- "In response to a recent . letter
Bent by , Governor Olcott to the
county jades of Oregon .asking
their cooperation and suggestions
relative to highway legislation
proposed for enactment at the
special wesBlon of the legislature
this month, the governor has re
ceived letters from seven of them.
All approved legislation of this
character and commend - the gov
ernor for adding his recommenda
tion for laws in this regard to his
recommendation that the ques
tion of a tax for the proposed
World's fair be referred to the
people.
The county Judges agree that
legislation is necessary to pre
serve the highways.
t Judge Wilaon Approves
"I can assure you that yenr
action in calling the legislature
together if for no other purpose
than to deal with the destructive
trucks on our roads would in my
opinion be wholly JusHfied,"
writes County Judge J. C. Wilson
of Benton county.
N. O. Wallace, county judge of
Crook county, Bays:
'1 have no concrete suggestions
to make as to manner and meth
od of regulation, but' It has oc
curred that there should be some
way of -putting teeth into the law
so that both the we ight of trucks
and the roeed of trucks can be
regulated."
Sheriff Has Trouble
George K. Quine, Douglas
county judge, says:
T think there is an urgent ne
cessity for some legislation that

pains, sharp aches and twinges?
Now listen! That's lumbago, sci

you'll get blessed relief the mo

soothing,, penetrating "St. Jacobs
Oil.". Nothing else takes, out
soreness, 1 lameness -, and . stiffness
so quickly. ' - You simply rnblit
on and out comes the pain. It Is
perfectly harmless and doesn't
burn or discolor the skin.
Limber up! Don't suffer! Get
a small trial bottle from any drug
store, and after using it just once,
you'll forget that you ever had
backache, lumbago or sciatica, be
cause your back will never hurt
cr cause any more misery. It
never disappoints and has been
recommended for 60 years. -Adv.

It is, any regulation whUiii the
county court may make njust bo

harm is done before is? atten:pt
can be made to stop it. t Our
greatest difficulty is cansed by
these heavily loaded trucks groins
over the roads immediately after
a heavy rain. It seems . to me
there should be some regulations
to prohibit the nse of graveled or
macadamized roads by tru.-ki for
a period of 45 hours after every
storm." I
"The railroads of Umatilla sre
paying one-fifth of our taxes,"
writes I. M. Schlep, judge or
that county, "and the motor busses-are
serious hurting their pas
senger business and I might also
say their freight business, without
paying any considerable tax. Of
ten times the owners of : these
busses are worth nothing at all.
some having purchased the cars
they are running on installment
payments and in the event they
negligently injure anyone there
Is no recourse in damages to be
had."
Hi Kid Laws Needed
Eel us Pollock, Josephine coun
ty judge, has this to say:
"The combination of speed and
overloads is destroying o:ir mar
ket roads and laterals "of light
construction very fast, and while
I have nothing definite to offer
it would seem that if we preserve
the roads for which bo much mon
ev is being naid It will be neces
sary to both make and enforce
rigid laws covering both - speed
and loading of trucks. At the
present license fee I do ndt think
the trucks that are pounding the
roads to pieces are paying their
proportionate cost and mainten
ance of highways."
, "I wrote to Judge Cross yester
day suggesting that the county
courts endorse a 5 cent per gal
lon tax on gasoline, instead of .2
cents; three cents going to the
state and 2 cents to the counties.
In proportion- to the amount sold.
Of course this would be used only
for maintenance." This is from
C. P. Barnard, Lake county judge.
. Lrjrlnlature Not Trusted
I am In favor of limiting loa Js
and speed of trucks on all roads."
writes Martin White, Columbia
county judge. " While J
have very little faith in the pres
ent legislature, they might pas$
good 'traffic law, but ontthe other
hand if they muss it up like thi
present budget law we -would be
better off with the law we have."

Adequate "power development
from the waters of Deschutes riv
er is not prevented by a recent
order of the state water board al
lotting storage in the proposed
reservoirs at Benham Falls and
Crane Prairie, in the opinion of
Percy A. Cupper, state engineer,
and he so replies to F. E. Beach
and G. L. Cleaver of Portland,
president and secretary respect
ively of the Columbia Hydro-Elec
tric league, who ask for a further j
order by the board giving greater j
consideration to power possibili- i
ties.
This league claims to have
been largely instrumental in in
itiating the Portland world's fair
movement, the activities of which
are dedicated to the electrical and
hydro-electrical arts. The
league's letter declares that Des
chutes is the best power stream
in the northwest.
"We petition your board," says
the letter, "to issue a further or
der in respect to such allotments
as have just been issued by you.
suspending air action thereunder,
until the water board shall have
made formal apportionment of all
storage on the upper Deschutes,
between irrigation and power, and
we further petition that such an
apportionment be made. We also
request that prior to such appor
tionment the water board afford
opportunity for representatives of
the various business organizations
and municipalities arfected by, or
interested in Deschutes power and
Irrigation, to confer with the wa
ter board, and with the federal
authorities having jurisdiction,
and to cooperate in working out
a satisfactory plan of engineering
development in the interest of all
In this connection, we have reason
to believe the irrigation interests
affected have already appeared
before the water board and pre--sented
their claims. The greater
interest of the public at large in
the power have not, however,
been formally been presented to
the water board through accredit
ed representatives."
In the letter of reply the state
engineer shows ithat the ordr of
the board was based on the re
port of the federal Deschutes river
board, composed of D. C. Henry,
Colonel Cavanaugh and Fred
Henshaw. j
"It has seemed to the board.''
says the reply, "that It would be
difficult to secure a more com
plete, impartial and reliable in
vestigation than that whieb'was
made by this commission." '
"You will note." the reply says
further, "that the Deschutes rtver
