HAY-FED CATTLE
T
Chicago, Nov. 17. (U. P.)
Half fed, Inferior grade cattle be
' In p rushed to i the Chicago stock
yards fromajl 'parts of the country
by panic-stricken farmers are caus
ing demoralization of the cattle
market, according to Albert Baker,
head of the United States bureau
of markets, here today. Baker ap
pealed to farmers to stem the tide.
Farmers, Baker said, have become
panicky because of timidity over future
livestock prices and. are unloading
underweight stock on the market which
has caused wide1 breaks in prices.
It was estimated there were .close to
68,000 cattle in, the stockyards at the
opening today. - This is the largest num
ber In two years.
Cattle prices broke and 'stock sold for
$1 lower yesterday than the ' previous
day's close and from $2.50 to 3 cheaper;
than two week ! ao. Prices yesterday!
ranged from JI.EO to $12.50, with the
prospect today that' prices would be
cheaper.
Cattle prices are cheaper now than;
any time since 1916.
j "Farmers are cutting ' their own
throats . by sending underweight cattle
to slaughter," Baker said today. "It
Stands to reason that well-fed cattle
will bring, better prices than the in
ferior grade 'now being 'sold. Feed is
much cheaper and there, is no reason
why farmers should not -hold their stock
until they are more mature."
Demoralization of the cattle market
has had little effect on the hog .mar
ket, according to Baker. Bake4 ex
pects declines- In hogs, but predicted
the downward j movement would be
gradual. : ' ; f I

overhead expense will "go far -beyond the
. ..percentage of work being done than is
contemplated by Jaw. This is oifc of the
many reasons I favored the letting of
contracts for completion of the uncom
pleted sections of the Pacific highway.
It has heretofore been the policy of
the commission to let all paving con
tracts in the fall so that -contractors
; could have the winter months for. the
establishment of equipment, the gath
ering of supplies and the assembling of
materials so that the actual work of
- paving could begin as soon as climatic
conditions permitted. From 30 to 90
days are required by' contractors for
preparatory work for paving and if the
awarding of contracts is delayed until
spring, the . actual work cannot i begin
until late summer; thus much valuable
time is lost.
' The contention that by waiting the
work will be done at less clit is not
borne out by past experience. The de
partment Is now completing work to the
amount of one million dollars ($1,000,
000) left incomplete by contractors who
have declared themselves unable to fin
. ish their contracts owing to financial re
verses and it is safe to assert that no
contractor doing ' state highway work
. has made an unreasonable profit ; on the
contrary, most of them have lost money.
PACIFIC HIGHWAY DELATED:
When the people by their votes last
June authorized the issuance of $10.u00,-
000 of highway bonds, it was an implied
understanding that this money was to be
used for the completion of the main
trunk lines and the Pacific highway in
particular. 158 miles of which is yet un-
paved. I have "attempted to induce
Messrs. Booth and Kiddle to agree to
. take up such sections of the Pacific
highway as are ready and submit them
for final improvement, -but upon some
pretext consent was refused and now
another year will pass and the Pacific
highwfy-, the most important road in the
Hate, ili be far from completion.
From the very first time it was pro
posed to expend state money upon the
road from Eugene to Lake Creek, I op-
, posed it on the ground that it was not, is
not and never will be a state road. To
me it is a criminal waste of public funds
i to expend them upon a road that begins
and ends in the same county over which
- no traffic of state nature or importance
will ever pass, and. as an economic prop
osition the amount to be expended will
- never bring proper returns upon the in
vestment. Benton county, realixing that
- it is purely a local coifhty road; is pro
viding for the construction of a thor
oughfare from its boundaries from its
own funds and even offers to pay part
. of the construction in Lane county. At
this time, when highway funds are at a
low ebb and when every dollar is needed
to complete the main highways. It Is
nothing short of calamitous to divert
them to the construction of a local road,
the cost of which should be defrayed
by the community directly benefited.
SERVED STATE AS A WHOLE
The construction and improvement of
Oregon's highway system has been to
me of intense interest. In fact, this form
of development has to me seemed to be
. the most important proposition for the
progress, prosperity xnd advancement of
the state of Oregon .nd my every action
has 'been dictated by a desire to be of
noma service to the state. ' I had no other
Interests to serve and local considera
tions were not thought of in my de
cisions. My one sole and only object was
to serve the state as a whole so when
I find that work will be retarded, local
Interests given preference over those
of the state, public funds wasted by in
action and a backward steD taken I am
impelled to step aside before matters
reach such a stage that my fellow citi
zens win enter a protest that will call
for explanation.

