I 10 THE MORXIXG OREGONIAJf, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913. Hundred Portland Business Men Go to St. Helens in In terest of Highway. COLUMBIA ROUTE IS TOPIC COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY BOOSTERS AND THEIR AUDIENCE AT ST. HELENS YESTERDAY Frank Terrace, of Seattle, Declares Washington-Oregon Scenery Xot Surpassed ETen by Rhine. Hill and Holman Speak. The gospel of good roads was carried yesterday to the people of Columbia County by a delegation of about 100 Portland boosters for the Columbia River highway. Twenty-one auto loads of substantial Portland business men reached St. Helens, the scene of the Columbia County fair, to back up the statements made by Frank Terrace. Samuel Hill and Rufus Holman. the last. Commissioner of Multnomah County. The meeting 'was well attended, prob ably 600 listening to the apostles of better roads. The convention hall was too small to hold the crowd and the exhibits both, and consequently Mr. Hill's lecture was abreviated and made without his famous pictures of roads the world over. The first speaker introduced by George V. McBride. chairman of the St. Helens good roads committee, was Frank Terrace, of Seattle. Mr. Terrace has done much to improve the roads of King County, and was instrumental in getting the county to put up the $5,500. 000 for improvement. England Brings Home LMon "It Is the best investment any county or country can make," said Mr. Ter race." "X remember several years ago, when I was farming, how we used to spend time and patience and lost money getting our goods to. the market. Then I went to Europe. I had left our coun try, to be sure one of luxurious Pull mans and rolling flyers. The trains in England were in marked contrast, with everything in our favor. "But, the roads. One near Manches ter. 200 feet wide and as smooth and regular as the road of a transconti nental railroad, made me think of the room for Improvement there waa In America, and in Washington In par ticular. Washington already Is making things look somewhat different." Hill Propose Methods. Samuel Hill, the road - builder of Klickitat County, was next introduced, and he explained In brief the four methods to secure roads. He said In part: "The most pleasant Is to have some one donate money toward building the roads. That is very agreeable but rather uncertain, and it might take a long time to secure a road from Port land to the sea. "A good method is that of bonding and by taxation. "Still another is through the develop ment of the country, building the roads off the proceeds and making the bene ficiaries do most of the work. "The fourth, and one which has proved highly successful, is the use of convict labor. "Civilization has a biproduct in the horde of convicts. Those unfortunates need work of some kind to relieve their minds, and the road furnishes a very good place to put in Borne of their time. All Claasea Benefit. "However, whichever way seems best should be carried on from one end of the state to the other. Everyone, from the poor man to the millionaire, bene fits by better roads. As an investment good roads offer tenfold returns. "An expenditure of $105,000 on good roads In Klickitat County brought back, according to some of the men who pro moted it, 154,000 in the annual grain haul. "I have been in Europe and always observed the roads. The Rhine River is beautiful, and the good roads along its banks held the tourist to enjoy the scenery. However, when the Columbia River highway Is built, Oregon will have a road which will rival that of the Rhine. "The world is watching the North west. It is an immense territory, still much in its youth. It holds a great future, and the immediate improvement of the road means time saved in bring ing the greatness of the future to us." Co-Operatlon Plea Made. Rufus Holman spoke briefly of the work in Multnomah County. He urged co-operation of all the counties to se cure uniform and better work. The meeting lasted three-quarters of an hour. It was still early in the aft ernoon and some passed half an hour among the exhibits. The products were high-class and offered argument for better roads. "I think the bonus on such fruit and garden truck sold in Portland would soon pay the cost of better roads," re marked one of the Portland men. The roads were in good shape for more than two-thirds of the way. A section of Columbia County was dusty and in some places rough. In Winter j it would be almost impassable for autos. The excursion of Portland men waa headed by Julius L. Meier, president of the Columbia River Highway Associa tion. County Commissioners Hart and Lightner were also there. The Port land Commercial Club was represented by Edgar B. Piper, its president; C. C. Chapman, H. L. Pittock and others.

Broadway Bridge Lights Restored. Following an order recently issued by County Superintendent of Bridges Murnane directing the lighting of alternate clusters only over the Broad way bridge, many complaints have been made as to the darkness sur rounding the steps leading up to the bridge from Union Station. When ad vised of the condition last night Su perintendent Murnane promised that immediate relief would be granted and orders Issued properly to light the stairway. The reason given for the cutting down in the number of lights waa that the expense for bridge light ing has exceeded $250 per month and that an effort was being made to re duce this expense.

"It has never been the intention to have the Federal courts, the office of the United States District Attorney, or any of the departments located in the present building moved from there, said Mr. Myers. "They are all right where they are, and there Is no neceS' sity for moving them. Only depart' ments In rented quarters would be housed in the new building. The pres ent building will be kept intact even if the eight-story structure is built. Old Building Needed. "There are now 68 carriers working out of the present Postoffice, and it will continue to be needed as a car riers' station. The Postal Savings Bank will be located here also. From the rate at which it is growing, it will soon need much larger quarters. We will have need for every bit of the space we now occupy for our up-town station, whether an eight-story or a two-story Postoffice is built. "The Postoffice quarters In the new building will be utilized for the dls trlbutlon and assorting of mall, and a carriers' station for mall north of An keny street would also be located there. The present building would be used for carriers south of Ankeny. "It would not be practicable to put the departments now renting quarters in the present building, as suggested. It is an old and far from modern building, for one thing, and for an other there is not nearly enough space in It to care for the different depart ments, even if the lower floor were not required for postal purposes. Mall Order Bnslnesa Heavy. "The business of the Portland Post office has grown 600 per cent in the last 12 years. We do as much business in two months now as in an entire year then. If only a two-story struc ture were erected, it would be inade quate before it was finished, and a ,our-story building would not be much etter. In a lew years an entire eight-story building will be needed for Postoffice purposes alone. here a few months ago is already do ing a business of $1000 a day, and within a year it expects to have in creased this to from $20,000 to $40,000 a day. What this means in increased postal requirements can be realized from the case of Seattle, where a mall order house, doing a $40,000 a day business, furnishes one-seventh of the city's postal business." x, NfX,-.'X f -, : H- v sxx, ' ..rl."-" V x?
