Phone 124 Hood River, Oregon 1,500 LABORERS ARE WANTED LN OREGON If you look at the ordinary country road atfer a shower you will see small puddltt along the wheel ruts and some times larger pools. This water atays on the road surface because it cannot .(,.; qu.hu into the side ditches. If you look closely you will see aide ditch es which have grown up with bushes r,.i in n.anv cases, and which are bo far from the traveled part of tt, rmH that the rain water does not drain into them. That part of the roadway where the wagons travel is called the traveled way. I o prevent ,ut..r from etandine on the traveieu way the road should be raised in the center and should slope gently into t.r..urt hl ow ditches. It is men saia to have a crown. If it is 10 feet from the renter of the road to the side ditch, the surface at the side ditch should be at least 10 inches lower than it is at the center where the horses travel. The road then has a 10-inch crown. The rain that falls on a road properly crowned will run quickly to the side and not Boak into the surface or form pools. The Bide ditches for surface water should run parallel to the right of way. and should be open at every low point so that the water can run out of them into neighboring brook or Btreams. If the ditches merely collect the water from the road Burface and it cannot run away, large pools will be formed along the roadside, which will gradually soak into the soil beneath the road and make it so soft that the wheels of wagons will cut through the road surface and soon destroy it. Sometimes water runs from land along the road into the road and forms a little stream down the wheel tracks or in the middle where the horses travel. When driveways into farm yards are built across the side ditches they frequently form channels for water from the farm yard to run into the road. The pipes under driveways become filled with leaves or rubbish and the water can no longer run away. If the driveways that Btop the ditch water were rebuilt bo that no pipes were necessary and the ditch could be leit open, much trouble from surface water would be stopped. Sometimes a road runs across low ground or through a swamp where the road can not be drained by aide ditches alone. If the road were built higher like a railroad embankment across such low land and made with a crown, it would be dry and hard. Sometimes a road passes through what is called a cut. This iB a place where the earth has been dug out so that the road can go over a hill without being too steep. Th. mulur uihifh hIwHVH flows (lUietlv under the ground on hill sides is known an around water. In road cuts such water sometimes makes the road very muddy, and the road then needs what road builders call under drainage. A good kind of underdrainage is a trench to go along under the side drain and about three feet deep and a foot and n half wide. In this trench a pipe is laid near the bottom and covered with loose stones no bigger than an egg. When the trench is completely filled with loose stones the eround water, instead of soaking into the roadway, will stop amoni? the stones and now down the hill through the nine. To keep a road smooth and crowned the best method is to drag it with a road dra?. A road drag is made easily with two halves ot a log wnicn nas been split. The log should be about six or eiiiht inches in thickness and about six or eight feet long. The two halves of the log are set three feet apart with the smooth faces forward and upright. They are then fastened together with braces set in holes bored through the log. A pair of horses mav be used to drag the road and are hitched to a chain fastened to the front half of the log. The road drag should move forward so that it slants across the road in such a way that a small amount of earth will slide past the smooth face of the log toward the cen ter of the road, thus forming the crown. The edges of the logs will smooth out the ruts. The best way to drag is to begin at the side ditch and go up one Bide of the road, and then down the other. In the next trip the drag should be started a little nearer the center and the last trip over the road the drag may work close to the center itself. Small ridges of earth will be throw in the horse track and smeared by the round side of the log smoothly over the road, lhe smearing of the earth by the drag is called 111111(111111!" and it tends to make the surface of the road smooth and water titrht atfer the sun cornea out. lhe road is always dragged after it has rained and not when it is dry. A good atronu nair of horses with a well built dran can drag about three or foil miles of mud in a day, and it is the best way to maintain good roads. In everv county some farmer along eacn four miles of road should own a drag and drae the road when it rams. II would always find the road in good condition when he goes to market. Owing to the fact that many rura schools were closed at the time wh the prize maintenance essay was an nounced by Director Logan Walle Pace, of the Office of I'ubilc Koads it has been decided to extend the limi for receiving the essays to October IT), l'.li:!. In addition to the gold meda given as first prize, two silver medal will be given as second and third prizes. If a child who has submitt one essay previous to the issue of thi notice should eare to try again, he I at liberty to do so. but he must be pupil of a rural school. There is some misunderstanding in regard to the sub ject of the essay. The idea is to set the children to thinking how to better their earth roads with the material they have at hand. (Oregonian) Wanted 1500 laborer to work lb logging camps, construction camps ana n harvest tielus. wages, .au tor Huv nf nine hours. Employers were aeeKing on me streets last week for unskilled men to go to work. The wage scale ia higher now than at any time in recent yeart. While unskilled labor is in steady de mand, the same does not bold true in the skilled labor market. Carpenters, bricklayers and atone masons are un able to find employment. Men who have been accustomed to earning from $4 to $5 a day as mechanics naturally are unwilling to go to work for $2.50 a Pale Children Ayv"s SanapariBa helps nature to snake rich, red blood.

