While it is the more immediately ef
for bridges. In regard to this matter
the court was asked to explain as far
a It could where this money was to
f bo expended. Judge Mason made an
explanation which was to the tttfect
, that $0,UX) was to be spent in his
district iind gave some of the localities
as to where II would bo spent. Com
1 mlssluuer Farmer stated that $10,000

in his dlstricl and stated that his ap
propriation was to be spent In building

Statistics gathered at the poultry
show held in Portland last week show
that poultry and poultry products an
nually add more wealth to the state
than does fruit, three times as much as
wool, one and a half times as much as
hops, nearly half as much as wheat and
represents aliout 6 er cent of the
total agricultural wealth of the state.
It has heretofore been claimed that
Oregon is not a poultry state, but with
our agriculture college devoting time
and money to the improvement of ex
isting breeds, a great deal of interest
in the industry is being aroused.
The first spadeful of dirt on Jackson
County's new highway over the Siski

tract price of $107,000 and will, as far
as possible, be completed during this
winter in order to have a settled road
bed ready for surfacing early in the
spring.
For the past two months a party of
deputy game wardens has been busy
locating the boundaries of the new
game refuge, 30 miles square, lying in
Like and Crook counties, in the central
part of the state. The primary object
in establishing this refuge is the pro
1 tection of the mule deer and antelope
which are still found in considerable
numbers in that vicinity. The refuge
is also a sort of natural park, contain
