MOUNT HOOD LOOP GETS OUR MONEY.
So strong is the demand for the immediate comple
tion of the two main-trunk roads, that the commission
is arranging to have all of the sections on these arteries
given immediate attention. Once the boards are cleared!
of these improvements, the commission will take up the
federal co-operation, and among the first will be a decision
regarding the Mount Hood loop, to which the commission
has been committed for more than a year. Oregonian.
This paragraph is taken from the report of yester
day's highway commission in Portland. It shows that the
tourist road system is to be pushed by the treasury raid'

In response to a letter, invitiner him to visit friends in
this country, Lord Dusany, English playwright and author
says: 1 should like to sit by your fire, as you promise,
with you and your friends, and eat apples. Would it not
he too bad if the greater part of mankind had been made
so restless, by these restless years that they could only fee
at ease by burning cities?
"How shall we easily turn from those hills and places
of vantage whence we watched the ruin of empires, to

which the happiness of men and children was made in the
days before the artillery altered the shapes of the hills?"
' Lord Dusany has put his finger on the very actual
state of affairs. There is hardly anyone not conscious of
deep inward excitement, which makes it fairly impossible
to turn once more to the ' little beneficent things."
But after all that is exactly what the world needs
right now more than anything else. The spirit which
could only feel at ease by burning cities must be held in
lirm control while the great questions before the world
are being settled. The more homes there are which care
uflly preserve -the homely atmosphere which makes it
possible for friends "to sit by the fire and eat apples"
the better, for they are the best possible safeguard against

no bearing upon the development of the state, and be of
no value to the farmer or businessman. - To spend state
road money upon it when so much road work of value to
the state is needed, is little less than a crime, and it is safe
to say that the bigger part of our state monev will co
into this scheme, unless the people of Oregon get together
and make such a forcible demand for their right to have
the money they pay in road taxes expended for the bene
fit of all the people, that the commission will be forced
to listen to them.
During the session of the legislature the Capital
Journal sought to have the roads to be improved by the:
commission designated before the $10,000,000 bond issue1
was passed. Ihe attempt was futile because the disor
ganized mob that was designated as the legislature this
year seemed to imagine the people had sent them there
for the sole purpose of burning up money and levying
new taxes to meet the deficiencies caused by their extra
vagance.
Portland will get its Mount Hood loop for the benefit
of visiting tourists and the roads the people who live in
tne state want will have to wait while millions are ex
pended elsewhere.

The Salem Kings' Products companv wants the far
mers and fruit growers of this district to supply its de
mands. They are advertising for many kinds of produce.
This industry is a good deal larerer than manv Salem
people imagine it is. Last year it used over 14,000,000
pounds of fruit and produce. Its plant payroll in this
city was $110,000rand yet only 15 per cent of the pro
duce used could be procured in the Salem territory. It
had to be shipped, even from as far awav as the state of
Washington, and high railroad freights added to the cost
of the products it manufactured.
Not only is this particular concern askine the people
o raise sufficient produce to keep them running, but the
loganberry juice plants, and the canneries are pleading
for greatly increased supplies. Thev are willing to buy
practically everything that the valley is able to produce
at open market prices and it is up to the people to re
spond to their appeals. A market for all these products
has been the great demand of the "valley for years, and
now tnat it has been secured the growers must make
every effort to supply it in order that these industries not
only may live, but that they may expand and thus pro
vide a still more active market for their fruit and produce.
