Tri Stole snort road meet to tie held in tills oily .Inly 17-18. They were in formed Hint the oonneil would like to jnnke tho move, lint if they did hiilf rt doreu eitirens' would not s-lcop until they hnd nn injunction niraiu.t the payment of the warrant. Hill Vlrioli, who was prcj-ent, served no tice (lint he. for one, would revolt to the courts to prevent the pay ment, hut that he would contribute $10 toward (he plnu. The council wa of the opinion that the city should do somethiuir, and will circulate petitions akinu for contributions. Colonel Sargent said hoMvould give $10, but that the lnw prevented the city from appro priating money for Mieh purposes. Consequently the council will re m.Ivc ils-elf into a committee to so licit fundi to make up the city!, fdwre. A similar amount from the county will he asked. The Tri-Stuto meet will bring to the city tho governors of three Mates, and distinpiished const and national good roads cnthu'.iiists, and the publicity gained will be worth ten times $'XiO. Sargont (ho Watchdog A. F. McLaughlin is an employe of the city street department, and while on his way to work suflercd an in jury that necessitated his going to the hospital for an operation. Ho worked eleven days, the remainder of tho month he was in the hospital When tho city recorder made out his check he made it for tho full month, nnd there, was the rub. Colonel Sargent did a mite of watch-dogging of the city treasury. He did not think McLnughliu should be paid for a full month; it would be a hnd precedent. lie said, with the other members of the finance com mittee, ho approved the bill, but wanted his name scratched off. It was not ripht to pay a man for work he did not do. The matter was put to a vote, and Colonel Sargent was the only one to tay nay. Deny Sewer Hcductton Application of Sacred Heart hospi tal fur a reduction of $'M0 on their sewer nsM'sMiicnt wn denied by the council last night, on tho grounds that tho sewer had been constructed to the ho-pitnl at additional com, by reason of the grade. A new index book costing .-f2."iOf for uo in the treasurer's office to lUt the taxes, assessments, etc., was or dered. Colonel Surgent said he hated "like the dickens to spend this money," but that it was an absolute necessity. Ho said if Iee Samuel should die, or move away, or become sick, there was not n man in this world who could locate any definite information under tho present sys tem. Ordinance Ilcjcctcl A wonderful congregation of words assembled in section (1 of an ordinance introduced in the city council Tuesday night by the Jler Iiiiiitr association, puzzled the oily council to such an extent that it was ordered sent buck to the authors for revision. Tho ordinance was in tended to reguluto transient merch ants by n lieenso fee of .1.')0 per mouth, and if passed, would hit Hill Vlrioli n liar I Mow. Dut because sec tion 0 assayed no iutelligenco that Colonel Sargent could find, it was put over till tho next meeting. Other purls were also jumbled, and at the iini It it was discovered that no two of the duplicate copies rend alike.

CONTRIBUTION AD CONVENTION OF POSTAL HIGHWAY FUNDS TO STATES Senator .Touathan llouruo. dr.. writes us follows in replv to i o.uery regarding potul road funds, under date of Washington. I). C. April HO: ''Replying to your letter relative to the $."00,000 cNpertmontal road fund. The fact of the mailer is that Oregon received a larger portion of this fund than it would be entitled to under nny plan of apportionment that has oor been suggested by hiiv one for the upHrtionuiont of road fund among the stales. It is nlo a fact that many states did not receive any of the funds, nnd some stales received a far larger apportionment than (hey would be entitled lo under any plan thus far suggested. How ever, (his appropriation was made for purely experimental purposes and not as n plan for general and extensive federal aid to road construction. The expenditure of the money was left to (he secretary of agriculture nnd (he Ks(mns(cr general, and tho-o two of ficials are responsible for the man ner in which tho money has been apportioned. Only Throe SlAles Acted "In the first instance, the depart ments mmortioncd $10,000 to each stale, makin $480,000 apMrt'oned, and leaving f'JO.000 for administra tion. Only three states, Oregon, Ala bama and Iowa, took advantage of the provisions under (he original up- vortionmeu( as to all slates that had uot taken advantage of (he orig'nal apH)rlionment. In my judgment (his was inequitable in (hat it excluded the three states (hat hnd (akcu the $10,000 each. Those states should have been given an opportunity to submit proposals for an increase of their aportionmcnt. and should have been given nn increase if (hey could show justification (herefor.

