PASS OPENING PROM PARMER’S STANDPOINT
An early opening of the McKenzie pass is a possibility
this year if adequate equipment were provided by the high
way depart incut. The McKenzie is a eomtuepeial highway
as well as a tourist or pleasure route for automobile
travelers.
Eastern Oregon is a potential m arket for much of our
early green vegetables grown in ihe valley. McKenzie peo
ple tell us that in years the pass opened early much tru c k
ing of garden stuff went over Ihe m ountain to the country
where gardens were just being planted. This is a m arket
worth developing ratlm r than have it supplied by the
Yakima vaJley. While there are other reasons than the
farm er’s for opening the p a st. this reason should not be
overlooker.
•
SPEED
The year is only three months old. but already two of
the world's speed records have been broken and others are
threatened. Gar Wood drove a speedboat 102 miles an hour
a t Miami the other day. Not long ago Captain Malcolm
Campbell drove an automobile 245 miles an hour. If this
sort of thing keeps up throughout the year. 1931 will be
the speediest twelve-month in history.
There are some higli records to be challenged. There will
be another airplane race for the Schneider Cup this year.
The present record for sjteed in the air is held by Flight
Commander A. H. Orlebar of the British air forces, who
flew at 357.72 miles an hour in a seaplane in September.
1929, winning the Schneider trophy. That is the fastest
any man has ever travelled, according to records, though
it was rumored that Orlebar had touched 450 miles in his
trial flights. Airmen are predicting that an official record
above 400 miles an hour will be made this year. The record
of the Europa for the fastest ocean passage. 4 days 17 hours.
6 minutes. Cherbourg to New York, will surely be shot at
this year.
With so many speedsters turning their attention to flying
and speedboating, the older forms of competitive locomotion
are being more or less neglected. No pacing horse has
beaten the record of a mile in 1 m inute 55 seconds, set by
Dan Patch in 1906, while Peter M anning’s trottin g record
of 1.56aq for the mile, made in 1922, rem ains unbroken.
No human has propelled himself faster for a mile than
Paavo Nurmi did in 1923, w hen he negotiated the distance
in 4 m inutes 10.4 seconds, and Edward T olan’s record of
9*^ seconds for the 100 yards, made two years ago. still
stands.
Everybody has a chance at some world’s record or other,
but let us hope that the w eather man won't try to break
last year's drought record.

“AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION”
The annual doctors' bill and medicine cost per family
illness in the United States is $82 and a loss of wages is
$42, according to the census bureau. With our mild climate
in Oregon we should be lower than the average, but, think
what we might do in reducing these figures if we would
only exercise ordinary judgment in caring for our bodies.
Sickness is an economic waste.

A lot of the talk about a referendum on the McKenzie
boating fishing bill, w hich prohibits boats above Blue River,
is horse feathers, in our judgment. Surely it would be
imposing to submit a question of this kind at election time

AOTOCAfTfft WAfWNGTON BUREAU
Washington. Apr 2—( Autocasterl
—Congress passed exactly thirteen
acts which have a bearing on farm
ing The most important was the
appropriation for the Department of
Agriculture of $.369.636.000 for 1931.
which includes the money for regu
lar and emergency road construc
tion and for drought relief, and
$333.393,990 for 19.32 which includes
$143,009.999 for highway work The
act licensing all dealers tn fruits
and vegetables is of perhaps as
much*importanre tn the long run
The rest of the thirteen can be
dismissed as of slight Importance.
Up to Mach 10. a tittle over ten
million dollars had been lent to
farmers in Ihe drought regions out
of the $46.000.000 appropriated for
that purpose. Loans to 69.363 farm
ers had been approved on that date.
Amos W. W. Woodcock, director
of the Bureau of Prohibition, got
an appropriation from Congress of
enough to hire 500 additional spe
cial agents. He Is putting 350 of
these into training for "undercover"
work, to mingle with violators of
the prohibition laws and discover
where and how they operate. He
also plans to buy $50.000 worth of
new automobiles, for the use of en
forcement agents. The Bureau now
has 750 cars, all of which It ob
tained by confiscating them from
persons using them for the trans
portation of liquor.
The largest single contract ever
let by the United States, or by auy-
bodv else, for that matter, was
signed by the Secretary of the In
terior the other day. It Is for $45.-
S90.999 and is for the construction
of the Hoover dam at Boulder. Colo.
The contractor is a corporation
known as the Six companies, hav-
¡ng been formed for this purpose
hy six large contracting firms. The
45 millions is for engineering and
labor anly, the government being
obligated to furnish all of the ma-
terials. which will run to more than
the labor costs.
