The question that is foremost in the minds of the people in re lation to this meisure and the one most frequently asked is this Where will the 6,000,000 be spent and how much road will itbuiid? Subdivisions 1. 4 and 5 of Section 6 of the act ptovide that out of the funds derived from the sale of bonds enough thereof to build a Daved road in the counties of Clatsop, Columbia, Hood River and Jackson be paid these roads,, except that the paving companies have provided that part of it shall be hard sur faced. We do not know what material will be used in the build ing of the post-roads or forest roads. If the post-roads are to be built of ordinary dirt, proper GEORGE B. DUKEK SELLS FINE MAYVILLE RANCH Geo.

If the material usfd is dirt and rock it would be a good road, depending upon how it is built, but the cost thereof would be at least several thousand dollars per mile, and if so, the bill does not provide for enough money with which to build the roads that are designat ed in the bill.

Mi.jvwv ai the expense of the people of , that helped father the bill ever the state as a whole and not one;contemplated that it would begin dollar of the money of the var ious counties last above mention ed is to be paid for that purpose. i m -1 How many miles of road there are to be paved in those counties before the roads there are com pleted I do not know. I do know that the roads in these counties will cost on an average of at least $8,000 per mile, as portions of it in Hood River county will cost as much as $25,000 per mile be cause of the rugged work to be done there, and when the matter is all averaged up it is question able whether $8,000 Der mile will care for the cost. It will be noted from the bill that there are roads of first im portance, but there is nothing in the bill that provides that roads of first importance shall be first constructed. There is opportun ity for rank discrimination in the building of the various roads designated in the bill. Then again if the people vote favorably on the bill and the monev i partly spent and the next legis lature desires to change the law so that eastern Oregon is cut out entirely, we are helpless as we are in the minority in the vote of the state. We all believe that the new State Highway Commis sion will mete out justice to all parts of the state. But they will be powerless if the next legisla ture passe3 a law making it com pulsory to construct certain roads in western Oregon first. There is nothing in th bill showing the composition of the material with which to make to build half the road designated therein. As far as Gilliam County is concerned it will not get any paved road for the simple reason the bill provides that no paving shall be done by the Highway Commission until the base for such paving has been first laid at the expense of the county in which the paving will be done. And such a base will cost not less than $6,000 per mile, and since about 30 miles will be re quired from the west to the east end of the countv. we cannot build it, because it exceeds in cost the amount of money that could be raisedlmder the consti tutional limit which would be about $100,000 hence we will have to content ourselves with post-' roads and at the same time help pay for the paving of which wo will get nothing in our county. Do not understand that I am against good roads as I am heart-! ily in favor of good roads. But I what I contend is that we can- j not build a system of roads that ! will cost $50,0)0,000 for $6. 000,000 ' and if not, what is the scheme! behind the bill? I venture toj say, that if this bill passes in its J present form, and the monev provided therein is spent we will j have in this state a system ofj roads partly completed. Then what will the people do about it? Will you stay with the road building game like the gambler does with his came of noker who has lost or rather invested recipe for poison for ground squirrels. The Union also asked Mr. Ward to speak to the farm ers in Condon on April 21 on the subject of eliminating the eauir- rel pest. Following is the recipe sent by Mr. Ward and given here for the benefit of the farmera: Directions for Poisoning Ground Squirrels Mix 1 tablespoonful of dnss starch in 1 2 teacup of cold water and stir into 1 2 pint of boiline water to make a clear thin paste. Mix 1 ounce of powdered Rtrvrh- nine (alkaloid) with 1 ounea nf ! baking soda (bicarbonate) and stir the starch to a amrwith creamy mass free of lumps. Stir in 1-4 pint Of heaw Corn svrnn and 1 tablespoonful of irlvcerine and finally 1.. viws wi s A . a t of saccharine. Apply to 20 quarts of oats or wheat nnrl mix thoroughly to coat each kernel. bach quart of Doisonert o-min is sufficient for 40 to 60 baits. This quantity, scattered 1 tea spoonful to a place, along squirrel trains or on cles-n hard Burfar near the holes will not endanger stock.