They pay 12.50 a day. Men receive free transportation irom ron land or other points on the Southern Pacific to r.ugene, irom wmcn point they are staged to the construction camps. If they remain on the job 30 days or mere they are required to pay no stage fee. Many Portland laoor agents recently have sent men to work on the O.-W. & N. company a new line now being uilt across the state from Vale. Much this labor also is supplied from spo- ane and Salt Lake. There is demand for laborers at $2.50 day in locking camps, but little de mand for skilled workmen. The O-.W. R. & N. company is Jay- ng new steel through the Blue moun tains, and several gangs of laborers ave been sent from 1'ortiand lor that service. Kailroaas recently were try- na to hire 50 Greek laborers, 50 Ital ians, 50 Austrians and 50 Mexicans for track improvements. They were of fered $1.75 a day and lodgings. These men are exnected to board themselves. The rate of pay, together with lodging privileges, it is estimated, will make their income equivalent to $2.25 a day. It was impossible at that time to nil these places. There is not so mucn activity in sewer and street construction work in ortland this summer as in some for mer years, but it is impossible lor con tractors to set enough men. Cities in other parts of the state are calling for men to dig sewers, lay sidewaiKs ana put down street paving. Dallas, Ore., Camas, Wash., and Forest Hill, Ore., have been appealing for unskilled help. the harvest season is at nana ana farmers are looking for hands.

Sociable Rattler at Mosier Rattlesnakes are becoming quite so ciable this hot weather. One day last week a rattler.seeking a cooling drink, strolled into town on a still hunt for a drink of any old thing. His snakeship had reached the back yard of G. R. Wood's property when he discovered an old bucket of paint. Figuring that this kind of nose paint was better than none a all, he proceeded to help him self. Dr. Robinson happened along about then and put him out of busi ness. But say, it's rather uncomfort able to feel that one might run up against a rattler any day, or night, in one's door yard. It would be well to look a little bit out. Mosier Bulletin.

New District is Proposed The county commissioners of Golden dale have eranted the petition of 50 freeholders in the Camas Prairie sec tion of western Klickitat for the for mation of an irrigation district. Boundaries have been established and an election ordered, which will be held on Saturday, August 2, at the residence of Albert Bertschi, near Glenwood. Two-thirds of all votes cast will be necessary to ratify the es- tab ishment of the district. Ten thousand acres of land will come under the project and water will be obtained from Cougar creek and the Big Muddy river. About one-fourth of the land in the proposed district is now under cultivation, and the remain der heim? a sandv loam soil that is highly susceptible to the growing of clover, timothy and alfalfa, demon strated by results obtained from small tracts that are now under water ditches.

It was the first time he had ever required an Abstract. He had an opportunity to make in investment which gave promise of rich returns. It was an unusual chance. He had no ready money so had gone to his bank to get it by placing a mortgage upon bis land. The bank, according to its cus tom, demanded an Abstract and re ferred him to us. Now the man had lived on this land. Me bad paid gcoil money for it. He held a Warranty leed. He thought it was his. It was, but there was a "Cloud u)on the Title" which had to be cleared be fore be could obtain any money ukiu his land. There were "defects in the instruments as recorded which could be remedied only by a decree of the Court. This required time. .Mean while the opportunity for the promis ing investment had passed. This is not fiction. It is not even exceptional. It is the sort of thing that is occuring repeatedly. - You own land in Hood Liver County. You intend, some day, to have it covered by an Abstract Why Not Now? There is nothing to lie gained by delay and may be much to lose. It matters not what you think about your land, your title is only as good as the records show. The business of the Ab stracter is to give you the record of your title. Some people seem afraid to enquire into the title to their land, lliev prefer to play "ostrich" and try to think there can be nothing the trouble with it. When the day comes, as it surely will, that they must have an Abstract they are disappointed that they have to wait for the Abstracter to do his work. But thev can't blame the abstracter. It takes time to pre pare a correct and complete Abstract. Besides there are always other hurry orders ahead which must be finished before new work is begun. It is even more annoying to learn that the title you thought good is imperfect. The trouble may be Blight and of a naturt which could be readily removed, but still sutlicient to cause an exasperat ing delay at a time when one w ishes to make a quick sale or raise monev upon a mortgage. Be wise enough to have your Ah- Btract made NOW, while there is no urgent need for prompt action. Come in and talk to.us aliout it, we may be able to make a few sugges tions of beneht to you. We have been searching Hood River Titles since 18Sti, aud if there is a flaw in the Title we can find it. Hood River Abstract Co.
