" ' 'v Wholesome signs of a permanent improvement are plentiful here and 1 oOBcrved many during the trip I re cently took through European coun tries. Next fall will see us all busy, though considering everything present conditions are very satisfactory. The chief requirement for continued im provement . is confidence. Prosperity is coming back. Not later than next October I think we will see more business than at any time in 12 months. -. . I found Europe in much' better shape. There is a scarcity of business there, as here. But we cannot expect 100 per cent business when so much of, the world is out of the market or is recovering from the effects of the war. , f Germany Is the busiest county in Europe because of the low' value of the mark. The Germans can contend in the open market because of the relative value of wages and cost of production figured in marks. Their labor rates are radlciUously low, while ours of course are higher than before the war. , . '"'.' '; These things will gradually be equalized here and help business to improve. " These things will gradually be equalized here and help business to Improve. Twenty-five per cent of the world Is dead commercially. Russia, for In stance, is lying dormant. Of the 75 per cent of the world that is In the 'market only 50 per cent is active. In business and industry Europe really Is running at higher Bpeed than America. They are operating about iiO per cent capacity, while we are running about 30 per cent. - Indications, however, are that peo ple are being compelled to buy more and more and affairs are reaching a sane and, solid foundation. Values are improving. Railroad securities ore showing a healthy strength. And the government is displaying a dispo sition to effect economy. Jfany peo ple may grumble, but we must give the government a chance. Decisiom cannot be made to suit individuals,- a particular elaRS or a special business; they must be for the general good. The value of the dollar Is Increas ing and, I think, will continue to do so. As the purchasing power in creases bank interest rates will be lower, food and clothing and railroad ratea will be lower, and labor will set tle down. We are miles ahead of where we were, a year ago. There is certain suffering, but nothing compared to rrone's. While Europe wa's getting better, America was getting worse. But we're cl'mblnsr up again fast.

A marked increase was shown in the number of persons ac commodated at the motor tourist camp here during 1921 as, compared to" the same period In 1920, according to the annual report, rendered the park department.

Simpson Auto Go. There's no such joy as motoring along the roads in nice spring weather, when the car is working smooth, and the engine is humming just as it should be. , , But there's nothing more aggravating than to have to "get out ana get under" - with both hands full of tools, every few miles. The difference be tween motoring number one and driving num ber two is only the con dition of your car. Keep it in good order, have it looked over every once in a while. A big break may easily be saved if looked at in time. "In business for your pleasure." Rogers Bros. ronv axt fokdso v AlTIIOIHZlin RAMOS ASO KKItVlfT!.

" Any stranger coming Into Pendle ton is bound to find before he has been here long that he is in a real Western town which has succeeded In retaining its atmosphere of by gone days and that with the shadows of the past 'there is combined In marked degree the spirit of the twentieth century. The memories and atmosphere of the past are kept alive in that thrill ing epic, the Pendleton Keund-l'p, which Is very near the heart of the community, and great stress is put on it, not only locally but by the outflde world as well. And for the autoist, the old days can. quickly be revived by the old toll-gate road between Weston and Elgin. It is one of the few stretches of road in the whole state still own ed by' a private concern, und there is: romance enough Intertwined In Its history to keep the kids interested past bedtime for many a night About 50 Years old. This road, which Is usuallv desig nated as the Woodward road, was built about 1874, almost half a ccn- tury ngo. 1 It was first known as the Summervllle-VValla Walla - Wagon Road Co., according to the records of incorporation , wJUch were filed In Union county and -with the secretary of state. Later It came to be known as the Woodward Hoad Co,, bv which name it is nearly always designated now, even though no 'members of the Woodward family retuln any interest in the l-or.cl. ; , . f . . . Mrs. F. J. Houanzoln of Milton Is a daufilitter of 1). J. Woodward who honiestoaded th; land on which the toll gato and ,th 'house of .the keep er nbw stand, and she relates many InoMents that ; occurred during the early days. Her "daughter, Miss Ar- lie Kouanioin, resident of Pendleton, has also spent some time at the old home pluce 20r miles from Weston, and she can tell many Interesting Incidents, i. , ' ? V "The old emigrant, l-ond came from Elgin to Weston back In the early days," she said. , '(The ' road of which the toll road Is now , a part wa- omit to intersect the emigrant road at Spout Springs. , : This siioi t oned the distance to l,a Grande and the Indian Valley country b about It miles' .Markets Wore Distant, : I The lives of farmers in thne dn" were full enough of hardships to make 1922 farming seem mure like a college sport, too, at least in many respects.'

"For one year the road was kept open all winter in order that the mall might be carried across the moun tains," Miss Rouanzoln said, "but the snowl and mud were too . much, and the cost of the experiment proved to be too heavy,, so it was discontin ued after that one winter. "The four original stockholders of the f.. 000 company were Charles '. Myers, J. D. Porter, James Rlnehart I and 1). J. , Woodward." By CLARENCE DUBOSE. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) TOKYO (By Mall to the ViH- ed Press The geisha think the taxation program of the recent government Is fine lust ; per fectly charming. And the own ers of automobiles in Japan think the policy rotten. The debate waxes warm In all the tea houses these days. .The new budget has trlui- med the taxes of all the geisha who are the waitresses and en- tertalneis In Japanese tea-hous. es. .And It hns added another boost to the already stiff auto- mobile taxes. In politttil circles the opposl- tlon parttt'S are laughing at what they term a "bone-head play" by the Selyukai, which is the party in power. "The geisha tan't vote, where- as most automobile owners can. So just wait .until election day!" they chortle. . . ' If Japan's automobile taxes had prevailed In America, Hen- ry Ford yould have fllvered be- fore he started. At present tax- es and. upkeep for one yenr here equal approximately the initial cost of a low-priced car. , Tln- lizzies are tew and far between and any automobile la a luxury. 4 ,,- 4 many accidents to pedestrians have j occurred through carelessness that M. I.ouillier has Issued Instructions ths-t In future when any motor vehicle runs down a pedestrian or is In ny way responsible for serious collisions the car shall be confiscated and put under seal and the driver sent to pri son. ' . Should the driver be found guilty he shall sen a term of imprisonment and his csr will be sold. If left free he shall be allowed to regain posses sion of his car and only receive a se vere reprimand. These instructions have taught motor drivers in Paris to be extremely cautious.
