Grove, Oregon, under the Act of
March 3, 1879.
A Prophet Without Honor.
Ex-Senator George Turner o f Seattle
scattered a few phony pearls o f wisdom
recently, while on a visit to the na
tional capital, lie prophesied a billion
bushel wheat crop and two dollars a
bushel for wheat this year if the wur
in Europe continues. “ I f the war con
tinues,” said Mr. Turner, “ I believe
the country will demand the re-election
o f the President; if it should end this
fall,the prosperity that is at hand will
insure Democratic victory next year be
yond a doubt.’ ’ Apparently there is
absolutely no escape. Having honestly
ascribed the present and future pros
perity-in-spots to the war and the
bumper wheat crop, he back-trucks, and
adds: “ There is not much doing in the
lumber line, due to the war.’ ’ The ex
senator plays both ends against the
middle. Up to date every rainbow of
promise painted for the purpose of dis
pelting the blue gloom of the Adminis­
tration has been the work o f some im
pressionistic artist who sports the black
eye of defeat. Impressionism was once
defined by a celebrated painter to be
“ painting things as they aint.’ ’ The
definition is applicable in this instance
President Wilson has invited the
Mouth American goverments to join the
United States in figuring out a plan to
restore peace in Mexico, and the South
American governments have signified
their willingness to co-operate with the
United States in the preliminary stages
o f the movement. This plan looks good
and may bring about peace.
The Portland Chamber o f Commerce
and Senator Lane are looking up the
prospect o f securing a submarine fac­
tory and base at Portland.
In a scrap between a detachment of
U. 8. cavalry and Mexican bandits on
the United States side o f the boundary
line on Monday thirteen Mexicans and
one American were killed.
They hnve gone back to primitive
warfare in another particular. It is
said that the Italians rolled huge rocks
down the mountain side and crushed
10,000 Austrians in their trenches.
Germany stands pat in its diplomatic
correspondence with President Wilson
and the state department. Whnt will
be the next move on the checker board f
Europe’s war loss is said to total
5,290,000. Austria is the worst suf
ferer.
The United States is large enough to
hnve nil kinds of weather conditions in
a single day. For instance, it was
warm and clear and pleasant rn Mon­
day and Tuesday and Wednesday of the
present week at Cottage Grove and the
lower portion of Oregon while in Iowa
si.d the middle west it was -oi l enough
for winter overcoats and fires in the
henters, but in Pennsylvania it was eo
hot that there were sixteen deaths from
santroke in one day. Verily, *he Unit­
ed States is a country full o f varia
tions.
A COMPARISON.
(Editorial in Eugene Register.)
By way of a little study in proper
maintenance, let us take the case o f a
iiian who buys a new automobile. Does
he use up the lubricating oil that is
supplied with it and then let it go un
lubricated until the machinery is des­
troyed by frictionf When a tire is
punctured does he run it flat until 't
is ruinedt When a bolt gets loose does
he neglect it until it falls out and is
lost! In a word, does he buy an ex
pensile piece of machinery and then
ruu it without attention until it is worn
out t
Most certainly he does not. When
his oil runs low he gets more. When
he punctures a tire he repairs it im
mediately. When a bolt gets loose he
tightens it. I f he did not do these lit­
tle things when they were needed his
car would soon be worthless and he
would either have to buy another one or
do without.
Yet in the case o f the public roads
we are following exactly the same
course as the man who would permit
an expensive automobile to go to ruin
for want of a little rare at the right
time. We build a road at great ex­
pense and then hardly touch it until
it has to be rebuilt. Small holes ap­
pear in ita surface that are as certain
as death and taxes to grow into large
ones i f they are not filled up at the
right time, but we let them go on get
ting bigger. Because drainage is inter
rupted water collects in depressions and
although we know that an impassable
mudhole will result if drainage is not
provided at once we do nothing until
we are forced to. By failing to take
the stitch that is needed in time we
make it necessary to take nine.
Because o f this policy o f neglect the
roads cost a great deal more than they
should and are never as good as they
ought to be.
Is it not time to demand a change?
Is it not high time to adopt the patrol
system and by making repairs to the
roads at the time when they are most
needed and will cost the least reduce
the tremendous waste that has been
going on for so many years? The
Register believes it is.

HIGHWAY
t
Eugene Register.— The old military
wagon road up the Willamette, which f
a number o f years ago wus the main
Valley and Eastern Oregon and over
which the supplies from Eugene went
to Klamath Falls and other Eastern
Oregon cities, seems destined to com
into its own again— this time from th
standpoint o f a scenic highway leadin
to one o f the greatest outdoor countrie
on earth. From the little village o
Oak ridge there are three good-sized
creeks emptying into the middle fork
o f the Willamette; good governmen
trails lead into the best o f hunting and
fishing grounds and hot mineral springs
on Salt creek and Kitson creek will
prove a panacea for the “ halt and the
lame.’ ’ These attractions w ill draw
many.
Within two weeks’ time the Southern
Pacific company will have completed
the improvement o f the road to replace
the old one used for its right o f way
It is now building a new road over 'he
second tunnel which will do away with
the one running between the runnel
and the river, which was always dan
gerous.
During the past six weeks the coun
ty, under the direction of Fred Fisk
has spent about $1000 on the rid road
from Cloverputch mountain to rhe sum
mit. Below Oakridge the w ort was
done on the parts of the ro id not used
by the railroad company. Beginning
at Deadhorse bill, one o f the worst
stretches of road and the bane o f a
travelers, for a distance o f six miles,
the rock was blasted out, the grade
widened to 12 feet, and a number of
culverts put in, making a good, smooth
road, over which any automobile may
safely travel. Above Oakridge, begin
ning at Bull mountain, the western end
o f the road was widened, and corduroy
placed over the muddy part o f the
grade. From there on to the summit
all old bridges were replaced and in
numerable fallen trees removed from
the right o f way, insuring a safe pus
sage from Eugene to the summit for
wagons and a fair nutomobile road u
Oakridge and some distance nbov ■*.
A crew of 10 men has covered 55
miles o f road with culverts and bridges
20 miles o f which have been improved
with grading and other mprovement
and about $200 is left with which to
do some graveling this fall.
John Wanamaker wants a Chinese
protective wall around this country, so
that nothing can get in or get out with­
out paying a tax. He wants a higher
tax on imports which we have never
had. He is willing to have both import
and export taxes prohibitive. It sounds
strnnge from the great merchant prince
o f the United States, who is a large
importer, but Mr. Wanamaker is re­
ported as saying these things in a pub
lis speech in Philadelphia. He said:
I believe i f the house we live in is
not safe our first duty is to make it
safe. I believe i f the country we live
is not safe from attack we should
make it safe from attack. I believe
il would be a great thing to h iv e a
high tariff, and make it impossible for
anything to come from abroad. We
should put an export duty on things so
high that they could not be purchased
abroad. * * * It is time to hold what
we have got; we must hold our iron,
our cotton and other supplies.’ ’
This is rank heresy from an import­
er and it ranker heresy to those who
have been talking about our balance of
trade amounting to $1,000,000,000. Sec­
retary Redfield may send a letter o f re­
buke to Mr. Wanamaker, and the cot­

cattle men may rise up and call Mr.
