When" western army department
orders disclosed that two regular army
sergeants .have been discharged from the
service because their families are de
pendent upon them for support.
The pay of a sergeant varies from $60
a month to 1 80, depending upon the
length of service. Inasmuch as each non-

" porting the mails will be so. used imme
diately or within a reasonable time after
: It is improved or constructed, unless such

tial part of the whole, and-, the facts
warrant a finding that It would be un
economical - to construct the parts used
" for? carrying the ' mall without at the

"Under the facta submitted the de-

for carrying the mails." '

" Washington, Dec " 1. Somewhere in

What is Interpreted by local - saloon
men as an ultimatum to' them either to

or go out of business, is contained in a
big display "ad" published in the news
papers Friday over ths signature of the
United' States Brewers association. -.
The association , embraces in Its
membership all of the state brewers'
in the country.. The "ad" ends with
this significant statement :
"Freed now to -sneak for the rreat
moral truth of . temperance .that we
have long realised, was ours, and heart
ened by the action of congress and the
president, we welcome the opportunity
that is thus afforded us to promote
true temperance. Further, we pledge
ourselves ; to- co-operate with the spirit
of the law by adding our utmost efforts
to dissociate beer from distilled liquors
in every way. In popular thought and
in the saloon." . . .
After reading the advertisement. - a
number of local saloonmen said that it
meant that the brewers had decided to
abandon them, and that - they evidently
were going to support either the Rora-
lnger bill or some other anti-saloon
measure up at the next state election.
Secretary Schults of the California

make affidavit.
It is not likely the case will go to

convicted and shot." ' .1 . t ..
