HOTS FIRED A T ROOSEVELT GENERAL SURVEY OF CHILO WELFARE Trucking Barred On Scenic Road Through Cascades SEATTLE. Feb 16.— The recent refusal by the Washington State Department of Public Works to al low motor trucks to operate over the new Chinook Highway through the Cascades is a distinct victory for those who have insisted from the first that this highway shall be kept strictly for scenic enjoy ment. Automobile freights be tween Yakima and Seattle and Ta coma will use the Sunset Pass. This ruling against trucks Is held to be in keeping with the pur pose of the Mather Memorial Park way through which the highway runs. The dedication of this park- way was one of the most impor tant accomplishments of 1932, not only for this state, but because It was in the interest of the people of all the United States for years to come. Mayor Cermak of Chicago is Badly Hurt Jail Birds In Sharp Decline It is interesting to note that the number of prisoners In the county jail has decreased to a great ex tent. This is due to the coopera tion and fine work on the part oof al> the courts In this community. Many cases which have been standing for months have been quickly cleared up and the books are fairly well cleaned of cases which will come up soon. It can readily be seen that thinning down the number of prisoners In the Jail will cause an enormous saving to the taxpayers, who at this time are already overburdened WILL WELCOME T Uni' And it we could have a bit of aun- A perfect setting for snow events, This report is a General survey of ___________ y dispositions also, It would help Fort Klamath and Klamath county has kome.
