OU COURTS NOT GRAFTERS HAZELL DOES NOT COMPARE NEW YORK HIGHWAYS AND THOSE HERE GOOD BASE IS BIGGEST SECRET Road Properly Built Will Last for Many Year. But Present Syitem It Wrong and Needs a Chang OREGON' CITY, Feb. 2. (Editor of the Enterprise.) G. A. Schuebel and Charles E. Spence, the writers of two letters which were recently published In the Enterprise, seem to be opposed to good roads. I believe It would be a safe assertion to say that both these men are In the kindergarten class; at least so far as road bulldlug Is con cerned. I note that Mr. Schuebel's let ter is largely composed of abusive mat ter and I assume that he has done this In order to cover up his Ignorance lu road building. Mr. Spences com- munlcation seems to be a little more polished, but neither men hit the main question squarely. It Is not my pur pose to go Into personalities. I will however endeavor to discuss the road question without venom or malice as I believe that much good can be accom pllshed by an unbiased discussion of facts, together with a genuine desire to accomplish something. I am there fore out to lend a helping band to ACCOMPLISH THAT SOMETHING. Mr. Spence seems to be fearful of GRAFT. He speaks of New York atate spending fifty millions of dollars on roads and then Toting a like sum for the. same purpose. Quoting his own words they are as follows: "The first roads built did not last five years and now another fifty millions was Issued to complete the system." Now Mr. Spence whyo you not say that the first roads built, need top dressing or re-surfacing Instead of trying to give the impression that, after all this ex penditure of money, the roads are no good. The facts are the roads which you refer to are macadam roads with a Telford base or foundation. Such roads need re-surfacing about every three or four years and since the ad vent of the automobile, it is claimed, and I think rightly, that the face of the macadam is sucked up and blown away much faster than It was under the old steel tires of the wagon and horse per iod. Therefore the macadam faced roads under existing conditions and in thickly populated districts soon be come full of small holes which to an "Oregonlan" would seem like marble holes ot our childhood days. It is unfair to attempt to draw com parisons between the state of New York and that of Oregon. If you will stop to consider the small population of Oregon compared with a territory of equal size in the East, I am sure that you must admit that the thing for us Oregonians to do Is, profit by the mis takes of the East and improve on their methods. When one considers that Oregon Is larger than the combined area of the State of New York, New- Jersey. Delaware, Connecticut, Ver mont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, in which territory there is a population of over seven teen millions and in our own Oregon there Is not yet one million people. I say lt'a unfair to use comparisons with such large populated states as that of New York, and it is an Insult to our regularly elected county officials to suggest that they cannot be trusted to put a genuine road scheme into effect without graft. What should be done, above all things is to build a solid base or found ation having every regard for proper grades and drainage. A Telford base ought to be built in about the follow ing manner. After grades are estab lished cut out to a depth ot about IS inches and to a width of 16 feet in center of road. Fill In the bottom of trench with cobble stones of about 8 Inches on longest side, being careful to place the largest end down; then fill in the voids between the stones with the dirt previously taken from the cut or trench. Be particular to flood the dirt with plenty of water and cover the top of cobble stones with about one inch of dirt. When the above is done then take a heavy steam roller. of ten to fifteen tons weight, the heav ier the better and roll over the dirt until an even surface appear. Follow this course with that of cracked stone of about three Inches laying same about four inches In thickness; also with plenty of dirt and water and steam roller as In first course. Then follow with cracked Btone of about one and a half inches and to a thickness of about four inches and also with dirt, water and roller as In previous courses taking care to have a proper crown in center of road. When a base has been laid as above stated It should be strong enough to hold up, at any time, a load equal to the weight of the steam roller. Thus the importance of a heavy steam roller. The method of a few years ago on roads having a base as per above, was to finish them with a ma cadam surface; this method in the old er states seems to be rapidly chang ing to that of some hard surface. Ex perience is teaching them that, with the advent of the automobile and auto truck, something more lasting than macadam face is necessary. I there for say that we should profit by tbe experience of the older states and not waste monpy on a surface that will not hold up. Above all things M us build proper foundations and then as the population increase and the necessity arise a hard surface can be placed on the foundation previously made. In the meantime in certain localities ma- cadam or some substitute r-an be nsd for surfacing. A fixed policy .-.U-uhi be I established, and that poi.c. g" i bej on all main and hav roads leading to tbe h HARD SURFACE. Sire: and also you, Mr. Schul.el ra v,,-1 -l . ,-!..' ' admit that a road wirh a f;. nd.ilion built on such lines will lai. Then why raise your voice or pen against a genuine desire to better the road con ditions of Oregon. How much more, appropriate It would be for both of you to meet the men you are trying to abuse and work and co-operate with them in their earnest and genuine ef forts to better the conditions surround ing the community in which they and you live. During the past seven yean mere has been expended on the rosls in Clackamas County about one and a quarter million doliars. For this vast expenditure of money, we now b-tve to show 103 miles of so-cai:-d macadam; 16 miles of gravel and 51 ailms of plank; no Telford base or foundation seems to be in evidence anywhera. All roads, such as they an-, ungues tlonnhlv need attention this year. If comprehensive road system had been established seven years ago and at a cost price of ISOOO.OO per mile for road building we would now have 250 miles of permanent roads In Clackamas County. Had the Telf.ml base with the macadam surface boon established at that time ninety per cent of the sur face of such roads would be good to dav and remain so for several years to come. There are numerous In stances on record In the Kastorn slate wherein macadam faced roads have lasted o to iu years womnn and then the cost of repairing has boon loss than $200.00 per mile. At such rate the upkeep of a macadam faced roads has not average yearly more than $50.00 per mile. I therefore say that our main heavy travelled roads .. . ,-.i.i ....... ll&KH lasted 5 to 10 years without rcpairum S1UFACK. The other roads should bo Telford base with a surface that will last for 10 years and then If conditions .... it i,'h surface call bo re moved and a hard surface placed there- lllO!l H1IU n ' on. I also state that in my judgment .... .n.l n, iist.tr uhnnlil he COI1- nuid master should bo con stantly on the nlort to prevent ditches or culverts blocking up and thus put the stitch In time which saves nine. ' T lie re are In'Claikninas County shout 1300 miles of roads all told. About 250 miles are the actual used roads; the balance are side roads In which one or two families live and the ... o. ......I Whv lint ouiers arr uniui.. v.i ...-v. .- get togemer on a rmu Miunnnr . . . ........ -j I.. ln and build tnese .m nines ui rvuus " money ntis oc.u put c -a permanent and lasting manner.

