Committee's action u reaj, i
also a communication from Ruisel
Hawkins, who is now in Washington,
to the eirect thit the Rivers and Har

between February lDth and 20th, and
that if the Port of Hay City case,
which i now jnding before the
Supreme Court, was decided and the
Port of Hay City wai found to be con
stitutional, previous to the 10th of Feb
ruary. It would not be too lata to have
embodied in the Senate bill the addi
tional appropriation of f307,000.
In considering the matter of appro
priations It might be well to state that
the above mentioned appropriation is
independent of the initial appropriation
of $100,000 which was made at the last
session of Congress for the beginning
of our harbor improvements,

This irrigation congress is right in
line wilh the tremendous development
movement now so generally under way
throughout the whole state. It means
more land; made available for the
farmer, greater wealth for Oregon and
a greater and more prosperous popula
tion. The Jay of Oresron has been the sub
ject of much thought on the part of
fhe regents of the Oregon Agricultural
College and they will seek funds from
the legislature to etablih a model
poultry farm at Corvallis. The average
hen in the sta'c lays about 60 eggs
per year, while champion layers at the
college have gone well past the 200
mark in a twelvemonth. It is desired

ing an expenditure of ISU.C00, half of
which is to be borne by Tillamook Hay

object aimed ai in establishing the

EARLY BEGINNINGS OF
GOOD ROADS WORK.
"When some progressive nntcdilu-
viun shocked his eontemxrnries by
bringing his game to camp on a horsej
the good roads movement was inaugu
rated," says K. F. Ayers. highway en
gineer, in bulletin No. 07 of the exten
sion series of tho Oregon Agricultural
College. "Had he shown proper respect
for precedent he vvould have shouldered
his load, although custom sanctioned
tho use of rude boats in case he was
fortunate enough to be near a stream.
Other members of tho tribe roon
appreciated the many advantages of
the new method, and well defined trails
were opened through thu wilderness.
These were laid out by the animals
themselves, the only assistance ren
dered by their drivers being the occa
sional removal ot a tree which fell
across thu path.
"No further progress wus made un
til the advent of wheeled vehicles.
These required n wider path, and the
trail b-gan remotely to resemble
road. No attention was paid tu proper
location, grades or druinage, but een
the slight amount of work required was
bitterly opposed by tho owners of the
pack teams, who foresaw thut their
business would bo ruined if the newer
transportation gained a foothold.
"They claimed that thu wide roads
were unnecessary; that tho pew con
traption was simply u passing fad, suito
able for a rich man's toy, but impossi
ble as a practical vehicle; that the
taxes would ruin, the country unless the
wagon men were forced to pay the en
tiro cost of thu improvement; in short,
that tho roads which hud autliced for
their fathers should bo good enough
for them.
"These sumo arguments were revived
on the advent of tho bicycle and the
automobile, thu tuamstera in the mean
time having forgotten their early trials
illegal, prompt action will have to be
taVen along lines of readjustment, and
it was for this reason that the meeting
was called.
It seemed to be the opinion of those
present that there should lie one port
for the Tillamook Hay watershed, and
that said port should be divided into
districts, each of said districts to be
represented on the port commission.
To bring this about it was thought that
one of two things would have to be
done, vis. : If the Port of Hay City is
declared unconstitutionil, let Hay City
and all additional territory in the
watershed join the present Port of
Tillamook, which has been declared
constitutional; or if the Port of Hay
City is declared constitutional let there
be introduced in the legislature a bill
giving ports mid other municipal cor
Hrations the privilege of combining if
they so see fit.
A committee of three was apointed
to look after the legislative feature of
the matter. Following are the names
of those appointed on tho committee:
Attorneys Hoits, Geneste and Repre
sentative Hundley.
The idea was advanced that it would
be well to call a mass meeting of all
Tillamook watershed interests, to be
held at tho Commercial Club rooms at
Tillamook City on Suturday, Jan. 25th,
at 1 P. M., for the purpose of giving
the matter general discussion. In pre
paring for this meeting it was thought
that it would be well to appoint a com
mittee for the purpose of preparing
and bringing out thu vital and import
ant matters that should be discussed,
and accordingly the following commit
tee was appointed for that purpose:
C. W. Talmage, W. (5. Dwight of Till
mook; Mr. Jacoby and S. J. Cotton of
Bty City; Mr. 0'Donnell of Hay ocean;
John Nelson of Garibaldi, and Wm.
Maxwell of Fairview.
The object in holding the mass meet
ing is to get an expression from every
one, including the ranchers, as to what
would be tho best mode of procedure.
The fact of tho matter is simply this:
While we have been squabbling away
here our government appropriation has
been slipping away from us and it is
now up to us to get together on some
fair, honest, common ground, and do
and ioined tho reactionaries . . . The
highwsya of America remaintd as hoc i mighty quick.

fur inuklng such reassessment, At remain which do not in some form give ing and C, W. Tulmage as secretary,

nouncement was made this we that a
total of $16,077 has been set aside for
building roads in 13 forest reserves in
Oregon.
Redmond had a notable celebration
the past week when the big potato
warehouse lately erected by the co-operative
efforts of farmers in that dis
trict was opened. This building marks
the beginning of a movement among
the farmers of Central Oregon dis
trict whereby a better market is of
fered for their products. Potatoes and
other crops can be stored here and sold
in large quantities when the market is
best.
To harness the Columbia River by
means of a hydro-electric plant at Ce
lilo, developing no less than 100,000
horsepower, is the project of a state
senator, who will suggest his plan to
the Legislature in a bill. Ha believes
the states of Oregon and Washington
should build and operate this power
plant.
