UUAbl HIGHWAY
TO BE FIN
Over Three Millions to be
Spent tn Next 2 Years,
Engineer Reports '
Approximately 13,200,000 will
ba expended in construction and
resurfacing the last uncompleted
sections of the Roosevelt Coast
highway during the next two
years. , according to announce
ment made here Saturday by
Roy E. Klein, state highway en
gineer. These proposed Improvements
will permit ot continuous motor
travel from the Mexican border
to Astoria and Portland. The
highway, when completed, will
be one of the most scenic in the
entire United States.
The- highway commission, at a
meeting held in Portland recent
ly, added to the Roosevelt high
way the Neah-Kah-Nle mountain
road from Nehalem to Cannon
Beach In Clatsop and Tillamook
counties. This section Is sot yet
completed but motor travel can
be routed over the present im
proved road until such time as
the Neah-Kah-Nie section is
ready for traffic. .
Klein declared that all eon
tracts for the completion of that
section of the coast highway be
tween Waldport and Reedsport
in Lincoln. Lane and Douglas
criufcties , woujd t be awarded he
lore, the end of this year, it was
predicted that this section of the
highway would be graded and in
a passable condition for light
traffic sometime in 1931. The
road probably will be surfaced
and completed by the end of
1932, Klein said. .
Lane and Douglas counties
have agreed to contribute 25 per
cent of the cost of the highway
within their own borders, while
I In nr rnnntv YartifstY la In
the best financial condition, will
pay virtually nothing toward the
construction. Federal aid money
Is being used throughout the en
tire Roosevelt coast highway.
Government Build
One Section
Klein said the China Creek
Berry Creek section is . being
built by the federal bureau of
public roads as a forest project.
Contracts for that section of the
highway will be awarded by the
federal government. The federal
bureau also will award contracts
iJ-fore the; end of the present
year for that section of the
Roosevelt coast highway between
the Douglas county line and Lake
Tahkenitch.
The estimated cost of 33.200.
000 for completion of the entire
highway Includes mostly land
work. Ferries will be continued
la operation on the Siuslaw and
I'mpqua rivers. It Is proposed to
construct the bridges after the
roads are completed.
The amount of 1344.000 will
be expended for the construction
of bridges, not including those
over the Siuslaw and Umpq.ua
rivers.
The estimated costs of bridges
cot yet under contract, are:
Cummins Creek 130,000; Bob
Creek $10,000, Ten Mile Creek
3H4.000. Rock Creek. 320,000.
15i? Creek $35,000, China Creek
$7000, Cape Creek $ 95,000. Tak-i
keuitch lake outlet $30,000.
The cost of bridges already
completed follow:
Big Creek $515,000. Tachats
river $23,000, Sutton Creek $15.
OOo and Siltoos river $30,000.
The bureau of public roads
also plans to construct a tunnel
aout 700 feet long in the China
Creek-Berry Creek section.

LINEN INDUSTRY
Belfast is Center of World's Linen Industry,
but Shipbuilding now More Important
Linen which is generally asso
ciated with Belfast Is the most
durable and least elastic of all
the textiles, and is also the best
conductor of heat, hence Its val
ue as an article of clothing in
the tropics. Based on -diameter it
Is the strongest of yarns except
ing silk, but the latter Is very
elastic. Linen has a greater affin
ity for moisture than any other
of the textiles and will withstand
water better than any of the otn
ers, this coupled with Its strength
makes it valuable tor fish net
ting. The story of the coming of
linen is well known and for a
considerable time It was carried
on as a cottage Industry, but with
the coming of the mechanical age
when power was applied to the
manufacture of cotton and wool
In England Ulster turned its at
tention to the manufacturing of
linen by power, but met with
many difficulties. The thatched
cottage which is a first rate in
sulator kept an even temperature
and the earthen floor provided
the necessary humidity. Neither
of these were suitable under f ac
tory conditions so artificial
means had to' be adopted.

The first power looms used
were the cotton looms of Lan
cashire, but they had to under
pa many changes to meet the re
quirements of linen and it was
not until a member of the
York street firm put the vibrator
on the looms that the manufac
ture of linen by power was a suc
cess, and even then high grade
yarns and low speed were neces
sary. With gradual improvements
they can now use the lower
grades of yarn in high speed
looms.
At this period York street mill
and some others now making lin
en were cotton mills and at least
two woolen mills were converted
to linen mills. There are now no
cotton or wool mills in Belfast.
The oft mentioned York street
has always been to the forefront
in improving and advancing the
linen industry. ,
Sometimes referred to as Ul
ster's linen industry, it is chiefly
confined to the counties of Arm
agh, Antrim arid Down. Tyrone
has one high class spinning mill
and along wlthi Derry has several
one horse outfits. The remaining
four counties have tfone. There
are over 900,000 spindles in the
spinning mills with all the nec
essary machinery to prepare the
material for spinning. There are
over 35,000 looms with the Oth
er machinery to keep them In op
eration.
There is ah investment of
about $100,000,000, but as ttfost
of the mills were erected 40 tt
CO years ago when costs were
considerably lower It Is doubtful
if they could be replaced today
for twice that Bum, most of them
hare been kept: up to date by re
placements, some of them have
been allowed to run down these

