A rigorous protest against mini In
'peed at th cott of scenic beauty and
local convenience la lodged against
tha state highway commission b E.
O. Potter In discussing tha re-located
McKr-nsie highway. Judge rotter's
atatrment follows!
"What i laid In thla paper la not
Intended aa criticism particularly, hut
merely a statement of facts which
aeera no plain to the writer, and which
I find are approved by o many of
our people, that there ought to be
aome mention and consideration of the
things which to my mind we are los
lnit In this modern utilitarian age.
, "Up until about ten years ago a
drive up tha McKensle river was a
delight and an appeal to the artist
unit nnet In every nature. Aa travel
became more frequent, of course, the
demand for better roods was Insist
ent, and rightfully so. About ten
yeara ago or a little lese, the first
improved roads on the McfCenzle were
built. The highway onmmlsslon, os
it was then constituted, constructed
some highway, ond among other
stretches was the on from Thurs
ton to Hendricks bridge, and from
about a mile cast of Waltervlile to
Lloerhorn. The improvement of the
highway at that time straightened
out only the sharpest curves ond fol
lowed closely the oid road. A great
deal of money, both by the county and
tiv the state, wns emended linon the
road between Thurston and Cogswell
Ulll. and this stretch or rood at tne
present time is the very best oiled
macadam road there Is In the county.
It was originally locnted and improved
in such n manner as to serve the peo
ple that had been building homes In
that vicinity for over 40 years, and
sufficient of the curves were cnmi-
nnt.l an that, one can Bafelv drive
around any of these curves at 40
miles per hour, tha vision ahead being
sufficient so that a vehicle within
several hundred feet con be seen at
any point. It is a beautiful stretch of
eead. winding along the edge of the
timber, and the water coursea that
flow out from tha McKenzie are near
the road most of the year, and amply
served everyone in the community itself.-
"Tha action of the highway com
mission at that time did not seem to
be pleasing to the engineers of the
commission at the present time. This
beautiful stretch of road has been
abandoned, ao far aa the highway
commission is concerned, altogether,
and a new etretch almost absolutely
straight from the town of Springfield
to Cogswell Hill baa now been con
structed. There is so change of
, scene, aa one in driving is looking
atralgbt ahead at tha new straighta
way which the highway commission
has given us. It one-half of the
monev which tha county waa com
pelled to pay for thla right of way
alone had been expended In the par
tial diminution of the three or four
sharp curves, the old road would
serve every purpose. It would be
much pleaaanter to 'drive and more
alluring to tourists and visitors of
all classes except the speed fiend who
wenta to go from beginning to tar
minus In few minutes aa noaslbte.
"The road constructed by the high
way commission ten yeara ago from
above Waltervlile to Ceerhorn has
now been worked over and a little
change in the alignment has been
made. At one place Just below the
Intone of tne city power niton me
new road parallels tha old road with
about 20 feet between them, and al
though this old stretch of road la
practically level, with no sharp grades
In It at any point, tnose in autnqruy
aaw fit to fill here and there, some
placea six inches, some places a little
more, over the old highway, losing all
the cost of tha original construction
and constructing an absolutely new
road partly on top of the old one,
"The road from Doyle Bill to the
dam of the power plant has been lo
cated by malting a atraight line along
just under tho power ditch, which
takes the highway away from five
or six families who were located upon
the old highway, and substitutes for
a most beantlful drive, slightly curv
ing through timbered areas and pear
the river, a atraight atretch of deso
lation about a mile or a mile and a
quarter long.
"All this at an Immense cost to the
county for the new right of way and
an exceedingly heavy cost of con
struction for the reason that the new
alignment rune through awamps and
soft ground with the percolation
from the water ditch coming down
upon it. Moreover, the county will be
obliged to maintain the old rood to
accommodate the settlers on HUs'
atretch of road, there being no one
living on the new location.
"From the Goodpasture ferry to the
C. V. Allen piece a straight of way
of a mile and a half or more, has
been made, abandoning the old rood
entirely through this whole stretch.
The new construction atmre Vlda
will be extremely expensive, much
more so than if the survey hsd fol
lowed closely the old road, eliminat
ing a portion of the curves which were
in no place excessive, and the right
of way could have been obtained for
at least J.'i.OOO less than hss been
pold for the new right of way, ond
this payment has been made by Lane
county. Hometlmo within the lost ten
years the highway commission sur
veyed and constructed a rood around
what is known aa the Power tirade,
about four miles above Vldn. The
survey at present adopted for the
roan irom sold grade west follows
a straight line almost from the Allen
place, and In order to avoid a two or
three degree curve, the old road Just
west of Power Grade was abandoned
entirely and the new rood projected
through a large barn and orchard and
across a field, all of which damage
I.ane county has to pay. If a rail
road was being constructed It would
be advisable, of course, to eliminate
all curves as much as possible, espe
cially over a territory where there
Was heavy traffic, but the McKenzie
river and Its rosd hss been always a
large asset to this county snd to the
state generally, and yet when the now
blghwoy is constructed from Eugene
to Ninirod, or thereabouts, It will not
be much more of an Interesting drive
than it is from llarrisburg to Al
bany. For miles at a atretach there
will be no ebonite of scene; one will
be staring strslglit ahead at the beau
tlful straight highway which hss been
constructed for the purpose of speed;
all these swinging curves snd sylvon
crura win unre uisappr area.

