MITCHELLS POINT SUR FOR GOOD ROADS PASSES AXENSTRASSE From the Monier Bulletin L'pon the teceipt of a letter from State Representative J. L. Kelly to ; J. K. McGregor, setting forth the need of a Wasco County good roads club, Mr. McGregor at once took up the matter with local citizens, and as a j consequence 17 good roads enthusiasts i motored to The Dalles last Friday ! evening, where they met with 53 busi-' ness men and farmers from The Dalles, Dufur, Maupin and other points in Wasco county. One of the most suc cessful good roads meetings ever held in Wacso county then took place in the Hotel Dalles. The first speaker of the evening. J. K. McGregor, who has long teen an enthusiastic good roads booster, when called upon gave a rousing talk couched in clear, concise language in which the need of concerted action in good roads was absolutely necessary ; and setting forth facts that to do things in a good, big broad way, it will be necessary to educate the voters of Wasco county to the viewpoint of supporting good roads bonds. He added that Wasco county was dead asleep on one of the most im portant issues, namely, good roads. while all other counties in Oregon, Washington and California were busy all the time in the interests of their citizens and sightseers. I Mr. McGregor said in part: "This j is one of the most important occasions in the history of Wacso county, and if we do not get busy at once we will be left in the race. In my recent tour through Washington and British Co lumbia, it was plainly discernible that good roads had done more for the coun ties than any other thing. There the farmers appreciated the advantages that did not keep them on trie road for the greater part of the time hauling their produce. The business men of The Dalles have made good, they have paved the streets of The Dalles, secured the location of canneries, rail road shops, but they have left undone the good roads campaign in Wasco county. The state highway commis sion three years ago started this cam paign and Multnomah county has now expended $000,000 in building a perma nent highway towards The Dalles. Hood River county has expended $75,- 000, but there is still lots to be done. "We people are just sitting around with a self-suflicient attitude, inactive nd asleep. With the roadway practi cally half constructed between The Dalies and Mosier, Wasco county is asleep at the switch. Many of the roads throuhgout Wasco county are certainly a detriment, and the condi tion of the roads in and out of Mosier are such that we are literally bottled up. It seems to be the universal de sire of a the big, broad men in the state of Oregon to keep the good roads movement going and in this way place ourselves in the front rank of progres-siveness." This is not a movement on behalf of The Dalles, and neither is it a move ment in behalf of the Columbia River highway. It is a movement in the fur therance of the cause of good roads generally which the association hopes will reach every part of the county, and that the remotest citizen will be directly benefited by the work of the organization by the improvement of roads in his immediate vicinity. In other words the association wishes to create a hearty sentiment in favor of good roads among all of the citizens of the county. It also hopes to work in harmony with the county court in the construction of roads, and it expects to take an interest in seeing that Wasco county receives fair and just treatment at the hands of the state highway com mission. It is by coming in contact with the people who are in need of good roads that the association will be informed of the condition of the roads in the various parts of the county and so bring about an improvement of road conditions that will give to each and every farmer good roads to his trading point. J. L. Kelly was made permanent president of the organization and T. B. Philips permanent secretary. After an adjournment of half an hour, the presi dent appointed a committee on by-laws consisting of W. H. Wilson, George W. Johnston, of Dufur, Edward C. Fease, of The Dalles, J. K. McGregor, and Max A. Vogt. Before proceeding farther, 51 memberships registered, by paying a dollar each, with the Wal-ther-Williams garage presenting a check for $50. George W. Johnston, of Dufur, Sen ator Wheeldon, of The Dalles, W. II. Wilson, of The Dalles and several others gave good talks. The board of directors has been ap pointed as follows: Max A. Vogt, W. H. Wilson, E. O. McCoy, Judd S. Fish, L. D. Kelly, of Maupin, George W. Johnston, of Dufur, T. A. Sammis, of Mount Hood flat and Mark A. Mayer. A committee of three in every pre cinct of Wasco county has been ap pointed, who will assist generally in the organization and operation of the good roads association. Those selected from Mosier are L. J. Merrill, J. K. McGregor and C. A. Mc Carger. Another big meeting in the form of a barbecue is being planned for the near future. Those who attended the meeting from Mosier were: C. G. Nichol, L. J. Merrill, E. E. Amsden, W. C. Stone, C. C. Isom, Chas, Bennett, Mark -A. Mayer, J. N. Mosier, Fred Levy, J. K. McGregor, J. E. Clark, Dr. D. Robin son, J. E. Iligley, R. D. Chatfleld, Lloyd Fisher and Roger W. Moe. Globe trotters who have seen the noted Axentratse tunnel of the wit.s Apia and other scenic highways in dif ferent parts of the world and who have recently passed through the Mitchell Point tunnel of the Columbia river highway, have found in the new con struction work a new love. "I always throueht the Axenftrasso could not be surpassed," saya Geo. W. Tillson. city engineer of Brooklyn, X. Y., in a letter to J. A. Elliott, who had charge of the construction of the Mitchells Point work. Mr. Tillson, no companied by E. L. Powers, editor i a good roads publication, made a trip over the Columbia river highway UM week. "Both Mr. Towers and I. both of us having seen the Axenstrasse, wai t to emphatically state that the Mitchell Point work outclasses anything we have ever seen," cays Mr Tillsim in By special arrangement II. W. Mitchell, president of the Mitchell Mo tor Car Co., was permitted to drive the first automobile through the tunnel. "The Mitchell people," says Engin eer Elliott, "will use four or rive pho tographs of their car, taken in the tun nel and on the viaduct, on their l!'lt! calendar. "No sooner had we thrown down the barriers last Monday morning than an Overland car passed through." Engineer Elliott thinks that at lca?t 2,(KX) automobiles passed over the tor tuous passage of the old State road over Mitchells Point before the new construction was completed. A record kept by Warren Miller, Hood Kiver county road supervisor, shows a num ber slightly in excess of 1600. "However," says Mr. Elliott, "we saw a large number of machines pass over the Point before the county's watchman, who was stationed at th e Point to prevent accidents, reached his work. A large number passed over in the night, and were not seen." PIONEERS WILL MEET IN REUNION TOMORROW I For Butter Labels printed in accord ance with Dairy and Food Laws, call at this office.

Mr. Ward, who visited the district ten years ago, declared that he was amazed at the rapid development noted. tie was taken for a motor ride to Mitchells Point tunnel of the Columbia river highway. "Your coi structi. n'of better roads," said Mr. Ward, "impresses me more than anything 1 have noticed on this trip.

Stamp Window Will Close at Six According to instructions from an ir. spector who was here Monday, the stamp window at the local postoffice will be closed daily at b p. in. "I told the inspector," says Post master Keavis, "that I preferred to keep the window open, since the pa trons were accustomed to call for stamps after six. However, he de clared that the office force should not be bothered in their sorting of mail for the through eastbound fast mail. As Boon as patrons have received notice of the change, the window will be closed to conform to instructions." Patrons of the office have been ac customed to enter the sorting room.

In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul sion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Scott & Bowuc, Uluomficld, N.J. 9 Saddles! Just received some new saddles also new fly nets, cow covers, dusters, auto robes, tents and wagon sheets.
