To the Editor: , Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words in regard to the reconstruction measures to be voted upon in June, from a coast county view point? You are well aware that Western Oregon is one of the most produc tive yet undeveloped sections of the stale. -The people of the coast counties have never complained, but with true western grit and deter mination they have had to contend with adverse circumstances on ac count of lack of roads and bad transportation; consequently, it is not surprising that all the coast counties are united and greatly in terested in the proposed Roosevelt Highway, which will be the means of opening up to settlement a large amount of valuable land suitable for dairiyng, and land that is simi lar to that of Tillamook county, where the dairymen have msde such a great success of cheese-making. It may interest" you to know that the dairy herds of Tillamook county produced 45,100,156 pounds of milk last year, and this made 5, 036,900 pounds of cheese, valued at f 1,852,694. , This will be duplicat ed many times jf the Roosevelt Highway is built, and the coast counties will prodcue more cheese than ia , produced in Wisconsin and some of the other cheese pro ducing states of the east, for the reason that climatic conditions are ideal for cheese making in the coast counties. The dairymen and grang ers are all lined up in these coun ties for the Roosevelt Highway. What the coast counties want is an opportunity to develop Western Oregon. They now appeal, to the generous and magnanimous spirit of the people of Oregon to help them do so, as Western Oregon has received, but slight recognition in the way of improvements but has always cheerfully paid its taxes some of which has gone to develop other parts of the state. All that Western Oregon wants is a square deal, and I am sure if the people of the state knew of the undeveloped resources that are in the coast counties they would readily cast their votes in favor of the Roose velt Highway measure. It will be a market road, but at the same time it will be used for pleasure by more people ' living in Portland, Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon and the Wilamette valley than by people living in the coast counties, and it will outclass the Columbia Highway for scenic beauty and pic turesqueness, as it passes through a most interesting part of Oregon. The people of the coast counties are almost as much interested in the other reconstruction measures as in the Roosevelt Highway, as will be 6een by a straw vote taken in Tilla- mok City on four measures, vis: Roosevelt Highway measure 281 yes, 1 no. Five million reconstruction meas ure 181 yes, 15 no. . Irrigation and drainage measure 247 yes, 17 no. Market road tax measure 206 yes, 3 no. Should the $5,000,000 recon struction measure pass and the Roosevelt Highway measure be de feated, all that Western Oregon will receive will be two insignificant sums of money for armories at Marshfield and Astoria. In that event it will be doing the coast counties an injustice. FRED C. BAKER, Editor Tillamook Headlight. Gifts to Memorial Hall W. M. Blakeley, prominent Uma tilla county farmer and member of one of the best-known pioneer fam ilies in Oregon, has subscribed 50 to the pioneers' and soldiers' mem orial hall at Weston. "I think this a very worthy undertaking and hope you will succeed," says Mr. Blakeley in his letter enclosing check, to Secretary Barnes. Miss Mabelle E. Croiutt, one of the ear lier graduates of the Eastern Ore gon Normal, sends a contribution from Washington, D. C, where she is connected with the Bureau of Re search and Statistics, War Trade Board. Miss Crofutt says in her letter: "Enclosed find two dollars, the war worker's mite, towards the memorial. "I am so glad you are erecting a worth-while memorial instead of a monument or a bronze tablet. I have felt rather strongly on the subject since I learned of the for mation of a company to supply towns with a design for tablets and monuments all alike and with no special significance for that town. "I hope the reunion this year will be as fine as usual and only regret that I cannot be with you." i ifs in The Fitting" j TRUSSES - ABDOMINAL SUPPORTS ARCH SUPPORTS AND ELASTIC STOCKINGS X Tka tr.t that Diitk fit Dnnia tic I PRnPFlfl.Y FlTTrJj I insured her toes for one million do!
