SATISFACTION Gl'AK ANTEED to Telephone Office BUILDING Hanager. on Your Next Job Work IMPROVEMENT PARAGRAPHS. Everybody is in avor of good roads, biit many viciously op pot all plant ot taxation to get th money to build ths good road. Every merchant should study the good roads problem until he grasps it fully and until ha sees that it is his problem. Happiness and prosperity are more Lkely to be found upon the farm, but you must have a good road to find the farm. Much opposition to road bonds and levies comes from exces sively fast driving of automo biles and the attending dangers. If it is sensible to propose the issuance of government bonds to improve water transportation, then it is equally sensible to do so for the improvement of wagon roads. COLOR SIGNS TO SHOW THE RIGHT HIGHWAY. Unique Scheme of Designation of Four Main Arteries Urged by E. Stewart. "Tin ti iirti way department of the state of New nrk has nlli. dally adopted scheme suggested h.v Frank I., Lyon, ae. retary of (lie New York State Auto mobile association, fur the designation of the main highway wlilrh could tie followed tiy the California highway commission Willi good results." says F. Slewnrt. iiti automobile 1 1 - i 1 1 - i ue m heme is to doslguat e the live fiui i ii highways liy color virus, 'l'hl tloes not mean the erection of sign posts, tint tlie painting of feme and bridge appro:. dies alomj the various roads: also decorating tea-phone ni d telegraph poles witli hand in the ml r which designate the route that they are on. This is l.ein done by the local automobile clubs situated on these routes. "As already adopted. California ha four main routes-the coast route ir.ni. Sin Francisco south, the const route I'mui San Francisco north, the valley route from San Franciso south and the northern inland route fr San Fratn isco. It would take very little expense to mark those routes, and it would be II wonderful help to the visit j ing motorists. The work, however. I should not be commenctMl until it was j definitely settled on what should be J the end of the national highway Into; San Francisco trom the boundary of the state. The colors selected shou'd be such that the state of Nevada and j other states to the east might be able j to use them for marking their sections! of the national highway." HOW GOOD ROADS WILL HELP THE MERCHANT, Better Highways Bound to Keep the Neighborhood Trade at Home. The Increased area of distribution of the goods, wares and merchandise of our factories and stores demands a new method and means of transporta tion. Good roads will extend the ra- j dins of service of the city merchant and Jobber to u much larger territory. Good roads will keep the many mil- J lions of dollars of our elli'ens at home instead of being spent through catalogue houses 111 cities outside of j the st:ite. Good roads brim: renewed , energy and thrift to the merchant in I every market center of the state. Farm products will be marketed more easily throughout the year. Sales of merchandise and collections will be distributed over a larger period of , time. Good roads will mean good i times to the merchant. Had roads keep trade away from u town or city -Itetter itoudH. , APPLYING GRAVEL TO ROADS. I Up to Date Farmers Use Manure j Spreader For Difficult Job. In a locality where a large mileage of gravel and rock roads had been run- i struct ed farmers discovered a met hud i of laying the material uniformly and ! with a minimum of nfterwork. ' Several of the farmers owned manure spreaders of the kind that have low ', hanging, easily detached heaters and I automatic tall gate: They removed the heaters, took the loads of the ma terial they could haul, drove out upon the road to lie treated, threw the ma chines In gear at it speed that was re quired to make the proper application of the material, ami It was Hpreail in a uniform layer on the roadbed. Some of the men with an Implicit faith In their mm bines did not even go to the trouble of removing the beat ers. Popular Mechanics. Lookout Mountain Road.

WOOL STARTS OFF Shearing Season Beginn ing: to O pen I n Western Statos The Oregonisn Rives the Istrst vcr Men i f the wrnl situation in the Went : There have been no development of intercut in the wool market snide from the sale of a few clip shorn from mutton sheep, a heretofore re pot ted. Tie price paid for this rarly oid ranged from l! In 20 rent. The -op price was paid for Mutilans wool, w hieh is 10 per rci t lighter in shrink i.ge thiol Fastcrn Oregon wool. Miearing will begin in Washintgton in shout three week, if weather run- (litmus sre fsvorsb'e.snd thst will msik the opening of Ihu 111 1.1 season in the , West. In the meantime no effort at! 'all is being made by dealers to secure the new clip on runt'Set. With grow- j era in their present firm attitude and ' the taritf situation so uncertain it is likely thst all buying will be deferred , until shorn wv.,U are olTered on the market. 1 Siimll (piai'titie ef fine Arizona wool have icai-hed the KaMern market and 1 sold at 17 1-2 eents. Shearing i not general in that ftate yet, havit'K hern ' held back bv ruin. The hulk of the! Arizona clip is always consigned. The position of the Fastern traile on i the contract ipittmn is thus (it forth! by the Wuol and Cotten Kepnrler: j "There are in further efforts report ed to eontriu't lor wind on the t-herp's j lui in the primary market. Tit weakness f the situation in the Wert repurted by buyers H the inability of , the grower to realize clanged rondl- tiotif. The grower is net in hi present attitude playit g for the beet he can g, t, but actually experts to get value; for his wool at the l.igh level of price j that govern the closing ale of last j s iiM'n's clip. This point of view is , iuiios!-ible to the dealer." j LOCATORS7 FEES ; I HINDER SETTLERS; Settlement of tl.e iovernment ho-ne- ' i stead Ian 's in Oregon is hi' tiered. I greatly on arcount uf the "location i fees" that homrsteker have to pay t i I the nun who actually guide them to! the vacunt acres, says Fred W. Ora- ! ham, ve.-tt rn industrial aid immigra ! lion agent for the Great Northern Hail- w ay. Mr. Graham i? advocatirg a plan! whereby the I ona tide celtlt r ran be i locate 1 nn his homestead lard at the txpt nse of the Htato er the Nutior al (.overnrnent. Under the prevailing1 methods it costs every settler from ! $.'!() to Sl.'d in adtiition tu Km regu ar ; entry and registry fee which approx- : imates $21 alore to gt t settled on a i quarter section nf homestead lantl. That is the schedule at Iiend and at othet points from which the nettlers muct have the attention of professional guides or locators. Now the services cf these guides or locators are absolutely necessary, as it would be impo-ible for the average homesteader, even with maps an I ilea criptive matter, to find the uivlaimfd land. Kven were a man a surveyor, it would coat him probably $")0 to locate his claim. So the established euHtum is to employ the professional locators and pay them their fees f, r placing them on unclaimed property and locat ing their boundary corners Mr. Graham points out that tie call ing of the professional locator is a legitimate and an honorable o e, and he agrees that the av rage scale of fees is not excessive, as tiny are un der constant expense for anutomobile h're and for keeping themselves in formed n the description of the hind that hat been taken up. "But," argues Mr. Graham, "when a man with a family anil the average homesteader haa a family starts to settle on a piece of Government land every $100 looks mighty big. He can not xfford sometimes to pay the loca tor's fee. It the Government either state or Federal would hire locators by the month and furnish their ser vices free to legitimate homesteaders, I believe the vacant lands of "regon would be taken up much more rapidly. The Government could estimate the cost of each location and charge it gainst the laid. The homesteader might be given an opportunity then of paying it back within a reasonable period after he had sold his flint crop for instance. Mr. Graham has suggested that this is a question that might receive the worthy attention of some of the com mercial organizations in the state. OIUXJON TltUNK RAILWAY Train nowlenvn Mi ml :15 n.m.
