Governor West's strong indorse ment of the Reed roads cause in his jucsngo to the legislature lias given the better highways movement .tre mendous encouragement and si length. "We may .sins the btnle's praises u. the sky and spend a fortune in ad vertising; our resources to attract homefteekers and settlers," said Gov ernor West," but we will have but little succeos unless we can point to some movement toward the construc tion of Reed roads over .which the pioduct of the farm may be handled to nuirkeU "Realizing how greatly the state was in need of good roads, and thai through our slip-shod methods ol road patching thousands of dollars of the people' money was buiup Mltumdcrcd annually, a number 01 our public spirited citizens through their organization, the Oregon Good Koads association, have thorough! investigated the whole question ol road building and I understand will .submit to your consideration a num ber of bills which embody their views, and recommendations in the matter. Knowing that their recommendation. are being prompted solely by an ear nest desire to see this state grid ironed by the bust system of high ways in the world, and at the least posible cost to the taxpayers 1 asl that the whole question he kindly given the niot careful consideration by you.' With Governor West's support ha. hpen joined the promises of many legislatures that they will support tin good roads cause and the bills thai have been framed to meet the guo. loads construction need. Oregon good roads advocates ivic bending the strength of their united iutluence to secure adoption of five highway measures now pending be fore the legislature. These bills, made law, will set into motion am. make posible a good roads cam paign in every county that will iv siilt in actual miles of road built lint the plans formulated by the Ore gon Good Koads association contem plate more than road building, t!io are intended to aid in (he building of better homes, better schools, ant; to uinko farm work pay better. The unit system of road hui!din is recommended for every county. This means that each county nidci by the state will' construct it) owii highway system in the way most Jieeded by that particular county. The state highway commissioner, whose services are to be rendered under the state highway board, will advise as to best methods while at the same time relating and connect ing the better built highway system of one county to those adjoining so that the ultimate result will be a state-wide system. This unit system has been found most effective and satisfactory in other states. PRINCETON MAY AGAIN PLAY BALL WITH CORNELL PRINCETON, X. J., Jan. 10.

GRANTS PASS, Jan. 1C The people of this district, falling to get Irrigation from corporations, have resolved to take the business In their own hands and have commenced to organize under the laws of Oregon an Irrigation district. The Joseph ine County Irrigation and Power company has taken the Initial step and as soon as Engineer Hall out lines tho territory to lie taken Into tho district a petition will be circu lated to secure the names desired. The Investigations to be made by the engineer are quite extensive and Im portant, requiring considerable time. It will be necessary to find out ex actly every piece of land that can be put under the ditch. This must be Jono In order to find out who will be entitled to vote on the question of organization. The citizens of this city and the entire surrounding country are deeply Interested in the question of Irrigation and they havo resolved to wait no longer for private capital to supply cither water or ditches. The law points out clearly the manner of organizing and the fact that other ommunlties have found tho Irriga tion district a success induces our ncoplo to have faith In such an ef fort, it will take only a few weeks to go through all tho steps to com pete tho organization nnd when that Is done they will have their own rcp esontatlves to carry forward the .vork of not only ditch building but tho construction of a daw at such ilaco as may be selected by tho of 'icers of the iMstiict.

Mrs. Ed Tucker of Brownsboro nnd little daughter came out last Thursday morning to take the train for Davis, on her way to her son-In-law, Mr. Marsh, near Centrnl Point, but did not reach hero In ttnio for tho train, so and to go In tho even ing, nnd then wnlk about a nillo there to tho place.

Clark was Installed as master Artesian and The Death of THE OWNER Enables us to offer what we honestly believe is the best bargain in a producing orchard in the Valley. There are 3f acres in the tract and it is only a mile from a shipping station. There are about 11 acres in apples, Ben Davis, "Wincsaps, Spitzenbergs, Newtowns. Trees are about liO years old. They are in good condition and produce heavily. There are also about 12 acres in standard varieties of peaches, in full bearing. About 8000 crates of poaches were shipped from this orchard last year. There are also 8 acres planted to Newtown apples, which were three years' old this winter. The balance of the land is cleared and was in grain bust year. Tho buildings consist of a house, barn and packing house. We think a reasonable estimate of the crop on this place this coming year would be 3000 to '1000 boxes of apples and 6000 to 8000 crates of peaches. A team of horses and a full equipment of machinery goes wtih the place. ' The price is $15,000, a trifle more than $J00 an acre. The terms asked are half cash, balance easy. If you cannot meet these terms as to the cash required, make us an offer. mmmmmammmmmmmammmmmmmmtsmtmmmmmmmBmaKmmKmatmmmammmmmem W. T. York & Ily A. C. Howlctt.
