G.-As one of the engineers of Califor nia'n State Highway Commission, N. U. Charman, an Oregon grad uate in engineering of the class of '10, will have some voice in the spending of $18,000,000 on state road improvements. Cali fornia has bonded herself in that amount for the completion of her mad program before the opening of the Panama Exposition in 1915. This work is already moving briskly. The State Highway Corn- mission of California is super vising the construction of CO miles of the new concrete country road. The university department of engineering reports that the use of concrete for the country roads is very rapidly increasing. The State Highway Commission of New York is this year construct ing 200 miles of concrete roads; one county in Wisconsin has "16; miles; and Wayne county, Mich-1 igan, now has a total of 73 miles, fn snm cases ft very thin bitumi nous wearing surface is added, while in other cases the traffic is borne directly by the concrete.

Whereas, The growth and prosperity of a state depend to a great extent upon its manufactur ing industries for the reason that the factory converts the raw ma terial of the forest and stream and farm and mine into products of higher value, giving employ ment to thousands who would otherwise have no means of livelihood. Whereas, It is only by arous ing the people to the importance of creating and patronizing home industries that we can hope for success along these lines; Therefore, In view of the fore going premises, I, Oswald West, Governor, by virtue of the author ity in me vested, do hereby pro claim Thursday, November 21, 1912, as Home Industries Day. To make this day an impressive object lesson to the whole State there should be some concerted action toward increasing the de mand for Oregon made products. To this end I would suggest that every manufacturing establish ment in the State close down for an hour during Home Industries Day and the managers call their employes together and give them a heart to heart talk on the im portance of building up our home industries and set an example by declaring their intention to use, as far as practicable, only home grown products and home-made machinery in their establish ments. I would suggest also that on Home Industries Day every man and woman in Oregon, in doing their shopping, purchase only made-in-Oregon products. Mer chants should help by making at tractive window displays of such products. I would also suggest that the subject be discussed in our public schools and institutions of learn ing, in order that it may be im pressed upon the mind of the voung, for the time will come when these same children must have employment, and unless they can find it with the indus tries of our State they must seek it in other states. Success along these lines can only come through the hearty co operation of all good citizens, and I bespeak for the cause such co operation. In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the State of Oregon to be hereunto affixed this seventh day of Nov., A. D. 1912. Oswald West, Governor. Attest: Ben W. Olcott, Sec retary of State. Wireless Amateurs at O. A. C. Corvallis, Or., Nov. 12-A wireless message sent from San Diego station, 1400 miles south of Corvallis, was heard distinctly by Joe Hallock, a junior, and Cliff Watson, a freshman, both electrical 4 engineering students at the Oregon Agriculture Col lege from Portland. They had temporarily hooked up to a tree in fro it of the Gamma Upsilon House, a 30-foot single wire aerial, to call "some of their friends who are, operating Marconi wires along the coast. They also picked up Victoria, B. C, San Francisco and several steamers. . Daddy Longlegi. MoBt people are acquainted with the insect called "daddy longlegs," but not everybody knows that there is evidence to show that this strange little creature, towering high above its fellows on its thread like stilts, is probably a more an cient inhabitant of America than any representative of , the human species. Far back in tertiary time, at the very dawn of the modern world, its ancestors lived, we are told, in great numbers in that part of the continent which we call Colo- ifollc-ioplfoj-f Preferred Stock, The World's Standard Brand Groceries Chase & Sanborn Teas and Coffee which have no equal Heinz'S Pickles, That cannot be purchased only of us.
