C TATE TREASURER KAY in a speech at Hertford M before tho voting of the highway boii(s, promised for tlio state highway commission lull co-operation ami state aid in the construction of tho Pacific highway. Tho prom ise was the more emphatic because Jackson county hnd taken tho lead among the coimties of Oregon and was 'the first county to bond itself for a state highway, and bonded itself for a larger sum than any other county. This promised co-operation was forthcoming at once, as the state took charge of the engineering work and con tributed to tho amount spent a year ago. Unable to ascertain from the slate highway engineer the amount to be spent in Jackson county, the estimate of which diminished With his overy visit here, County Judge ToU Vclle mot with the state board last September and a definite agreement was reached that $70,000 of tho road fund of 1914 was to be spent in Jackson county uuder the direction of the state highway engineer. A resolution to this effect was passed, in which it was stipulated that the portion of the money not expended in 1914 was to bo ex pended iu 1915 from the funds then available, amounting to $10,000. In recommending to the state highway commission thp apportionment of state funds for the various counties dur ing 1915, State Highway Engineer Howlby has ret'om- meiHIea but $40,000 for Jackson county, and in this $40,000 he includes tho $10,000 which was promised to our county last year. This would make but $30,000 for Jackson county tins year. Tins notwithstanding the tact that the commis sion is pledged to spend the $10,000, and by the Vawter bill, passed by the legislature. $45,000 additional. Clatsop, which voted $100,000, received more money last year than Jackspn county, and Major Bowlby recom mends an additional $40,000 for this vcar. Columbia county, which voted $300,000 bonds, received ovor $20,000 last year, and Major J30wlby recommends an additional $60,000 for this year. Hood River county voted but $75,000, and Major Bowlby recommends $50,000 for this year.- Douglas county voted no bonds, and Major Bowlby recommends the expenditure of $20,000 for this year. Sher man count voted no bonds, but approximately $35,000 was spent there upon Major Bowlby's recommendation last year. In addition, $20,000 is recommended for scattered projects. t According to press reports, at a meeting of the state highwav commission this week, Treasurer Kav called Ma jor Bowlby's attention to the law directing the expendi ture of $45,000 in Jackson county this year, as well as the board's agreement to spend $10,000 to make up for the deficiency from last year. Mr. Bowlby favored the repudi ation of this agreement and the ignoring of the new law, contending that the law did not direct the board to spend 20 per cent on the Siskiyou grade, but limited the amount expended to 20 per cent. Mr. Kay insisted upon living up to agreements and to the intent of the law. In this he will undoubtedly have the support of the other members of the board, Secretary Olcott, who was party to the agrecriient, and Governor Withycoinbe, who verbalfy promised all possible co-operation to Jackson county. It is hard to understand Major Bowlby's attitudo in endeavoring to give Jackson county the worst of the deal. He. has had sole charge of the highway work here, and if the money has not been wisely spent he can blame no one but himself. But he claims good results have been ob tained. Why, then, does he use his official position to prevent the board's living up to its agreement? Why does he discriminate against Jackson county? It would appear that Major Bowlby is chiefly inter ested in the Columbia highway and concerned mainly in its construction. As the central Oregon route is a fecdor for the Columbia highway, he writes to friends to take this route and avoid the Pacific highway. The $35,000 spent in Sherman county was for a grade to reach the central Oregon road from the Columbia, where Sam Hill has in stalled a ferryboat to connect with his property at Mary hill. While Major Bowlby was, booming the central Oregon route and favpring the Columbia highway in state expendi tures, Sam Hill was in San Francisco urging in press, on lecture platforms and at banquets, automobile and exposi tion tourists to use the central Oregon route to the detri ment of this region. The Mail Tribune has no sympathy with tho fight waged upon Bowlby by the contractors, as it is inspired by scltish motives. It views also as without justification, Mr. Bowlby's amazing attempts to cripple highway con struction in Jackson county by diverting funds pledged to the countv by legislature and highway board. Such action is calculated to alienate from him all those who have hitherto supported him in Jackson county.

Annual Plants for Newly Graded Ground (bulletin U. S. Peparliuent of Agri culture.) WASHINGTON, I). C, Miireh IS. A few well -oho Mil unminl plants placed on newly vruded grounds will do much to take the phieo of trees, and shrubs until iho latter may have time to grow, aouordmg to the I'nited States department of iigrieiilture'.s specialist. It is often a nucstioti iu a now community where tdow-grow-ing vegetation has not had an oppor tunity, as to what may be done to make grounds eem les bare. A lawn can ho made in a few weeks and its nppennincc may be greatly increased by the addition of a few well-chosen annuals. The specialist suggests ns particu larly suited for jhis purpose tho fol lowing plants, which may be grown in most parts of the I'nited Stutes: Tnll foliage plants Castor bean, caladiuin, cnunn. Tall flowering plants Cosmos, scnrlQt sage, sunflower. Border plnnf Altcrnnnthcrn, nlyssunif ngeratum, coleus.

Tho general appearance of plants on the. home grounds or in the gar den irf more or less dependent upon the condition of nearby lawns. Lawns are the foundation of all decorativo planting. A good, well kept lawn contributes more to the beauty of grounds than nuy other single factor. For Ibis reason, spe cial attention should be given to the grading, cultivation and enriching of the area lo bo devoted to the lawn. After good preparation como good seed and care. The variety of soils which will be encountered and the special treat ments which Ihcy need render it po-sible to make only the blondest generalizations here. 1-or localities north of St. Louis, Mo., and Hleh iiioml, Va., lawns can he formed chietly of bluegrass, red top and white clover. South of this point Hertuudn grass nnd St. Aucustiuu grass will have to he relied upon chiefly, al though it is said that In some places alfalfa has been employed with good results. The Tnited Stales depnrtment of agriculture has a bulletin on "Lawn Soils and Lawns'' (Xo. -11)1) and a bulletin on "lieautifying the Home Grounds" (No. 185), which will be sent to applicants as long as the sup ply lasts.
