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. ! :'

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

hundreds of feet, we could see it
tapering off at the base toward
Abert lake, mecca for Indian ar

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

people. -

Roling hay fields, sprawling
ranches and purplish hills of

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

near the shoi of Jloaey ' lake,

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

How Docs Your Garden 'Grow?
Eternal Vigilance Makes for Good Blooms and
Healthy Bashes in Rose Gardens

Answers to Inquiries: ;t -
Mrs. H.F.C.. Monmouth: The
sample of shrub vou sent me ta

thony Waterer.
What you term
as blight is. I
believe, lust a
characteristic et
that shrub. The
leaves on the
tops come out
sometimes Dure
white and other
times red. al
most like the
leaves of the po-
insettia. I have
never lp&rned
why the shrub -
does this- and I lira aarrhed
through a number of authorities
wun no results. I- have an An
thony Waterer which has grown
for years. Some, years it has
more white and more red leaves

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.

A COXXOISSEUR
GOOD COFFEE
Dallas. Ore.. July .
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. Kan
Francisco, was a real humdinger
in the coffee line a half century
back.
