Athena, Oregon, July 22 1927
and building a normal school with
funds is materially different. Inas
much as the state is without funds,
we nominate La Grande as the
trouble-shooter to show us how it
can be done. No use putting it up
to Ike; he's carrying a super cargo
already.
DO YOUR SHARE
The Oregon State Motor Associa
tion finds that each individual must
do his share if 1927 is to mark the
most successful campaign ever con
ducted in the cause of safety. Na
tional agencies are preparing to
launch vigorous attacks on the care
less pedestrian and the careless mo
torist and their main objective will
be to gain cooperation of individuals
in both classes. This prospect is
linked up with the season of "good
resolutions" by Mr. George Branden
burg, Secretary, who declares that
"citizens can do more in the inter
est of safety than making and keep
ing a resolution to contribute . their
share by driving and walking in
obedience to the law. Like all other
problems involving the mass, safety
narrows down to the individual. We
can have sound regulations govern
ing traffic and still have the same
number of accidents if individuals
persist in taking reckless chances.
At present, the main issue too often
is lost to sight in the maze of argu
ment that is offered by both sides to
prove the other to blame for the ris
ing tide of highway mishaps. We are
certain to see in 1927 the most in
tensive campaign in the interest of
safety. The American Automobili
Association, with which this club is
affiliated, and other national organi
zations are laying the groundwork
for a nationwide educational cam
paign looking toward individual co
operation in the movement. No
thinking person will question the need
for action. The situation would be
appalling were it not for the hopes
raised by the tremendous amount of
thought given to the subject. It in
up to each individual, old or young,
motorist or pedestrian, man, woman
or child to think safety and govern
his every move on the street or high
way accordingly."
o
OREGON FIRST
The Portland Telegram takes the
sensible view that Oregon's interests
should be served first in develop
ment through railroad building, be
fore acquiescing in the delivery of the
main line of the Union Pacific to
Washington and Idaho. The Port
land paper says:
"Eastern Oregon cities have built
up their case against the building of
the proposed Homestead-Lewiston
line.
"They argue that the railroad is
not at present an economic necessity j
that it would traverse a territory
that would yield the railroad little
tonnage; that the box canyon of the
Seven Devil's Country is desolate and
unproductive.
"The cost of the railroad would be
$20,000,000. It would virtually divert
the main line of the Union Pacific
from Oregon into Washington and
Idaho.
"Portland should study the case of
Pendleton, La Grande and Baker
carefully before joining in the move
ment to force the Union Pacific to
build this line which does not seem
to be called for by present economic
necessity.
"Oregon has much territory that
would produce tonnnge, yet undevel
oped and unserved by railroads. These
districts are calling loudly for rail
road construction.
"If the Union Pacific is to be forc
ed to build railroads against its will,
there are many parts of Oregon, such
as the country between Burns and
Bend, now suffering because trans
portation is lacking.
"It would seem the wis) thing for
Oregon to look after its own I'.rat.''
One of our down state exchanges
says those who consider the art of
government as discovering ways to
impose more taxes on the people
call the late special election "the
wreck of financial measures." The
next device is to say all the high
taxes are voted by the people them
selves, when it is a fact that the
sixteen "measures" were put on the
ballot by the tax promoters and voted
down by the people. Forty-seven
million dollars is now collected an
nually in Oregon under laws enacted
by the state, and nearly as much
more by federal laws.
o
East End people are becoming in
terested in the forest service "sky
line" road which runs along the crest
of the Blue Mountains, to which ex
tensions are to be made, perhaps in
the near future. This route, which
is primarily for forest purposes, in
volves incomparable scenic grandeur
and summer recreational possibilities.
Potentially, the skyline route may ex
tend from near Dayton, Washington,
through Meachara and on to Ukiah.
The Oregon law of compulsory la
beling of market potatoes is a good
one if uniformily enforced, says the
experiment station farm crop special
istgood for grower, the dealer and
consumer. It helps dispose of pota
toes that grade No. 1 or better and
does not prohibit sale of any pota
toes that are fit for food.
The United States has invested in
agriculture $75,000,000,000. It is
the biggest business m the world,
and vet the men who own and op
erate it, have the least to say as to
how it should be run.
o
A bridge 350 feet high, one of the
greatest of its kind in the world, now
spans Crooked River, adding one
more attraction to Oregon's list that
beckons the tourist to the playground
of the Northwest.
o
In building the highways, every
consideration has been given to the
safety of those who use them. Tha
greatest factor of danger now lies in
automobile drivers themselves.
o
Among other things that have come
to La Grande to help make a bettar
town, is an eight-story hotel build
ing. o
Walla Walla has dropped 'n line
and installed stop signals at street
intersections. S'all r-r-ight, if we
see 'em!
Umatilla county will harvest a
good crop of wheat no question
what the harvest will be, but how
about the price?

this bread he would have spread one

cut in single slices the strip tould
have been four miles long, and his
chops, placed end to end, would have
extended two miles. Twenty ordinary
