One copy, one year.... $2-00 One copy, six months One copy, three months 73 Athena, Oregon, June 7, 1929 A FINE. HIGHWAY SYSTEM "Oregon's bond issue for highway purposes has built the finest highway system of any state, taking into con sideration population and car regis tration" stated Dr. E. B. McDaniel, president of the Oregon State Motor Association in a recent address. In 1917 the voters of Oregon authorized the issuance of bonds for highway purposes up to 4 per cent of the as sessed valuation of the state" con tinued the doctor "and of this amount approximately 38 million dollars have been issued but bonds have been gradually retired until at present we owe approximately only 30 million dollars." Oregon has over 3500 miles of im proved highway and when one takes into consideration the short space of time in which Oregon has built these highways, one marvels at the rapid development of the country. In 1904, according to information received from the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, there were only 142 miles of paved roads in the United Slates. Just 25 years later, Oregon has many times the mileage of improved roads in the whole of the United States at that time. o THE PRIZE WINNER A New York judge has been award ed the $25,000 prize for the best temperance plan, sponsored by the Hearst newspapers. The judge's opin ion is that the 18th amendment can not be replaced for many years to come and drawing a distinction be tween distilled and fermented liquors, he says that "distillation is the act of man and has been responsible for practically all the evils which 'liquor' has inflicted upon the human race, while fermentation is the act of na ture, and that to many must mean, in the most reverential sense, the act of God." Therefore, the judge is in favor of light wines and beer, dis pensed under state regulatory meas ures. In other words, the judge lives in New York, and wants his state to legalize him the right to quence his thirst with a beverage that is fer mented wholly by an "act of nature." A wonderfully logical plea on which to win a $25,000 prize awarded for the best plan to promote temperance! election, and Lloyd George is the liberal party. o George A. Parks, governor of Alas ka, may be a resident of the "silent places," but nevertheless he is very much up to date. He uses an airplane for transportation and recently flew from his home in the Northland to the states. 21 Years Ago An act passed by the legislature went into effect Wednesday which makes it harder for drunken automo bile drivers to get by, and hence forth they will encounter more rtevere penalties. For driving while in an intoxicated condition the first olTense, under the new luw, is a misdemeanor, and the culprit is subject to a fine of not less than $100 or more than $500 and, in addition to a fine, the guilty .driver is to spend between 00 days and six months in jail. The second offense becomes a penitentiary offense. The new law declares a second and subsequent offenses as felonies, with the penalty not less than one nor more than five years in the peni tentiary and a fine not loss than $200 nor more than $500. o President Hoover supports the cruiser program on the basis that the law makes it manditory that fifteen vessels shall be constructed. The president's Decoration Day speech is broad enough to permit him to qualify in a stand for disarmament, subject to the desires of other nations in the limitation of navel construction. Hoover stands ready to meet the tilu ation either to build or not to build. o Pilots Robbins and Kelly, who smashed all airplane flights by re maining up 172 hours, were required to do something other than sit in their cockpits and watch the clouds drift by. Daily one or the other of the pilots was required to climber out on a small perch called the "catwalk" to grease the rocker anus of the motor no easy task in itself. o The Supreme Court has given Har ry, Sinclair another jail term of six months for jury shadowing, which will be served concurrently with his present three months' term. Nine months in jail should instill some re spect for the courts in the mind of the millionaire oil man. i o Chicago traders painted a silver lining in the wheat market cloud, when after the price had touched bot tom Monday, it shot up nearly nine cents a bushel. Monday's close shov ed July quotations across the dollur mark again, ending at $1.03Ti. o David Lloyd George, Britian'g mighty little man, is again master of the political situation in his coun ry. The liberal party was given the balance of power in the recent general The fiery cross of the Ku Klux Klan, blazing on the campus of Des Moines University, the school which has been undergoing a series of troubles lately, apparently means that a "cleaning up" process is need ed there. While clearing off the family ceme tery plot, a Marshfield woman found four gallons of moonshine buried in the top of one of the graves. Evident ly the bootlegger who buried the booze was trying to play safe. o It costs something to operate a flivver in France. Gasoline sells for fifty cents a gallon. . At that they occasionally take a joy ride over there. June is probably the most popular month of the year, for the reason that brides and gardensass are pro fusely in evidence. o "South Alberta Soaked," reads a headline. Which leads us to suppose that the people of north Alberta are more temperate. , o The Pioneers were on time with their annual picnic at Weston, ac companied by a million dollar rain. o "Showers of blessing" is what a Walla Walla paper terms the rainfall which visited the valley, last week. o Colonel Lindebergh held all the cards in his hand necessary to make the press gang look like pikers. Recess to be or not to be, is one of the important issues confronting Congress at this time. o Portland autoists buzzed around Sunday on gas at 17 Vt to 21 cents per gallon. vi Athena Garage Friday, June 12, 1908 Every Statement No. 1 candidate elected to the Legislature who has been asked whether he would stand by his pledge and vote for George E.
