Capacity 15(),M0 Feet a Pay ed Near Portia ml. -Loont- PORTLAND. Or., Nov. 12. What will be one of the largest sawmills fn the Northwest Is to be established on the banks of Oregon Slough, In Multnomah county, within the next few months. In accordance with a lease signed this morning by L. W4 David, a sawmill man, and C. C. Colt, manager of the Union Meat Company. Mr. David leases 50 acres of the Swift tract, north of the new town of Kenton, for 20 years at a rental of $1800 a month, and is to proceed Immediately to break ground for the new mill, which will have a capacity of 150,000 feet a day and will have auxiliary plants for the manufacture of boxes, shingles and lath. When established the new en terprise is to give employment to 400 or 500 men. Mr David has been one of the most prominent sawmill men In the state of Washington, and has just sold out his Interests at Everett and Anacortes for $2,000,000. He expects to invest a large portion of his wealth in de veloping the timber Interests of the Lower Columbia river, having became convinced of the -splendid future of the region tributary to Portland. Oregon Slough has been dredged to permit of the deepest draught ves sels being anchored at the docks, from which point cargoes will be sent either by ship or sail to all parts of the world.

BID GOOD All Oregon Awakening to Creat Need for Them MEETING HERE ON NOV. 20 Will be Addressed by Judge Scott, President of the Oregon Guod Roads Association Oregon people arc realign more ,1 mere everv ,lv Ille necessity tar and more every day the necessity for building good roads. The demand for better highways is becoming im perative. Oregon s development is going forward faster than ever before and better roads must be had for handling the Increase of traffic. Fur thermore, those highwnys must b3 available for traffic at all seasons of the year. It has long been said that "necessity Ib the mother of inven tion.". The present necessity de mands that some avallablo means be devised for building good roads. United effort Is the first requisite for securing these means. That Is the object now being sought by tho Ore gon Good Honds Association united effort. The next thing will be to pro vldo the required funds for road building, and the third and final ob ject will be to apply the funds prop erly and judiciously. Through the efforts of tho good roads associations and the holding of good roads con ventions a unity of effort along these lines is beginning to be realized. The next Important step Is the raising of needed funds. A number of sugges tions in that regard are already be ing heard. One offered by several of the prominent business men of Port land seems to be a very practical one. In substance this Is to have the coin ing session of the legislature provide a tax levy of one mill on the tuxable property of the state, to be applied 'x htrlvply to road building. Thus every citizen whose property Is as sessed at $1 000 would pay one dollar per year Into the Btate road fund. This would create a fund of about $600,000 annually, and of which Multnomah county would pay one- bird. Douglas counly would pay $25,000 a year Into that fund. In applying the stnte fund on the roads, a comparatively small portion would he spent in Multnomnh county nnd Douglas county would probably re ceive $.0.000 out of the state fund, or twice as much as we put In. Fur ther than this, the S. P. U. R. Co. and outside holders of large tracts of tim ber lands in Douglas county now pay about 45 per cent of the annual taxes levied In tills county. Thus, out. of tho $25,000 to be paid by Douglas county Into the Btnte road fund, $11,- 250 would be paid by non-residents of the county, leaving loss than $14, 000 to bo paid by our own people. In return we may reasonably expect to get $;i0,ooo from the state fund to apply on the roads In this county. Kvery cltiz.cn should certnlnly he anxious to mako Hint kind of an In vestment. This will, of course, be ex clusive of the county and road dis trict funds and will be In addition inereio. we are assured that our county court expects to give much more attention than ever before to our public roads during the coming year, and If we can secure this much additional fltalo aid, as outlined above, good ronds building In Doug las county will soon be going ahead at a. rapiu pace. Meeting Here NVxt Friday. Hon. John II. Scott, nrcsident of the Oregon Good Ronds Association. was in Itoseburg Thursday evening and met with the local Commerclnl Club. After a brief address by Judge Scott It was voted to bold a big good roads convention In Koseburg next Irlday afternoon, Nov. 20. A speclnl effort will be made to make this an epoch-marking occasion In Douglas county. In furtherance of this the business houses of the town will be closed from 2 to 4 o'clock p. in. Kvery citizen of the county is InvlU-d to be present and express their views as to the best methods of securing good roads.

