I state 'highway commissioners treat the Pendleton-John Day road and other road projects of economic importance, jrhe people of Umatilla county, who know something about thje subject," thought well enough of the Grant county road to vdite $65,000 for it Grant county people also included tne roaa in their bond issue. The forestry department, represented by men, who know conditions, has offered to spend $50,000 on the road and to get more money if possible. Former members of the state highway commission thought well enough of the road that they included it in the list qf state highways. . ,- But the present highway commissioners cannot see the pro ject at all. They are "tourist road men" exclusively. They have expended $57,000,000 on the tourist road system and they want more money for the same purpose. , They dont see the need of economic roads that will benefit farmers, stockmen and businessmen. As to the Grant county road they are both unwise arid strangely inconsistent. They intimate that the Pendleton Gjrant county'road should not be aided because the country is no good. xBut they thought enough of Grant county to build the John Df.y highway whereby those people can travel to Port land. If it wavorth while to do that, why is it not worth while to help those people reach their natural trading point, which is Pendleton? Hundreds of ranchers in Grant county do their banking in Pendleton. They buy flour and other supplies here when they can get here'. But owing to the lack of a good road they ship most of their flour in by parcels post. They carry on banking with bankers whom they seldom see. The banks of Pjendleton and at Pilot Rock carry about half the banking busi ness of Grant county, which has 5000 people. But the highway commissioners think they are not entitled to a decent road be cause their stock can be driven out on the hoof. The "chief reason those people have nothing but cattle at present is that they have no transportation. There is land out there on which good wheat crops have been raised. But there is no way to get wheat to market. There is land adapted to dairying and to other forms of diversified farming. But in the absence of trans portation it is useless to raise anything but cattle and cattle growing is a losing game these days. The cattleman cannot malce enough money out of cattle to pay his taxes and interest. He is in a bad state of affairs and one unpleasant feature of the cattle business to the southward is that a man has to live and keep his family in isolation, away from the comforts and con veniences of modern civilization. If the 1 ighway commissioners were wise they would aid these people instead of indulging in jibes at their expense. There is nothing wrong with Grant county except that it is shamefully lacking in transportation. All this northwest country was that way once and it would be that way yet if our empire builders had taken the position that a country should not have transpor tation until it is first settled up and provided with a picture the r.tre and a pipe organ in every other block. The highw ay commission is making a mistake. Tourist roads are fine and we like them. But after spending 57 millions on such roads it is time that a little consideration be given to eco nomic, roads. The tourist is not the only man entitled to atten tion. The farmer and stockmen, and their wives and children are human beings also. They dont need tourists roads so badly now. They haven't much money for touring. They need roads over which they can haul some butter and eggs and other pro duce and over which they can obtain flour without having to ship it by mail. The highway commission has been right in giving chief atten tion to main state highways but there is reason in all things and it Ls now time some attention was paid to regional roads of a bread and butter nature. The commission cannot continue for. ever to spend millions on tourist roads while holding that the farmer and the stockman can hoof it. -- If there is any virtue in the "vot'er straight" theory the coun try should be in wonderful shape now. The people did that two years ago in this county and elsewhere but a lot of those who did so have been kicking themselves ever since..

A future popu lation which will have a number of abnormal cltlxens threatens London as the result of the German air raids. "Air raid babies" children born under the stress of Zeppelin and aero plane raids are now reaching the school age and are coming tinder ob servation. The London County Council educa tional authorities are finding them- j selves faced with a problem with these children. Although no tabulated fig ures are available concerning "air raid babies," it Is stated that the nervous systems of these children are unstable, their temper is uncertain, and the number of "difficult" children is great. Precocity Is strongly developed In these, abnormal children and a pe culiar trail is that almost all have uni formly taneriilK fingers. In one class of thirty-four air-raid children all have staring eyes, as though awaiting some great catastro phe. , Many of these children are found to he Incorrigible and have a spirit which constantly causes difficulties for their V-achers. It is reported that a few of the chil dren appear to suffer from constant fear and timidity. -i SCULPTURE AND SWINE, ART, ASPARAGUS, ALL TO BE MIXED UP AT FAIR fair held here, art has been Riven on equal place with hog, to vie for the ailimr.ition uf the cultured nilics.
