I'KKMAXKXT .ROADS
A returned doughboy, describing
war emergency road-building in the
fighting area, remarked that the
American engineers got their roads
built in far shorter .time than did
their French allies. Speed was the
essential thing in those days, not
lasting quality. Quite often thei killed
roads were shot full of holes soon I
after their purpose had been accom
plished If not before. But still the
French could not forego their habit
of careful construction for lasting
quality. Returning six months later
over a road, some sections of which
were built by Americans and some
by French, a striking fact was" ob
served. If the road had 'been undis
turbed by enemy shells, the parts
built by French engineers were still
in excellent condition. The Ameri
can roads were wrecks.
Here is a little lesson for home
road-building. Speed is not the
main feature in improving roads and
highways all through the country or
in constructing new ones. In the
past our methods have all too often
been for speed and cheapness, and
the results have been the same as
those in France where a road was
needed only to get supplies through
for a short period.

5 EXT YEAR'S ISSI E
It seems possible, and even prob
le, that the big national issue in
it year's presidential campaign
II be national ownership, or fed-
alization of industries.
The railroad brotherhoods, in de-
i
anding the public purchase and op-
atioh of the transportation lines.
.ve launched a movement of which
one can foretell the end. By
eir own admission, they have
eant their efforts less for the pur
se of forcing a decision this year
an of paving the way for next
ar's campaign. They want to per-
ade one of the big "political parties
adopt their program. Failing in
lat, they plan to launch a' party of
leir own. In this they expect the

ow starting a' similar drive for the

There is talk, too, on the part of

ITALY OUR FRIEND AOAIX
Gen. Pershing has been visiting
Italy, and has met with an extremely
cordial reception. Moat Americans
may be surprised at this, remember
ing the 111 feeling recently existing
In Italy against America and all
things American. Gen. Pershing is
regarded as the representative of the
United States, and the Italians have
sought, by honoring him, to honor
his nation.
So quickly, then, has passed the
cloud of misunderstanding and dis
like which arose from the attitude
taken by the United States govern
ment, and by most of the American
press against the Italian claims in
Fiume and Dalmatla.
The Italian government which put
forth those claims and for a while
won national support for them has
been overthrown. Orlando and Son

FISH !N DIAMOND LAKE
Klamath Falls. Aug, 28. Thous
ands of fish, rainbow trout mostly,
have been killed iy what Is believed
to be an underwater explosion In
Diamond lake, according to Henry
Stout, local game warden, and R E.
Clanton, state master fish warden,
who have returned from the lake.
The cause of the phenomenon prob
ably never will be known but Stout
believes that some disturbance In the
laTte bed, general throughout the
lake took place a few days ago.
This theory Is based on the fact
that the water in every part of the
lake is slightly muddy, although It
was clear heretofore, and on the fact
that fish were discovered dead In all
parts or the lake. The number of
trout killed runs up Into the thou
sands, ranging from eight inches to a
foot and a half In length.
The theory that any person used
dynamite In Diamond take Is scouted.
"It would have taken tons of dyna
mite to kill the number of flHh we
saw floating a1out the lake," said
Stout. "It Is certain that the explo
sion oi cured prior to last Monday,
but how loifg before that Is un
known." The members of Stout's party be
sides Clanton were: John Ramsbell,
R. E. Hunsaker, Charles Slmnnds
and George Chambers.
