The death of Max Hart, vic
tim of pneumonia, ends a ca
reer honorable, and useful to
this country. . ' ' - '
Brought to . America as a
child from Germany, with his
brother, Harry Hart, who sur
vives him, the two brothers be
gan working in childhood, and
had worked ever since without
cessation.
Only a few days aeo this
writer talked with Max Hart in
Chicago, asking why he con
tinued long working hours at
75 years of age. with a fortune
accumulated.
.
"I work," said Max Hart,
"because I like work, and be
cause my associates and I, in
doing work that we need not
do, provide work for thousands
of others that do need work,
and encourage ; young men
starting in business for them
selves." -
Max Hart was a good Amer

dwindling away of the former-;

I thank you very much for the

This Information -1 have not pre

I am giving active 'attention to
my bill for the appropriation of
$300,000 for this road. 1 think you
will also be interested to know
that there Is a bill known os the
Colton bill now being considered
by the committee on roads of the
house. This bill was Introduced by
Mr. Colton, the senior- member
from the west on the committee of
roads, who, for that reason, is act
ing in the Interest of us all. This
bill proposes the appropriation of
$3,600,000 for each or three years
for the purpose . of constructing
roads in the public domain. At my
suggestion Mr. Colton will amend
his bill so that roads in national
forests will be . specifically men
tioned. 'I appeared before the commit
tee on roads recently and made a
statement for the necessity for ad
ditional public roads in the na
tional forests for the protection of
the immense property of the gov
ernment. 1 was told afterwards
that the committee considered the
statements 1 made to be of -very
great Importance. 1 used the North
Umpqua road, for the service it
would render to the national for
