Walker (United Prewa Htnff Gorresuondpnt) WA'S 1 1 1 X O TO N , April 2. Morn than ISOO.OOO uncmployod will flml work during (he next year on road building projects, it states and coun ties push project! already approved and congress makes an additional ap propriation of $100,000,000 as federal nld in highway improvement, officials of the department of agriculture es timated today. The grand total cost of road build ing projects that have been approved and are awaiting completion is ?G22, 000,000. In other words this amount may bo spent during the next year if the work is pushed. This includes nmountB allotted by the federal gov ernment, tho states, counties and cit ies. Estimating that CO percent of the cost of road building Is a labor charge, II. D. Falrbank, editor of tho department of agriculture's road mag azino, pointed out that this would make approximately $375,000,000 avail able for hiring unemployed men. This amount, he estimated, would provide employment for 300,000 men the great er part of tho yoar. Between 20,000 nnd 25,000 miles of road can bo built if nil tho money Is expended. A I li st class hard surfaced high way can now bo built for less than 30,000 a mile. Many have discontinu ed work until tho cost has dropped bo low tho $30,000 mark. cr3 today quit when contractors re fused to renew the 1920 wage agreements.

By United Press SEATTLE, April 2 With the num her of lost placed at 10, additional Inquiry today is being conducted in to the collision early yesterday that resulted in the sinking of the steam ship Governor by tho freighter West Ilartland. Blame for the disaster may be determined today by federal officials who are conducting a separate in quiry. The inquiry which Captain Donald S. Ames and Captain Harry S. Lord, local United States steamboat in spectors started shortly after the West Hnrtland limped into port yes terday morning, bringing '231 surviv ors of tho catstrophe, was to be feat ured today by testimony of officers and crow of both vessels. How the freighter rammed the passenger liner off Point Wilson and sent tho vessel beneuth 40 fathoms of water is being told behind closed doors to tho two inspectors, sitting as a maritime grand Jury. Assistant United States District Attorney F. C. Rengin, representing tho government, listened to the testi mony last night of officers on watch when the disaster occurred, but ask ed no questions. When tho Inquiry adjourned it was expected that Rea gan would tako a hand in the mat tor this morning. Captain Harry Martin, who piloted tho Governor when she was struck, Is almost unanimously accredited by survivors as Baying that he mistook the must lights of tho West Hartland for shore lights. Some said that Martin probably discovered his mis ake but failed to estimate the freight er's spocd correctly. The Govornor, valued at $1,500,000 will bo replaced on the Snn Fran cisco Pugot Sound run by the Ad miral liner Queen. "Don't put your eggs all In one basket" is the lesson which falling crop prices have taught agriculturists in southern states, say Texas farmers and one that might well be observed In every state in the Union. Many southern states have "stayed with cotton" through fat and lean years alike always at a big sacrifice in the end. But as these pictures show 'midst the cabbages and palms Texans at least are mixing their crops but the point is southern so:l will grow most anything if the tillers will give it tho opportunity. wus delayed several hours today by the burning of a bridgo east of Pen dleton.

The gunmen nro said to have ar rived from San Francisco, evading wnltlng guards at depots. Thoy were last reported on tho train at Rose burg, bound north. The Blng Kong Bow Leong tong, In n letter to a Portland newspaper, promised the public that there would drastic action when it was forced by the radical element. The public looks forward with some fear to the meeting next week of the railway and transport work ers. They believe that the great mass of British worwmen, all trades, are im bued with the thought' that labot Is confronted with a general reduction of wages and that labor will accept -Main 01 tf I the challenge of the employers. If, therefore, the triplo alliance,, supports the miners, England may look forwird to tho most desperate labor war in its history and one which will end either in destruction of the unions or something approxi mating nationalization of Industry.

The king's decreet permits the wid est powers to tho premier, making Lloyd-George virtually a dictator, even though the more extreme measures to be taken are subject to a review by parliament, which must convene within five days In or der to approve them. It is stated that the government, has determined to refuse non-employ- SALTS IS FINE FOR KIDNEYS, QUIT HEAT SLIP mcnt pay to all strikers, even those obviously affected by the lockout previously planned by the mine own ers, for the whole movement is char acterized as distinctly a strike and not technical "non-employment." At present Wales and Scotland, centers of communist spirit, are be ing watched closely, and tho gov ernment has prepared the most dras tic measures to protect property in tho case of an emergency. General sentiment is well summed up by a high official with whom I talked today. He said: "The strike will kill itself as well as scuttle the miners' federation. J. H. Thomas may save the railway federation and If a general election is precipitated, Lloyd-George will be returned by the greatest majority in the premier's career. Lloyd-George is an opportunist. Ho will grasp at this chance." Bungalow orchestra Elks hall, Monday, April 4.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. 'Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter I or Btraln only part of the waste and. poison from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly ail rhoumatism, neau aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con stipation, dizilness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders como from sluggish kidneys. The moment you (eel a dull none In the kidneys or your back hurts, or If the urine is cloudy, offensive, full) of sediment, irregular or passage or attended by & sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tublesnoonrul In a (lass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthla and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralise the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending Madder disorder. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful ef fervescent lithla-water drink which all regular meat eaters sheuld take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby ?r voiding r eric us kidney complica tions.
