On the last lap of a tour of In
spection of tho state highways In
Central und Eastern Orogon, High
way Commissioner E. E. Kiddle and
Engineer Herbert Nunn nrrived
hero last Tuesday. During their trip
which Iium consumed tho pant five
days, they havo visited Orant, Klam
ath, Malheur, Lake and Harney
counties, and yesterday came Into
Deschutes on Tim Dallcs-Callfornln
highway from tho south, and, after
spending the night here, went on
thin morning through Jefferson nnd
Wasco, planning to end the trip at
thn Columbia river tonight.
They reported the road, from tho
Harney. line to be very slow, but
from the latter point to Ilend, over
tho now work recently completed,
much better time wan made. In
order to keep the new road In
shape, a plan wan proposed by Mr.
Nunn last night for maintenance
during tho summer, with the com
mission and tho county cooperating,
nnd It in expected that tho plan
will bo adopted.
IJoud Prices Factor.
Although tho commission has re
cently called for bids on several
pieces of work to be dono this
summer, recent developments In tho
bond market and the price situation
nuggcjt the desirability, according
to Mr Kfddle, of proceeding slow
ly with any new work, even though
tho 4 per cent bonding amendment
carried yesterduy, Unusual demand
for labor in other Industries, espe
cially lumbering, is creating a
shortage of labor, which Is ulso a
factor to bo taken into account. At
tho tame time, essential work which
ban been promised by tho commis
sion, It in understood, will be car

WASHINGTON, D. C
(Special). Congressman
nott has been assured by Dr. Georgo
Otis Smith, director U. S. geological
survey, that hln bureau plunn to
have an examination made of all
pending cases of designations under
the Stock-Raising Homestead Act be
fore the end of the present field sea
son. The Eastern Oregon congress
man has time nnd again, of late,
called to the attention of Director
Smith the complaints of settlers
that no action has ben taken on tho
matter of designating their lands
He made a vigorous personal appeal
to director Smith a few days ago
stating that many of bis constituents
complained that their applications
had not been acted upon for three
ycatn. He told tho director that
many people on the frontier of tho
government lands in Oregon had
ben put to a great lnconvcnlenco
becauso of the delay; that they were
reluctant to leavo the lands they had
applied for and were holding on for
dear life, but had almost given up
hope, nnd Insistently urged Director
Smith to do something at onco for
their relief.
In reply to this latest of Innumer
able protests he received a letter
setting out tho purposes of tho bu
reau to hasten action nnll giving
soma Interesting statistics of the
lands under this act in Eastern Ore
gon. In the communication Direc
tor Smith nays In part:
"As you know, the 'Stockra'.slng
homestead law was approved by the
president on December 29. 1916, and
since that date 78.S2G individual pe

SALEM, May 26. That tho load
capacity and speed of trucks must
be limited, if one of tho chief prob
lems now facts! lu the construction
of surfaced highways Is to be solved,
Is predicted by Herbert K, Nunn,
stato highway engineer
According to Mr. Nunn, it Is not
practical to build a highway that
wilt stand up under heavy traffic,
which would necessitate tho expendi
ture of some J40.00Q to $50,000 per
mile of highway. In order, there
fore, to protoct tho highway for tho
use of tho other clasa of motor ve
hicles, tho trucks must bo curbed,
ucordlng to Mr. Nunn.
Under n policy recently adopted
by tho state highway commission,

found thut pnvomont laid on now
