Conger, were visitors at the state highway commission this morning on official business. They asked that the commission begin work as soon as possible ou the John Day Highway. The gardner at the state house re cently planted the circular plot of ground east of the capitol grounds with nasturtiums and expected to have a beautiful bed of flowers soon. But last nicht some one trampled the bed and run a bicycle across it and prac-' tically destroyed the bed. Secretary, Olcott, who has charge of the buildings and grounds, has placed a sign up to the effect that any one caught mutilat ing the flower beds will be prosecuted. The Tver J. Rostcn Company filed articles of incorporation with the cor poration commissioner this morning for the purpose of conducting a contract ing, engineering, and construction busi ness with a eapital of $10,000. The place of business is Portland and the incorporators are Ivor J. Kosten, Aoyes E. Tyrell, and George P. Clark. The Hawthorne Garage filed articles with John D. Vincil, F. W. Vincil, and H. S. McDauiels as incorporators. The object of the company is to buy and sell automobiles. Tlie place of busi ness ia Portland and the capital is $3,000. Certificates of dissolution of the Gresham investment company and the Standard Cleaners 4 Dyers were filed. A. B. Cordly, of Corvallis, has been chosen chairman of the state lime board in place of Warden Charles Murphy who was first chosen but who was unable to act on account of a pro vision of the law which requires. Uu.t the chairman be selected from one of appointive members. As Warden Mur phy is only a member by virtue of his office, it "was impossible for him to serve. He was chosen secretary.

But President Wilson was after all, rather unambitious in his demands upon this section. You ought to size up the de mand made by Henry Ford, and other gasoline dispensers; and they get away with it. Marion county has spent for auto mobiles about two and one. third mil lions of dollars, a sum that makes fif ty thousand look like confederate mon ey. Conservative estimates based on available figures indicate that Marion county sports 3500 buzz wagons. They are easily worth on an average of $500 each. Most estimators place the figure at $650 or higher. In addition thereto one third may be added for deprecia tion, upkeep, repairs accessories, gas and oil. A mere two per cent of the amount thus shown to be invested and spent for this one item, largely of pleas ure, will care for the county's share of the big war fund. If Marion county is spending two and one third millions for automobiles, it is unlikely that it will fall down on an amount so relatively small for loyal ty. Marion county does not love her gas carts better than her country not yet. Let every automobile own give the price of a set of tires for each car owned and no one else should worry. Marion county's wealth as shown by the assessed valuation as shown by the assessed valuation and it should be remembered that this is Bomewhat (to say the least) below the valuation ask ed if purchase were contemplated is $44,000,000. One tenth of one per eent is what is asked by the president of the nation for the care of the soldiers and sailors during the time of war. Double the amount would not seem an undue tar. , How much is invested and spent in $14 shoes and silk stockings is a mere matter of conjecture, and could scarce ly hn footed iid so to speak. Again the amount spent for chewing gum, eandy, tobacco, cigars, and otner parapnerna lia so necessary in time of war, cannot be gotten at. But if all ana sunary oi these items might be gathered into one sum, that would probably make $50,000 look siek. i ina wunuii la ihjitt, nu fc The wealth is here, and tne greatest ., ; kUtnrv i. here.

Assailing pro-Germans and pacifists, who he de clared were responsible for the nation 's nnpreparedness, colonel Kooeeveln to day urged full response to the Red Cross appeal through which $100,000,000 is sought, and for vigorous waging of the war. Speaking before a crowd gathered in celebration of Nebraska's semi-centennial, the colonel declared America's first army was going into battle unpre pared so far as adequate Bed Cross re lief is concerned and our greater arm ies may later be in the same predica ment unless the country subscribes lib erally during Red Cross week, begin ning next Monday- "The honor, welfare, usefulness and the very life of the republic, have been threatened by the pacifist and pro German agitation of the last three years," he said. "It would be impossible to estimate the damage to the moral fibre of the country by peace at any price propa ganda. "At last, thank heaven, we came to our senses," be said. "We have enter ed the war for the future of civiliza tion and it behooves Us to bear our selves like men. We are utterly unpre pared, but we must fight without pre paration and prepare as well as we can at this late date. "There must be no division among our ranks," Roosevelt said, referring to Gcrinan-Americans. "Any citizen of this country who uses his citizenship in the interest of some other country is a traitor and its not merely our right, but our duty to insist upon this fact. I want to make it clear that I stand for the American who is in whole or in part of German blood precisely as I do for every other American, no matter what his blood. I have German blood in me. - "In this country we must have but one flag, the American flag; but one language, the English language, and above all, but one loyalty, loyalty to the United States, with no looking back to the various old world countrios from which our ancestors came. "But through political pressure the pacifists prevented ub from preparing They cared nothing for humanity, our national honor, or .interest. All they asked was a peace that would permit ub to get all four feet in the trough while we strove to distract attention from the squalid baseness of our materialism by the shrill clamor of a sham sentimental ity. "Now when th fire is licking our walls instead of being able to put it out, we are still scrambling into our clothes. " J - " . . Weekly Report of Union Stock Yards Portland, Or., June 12.

Create Sentiment in Favor of Its Grab From the number ot letters coming in to the Oregon Public Service commission from various business men throughout the state of Oregon bearing tho ear marks of being inspired by the agents of the railroads, it is evident the rail roads are making a great drivo through out the state to create a favorable im pression on the members of tho commis sion regarding th. right of the railroads to get the 15 per cent increase in freight rates asked for from the Interstate Commerce commission. These lettots are being received daily by tho commission and state in general that the writer has investigated the proposed rate increase and that he be lieves the railroads ought to have the inereaso asked for so they can secure more and better equipment. The letters are from hardware men and men who have a certain amount of transportation to do. They apparently are- trying to influence the commission to think there is a wide and deep demand for the in crease in the state o'f Oregon. The letters are addressed, "To Whom It May Concern," and are patently gotten up and inspired by the agents of the railroad. One writer was nnive enough to admit frankly that he had been requested by a certain railroad to writo to the commission stilting he was in favor of the proposed rate increase. One writer snid he was in favor of the increase but he did not wish it to eo into effect until he got his full goods in. Recently a representative of a rail- snake bites.
