BOWLBY'S UNJUST DISCRIMINATION
i. i.... ..
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

A few well -oho Mil unminl plants

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,

tunia, cockscomb, larkspur, nastur

Vnrieties in rolor nnd contrast, in
height nnd general effect, should be
studied in placing the plants.
Tho general appearance of plants

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

po-sible to make only the blondest
generalizations here. 1-or localities