meeting of the National Tuberculosis
association, by Emily P. Bissell of
Wilmington, Del., who promoted the
idea of using seals to raise money to
fight tuberculosis.
"Every advertising man -1 meet."
said Miss Bissell, ''prophesied fail
ure. They could not see it despite
the fact that Christmas seals nod
been successfully used in Denmark,
nobody thought they would get a
sale in this country. At that time
everybody believed that tubercu
losis was hereditary and fatal."
Miss Bissell described the diffi
culties she encountered in the work
of financing a sanatorium on the
bonks of the Brandywlne river in
Delaware. The Delaware Red Cross
had no funds to finance the project,
so she drew the design herself and
had the printing of the seals done on
credit. This first seal raised $3,000.

"I do not pretend to be a prophet,
but surely not for one hundred yoors
yet will thore be any demand for tho
SO feet of roadway which the high
way commission has appropriated
along the McKenzie -river, to the ut
ter destruction of many homes ond
the disarrangement of the forms and
fields. Probably It is the dreora of
the engineer that sometime a
straightaway can be made from Eu
gene to Bend, but if that is Impos
sible, and If it is necessary on tho
mountainsides, or in any place, to
make curves and norrow roods, then
why moke the desolation of an eighty
foot right of way In other places' In
a very lorge sense the highways are
constructed for the benefit of the
people who own land adjoining, and
this principle ought never to be neg
lected in the location of a new high

the truth of what I am saying, let
them tako a drive from Ninirod to

as yet the state engineers have fol
lowed the old road. There are many
curves in It, It goes near the river,
and is still the McKentie highway
of old, ond by actual trial I have.

TOKYO, (U.R) Japanese art look
ing forward to the return of King
Prnjmlhiiiok of Slam to Tokyo In the
fall in the hopes that definite steps
will be takon towards improving
commercial relations between the
two powers.
Bo far as could be learned here
th King did not talk business with
.TapanoHo statesmen on his brief visit
to Tokyo early this month, but he
did ind irate his admiration for the
indua trial progress he aaw in the
Bmplro ana commented on the great
advances Japan has made since his
visjt here some years ago.
Must Look to U. S.
Tho Sinmeao, a JnpnneRe Mates
man told tho United Press, ' feel
they iininI: look to this country and
to the United States for support nnd
adviee in the modernization of their
country. For yeara they have been
torn by three forces: French nnd
British commercial rivalry and the
growing power of Chinese emigrants
within the kingdom. Both France
nnd Britain, it was said, have longed
for a dominant position in Siamese
trade and polities. Tho Chinese
have foltowed an affective method.
Chinese Immigrants, largely from the
Canton region, have settled In Shim
by thousands and nrn rapidly gain
ing control of distribution of mer
chandise nnd tho retnil trade of Hte
country. A great deal of money is
remitted from Slam to South China
by these merchants who, the Siamese
feel, are not contributing All they
might to the development of the
kingdom of their adoption.
King Prajadhipok, it wns said. Ik
dlivo to this situation snd may talk
with friends in the United States
about it. It is likely he will be
open to suggestions of increased
penetration of American capital into
Slam.