I'ersouallv, I am opposed to this appropriation for several reasons. In the first place, if we are going to adopt a policy of federal participation in road con struction we ought to go at it in a big way and not in such a small way as this. KipcrlnientN Knougli ''The theory of this appropriation is that tho government will ascertain some valuable information by experi mental load construction. The gov ernment bus been building experi mental road-, for u number of yuers, and in my judgment has learned from such construction and from observa tion of construction of state and lo cal roads, all that can be learned lo the expenditure of (he $.'.00,000 or the . 1,000,000 contemplated by the suggested bill. Another objection to it is that it leaves the expeiidituio of the money to the discretion of thu secretary of agriculture ami llin postmantcr general, which leaves op portunity for discrimination such as 'there has been in the past. I believe that if congress appropriates the money at all it should also pi escribe tho manner in which it shall bo ap portioned to thu different sections of tho country. If congress should adopt tho policy of following up tho appropriation of $.'.00,000 by appro priating the $1,000,000, there will next year be a demand for $2,000,000. Too Mudi Fxecutlvo "I have been trying ever since I came to tho senate to arouse mem burs of the legislative branch of gov ernment to lio seriousness of thu tendency (o leave too much lo the discretion of executive (lepiiilnienU. Through the delegation of such dl- oictionnry power and the cxercl-o of (hat power, the executive brunches nic leilain to dominate congic ami Hie dil'Jcicnl stales Willi several million dollar available tor expeudl Idle ill llic dillilciil -tales in siii'll DISTRIBUTION uilUJIur a llicy may derm bet I, I be secielaiy of r.giieultiue and postnms- ter general could practically die'nte to the dit'foioiit slates what road policy they sbnll adopt. I tun un compromisingly opposed lo any such proposition. 1 do not want the state of Oregon placed in n position of having to submit lo a government of ficial hero in Washington in order to secure n portion of the federal road fund. In my judgment, whatever fund is made available for expendi ture in Oregon should be placed un der the control of the highway oflie ials of thai state, under such regula tion as congress niay deem wise, but without anv subservience to a bu reau head here in Washington. "I understand that it is probable that this piovisinu wilt be included in the sundry e'vil bill at (he present session, in which event Oregon would probably be given an opportunity to participate in the co-operative plan of highway construction. Whether it would receive a proper proportion of the fund, or more or less, would de pend upon the discretion of the sec rotary of agriculture and tho post master general. No Additions! (''units for Oregon "For Hie ueent nil funds heicto fore appropriated have been appor tioned to the different states and it is therefore impossible, 1 am told by both the department of agrieultuie and the postofticc department, for any additional apportionment to be made to the suite of Oregon. "I might mid (hat in the last few weeks a number of siu'cchos have been made in public and in the sen ate which indicate that my ooutiiiued protest against delegation of discre tionary K.vvcr to (he departments has been fruitful, and pos-dhly, though not probably, cougiess will proscribe itt th's appropriation how it should bo apportioned among the states. 1 find ititc n number of senators who formerly did not mc much of impor tance in my contentions regarding the dominance of the executive de partments, who now concede that the conditions are becoming serious mid that congress must adopt a policy of prescribing definitely in (he statute books the rights and responsibilities of citizens nnd states in their rela tions with the federal government,, or we shall soon have a government by dictators in practice, if not in name. "Please be assured of my appreci ation of your renewed expression of the friendly attitude of (ho Mail Trib line. With best wishes, I am, Yours verv trulv, "JONATHAN lini'HXK, JK."

You will enjoy the white ness and lightness of bread made with Cottolene Although less Cottolene is needed than either butter or lard, yet Cottolene is so much richer that foods shortened with it are always exception ally tender. It makes all foods more diges tible; Cottolene is more wholesome, more easily assimilated by the human system. Bake bread as you always do, using a third less Cottolene than other shortenings, and add a pinch more of salt. You will be glad of the-i day you began using Cottolene. EggSFAlRBANK?grol CHICAGO ( kttPtlttKV J I Kh CENT AND HALF PER MILE COS! OF DKTUOIT. Mich.. Mav tl.- To the man inclined lo believed that motor oar travel is still somewhat of iv lux ury, figures recently .coined from more than JUKI Owners in Flov eland, showing eonclusivelv that it costs on the average cent and u half n mile to diive one well-known t.vpe of oar in that city, should prove interesting. At present theio are more than l..00 owners of Foul ears in 'Cleve land. Of this number :U7 had owned their ears an average of nine ami u half months, and had kept careful uud complete roooul of the cost en tailed. Faeh of the 111" owners had driven his ear nn average distance of r.'J";i miles. Knell had i allied a load of approximately -III pounds (three persons) (he entire distance. It cost nn average of f.Vi.01! for gasoline per car for the nine uud one half mouths' service. The average expense for lubricating oil dining the same period was $G.'J.S. The average cos( of repairs pet car for (he en tile tieriod of operation was $18,111, lu wear on tire, the shoes of n ear, this paitietilar ear dinned ex ceptionally eeoiioiiiu al. The average life of a sot of tires was ,V'."..I miles. From these figures it appears that it is about us inexpensive to own and drive this tvpo of car as it is to walk and wear out shoe leather, to say nothing of the lime saved and dis tances shortened.
