OREGON. MARCH 31 1822 "FISH AND FOWL" One of the provisions of the federal aid road law is that no federal money may be used on a highway where there is a tollgate or a toll bridge says the East Oregonian. Umatilla county people recently ran across that provision very forcibly when funds were asked for a road from El gin to Weston. Because of the pres ent toll road the government would not consider the project at all, even though assured the toll road would be abolished. They literally held up their hands in horror at the thought. But the federal bureau has desig nated the Wallula cutoff as a primary road with the explanation to Senator McNary that "its construction will shorten distance for people living in eastern Washington who desire to go to the coast." Yet to reach the cut off these "people in eastern Washing ton" would have to use the toll bridge across the Snake river at Burbank and the toll bridge acress the Colum bia at Pasco when that bridge is completed. Those bridges would be a direct and necessary part of the highway from that region to the coast. Therefore for them the fa bled cutoff would not be open for free traffic. How docs it happen the federal road men can gladly swallow the tolls feature in order to favor an eastern Washington road at Oregon's expense but could not give the Weston-Elgin road a pleasant smile because there is now a tollgate on that thorough fare? Is it possible that the federal bu reau is so organized that it will do anything, legal or illegal, to promote a tourist road, yet will go to any length to avoid helping a road of ceo nomic importance to farmers and bus iness men? It looks that way. Here is a sane and cheering bit -of optimism as to Inland Empire affairs, from Up-To-The-Times magazine: "Here and there in the farming and business field a failure has occurred and readjustments have had to bi made; but on the whole farming and business interests make an excellent showing an 1 are well qualified to meet any and all eventualities. All predict that the worst is over, and while conditions to be confronted may not be exactly ideal, they are conditions that can be handled and solved by the majority. With times as they are a forward program for the home country is- assured; and with the return of more normal and better times' a speeding up of that program can also be counted on absolutely." B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad shop crafts union, tells the railroad board that a budget of $2637.97 a year is required for sustaining a workingman's family. However, many a workingman's fnmily, and farm er's, merchant's, professional man's, clerk's, teacher's, preacher's or edi tor's family is sustained for less than this. If it could not it would not be thus sustained. The figures will have to be revised downward until the bright millenium comes when every man can work as little as he pleases for as much as he wants. We wonder how Hugo Stinnes won his reputation as a business wizard, if he thinks he can get American business for his new freighters by naming them for German war lords. Harding will not take the stump in the coming congressional cam paign. Perhaps he doesn't know what he could say in behalf of republican candidates for congress. Sam Blythe proposes that both old parties be sent to the scrap heap. Were it confined to the republican party, there would be rare wisdom in the suggestion. Although Mosquero, New Mexico, young men are pledged not to marry flappers, this may not prevent de signing and resourceful flappers from marrying them. The Umatilla Caledonian Society promise to put Athena back on the map as a picnic town. Athena will welcome the Scots as warmly as ever. There may be a change in condi tions in farming communities, as re ported, but what the farmer would like i3 more of it in his pockets. While on his recent visit to Port land, Sir Auckland Geddes enhanced his reputation for wisdom by the things he didn't say. Senator France of Maryland cast the sole vote against the naval limit ation pact. He is without doubt a hopeless minority. A magneto maker has sued Henry Ford for as much money, eleven mil lions, as though his device had gone into automobiles. To be sure, there are too many republicans in this country; but let us be thankful that they aren't Irish republicans. It wouldn't look so foolish if the lappcr could draw her pin money 'rem the roll in her stocking. From the fuss made in Portland, one would suppose that the Rose City had never seen a Garden. Reports of Lenine's imminent de mise again appear to have been dis appointingly exaggerated. New York women may smoke in public. The delight and satisfaction will be all theirs. the means by which he came to his death." Joe Rainville and family are hav ing a good time in Montreal, Canada, where they are visiting relatives. Joe will have an operation performed on his eyes before he returns. Angus Gillis this week moved his carpenter shop building which stood on hii residence lots to his lumber yard on Main street, and will convert it into an office.

Clean-up Day-when? Sheepmen report a normal crop of lambs this spring. The shearing plants will soon be in operation. 24 Years Ago We find an occasional Japanese newspaper complaining that the four power and naval pact is a bad bar gain for Japan, and an occasional American newspaper complaining that it is a bad bargain for America. .The logical inference is that neither is right, and that the conference treat ies will be found of benefit to all the powers concerned, through the re duction of naval armaments and the supplanting of thoughts and fears of war by thoughts and hopes of peace. The desire expressed by Umatilla county democrats at their Pendleton meeting to return to the old conven tion system, is merely significant of the general tendency to want some thing politically that we haven't got. With the successful gct-to-gether spirit generated at the recent school banquet, isn't it pertinent to remark that the same results might ob tain under a series of Commercial -dub banquets? Having cleaned up the district in conference basketball, Athena High School turns its attention to base ball in anticipation of another cleanup. What has become of the socialist party? Mr. Debs would like to lead it 'again. A movement that started some twenty years ago in Pendleton for the construction of a Protestant hos pital there, U being revived.

The health of Melville is greatly im proved. They will reside in town. Mr. W. H. Haws will engage in the agricultural business in Athena. The location of the store room has not yet been decided on, but will per haps be either the Page building opposite the Commerical Livery Sta ble, or Spencer's machine shop build ing. EXTRA Spain has officially not ified the American government that she will make no more concessions. The cabinet officials have been in ses sion all morning. The fleet at Key West is making preparations to in tercept the Spanish flotilla, and the stock markets of the world are on the decline. In all probability before the Tress leaches its readers war be tween the United States and Spain will have been declared. It is repotted that W. f, Rigby, of Rigby Son. has sold the remainder of his wheat, 3000 bushels, on a basis of 65 cents for No. 1 club. The Pac ific Elevator Company was the pur chaser. An active interest was taken by mountaineer republicans in the prim aries at Bingham Springs precinct, there being three separate tickets put out. A tie resulted between Con Murphy and Ben Hagen, who had 12 votes each. They flipped up a half dollar, and the former, who is an Irish republican, won. The verdict of the coroner's jury in the Indian case is that "Onebody" came to his death by violence.
