HALL The city of Spokane lay cool and. serene behind us as we head ed the white motorlog car south on a six-day journey down the Three : Flags highway. Green and rolling wheat, fields, comb ed by a gentle morning breeze, provided a welcome contrast to the! previous day's blistering ride across the plains of eastern Washington, from Portland and! Grand Coalee. ; The Three Flags highway. It must first be explained. Is a, brand new route extending from Canada to Mexico, with its north ern .terminus In the heart of high and majestic Banff national park, and its southern end in En senada, Mexico's calm and roman tic city 01 manana, it crops into the United i States through Ban ners. Ferry. Idaho, rolls across wheatlands, threads Its way through Oregon's fascinating tim ber and cattle country and dips the northeastern corner of Cali fornia. ! :' This new highway, carrying the amber 395 in federal road, rec ords, leads to Reno, that, amaz Iiibt" little rttv of fav divorcees. win e-soaked gamblers and beau tiful homes, serious, sincere peo ple. Southward the Three Flags highway hovers "along the east . era skirts of the high Sierras into southern - California and ' Mexico. Oar first stop on this trip was Walla Walla, home of Whitman college, green peas and the atate teniteotiarvJ Lunch aver at the Marcos Whitman hotel, we vis ited the Whitman college campus, drpve a few miles out of the city to he Marcus Whitman monu ment' near the site, et the old mission, where en November: 29 Sr. 1147, a band of Cayuse In dians , swept down on Mtrcus Whitman's mission, dealing death to the enure encampment. An', evening engagement in Pendleton harried as on as the un dropped rapidly toward the west. At the dinner table in the Roundup city, EL B. Aldrich, newspaper publisher and member of the Oregon state highway com mission, gave us the desired low dewa on improvements planned for , the Three Flags highway. The entire route from Canada to Mexico. "Which la the lulu i United States highway, 39 with . the exception of the section from Spokane to Pendleton, is smooth, wide and dustless save for a few stretches of graveled but well graded road in Oregon. On these sections, Mr. Aldrich said, some wdrk is planned this year, leav ing only approximately 60 miles onuhe l54&-mile border-to-border highway without a dustless sur face. . 1. Plunce Into Sagebrush Next day, headed south again, we plunged into the vastness of eastern Oregon's timber , and sagebrush land. John Day and Canyon City, of course, we had seen before, but the little west- em cities are rich ia the lore of early-day Oregon, and it was not until County Judge J. A. Allen leC us -to the site of a humble - ifcXie hillside cabin that we real ized Joaquin Miller had actually made Canyon City his home for a time. Seventy miles south, our Can-avda-to-Mwcieo route led to Burns, gateway V the federal govern ment's Malheur wild fowl reruge and the towering, snow-decked Steena ; mountains ... Burns, sprawling like a western cowhand on the high eastern plateau Is a he-man town with lots of busi ness and progressive ideas. South toward Lakeview and , the California state line lies one of : the fastest sections of the Three Flags highway pushed miles across nowhere interest ing because there is so much of nothing. In the distance ap peared . Abert rim. the nation's geologic wonder and Lake coun ty's greatest "fault." sheer tnr hundreds of feet, we could see it tapering off at the base toward Abert lake, mecca for Indian ar rowhead ; hunters and a - favorite lor wild geese. Alturas, south of the California line, was our goal for the day, and we arrived there nearly In time for a banquet staged by Mel lie Miller's chamber of commerce for both Lakeview and Alturas people. - This northern California sec tion of the Three Flags highway, said Crate Jarman, well-known good roads booster in that area and a speaker at the meeting, was first planned as a -military routes ; Straight and fast. He pointed oat. bombs and ri vnamita could not halt the transportation of supplies as easily aa on the Pacific highway sxi coast routes. Roling hay fields, sprawling ranches and purplish hills of sage greeted us next morning aa we continued our trip south. It was a great open country, with high invigorating air. Oft the western end of Honey lake waa Susanvllle, tucked under iae sxtru of the great pine tim ber country. It is a gateway to Mount Lassen national park. We pointed the white Ford V-Ss nose down the road4. to Rene, and tooled smoothly along near the shoi of Jloaey ' lake, inconvenienced only by a bit of old-style road that slowed , oar customary free-flowing pace, ar riving early in the bustling. gUm orous little city that's made Nev ada famous.

"Boys,- he said, "Ihave ar ranged a dinner for vou at the Colombo, club,; one of the best spots in town. 1 I " hope you are not too tired ta. go through with it." The motorloggers assured him they were looking forward to viewing the night life, then hied oft to their hotel for a rest. At !, o'clock we found our selves seated around a candle-lit table ia the dimly-lighted Colom bo club. - A : little Tahitian rr who y looked like Helen .

Back on our schedule, we hit for the high, winding road that carnea us iar above the little capital city towards: Lake Tahoe. At the end of 13 mile we came upon the giant lake, sparkling blue In the afternoon sun. Coun try homes, resorts and camping spots dot its shores not too vis ibly, however, j to . spoil .its pri mitive appearance.