I u thls were done the dovelopement of dor these conditions he has nothing to f-in.-L,inii tvuintv In the next five ! ,rrv about, urd goes wltli the b st years would be phenomenal. Instead , of logged off lands and waste places, we would see developed farms and homos springing up and contentment where now discontentment and dis couragement reigns. In Clackamas County we have all the materials necessary for good roads and there Is no reason why they should not be used except, that the present svstem of making roads Is wrong and should therefore be changed.

Efforts of some San Francisco dealers to talk of higher prices ln order to keep Oregon grow ers from selling their product at this time. Is considered one of the old names of the southerners. It is stated that one San Francisco.1 house has recently purchased very lib eral supplies In the Yakima section at a low price. After this purchase, it was stated, the buyer came to Portland and gave out a very bullish report in the hope of Influencing producers here to ask higher prices, thereby stopping shipments to California for awhile. In the meantime the buyer would be able i to unload his low-priced stock on a high-priced market In the south hy keeping out all outside shipments. The truth of the matter is that ev ery potato market along the Pacific coast Is very weak at this time Prac tically all local shippers have quit buy ing. Some are not In the market at any price. Potatoes are being soli i.t much lower prices at both Yakima and Seattle arid it is stated that thr bulk of the business ln California is like wise. FINE FOR SPREE John Irish, held In the city Jail on a charge of intoxication and disord'-rly i conduct, was fined $5 in tbe nuinl- clpal court Monday and one-half of the amount remitted. ' He was found by Chief Ed Shaw Sat urday night on the streets and wasi plaod in the city jail on a lu-.rge of ' intoxication. He Bald at that time: that he had received the bottle, ot j liquor tn-n round by tne police upon a prescription from one of the promi nent physicians of the ci'y. Tbp of-f.c-rs believe that he misrepresented the fact when he asked for the pre scription. Why owe any one a grudge when we can pay as we go? The King of All Laxatives.

These sudden rises have been due to various causes but have shown in general the rapid growth of the county and the way that values have Increased with the Increase In the population of little more than a decade. The figures In the hand of Will I.. Mulvoy, county clerk, tell vividly the story of the development of the county the growth lu business, the rise In the values of the property that Is assess able, and the Increase In population. One of the first rises In values came In the year 1903 when the assessment Jumped from four million, to nine mil lions of dollars. The next year Indi cated normal growth with a silent In crease In the valuation. In 1910, the property rose another million, taking a shoot of two million the following year. In 190S. the values almost doubled, the rolls showing twenty two million. In 1910, It went up to 24 nilllon. twenty-six million In 1911. 28 million In 1912. and 30 million In 1913.
