llardninii, Or., Jan. 20. (To the
Kditor) Now that the lloppner
Spray road has been put on the roa
map us a fju-eht road it behooves the
people of lieppner and Monow coun
ty to get busy ami get this road go
ing. The stale of Oregon wilt get this
year about 11,000.000 for post and
tort-st roads and we people who are
interested III the lleppnei Spray road
t-lituihl Ket busy and take steps to
hae some money spent on this road.
Now, if you will take your road map
you will readily see the immense
mileage of roads this cutoff would
connect up.
This road should be built by all
means ami at once and not force traf
fic going to and from the interior ti
go SO miles out of the way in order
to get to the rullroad.
The route of this road passes
through one of the finest bodies of
timber in eastern Oregon and would
Kive a needed outlet to wood and
lumber. There are now two sawmills
landing idle on the route of this
road becaune of bad road conditions.
Last summer a government locator
find myself spent four days walking
over the proposed road and wo four-;!
that the road can bo built, on ;
per cent grade except, one short piece
of about one-half mile and that
would be less than 5 per cent. Th
eoveiTiinent road locator told me that
in ten years' experience locating
roads in mountainous countries this
road promises easier construction
than any route he has ever investi
gated, there being only one-fourth
mile that would be called heavy co'
struction and that would not be ex
cessive. Now let us all got together and
pull together and get this project
started as it will take united action
on the part of the people interested
to get early acion. Let us keep it
before the government officials so
they will see the necessity of this
road being built.

TALKS TO LEGISLATORS
Continued From Page One)
That is to say, Section II, of the
Eighteenth amendment divides the
responsibility. Practically all of the
states have enacted appropriate legis
lation to this end, and it is certainly
most, desirable that those states
which have not. enacted such legislation-should
speedily take that step.
"I desire also to call your attention
to Hie fact that the Harrison narcotic
act. is adminisered by my department.
Quite properly the narcotic, traffic
is today attracting tremendous inter
est, all ovel- this great, land. While
I am most appreciative of the great
arousal of the people on tin1 question
of narcotics, I am at the same time
thoroughly convinced that there is no
great, increase in the use of narcotics
in America. Conditions are bad
enough as they are hut not. as bad as
some try to depict. Our narcotic ap
propriation is and has been, in my
judgment, entirely inadequate. We
have only about 175 field men, and
only f.750,000 witli which to conbat
this evil.
"The greatest obstacle to the ef
fective enforcement of the Harrison
narcotic act. is the smuggling of these
drugs from foreign countries, and
the distribution thereof throughout
the United States which has increas
ed, no doubt, since the required ac
countability has been Increased for
legitimate handlers of the inhibited
drugs; and a more drastic policy
with regard to the soulless trafficker
in deadly drugs has been adopted.
With regard to this feature of en
forcement of the Harrison narcotic
law, reference should he made to re
cent legislation, The Drugs Import
and Kxport Act, approved May 26,
11122, and familiarly known as the
Jones-Miller bill. This legislation
was introduced in connress and un
tiringly sponsored by Senator Jones
and Representative Miller, both of
the slate of Washington. Kef erf nee
to this act as amending 'the narcotic
law' has created the erroneous Im
pression that it amended the Harri
son narcotic law, whereas it is a con
tinuation and extension of the act of
February 0, 1!)0!I, entitled 'An Act to
Prohibit the Importation and Use of
Opium for Other Than Medicinal
Purposes,' as amended by the net of
January 17, 11)14, which is a cus
toms act and is administered and en
forced by the narcotics control hoard
created by the net and the customs
division of the treasury department.
The drugs import and export act is
proving effective and In so far as its
enforcement curtails the smuggling
of narcotic drugs into this country,
to that extent it will aid the internal
revenue bureau in the enforcement of
the Harrison act.
"It will be of particular Interest
to you to know of the results secured
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1 022. In the states of California,
Washington and Oregon, which are
all in the San Francisco narcotic en
forcement division. In the state of
California there were !!4H cases re
ported against unregistered parties
and 18t! convictions were obtained
which resulted In sentences totaling
124 years and total lines of Jt 4 :? . f. S 0 .
in ine slate or Oregon there were
reported and pending from the pre
vious year Ufi cases. Sixty-four con
victions were obtained which result
ed in sentences aggregating over 54
years and fines of fi.fiaO. In the
state of Washington there were 233
cases reported during the year, and
convictions obtained in 17S cases
which resulted in sentences Imposed
of approximately liO years with fines
of seme $6. 300.
