It. will prove a valuable measure of economy also, as roads when once improved will be kept in good condition by the patrolmen, instead of being allowed to go to pieces during the winter season for lack of attention. A thorough patrol system for the public roads is one of the best measures ever adopted in this county for general road betterment. v. 1 1 !

Special attention is to be given to the improvement of the Pacific Highway in Oregon this year by the Tri-state Good Roads Association of California, Oregon and Washington. This was shown at the meeting which was held last week, when four of the five directors of the association were chosen from this state. They are: John A. Weslcrlund, Med lord, president; C. C. Chapman, "Portland, vice-president; George E. lioos, Medford, executive sec retary; W. C. Leever, ex-Jackson County commissioner, Central Point, director and chairman advisory board; J. Edgar Allen, San Francisco, Cal., treasurer; C. Y. Tengwald, assistant secretary. The purpose of the association for the year 1917 is to de vote its best ell'orts for the betterment of good roads in the state of Oregon and especially the construction and completion of the Pacific Highway, connecting the slates of Washington and Cali fornia, and other roads and highways provided for in the Oregon $i,000,0U0 bill. An advisory board, consisting of good road advocates of every city and town in Oregon, will be selected shortly to assist the association in organizing a strong campaign. The states of Washington and California, which are vitally interested in roads, will also be called upon to help. The newly appointed state highway commission of Oregon are also preparing to take up their duties in an active manner. . While they expect to hold frequent meetings, each of the three members will give special attention to certain "counties. The district assigned to Chi'irman Iienson, who resides in Portland, includes the' following counties: Tillamook, Yamhill, Washington, Clatsop, Columbia, Multnomah, Clackamas, Hood Uiver, Wasco, Lincoln and Polk. Commissioner W. L. Thompson, whose home is at Pendleton, will look alter all of Eastern Oregon except Wasco and Klamath counties. Commissioner Adams, whose home is in Eugene, will look after all of Western Oregon not listed in llenson's district. He will also look alter the interests of Klamath County. All three commissioners will consider requests coming from Mariop County. Chairman I'.enson made the .statement that, if the Sl,0tl(l,('0(l bonds are voted, the commission must see to it that the work to l e done by the state is not scattered in such a manner that n showing of results will be mark'. II expressed the view that long strips of main highways should be built so the people will more readily see the benefits. Chairman I'.enson agreed to confer at once with representa tives of the Federal highway department and the Federal forestry department to ascertain the steps necessary to be taken by the state to obtain the co-operation of the Federal Government in tin construction of forest and post roads under the terms of the Shackleford bill. "We are going to conduct heal ings at different points in tin slate, much as the public service commission does," slated E. .1 Adams, a member of the board. "Inasmuch as we shall probably be called upon to conduct as many as a hundred of these hearings in the next '.)( (lays, the commission has divided the state, and each commissioner will conduct the hearings in his own part ol the state. Ordinarily, we will wait for invitations from the com munities interested, but when we know of a problem that need. looking into we may call a hearing on our own initiative, setting date on which one of the commissioners is likely to be in that pari of the stale." Mr. Adams will address a meeting at Grants Pass on March 12, and another at Marshlield on March Hi. A number of important maltVi s will be discussed informally at the good roads convention at Eugene next Saturday, at whirl session all the members of the state highway commission will In present. Ill this connection the remark ol Chairman I'.enson i. ery significant. He said that "long strips of the main state high ways should be built, so the people may more readily see the bene fits'." It would therefore seem highly important that liougla. County be well represented at Kugvne Saturday. It would no doubt help Douglas County's standing very ma terially in the way of securing the earliest co-operation of tin state highway commission in building hard surface roads in this county, for a large delegation to go to Eugene next Saturday with the proposal that Douglas County will furnish the required grades and foundation for oil miles of this road if the state will pae tin same next year. That. would be acting in accord with Mr. Hen son's suggestion that long strips of road lie built in one placi rather than have the paving done here and there in smaller sec tions. As about one-third of the Pacific Highway in Oregon lies within Douglas County, the sooner work can be. started thereor the better. Some objection is being oll'eied against voting the :?i',t'it.HII bond issue for the reason that this sum will only pave a t raction of the state highways. This is not sullifient reason for otinj. against the bond issue, however. A start must h - made sunn time, and 'his $li,OO0, 0(1(1 will pave at least half of the 1200 miles of slide highways outlined by the bonding act for hard surfacing If applied consecutively this would mean the paving of the ontir; Pacific Highway through Western Oregon, as well as 100 miles ol road alontr the Columbia Kiver and '200 miles through Fasten Oregon within the next the years. I'.y that time the state nl probahlv dech.p a road fund of SI, 000.000 a year from varum; sources which would be sullicient to continue the paving work at the rate of loo miles annually. It is believed all this can be ac complished without any increase of taxation. Hence there is tu occasion for delay. Let us begin modern road building at tin earliest possible moment. One important result -inns likely to accrue from the series of joint meetings held by the ,.,.al Merchants' Association and the Granges of this vicinity during the past few weeks. It will be remembered that at a scs-ion with the Looking Glass Grange lab :.. i ..... ., w,i-.nw.nt -tarti-d for instituting a patrol sys- 4...,', 'r.,- il... i, ill. lie roads of the county. Yesterday this matter w a presented to the County Court by memU r.s of the Grange and the Merchants' Association and assurance was given that the patrol .system would probahlv be put into etb rt next year when the dis trict road supervisors will be abolished. This is one ol the most important moves ever taken here toward keeping the public lny.li- i CUT NEWS I It J- City lo I'nlnt llliildiiifj , Aec-oi-dinj! to .Mayor liiie, the city 4" will noon l.eisiu the painting of the M exhibit btiildinK at the depot.
