Ittcicnce: Kortliwcatom National nanic Prize-Winning Essays on Good Roads JUDGES In tlio good roads cssnv con ost which closed In Portland the ,.m P?f.oro U.le rccent road l)onl election, which carried b n big mttjorlty. woro Borrj- for only one circumstance that they had not a thoutantl prizes to So mnny hoys and girls responded to tlio Invitation of S. llenson, the veteran road enthusiast, to Biibmlt their argu ments for tho proposed road Improve ment bonds that the Judges had n hard time, In deed, to pick tho winners. After much careful study nrst prlzo was awarded to Charles Uerst, a 14-year-old biy, a member of the 9-H class of tho Lndd School. His argument was based on efficiency. Tho subject of his essay was "Efficiency First, Last and at All Times." Ho compiled with all the other rules of tho contest nnd presented a lot of orlglnnl points. Tho lad is a son of Mr. and Mis. J. H. Herat, of 1!0S Sixteenth street, Portlnnd. Uy a strange coincidence the second prlzo of 25 was nwaidcd to a girl who Is n member of the same class In the samo school as tho winner of the first prlzo. Her name Is Amy Turner. Sho Is only 13 years old and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Tinner, of 22S Tenth street. Her father Is n machinist. Thin llttlo girl was born In Springfield, Ohio, September 1, 1901, and moved to Portland with her parents In 1910. The subject of her C33ay was "What Oregon Needs." A Voto for Prospi'ilty. Tho third prlzo of $10 went to Mar garet Scojt, 14 years old, n pupil at Fern wood School. Her thomo was "Tho Value of Hard-Surfaced Hoads." Tho first prlzo essay, by Chniles Hcrst, on "Efficiency, Tlibt, Last nnd at All Times," follows: "A voto for tho load bonds Is a voto for prosperity. Why? Uecnuso efficient equipment Is the secret of prosperity; nnd hard-surfaced rands In this cllmato are tho only efficient ones for modern trans portation. "Dirt roads are useless soven or eight months In the year ami maendnm Is not prnctlcal. Io requires nn expensive foun dation and will not stand tho wear. Might ns well build an uxpcnslvo houso and covor It with a thatched roof. "Tho bond Issuo will benolU labor bc causo tho grcntor part of the cost will bo paid to labor. "It will benefit the farmer by giving him easy and quick occess to tho mar kets, by Increasing tho value of hla farm, by giving his children a better chance for education and making them contented with farm life. "It wilt benefit over) one In tho city becauso an Improved surrounding country Is necessary for tho development of any city. "Tout 1st Gold" Wnntril. "It will givo nil a chaneo at tourist gold, at n cost of 'good eats,' good Dull ltun water, n fine cllmato and the only thing wo now lack, tho good roads to tho finest nnturol scenery In tho .world." "What Oregon Needs," Is tho subject of Amy Tumor's cssny, which follows: "How much will good roads mean to Oregon? They will benefit tho rich and tho poor nllko tho merchant, tho farmer, and the laborer. , , , "Tho farmer will bo able to market his produco much quicker, ho will bo nblo to haul heavier loads, and his land will becomo more valuable. Pcoplo will pass by his plnco tho eor around when good roads are established. If wp do not havo them, they will content thorn selves riding around over our beautiful Btrcots. City people will becomo hotter acquainted with tho country, and there wilt bo a larger demand for land. "Almost $1,000,000 will bo spent for labor, which will certainly bo a blessing to tho men who nro out of employment. Tho money they earn will rreato a great er demand for tho necessaries of 1 fo, thcroforo benefiting tho meicnont and the ""Another thing to bo considered Is tho character of tho men who oro promoting good roads. They nro men who have made a success In life, from a business Btandpolnt. They pay largo tnxes and aro willing to nssumo tho burden of taxes, that we, tho coming generation, may profit by their good Judgment to wards progress nnd prosperity. Tho third prlzo essay by Margaret Scott ,m ''Value of Hard-Surfaced Hoads," fol- 10 "To many pcoplo 'roads' mean merely nubile highways, whllo really they ore tho aHcrles through which tho blood of """UoadsTro used chiefly for commerce Tho farmer's ability to maiket his goods depends upon tho condition of the roads, f 'good, he can veil when the pr cea nro highest otherwise ho ran market lis aoods only when tho