Charges Against Hans' Guards.
Detective Burns last night filed

Repeated rebukes by the court to

County League Formed to Advance This
Movement in Every Possible Man

This afternoon's good roads
meeting was productive of the
organization of the IKH'ULAS
COUNTY J001 ltOADH

permanent o dicers:
President Morris Weber,,
of Edenbowor.
Viee-ProHldent E. E. La-
Brie, of Koaeburg.
ft secretary t-raiiK m. Alley,
of Roseburg.
Treasurer B. W. Strong, of
of
itoseburg.
The signatures of ovor 100
those iu attendance at the
meeting were appended to the
articles of organization, which
read, in part, as roiiows:
"The purpose of this asso-
emuon is to encourage and as-
siut In the construction and
maintenance of permanent pub-
He ronds in Hits comity and
throughout the state, and wo
ench personally, pledge our-
selves to do everything in our
power to further the good
roadh movement and secure
Biich legislation as may be nec-
essary to inaugurate and carry
on the construction of a sys-
tem of permanent public high-
ways throughout the state."
Today's good roads convention was
opened at 2 o'clock p. m., with music
by the local band, starting at the
Commercial Club headquarters and
marching to the court house, where
the exercises were held. Several se
lections were there played while the
crowd was assembling. The buslnesB
houses were closed, as per previom
"TiTiMvncPtiK nt, and a large portion of
the business people of the town were
among the largo crowd in attendance.
'1 he audience filling the courtroom in
eluded a good number of ladies, all
intent on further the building of
good ronds in this county
On motion of Judge Hamilton, who
railed the assemblage to order, Hon
Dexter Ufce was chosen chairman of
the meeting. Mr. Rice opened the
session by a few remarks on the im
portnnt question of building good
roads. He gave the road supervisors
and the county court credit for doing
the best they could with the means at
their command, but heretofore those
means have been inadequate for the
purpose and In consequence we have
had to struggle along with poor high
ways. On motion of P. R. Alley, It
W. Strong was chosen secretary of
ine meeting.
On motion of Hon. J. A. Buchanan
seconded by Atty. Louis Barzee, a
committee of three was authorized
(o formulate resolutions to be sub
mitted to this meeting during the af
tnrnoon. The chairman named ar
this committee,, Messrs. Buchanan,
Barzee and Judge Hamilton.
Judge John H. Scott, for eight
years county judite of Marlon county
where he gained a slate-wide rent.
lnti:ui as a builder of good mad?
was Introduced as the prluclpa
-p:iker of the day. He opened by
-omplimeutlng the Indies on t h nit
presence, nnrf also of their influence
on the building of good roads.
Judge Ncott'n Itcmarks.
Judge Scott began his remark?
with the assertion that a large major
ity of the people consider the problem
if good roads too great to meet In 0
financial way. He declared, however,
that after the problem was carefully
considered those people would find
out that grod, substantial roads
could be built with means at hand
Ho then reviewed the work and ob
jectB of the meeting at Portland last
August, where the Oregon Good
Roads Association was formed and
the present campnign for all-state co
operation launched.
'Our immediate object," said
Judge Scott, "is to establish a "Good
Roads League In every county i:
the state. Then we can co-operate I
a systematic way toward making
demand upon the legislature for fin
anrial aid from the Btate govern men
A levy of one mill upon the 'present
valuation of property In Oregon
would bring about $600,000. Of
course, the state will n'it be expected
to bear all the expense. The count
In which road building Is carried
would be called mn to bear a por
tion of the cost, while the abtittln
property owners would also bo ex
pected to bear a snare.
Judge Scott said that the state con
victa could be employed to good ad
antage In breaking the rock necewary
for the roans, but he advocated th
remainder of the work bHng done by
free laborers and farmers. I sing
niece of chalk and a blackboard, th
sneaker then illustrated differen
types of modern highways and ex
plained their cost and etil'iency.
"The object of the local leagues
continued the ppeaker. "H to dete
mine what sort of roads are wante.
In the respective localities. The peo.
plo back of the association have no
.flnlln nlan in View
they reallre
that before anything can he done
they must have co-operation on part
of the state. Just as booh as suffi
cient branches of the association are
formed to- give the movement state
width in scope, definite plans will be
outlined preparatory to applying to
the legislature for state aid. In alt
of the other counties I have visited
leagues have been formed, and 1
urge your county to fall iu line with
out delay."
Judge Scott, in closing, told of the
good roads movements in other
state, chief among them California,
1?
f
where, in Los Angeles county alone.
J,roo,000 In bonds were voted for
uildlng highways. "When states
got to co-operating," declared Judge
Scott, "then the uatlonal government
ill do as much toward aiding the
building of better roads ns It has
done toward the Improvement of har
bora and waterways."
Mr. Ilcrimiim Seuks.
When the applause following
udge Scott b address had died away
the chairman called upon Hon. Bin
ger Hermann for a speech. Mr. Her
mann responded as follows, In part:
'It has boon said that the greater
the nation the finer the roads, hut
not so with our country, for wo have
the worst roads of any nation. Cities
nve been built un at the oxneiisp
or trie rural districts, and the per
centage of state wealth Is rapidly in
creasing in favor of the cities. The
so-called drudgery of country life Is
greatly accentuated by bad roads
We are now In the spirit of our fore
fathers of 100 years ago. Acting up
on the recommend of President Jef
ferson, congress appropriated $14.
000,000 for the construction of the
great highway commencing in Vir
glnta and extending to tho Minn-mi'
River. Had It not been for that
ond, tho development, of our grea
westorn country would have delayed
a quarter of a century, uovorntnon
aid will never again be extended to
wnrd the building of good highways
until the people tnke the Initiative
The government has expended ir.Ou
000,000 for the improvement of hnr
bors and waterways: 19ti.000.000
acres of nubile land has been given
for the construction of railroads and
only 3.200,000 acres of land have
been allotted for the building of wn
gon roads. It is high time now tha
the government was commencing to
aid the people In building roads. Ou
roads at this day are fnr worse In
proportion than they were during Hi
timea of Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roo. Good roads and prosperity g
hand-ln-hand. A bad farm on a goo
road Is infinitely better than a good
farm on a bad rond. Don't he afraid
to Bpend money for this work. Th
revenuo of your county will return
t hundred-fold for money expended
n good rond building. (Applause.