Representative Jones, of lndcncml. ence, Defends Statement No. 1. INDEPENDENCE, Or., Nov. 11. To the Editor of The Journal Be lieving iu the doctrine of free siieech and a free press, I grant the Oiogon lan the right to curse and vilify State ment No. 1 Republican members of the legislature to' Its heart'B con tent. For the past six months a large portion of the editorial page of that paper has, In nearly ovory issue, been I devoted to abuse of us poor devils. ana Knowing mat. me vaiuo of so much space In a great metropolitan paper Is very great, I ennnot con ceive how that paper can afford to waste so much on us Statement No. 1 members whom it has already read out of the Republican party, unless some one who aspires to the position of United States senator is behind the scene with a Back. I concede that the Oregonian has for 30 yenrs been the leading Re- ' , ri 1 "regou , conceue ' l.hnt tht OiegOlllan Worked hard Blld did more to cause the enactment of the direct primary law than all the other forces In Oregon combined. concede that tho Republican party passod the primary law. 1 concede that it was largely through the In fluence of the Oregonian that 50,- 000 people voted for the primary law and election of United States senators by the popular voto, wheroas only 16,000 voted against It. Who Passed the Ijiw? "Backward, turn backward, oh. time, In your flight," only n few years ago to the hall of tho state Beuate. and we find tho electric light Bhlnlnf; origniiy on mo men who formulnted and voted for that law, for the elec tion of Unltod Stntes senators by the popular vote, nil prominent in the councils of the Republican party. Hero they are: Senators Adams of Marion. Ilrownell, of Clackamas. Cameron of Jackson, Dlmick of Coos. Hunt of Multnomah. Johnson of Wasco. Joseph! of Multnomnh. Kelly of I, Inn. Kuykendall of I.ane. Looney of Marlon. MnrsterB of Douglas. MayB (author of tho bill) of Mult nomah. Mulkey of Polk. Porter of Clackamas. Proebstel of Umatilla. Slelwer of Wheeler. Williamson of Crook. And Present Senator Fulton. Turn back again for tho time, for 20 years, and come on down llio line, and we find every republican stnti convention passing resolutions In fa vor of election of United Stnte sena tors by popular vote nnd tho legis lators of the state of Oregon follow ing Bull. All those resolutions and promises and laws are violated even im.iihu me pcopie nave nau an oppor tunity to try them out or enforce them. niicKwarci, again, a llttlo more innn a deendo, and we find that some of the now Republican leaders were then wandering awny from tho Ke publican fold, following after false gods, and voting Tor the unlimited coinage of Tree silver at tho rntlo of 16 to 1 and advocating lluwe thoughts through the columiiB of the oregonian. Was He Wroiiir Then? If the able editor of the Oregon- inn nas become convinced that h was wrong when ho advocated the primary' law and tho election of United States senators by the popular voie, would it not be better for hi to come out and acknowledge the error of his way and right tho wrong by good, clean argument, and not by calling Statement No. 1 Republi cans fools and cowards and violators or meir oaths and the constitution? nut it Is Mr. Scott's policy to rule or ruin, and he is attempting to rule all the Republicans out of the party who are advocating the very doctrine tnnl he rormerly preached. If Mr. Scott was right when he advocated tho election of senators by the pop ular vote, he Is wrong now. When the Renubllcnns iilcilirol uiemseives to voto for tho late Sena tor J. N. Dolph for re-election, and violated their sacred pledge, the Ore gonian for many months nhiiscd them and read them out of the Republican pnny. if you wore right then. Mr. Scott, you are wrong now when you ask Republican members of the legislature to violate their pledge made to the whole people; and If you were right, Mr. Scott, when you abused Republicans for violating their pledge to Senator Dolph, you were wrong when you telegraphed to Senator Ilrownell on the last day of tne session of 1903, to voto for II. W Scott for United States Senator and violate the pledge he had made to vote for Senator Fulton The Republican party passed the primary law. All the Republican leaders of Oregon advocated It. Mr Scott wrote some of tho most abl editorials thnt were ever published In favor of this law that ho Is now condemning. Lincoln has said ttiat "the best way to repeal a bad law Ii to enforce it." I have onfldencf in the people and In tho Republics parly that If they And the primary law la not a good law they will by their votes repeal It. II. F. JONKS.