BENSON'S RESIGNATION IS f
NO SURPRISE TO FRIENDS
Among those familiar with the work
of the state highway commission it has
been known for a long time that Chair
man Benson was out of harmony with
the other members of the commission in
matters of general policy. For that
reason his resignation is not a surprise.
For some time he haa expressed himself
to those in his confidence as desirous
of withdrawing from the .commission but
did not like to do so until the state
highway work has been established on a
foundation that could not be wrecked by
local influences. He was especially anx
ious, he said, to see the Improvement of
the main trunk highways advanced to
such a stage that completion would be
assured without undue delay and the
diversion of funds from their construc
tion made possible.
ROAD IDEAS CLASH
One of the principal differences of
opinion In the commission has been the
improvement of the road in Lane county
commonly known as the Eugene-Florence
road, which was incorporated into the
state system by the legislature as a for
est road project. This road has been
a subject of controversy ever since the
highway commission was organised. It
was in a large measure responsible for
the retirement of E. J. Adams from the
commission by Governor Wlthycombe
through the influence of Chairman Ben
son. Commissioner Adams was urgent
in having work on this road advanced
and in doing so brought about an in
harmonious situation.
After Commissioner Booth succeeded
Adams the controversy was dormant for
awhile, but It took no new life a few
months ago when former Commissioner
W. L. Thompson voted with Booth in
the selection of the low pass location
over the high pass, which was favored
by Benson.
Although advocating the' high pass
route, Benson indicated that he was do
ing bo to raise an obstacle against do
ing any-work on the road at all until
after the main highways had been im
proved. In his opinion, expressed many
times, it was only a local road and was
not of any general state benefit, begin
ning and ending only in Lane county. He
called it a "political road."
FEDERAL BODY BALKS
After the low pass had been chosen by
a majority vote of the commission, the
federal government came In and refused
to cooperate under the federal aid act
on -the ground- that it preferred to deal
with a united commission instead of a
divided one. Besides, it also wanted, to
concentrate its funds on main trunk
roads.
To meet this situation Commissioners
Booth and, Thompson voted to dispense
with federal aid and to make the proj
ect one - in which the county of Lane
and the state only should cooperate on
a fifty-fifty basis.
Here the . controversy rested until
Commissioner Kiddle succeeded, Thomp
son. By the vote of Booth and Kiddle
a section of the road between Goldson
and the summit of the coast range. Into
the Lake creek valley was advanced to
the construction stage and bids called
for..
RULING IS HAD
V At the .meeting of the commission at
which the bids were received Chairman
Benson gave notice that he would seek
to enjoin, the awarding of a contract
. It was: agreed 'then that the question
of state and county cooperation should
be referred to the attorney general for
an opinion as to legality.
After some months the'attorney gen
eral gave an opinion favorable to tike
contention of Commissioners Booth and
Kiddle. Chairman Benson said that he
would no longer oppose the project but
still contended that It was a misuse of
state funds to build purely local roads.
He said that he might make a public
statement later defining his position.
This statement has come in his letter
of resignation. -
It is well known that Benson has con
sistently been opposed, to " the cement
concrete pavement as a wearing sur
face holding that his observation and
the experience of the commission had
shown that it was unsatisfactory and
uneconomical, even though it might be
laid down for a lower price.
TYPE IS OPPOSED
At the laat meeting of the commis
sion he voted against awarding con
tracts for this type of pavement south of
Corvallla and between Newberg and
West- Dayton. As the bid price for con
crete on these jobs was lower than that
on the asphaltic pavement he was over
ruled by Booth and Kiddle and the con
tracts awarded.
Another point of difference of opinion
in the commission developed last sum
mer when Benson advocated that con
tracts should be let early this fall for.
next. year's paving contracts. He based
his advocacy on the ground that by
doing so contractors would be given
time to assemble their materials and
install their equipment and be ready to
begin work in the spring as soon as
weather conditions would permit This,
he said, .would insure that the work
would be completed before - the winter
rains began and as a result the roads
would be in good shape for the winter.
The other two commissioners did not
warmly second his suggestion taking the
position that possibly next year labor
and-materials might be lower, thereby
affecting a saving in the construction
cost., j
HIGHWAY EXTEITSIOX
Another difference in general policy
.in the 'commission was over ' the exten
sion of the Columbia river highway from
Umatilla to the Washington state line to
connect with the Central and Htstern
Washington system of roads.! This has
been strongly urged by Benson, but the
other two commissioners have not been
in a hurry to push the matter, although
it has been strongly recommended by
the federal road bureau as in, line with
its policy of interstate connection-
Another point of difference of policy
which was growing up in the commis
sion but - which' had not ..yet attained
much magnitude was relative to the
preservation of state standards of con
struction. It was the contention of Benson that
these should not be departed from.
, If ths.road was worth building at all
he maintained It should be of standard
width and gradient. The other two com
missioners have indicated that they
would be controlled more by present
day traffic instead of that of the future
and be disposed to seek a longer mileage
with present funds by sacrificing width
and grade.

