ROSEBURG. OREGON, WEONESOAV, JUNE 10, 1923,
ONLY ONE IN TEN
if j
rf
v..
Only one farm in ten in Oregon is equipped for electric
or gas service, according to recent statistics compiled, b g-
ures recently studied show that of the 50,206 farms in the
state, only 5,463 farms, or 10.9 per cent, make use of elec
tricity and gs, and of this number 5,250 received central
station service.
While the number of Oregon farms having gas and
electricity is somewhat above the figure for the United
States, it is comparatively low when placed alongside the
fact that 50.5 per cent of the farms having telephone sorV'
ice and 71.2 per cent that have automobiles. This gives rise
to simulation as to whether the farmer is content to sacri
fice greater comfort and convenience made possible by elec
tricity and gas in favor of rapid communication and trans
portation that the telephone and auto make possible.
The big drawback to more general use of electricity on
farms in the state up to the present has been the high prices
made necessary for its delivery into distant sections, and'
this has served to discourage many from use of it. Inde
pendent plants for the individual farms have proven popu
lar in some localities, and experiments now being conducted
on farms in several states is expected to throw new light
on this problem and electrical engineers predict as great a
revolution in the use of electricity in the country in the com
ing decade as was noted in the past decade in the cities.
- While electricity on the farm is used mostly for light
ing purposes, the farmer with this power at his command
han been able to be relieved of many of the tasks around
the home place. Electricity does not only pump water for
the home, drive the washing machine, heat the electric iron,
run the vacuum cleaner, charge the radio and automobile
tatteries, but it has brought efficiency with it by lighting
the.yard, stables, and lofts, drives the milking machine, the
cream separator, the churn, the grindstone and emery wheel
and the general utility motor. Electricity has also been used
to light poultry houses as a. stimulant to egg production, to
operate incubator ventilation and controls and occasionally
for grinding feed, sawing wood, as well as hoisting hay and
grain. ,

WHY NOT A "B" LINE?
SB
Under the foregoing caption the Western World, pub
lished at Eandon, Oregon, has the following to say:
The official map of the state highway department re
veals the fact that there are several state highways extend
ing north and south across Oregon, namely, the l'acific, the
Roosevelt and the Dalles-California highways, while there
Is only one the Columbia river highway extending east
and west. There are several additional roads or sectors of
highways running in a general cast and west direction but
apparently no one trunk line system across southern or cen
tral Oregon.
. , To adequately facilitate motor travel through the cen
tral part of the state, and to give a more direct outlet to the
sea from isolated inland sections that are soon to experience
great development because of the building of railroad con
nections, there should be a modern highway designed and
defined from Dutte, Montana, through the Black foot coun
try" in Idaho to Boise, from Boise to Burns, Oregon, and
from Burns to Bnndon-by-the-Sea. This route should be
definitely surveyed and located, and within the boundaries
of the various states through which it extends should re-
ceive state aid as a trunk line. It might appropriately be
christened the "B" line.
The highway from Bandon east to Roscburg is com
pleted. Ro.seburg and Douglas county, without state aid are
projecting a road up the north fork of the I'mpqua, which
.would reach the summit of the Cascades between Diamond
Uike and CriiU-r Lake. A short distance farther east would
intersect the Dalles-California line, and thence pass over a
country of easy roust ruction through the Silver Ijikc coun
try and on to Burns, there to make connection with a rather
definitely located highway extending eastward to the state
line not far from Boise.
Yes, there is an ideal route for another east and west
trjlnk line across central-southern Oregon Butte-Ulnckroot-Boise-Buriis-Iiaiidon
the "B" line.

the Protestant chutchea of the
city to unite during the summer
for their evening services, a plan
which has met with much favor
during the past, and which will
undoubtedly be continued thru
out the future years. Because of
the absence of eo many people
