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.

THIiEE STATES IX GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
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-

People are certainly taking advantage
of the present Opportunity to lay in a

Most everybody knows that they have to