COURTSHIP AND MARRIED
LIFE .COVER BRIEF PERIOD
The whirlwind courtship and . brief
married life of Angel Sarray the whole
occupying a period of a little more than
two weeks is a thing of the past. Cir

Angel said he met Florence Chellman
at the city market. She told him she
was 19 years old and a student at Eu
gene and was in Portland to visit her
sister, but would not give him her ad
dress. His persistent wooing resulted in
their going to Vancouver, Wash., Just
one week after they first met, where
they were married October 16. A few
days thereafter he learned the girl was
but ' 16 and a ward of the Boys' and
Girls' Aid society and had run away
from thisVuardlanship. and that she had
run away several times before.

Automobile Tires '
Skidding to Lower
Standard of Costs
Automobile tires are finding their way
to lower price levels this week as a re
sult of an over supply of the higher
price and better quality casings, the
price reductions ranging from 7 to 15
per cent on fabrics and 10 per cent on
cord tires. The United States Rubber
company started the downward ten
dency two! weeks ago with substantial
cuts In the price of practically all . its
tires.
Tire men attribute this return to pre
vious levels to a number of things, one
being the gasoline shortage of last sum
mer when many cars were forced tti run

LEADING
MORRISON
HERO OF ELK IN
KLAMATH COUNTY
IS GIVEN RESPITE
The elk herd in Klamitl. county
will not be destroyed by the stats
fish and game commission unless
positive ' proof is: receiv d by, the
commission that the herd is destruc
tive tO( the agricultural Interests of
the county, according to a statement
made by Captain A. E. Hurghduff,
state game warden, whe returned
Tuesday from Klamath Falls.
Burghduff went to Klamath county m
week ago with a potential deith wrant
for the Klamath herd, numbering about
60 elk. ' The commission authorised him
to take necessary, steps ' to protect the
agricultural Interests of Klamath county.
"Upon investigation," said Burghduff.
"I could not find where t tie elk Jiad
done more than $200 damage in the past
year in the vicinity of Fort Klamath.
This damage was done by Wo does and
a fawn. The herd la not becoming do
mesticated -and Is keeping t6 the hills.
."The herd will be watched this winter
and If it moves in on some farmer and
appropriates his crops, he Will be given
protection. I believe the disire for elk
meat is more the promptltia" factor in,
demanding the killing of these animals
than-any damage they havjs done." - :
Burghduff reported a gref t dearth of
water fowl in Klamath county this year
and ascribed the reason ti the heavy
rains early this fall In Wesiern Oregon,
which kept the birds well to the coast.
