Yeon makes the declaration that all of this has bee,n literary thrown away if immediate steps ;.re not taken to prevent trucks from carrying excess loads and tra veling at a speed of more than 12 miles per hour, ns the luw provides. Mr. Yeon is undoubtedly correct in his deductions to a certain extent, and apparently can see that there i!( going to be a day of reckoning it? state highway matters. Taxpayers are going to become inquisitive. Unfor tunately for them this will not heppen until after the money is spent. Oregon is spending its millions for highways under a system which would not be countenanced for one second by a business concern. The governor appoints three commission ers. They serve without pay, and consequently are answerable to no one. They devote what time they desire to the work and let it go at that. The commissioners have been given such unlimited authority, that it is not surprising that they appear to feel that they may do as they wish with on one to say thpm nav. i The Portland Telegram has a de partment termed "The Fighting Fools," devoted to the boys who won the war. In its issue of August 'JO j it tells of a visit of the home of Cyril Richurdson, a former i Independence boy, now a resident cf Portland.

L KULLANDER JEWELER AND ENGRAVER c 4 ri . main jircci i noneMftin4 As far as the overloading of trucks is concerned, it has been going an for years. This practice is univer sally followed on highway cnotracts. While the practice does not form any excuse for the truck owners or drivers, it is cited merely to show that there is and has been lax observance of law. In fact, there have been times when the highway commission has not conformed to the law, a specific case, being its highway rout ing in Polk county. Notwithstanding all of this, the people of Oregon are confronted with the situation of having had their millions 'spent with very excellent prospects of no adequate return for it. If the truck is the "nigger in the woodpile" then it would appear to be up to Governor Olcott to "smoke him out." INTERESTING FOLKS ARE STOPPING AT AUTO PARK Uur auto park is an interesting place these days. Toward evening, cars bearing the licenses of many a distant state, gather under the trees, tents are pitched, fires are made and meetings exchanged, and a general atmosphere of good fellowship seems to prevade the place. During the past few days, two fam ilies at least, who have been passing the summer on the road, are looking for a permanent location, being at tracted to our valley by its climate and fertility. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lewis, who have lived for several years in the interior of Alaska, have tired of the cold, long winters of the rorth and at the close of summer expect to locate somewhere in the valley and enjoy life. "These few hot days have been hard on us," said Mrs. Lewis, "but our Alaska dog, poor fellow, really seemed to suffer at first, but we're all be coming accustomed to the hot, dry weather and much prefer it to the climate of our former home." W. W. Jordan, whose car carries a Missouri license, left Hickory county in that state the 15th of June and he and the five children have that forest of evil memory a ma chine gun bullet took a great liking to him, and decided to Stick around. It stuck in his left arm. The arm didn't take kindly at all to the bullet, as little Gerald will soon be told, and the doughboy spent many months in hospital. For a time it was feared the arm would have to be chopped off. What would Yvonne say?" he asked the doctor who stood by with a meat saw. "Give it up," replied Doc. "Don't think she would like it at all." advanced Cyril. "Then we won't slice the arm off," said the doctor, as he walked away to take a horseback ride with the the prettiest nurse in the hospital The wing isn't as powerful as used to be, but the old soldier is still able to split the kindling and carry home the bacon. He works in an insurance office here, and his little love nest is at 431 East Tenth street Christian Chnrfh. Victor V. Morris of Eugone will preach both morning and evening in the Christian church.

EXPOSITION CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN PORTLAND Salem Oregon's 1925 exposition will be given its state-wide signifi cance, when a conference of represen tatives of every county in the state will be held in the Multnomah hotel in Portland on September 8. Gov ernor Olcott has reverted back to the war days in the selection of the com mittee, believing that those leaders in each county who so successfully served to "place Oregon to the fore front in all Liberty loan and other war works, would be best adapted to de vise ways and means for financing the great Oregon exposition. In ad dition to calling for the cooperation of the war leaders in each county, the Governor has increased the num ber of counsellors at the meeting re questing several ' state-wide organi zations to send three delegates each. All of the preliminary work in building up the foundation for the exposition organization was done by the people of Portland, but as soon as congress passed the bill authoriz ing the exposition and it was signed by President Harding, thus giving the Social Jiffairs Siiturdiiv las. beinir tb- lirthd;y of Mil.
