Eight cent fares, exorbitant telephone rates, higher priced gas, railroad rates so high that some farm products rot In the fields, and now a call for water to go up! Portland water stood the ups and downs of economic changes for a generation with but little vari-, ation In rates. Reductions were made in Commissioner Daly's ad ministration of the system, and they stood throughout the war period. It is now more than three years since the nations laid down their arms. How long are the public utility corporations and the Portland mu nicipal corporation going to capital ize the war exigencies, war wastes and fearful processes that came with the haste to get to the battle front? Not only should water rates not bo uo. but the other big wartime rates should come down. .

The husband and father insisted that he loved her. The daughter was the witness when the license was pro cured for the second marriage, and at the ceremony. They all came home. Wife No. 1 is happy. Wife No. 2 Is. So is the daughter and mission, I should like to slvo the rea sons why this cutoff should be built in the near future, and if not built at once why it should at least be designated now by the Oregon state highway commis sion as part of Oregon's primary high way system. The recent enactment of the Townsend highway bill marks a distinct step for-1 ward .in the evolution of our highway policy. Under Its provisions federal aid can no longer be scattered broadcast Each state highway department is now compelled to designate 7 per cent of the mileage in the state as a system and of this 7 per cent three-sevenths shall be known as primary or interstate high ways, on which 0per cent of all fed eral funds will be" available, and the other four-sevenths will be designated as 20 miles with the federal money that Is now offered you. and which 20 miles la merely an extension of the present high way from Umatilla to the Washington state line, and then you have a wonder ful highway from the Pacific ocean on the west to -the state of Washington on the east that can be traveled at all seasons. " -'".'- ? - . a a a - As mentioned before, from the time of the first snows in winter unui me latter part of June the Cascade moun tains in Washington prevent any auto travel between Eastern Washington and Western Washington, and the only means of travel is via tha Columbia rher highway. Why not make It easy for those people living In the vicinity of Prosser, Yakima and Eilensburg to reach the coast? The proposed cutoff will save these people 91 miles to reach the Columbia river highway, from which point they can go to Portland or the Sound, if they wish. In summer .this cutoff would be the natural outlet to the Columbia river highway for that great inland population of Washington that would want to visit the famous Oregon beaches. Furthermore, a bridge is now under construction across the Columbia river between Pasco and Kennewick that will d'vert the westbound traffic through the Yakima valley to Puget Sound. With the cutoff constructed it means the diverting of this traffic to the Columbia river highway; without the cutoff the highway can expect none of this travel. It will attract thousands of motorists to the Columbia river highway who otherwise would never see it. and I am sure that Pendleton with its attractions will get its quota of the travel. double husband.

FOR THE CHILDREN A VISION of the narcotic traffic -tV why it grows, and its tremen dous menace, was depicted In an ar tide by Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, In The Sunday Jour nal.

Suppose, then, Japan, still refused to agre. If no provision was made, for en forcement of the decision of the con ference oi of the court and the only provision would be by Interna tional agreement the problem that was vexing the world would still be unsettled. Suppose Japan should In sist on her view. Suppose the United which Is retailed by smugglers at $1 a grain. The cost, then, of the supply for each addict Is $15 a day. How do they secure the drug? Some commit robbeay. Some resort to petty thievery. . . Practically every addict secures' the money to pur chase narcotics by resort to one form or another of criminal practices. But worst of all, "and by far the most menacing in the ultimate to the community."

I Washington review his tattered vtded with enough morphine for his troops after Yorktown? In his wretched condition With the building of the Umatilla- Wallula cutoff the state of Washington highway commission will by the nature of the Townsend bill be compelled to complete that part of the road which lies in Washington, in addition to which it will be forced to build a cutoff from Dodge to Pomeroy, at which point the government has already expended over 2100,000 ; and likewise, the gap beyond Pomeroy to Lewiston, Idaho, will have to be completed, thus giving Portland the Columbia river highway direct access to Lewiston. Idaho, and the Palous country, and saving an enor mous mileage over the present routes. The Lewiston Chamber of Commerce Is working hard for the completion of the Lolo Pass road to Missoula, Mont., a cutoff that will shorten the distance between Portland and the Yellowstone park over 250 mllea Visualize what an advantage all this will be to Oregon. The largest portion of the wheat grown in the Walla Walla territory is sold to Portland grain dealers and exported from Portland. The building of this cutoff will bring Walla Walla 31 miles nearer to Portland than It now is and it will then be 68 miles nearer to Port land than it is to Seattle. The Walla Walla Commercial club is strongly In favor of this cutoff and Is officially on record aa favoring it,, even tuougn, as they say in their letter to the Portland Commercial club: "Walla Walla will lose by the construction of the road those tourists who come down the Central Washington highway and are in a hurry to reach the Columbia river highway. We feel that we will lose more than Pendleton, but we must consider the tourist travel as a whole rather than its community effect," and that sentiment seems to- be . general everywhere. - Th reason Walla Walla will lose the Central Washington highway traffic if the cutoff is built is due to the fact that it will shorten the distance to Portland Mr. Kitner truthfully says Mr. Ritner says that Mr. Ottenheimer is under the impression that the high way between Walla Walla and Pendleton is a mountainous road which could not be traveled all the year round. I do not contend that the Pendleton-Walla Walla road Is a mountainous one that cannot be traveled all the year. I simply make the statement that it rises to an elevation of 2107 feet at Weston, whereas the pro posed cutoff will attain an elevation of only 906 feet at its highest point . I do not believe that travelers should be denied the privilege of seeing the fertile valleys of Umatilla county. On the contrary, I strongly favor it, but I do say we should let the motorist choose v. tether he wishes to-go via renuieion and its charming agricultural valleys or whether h wants to take the short cut and save time. With the granting of the 10 per cent differential in freight rates Portland is in closer commercial relations with the Columbia River basin and should do everything In its power to shorten time and distance to the Inland Empire of Eastern Washington. .Mr. Ritner advo cates that we endeavor to have as much of the interstate connecting systems des ignated In Oregon as possible Instead ot in a sister state. The Oregon highway commission has no authority to desig nate a highway in another state, but just what difference has an imaginary line made in the social, economic and industrial relations of the Oregon coun try and the Columbia River basin? The building of the cutoff will not prevent any person from stopping in cither Pendleton or Walla Walla that has a desire to' do so. The hotels in both places are very good Indeed, and undoubtedly a large number of tourists as well as commercial men will stop at the Pendleton hotels when, the cutoff is built. She will get her 'share of the traffic that will be diverted to the Columbia river highviiy by proper ad vertising, and she can show the tourists the many advantages that Umatilla county possesses. - .

The entire cutoff is only 27 miles long, seven miles of which are in the state of Washington. Suaomed up. his argument is to the effect, that every road In Eastern Oregon from the Deschutes river to the Idaho line should first be completed before we touch the Umatilla-Wallula cutoff. Against this the. policy of the federal government Is "tt give preference to such projects as will expedite- the completion of an ade- auatft- and connected svstem of high Fways, interstate in; character." emulated the example of Umatilla and overnight rose against the so-called stronger sex. voted them out of office and elected women to all of the posi tions of trust honor and profit. a a a B.