rond nie passable They also enable him to use modern ve hicles as tho automobllo nnd motorcycle U -Good roads spread civilization and nclBhborllness among pcoplo by bringing hem In contact with one another. There s a need of them In Oregon especially, becauso of tho climate. Only through good roads can tho different parts of our state and county know nnd help one an other. Tiiy I'Vntitrp Analyzed. "Uy building hard-surfaced roads the value of adjoining Innds Is Increnscd. nils will lessen Portlnnd tnxes by In creasing the taxable property valuo of the rest of the county. "This yenr not only tourists, but per manent bettlcrs, will be nttrnctcd to this country and wo shall bo Judged by tho condition of our roads. "llesltles, If this bond Issue Is passed, SO per cent of tho money will bo spent for labor, theieby relieving tho unem ployed situation of Portlnnd." An essay that sure would havo been among tho prize winners had It not ex ceeded tho limit of 200 words was that of IMna Dowllng, of 041 Union avenue, a pupil at the Eliot School. Sho wroto on the general subject of "Good Hoads" but In a most original vein. Her essay fol lows: "Tho rain said to tho dust on tho road, 'I nm on to oti nnd jour niuno Is mud.' "The former said to his hired mnn, 'Wo can't take tho produco to market this week becauso of the condition of the unpned roads.' "Tho storekeeper said to his customer, 'No fresh vegetables this morning, only such ns we nre oble to get from Washing ton nnd California. ' '"Why can't you get fiesh vegetables and tho llko from the thousands of fer tile ncrcs surrounding Portlnnd?' said tho customer. " 'Oh, the roads arc so muddy tho farmer can't bring them In. " 'Uut I enn't uudci stand why tho farmers of Washington and California can get theirs to market.' " 'Why, my dear madam, they hnvo paved hlghwoys and up In King County, Washington, for Instance, after a rain tho farmer does not havo to wait for It to dry up bo ho can work In tho fields. He can tako his produco to market. " 'Hut I can't bco why the pcoplo of Multnomah County would not rather spend a couple of dollars moro on taxes a year, havo fresher and cheaper vege tables, etc., etc., not to speak of tho mnny other conveniences derived from good ronds,' she Bald, as Bho stepped out again Into tho progrcsslvp City of Portland, surrounded by beautiful roses and poor roads, with her Washington berries, Cali fornia vegetables and Chlncso eggs In her half-filled mnrket basket." The Judges of tho contest wcro: L. u. Alderman, Superintendent of Schools; Mayor Albce. of Portland, and W. L. Llghtnor, Chairman of the Hoard of Mult nomah County Commissioners. . t White Orpingtons Arc Fowls That Live Up to Reputation SHERIDAN, Or., April 15, 1915: Farm Magazine Company, Portland, Or.: Gen tlemen: I bco In your InBt week's Issuo an Illustration of tho Whllo Orpingtons of the Cook strain. I would stnto that I bought a pen of Slnglo Comb Wlilto Orpingtons from William Cook & Son, of Scotch Plains, N. J., U. S. A., two years ago, tho cockerel being a son of Mr. Cook's first prlzo cockerel of Mndlson Square. They havo proven as represented, breed ing uniform nnd being good egg produc ers, gcutlo nnd not excitable, easy1 to handle and nt tho snmo tlmo good rustlers when rnlsod on a farm whero they havo plenty of outrange. Now, ns I hnd so many Inquiries InBt yenr ns to what tho Cook Btrnln wns, I will copy from William Cook & Son Catalogue, of Scotch Plains, N. J. (and Orpington, England), tho originators of all tho Orpington fowls. Tho history of tho White-Orpingtons. (Copy). In 188p Mr. Cook thought ho ought to get to work nnd produco n, Wlilto Orpington that ho could bring out a few j curs after tho Dlack Orpington, ns nil peoplo did not llko this color. After several experiments to find out tho best wny of producing wlilto fowls, lie started by mating White Leghorn cocks with black Hamburg pullets, most of tho pul lets from this cross enmo very wlilto, these. oven nutted to Wlilto Dnrklng cocks. Many of the offspring now enmo bluo and barred and It took many years to get Jho perfect wlilto fowl nnd to get only "four toes, as tho dnrklng had five toos, but by 1S89 they wero niatlo as perfect ns posslblo nnd Introduced to tho public. Hoping this may relievo nny Inquiring mind, I remain nt your service, (Signed) W. II. DINSMOORE, i a Wns n Fine Looking Cow, Too. NEW ORLEANS, La.