importance as with the coming of
the mechanical weaving 'women
have displaced men until today
80 percent of the workers in 'the
linen trade are female. There
have been no new mills for about
25 years but about half a dozen
have gone out of business. The
slack for the women has been
taken up in the clothing Industry
which during this period has be
come an Important industry in
the city.
Shipping and shipbuilding are
the leading industries now. The
latter employing around 50,000
men, iron works and building
trades also give considerable em
ployment and last but by no
means least is the distilling in
dustry which has a 60 percent
greater capital than the linen In
dustry. The city which operates
all of the utilities has a consider
able pay roll.
Flax from which linen is man
ufactured was once an impor
tant crop in Ireland, but has
dwindled from 300,000 acres to
30,000 acres at present. Whilst
some of the Irish flax equalled
Coutral flax the average was
tower. That they do not pull flax
by machine is a matter of amaze
ment to some people, but so far
no satisfactory machine has been
made to meet thei requirements.
The Vessott or Perfection flax
pulling machine used here was
tried about ten years ago, but
was a failure, as they pull their
flax in a green state It contains
much moisture. When this mois
ture got on the pulling belts they
slipped over the flax and left it
standing. Neither was It adapt
ed to the continent for this rea
son there have been other flax
pulling machines tried also, but

state farm organizations. Fifty
three organizations answered,
and the results have been an

the questions and the answers:
List of Questions

ments do yon believe the most
valuable and possible 7 Or do
you think some two ar all three
should . go along jtogether?
3. Is your district satisfied
with present transportation con
ditions and rates.

7. If you answer that power
development is the most Import
ant for first action, then do you
favor federal, state or private de
velopment, and what point on
what river do you consider the
most feasible for the first unit
of development? Please state
fully facts upon which your an
swer is based.
8. If you answer that reclam
ation by irrigation is most im
portant, please state when and
where you think this should take

cess. Retting Is very poorly car
ried out in Ireland being done in
ditches so that much of the ret
ting water seeps away into the
adjoining ground while fresh
water from springs finds Its way

added that much of the water is
very hard and unsuitable for
retting purposes. Scutching is
carried on by the old wheel type
of scutching machine. Some en
deavor has been made to Improve

Report on California
Epidemic Fight
,. - I .
Serum Is the only logical
method of combating outbreaks
of infantile paralysis, according
to- the weekly bulletin of the
Oregon state board of health,
which has the following to say
on the severe epidemic in Cali
fornia: During the present year. Cali
fornia has suffered an epidemic
of acute anterior poliomyelitis,
the first outbreak of importance
to occur since 1927, during
which year 12S8 cases were re
ported within the state. Since
the first of January. 1930. to the
middle of September a total of
1110 cases of this disease have
been reported in California.
The geographical distribution 1
of cases In 1930 shows a wide
variation from the distribution
of the cases in the 1927 epidem
ic. In that year, the outbreak
effected the northern end of the
state much more than it did the
southern end of the state, while
in 1930 the distribution Is exact
ly reversed, most of the cases
this year having occurred In the
eight eounties of southern Cali
fornia. In 1927, out of a total
1298 cases reported, 353 were in
the southern counties referred to
and 945 were In the i remaining
50f coanttes of the state. I. ')!
' Tn 9 iff, from January l ti
the middle of September, out of
a total 1110 cases reputed, 935
were in the eight counties of
southern California and 175
were in the remaining 50 coun
ties of the state. In 1925, how
ever, when 821 cases were re
ported In California, the distri
bution was even, half of the re
ported cases occurring In south
ern California and half In north
ern California.
Outbreak Early
In Past Summer
The 1930 outbreak made Its
beginning about one month
earlier than the 1927 outbreak.
In both 1927 and 1930. the dis
ease became epidemic in Califor-j
nia before it even made its ap
pearance in epidemic form in
other states. In 1927, the dis
ease appeared in Arizona, short
ly after its rise in California,
swept through the southern middle-western
states to the Atlan
tic, back through the north-central
states to the north-western-Pacific
group, Oregon being the
last state to suffer an epidemic
of this disease in that year. The
same course, in part, has been
followed by epidemic ' poliomye
litis during 1930.