Eternal Vigilance Makes for Good Blooms and Healthy Bashes in Rose Gardens By LILLIE L. MADS EN r ' Answers to Inquiries: ;t - Mrs. H.F.C..

The leaves on the tops come out sometimes Dure white and other times red. al most like the leaves of the po- insettia.

Some, years it has more white and more red leaves vu man oiner years, l ne An thonr Waterer Kk a a omor tlvely loose, well-drained soil and it will appreciate some watering during Its blooming months. . It the faded flowers are picked off. tne plant will continue to bloom tnrougnout tne summer. E.B.K.: Poinsettias require rather a long period of rest. They are auncuu io bring into bloom at home but it can be done if conditions can be kept right. The old plants should have been cut back and brought out in: Mar or early June. The polnsettia wants a rather heavy soil which retains moisture. And at no time must it be sublected to cnld d ran rata The temperature should be kept at no less t nan 60 degrees. That is one ot the troubles with trv- ing to grow the poinsettias at home. It snould be repotted also. If it has started growth, you might try to take cuttings. That is supposed to be the more sat isfactory way. As soon as the cuttings tlona of the bushes .or ha may net nave used the sprays and dusts frequently -enough.- Some times hand picking has to be re sorted to.. June should tare been a busy month in the rose gar- aen. Juiy g&ouia be very little less so. If one wishes to continue in growing roses. One of the beetles which feed on roses Is a bright red affair with a rather long beak. The leaves and rose buds are attacked and when the buds do open the petals are rid dled with holes. Hand Pick Beetle The beetle often deposits eggs in the holes thus made and these hatch within a week or 10 days and the little grubs continue the feeding until they are grown. In late summer the larvae goes into the ground to change the pupae and hibernates through the win ter. Persistent handplcklng into a small container with kerosene is efficient. Arsenate of lead, one ounce to- one and i one-half gal lons, should bo applied to the foliage and stalks. Every part of the bush should be hit with the spray. Many other varieties of beetles and bugs also attack the roses. The American rose slnar alt el e tonizes the upper surface of the leaves. The eggs are laid in the tissue of the leaves by a shining black four-winered fir. Elthr an arsenate of lead or a nicotine spray will kill these. Every part of the leaf should be reached. The Roe chafer, a grayish brown beetle, which does much damage to both foliage and buds. can be controlled by spraying with arsenate of lead sweetened with molasses. Strangely enough, this beetle will avoid feeding on anything that has a simple lead arsenate sarav on it but will be attracted by a sweetened sub stance.

To the Editor: , Beinr a subscriber' I take ft for granted therell be no breach in the entente cardial when I try to d lapel the belief contained in an editorial la vour tuner recently under the caption "Sol diers' Coffee." In the thesis the contention was made that there was no good coffee served far back in the yester years. The claim can be knocked higher than Gilroy'a Kite when we think of the French Market in New. Orleans in the closing half of the last century whose coffee was famed through out America and Darts of Enron. Dorian's premier oyster house, in the Fulton market. New York City, served coffee par excellence over 70 years ago. Swain's swank restaurant-bakery-coffee house on Market street.

J A Vani Af A nnrrrlit inn t find in thinking the mstter over that I have a number of good friends la Oregon. : I have told none ot these people that I like them, nor have they explain ed how It has. come about that they put up with me. It is one of the things that go somewhat ueeper man woras. A former .residence in Iowa has been the beginning of some ot tnese inendsnips. i nave not iced that former resident of Iowa see something la former residents m : . . a. . a m . . ot iows in a i tney no not see in former residents ot other states. I do not understand . why this should be the case. The termer resident of Iowa is not a distinct type. I defy any person from Massachusetts, who should be un biased la his judgment, to tell whether a stranger la from Iowa or ; Wisconsin or Illinois. So, you see, there is really no rea son whr two indlvidnala fram Iowa should be attracted to each other.- unless, of course, they had .known each other there. Anrwav. duiinr the naat a war. ter-century I hare come to know a number of fine people, for no setter reason, in the beginning, than that chance had made us residents at one time ot the same state and had again made ua residents ot another state. An outstanding characteriatle of the Iowa folk la natrlnt lam But the Characteristic ia an mon clearly outstanding than in the ioia ot omer states. Congressman Bob Cozens, nf the 6th Iowa district, wba waa aa j exceptionally brilliant apeak- or, one auernoon in a campaign speech at Cedar Rapids, spoke of wwt people as beinr "nro natrla minded," and Mr. Cozens spokt ot iu incident later as having laugnt mm not to use Latin in a Public addreaa. even wKan v chanced to know a word or two ot mat language.

Had the "ct" been conceived and carefully rehearsed with a view to favoring "Boba" candidacy It could have been no more suc cessful, it was good political comedy, and none the worse for being genuine.