"While the drug situation Is al
ways what might be termed alarm
ing, there Is ample Justification for
the statement that general conditions
are Improving."
I'lEUCE ASKS ROAD MKX
TO HK.MAIN OX JOU
The bill introduced In the legisla
ture last week by Representative
Lewis providing for immediate cessa
tion of all highway construction
work In the state la doomed to an
early death, according U recent ad
vices from Salem.
During the recent campaign Mr.
Pierce and his supporters criticized '
the members of the highway conmiis- j
sion and their v.crk very severely,
and after the election the menibr rs !
of the commission very properly ten-i
dir' d the governor their resignations'
to lake effect at the governor's pleas-j
m e at any time on or before April i
1, 1D23.
At the recent meeting of the co
mission in Salem, Governor Pierce in
terviewed the commissioners and re
quested them to remain on the job
until after the legislature adjourned
so that. In the event o fthe governor's
measure providing for a paid com
mission passes, he would have time
to select a suitable man for the place
from the many politicians who will
no doubt be seeking the position. In
reply to the governor's request,
Chairman Booth, speaking for him
self and his colleagues, told the gov
ernor that If all work is to storp
there could be no further need for
them remaining on the job and that
they would have to Insist on being
relieved of their duties at once. Mr.
Booth explained the highway situa
tion to the governor, showing him
how months of work has already
been given to working out next sea
son's activities and that to stop
everything at this time would not on
ly disjoint the entire system of car
rying on the work but would entail
heavy and unnecessary loss on the
state.
The governor was evidently im
pressed with Mr. Ilooth's statements
and at the close of the conference lie
requested tile commissioners not only
to remain on the job but to carry or.
the work according to their present
plans. The conference was amicabh
and the understanding arrived at will
no doubt prove of value to tha state
in that the regular program can be
carried out without costly delay.

BEFORE STARTING TO BUILD
Expert of Federal Department of Com
merce Gives Some Good Advice
on the Subject.
Nearly every American family
should plan to own a home, hut the
family should first know how to nuance
a home, In the opinion of Dr. John M.
dries, chief of the building and hous
ing division of the Department of
Commerce.
Therefore, ns the chief contribution
of the Department of Commerce to the
nation-wide "Better Homes" week,
Doctor dries gave advice to the Amer
ican people ou "how to finance a
home."
Four fundamental Ideas should b
kept In mind in preparing to buy a
home, Doctor Grles believes:
Know exactly what you buy and how
to buy It.
Know exactly how yeu are going to
pay for your home.
Beware of how and where yon se
cure loans on your home.
Be sure and ask youruelf how much
you cau afford.
Kansas Builds Floral Roads.
Floral highways are being estab
lished lu Kansas to the memory of tha
soldiers who laid down their lives in
the Spanish-American war. The Uiw
worlal highways will be lined on each
side with flowers of grWt range of
six and colors, and those who pass
and repass along the roads will have
brilliant and fragrant reminders that
republic are not ungrateful. The
boy scouts of the state will plant the
seeds. They will take packages of
thorn on every hike and plant them
along the roadsides. Preference will
be given to flowers that will reseed
themselves, so the groat hulk of the
initial work will not have to be re
peated. Of course some of the seed
will fall on uufrlendly soil, and , In
such cases the boy scouts will repeat
the sowing. Patrols will he organized
to Inspect the llorul lines und keep
them In seed.
House, Garden Should Accord.
In the development of private gar
dns it frequently happens that the
Construction of drives and walks, of
walls, tarraeet, steps and balustrades,
of fountains, rills and swimming pools,
game courts and other recreational
areas ; also belvederes or casinos will
go on simultaneously with the erection
of the residence and related build
ings. It la desirable and strongly advis
able in such cases, that the owner,
architect and landscape designer have
early conferences on the ground so
that tha resulting work may be satis
fying and coherent. A house and Its
gardens should be suitably married,
and both should fit naturally Into the
neighborhood, free from discordant
contrasts or ostentation.
