Newspaper Page TextTIIK OREGON MIST Davis S8os., ruvusHh-fts. OaitcdStatenEitotT Official Pap FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1894, CHSAP MACADAM. In a recent edition of this paper we devoted considerable space to the sub ject of macadam roads, and the bene Ills to be derived by establishing them ill this county. We do not undertak to nay I hat these roads are the chenp est in point of actual construction, but . wu do maintain that they are by far the most sntUIactory and economical lor tins county to build. The exper ience of road building in this county lias been, and will continue to be. identical with that of other counties in our state, especially that part of it lying west of the Cascade range.where much rain prevails, and this exper ience has been that earth roads are out of the question altogether, and that planked roads are not satisfactory for two reu8ans-7first, they are not sufficiently durable for continuous heavy traffic, aud secondly they are too sjippery ii) suowy or frosty weather for mountain roads. None of these charges can be made against macadam however, and the weight of argument is, therefore, largely in their favor. As above stated, we advocate mac adam roads, and in the article referred to we recommended the coqnty to purchase stone-crushers for tbe manu facture of its own macadarn. We have since devoted some pains to. the col lection of tacts as to tbe cost aud c pftcity of these machines, also the re sults to be obtained from a day's rnn and the average cost P operating them. We find that a crusher, such ns is used by Messrs. Burke & Cbap- tiwn of this place4 can, be purchased at a cost of $500, and that iu a ten hours' run it will crush 125 yards of roc suitable for use on county roads. 'ba average operating expenses of the plant, we are assured, will not he more than ten cents per yard, and 125 yards of rock will macadamize 375 lineal feet of road, six inches deep, and sixteen fuel wide. These results recommend themselves without farther argument, Another phase of this matter is the question of road taxes. We are con firmed in the opinion that this county should collect road taxes in cash and put tbe fund thus created at the dis posal of qualified supervisors to be used in operating stone-crushers aud macadamizing the roads. Multnomah and Washington counties are using - (his system of road-making success fully and with entire satisfaction, and the roiids of those counties are both a pretiit to their enterprise and a com fort to the people. This county roust adopt? a sirailiar system before we will ever h,ve a satisfactory solution of the road question. CABSFVl INVESTORS, Tbe eagerness with which capitalists are clamoring for an opportunity to invest their money in the 150,000,000 ix-per-cent government bonds, which Mr. Carlisle proposes to issue in order to replenish the $100,000,000 gold re serve, is conclusive evidence of the fact that there is yet a little money left in the country, notwithstanding the statements of some people to the contrary, and that the owners of it are willing to invest it in anything that is comparatively safe, even though it may bring an interest rate of only one per cent. . Mr. Carlisle has asked con gress for permission to issue $200,000,- O00 in government bonds, which shall : bear not more than six per cent inter- cat, and before bis recommendation bus even been considered by congress, lie is besieged with oSera from capi talists who are anxious to buy the bonds at from two to three per cent interest, .This is an indisputable evidence of the fact that tbe concentration of suoney is the direct result of the un certain policy of the democratic ad ministration, and the almost absolute certainty that the present protective tariff will be destroyed, and every in dustry in tbe country which has flour, ished under it writ be forced into eoea (petition with those of foreign countries, 'which would result in closing every .factory ja -the country, or ior.ee tbe proprietor to sell liis goods at free-trade prices, and .the .operatives to .compete, with pauper labor. Witfi the certainty 1 these .things in sight, it is small woudar .that capitalists will not invest their money in any kind of specula tion or .hiuatfd. There Is more money in Hie country now than ever before, ihut it is held Ay jnen who have ac eu inflated it -by practical business methods, and they .cannot be expected to -scatter il broadcast .over the .coun try, just ifor .the accommodation of those who hae been less fortunate or anceossf ul. nor o jeopardize their for- tnnes ly inventing them in any kind of an enterprise where there is noth ing Imt. certain ruin .ahead, and that in plaiu sight. 3t the administ ration di'tinn its po'icy .on , ifuw questions, .and give the people some idea of what 'the future, is to be, and there cannot ibclp but .be a I. leant . seme change .for the -better. Jasvasx 29ih 1ms been -eel -for the date vf final vote on the Wilson bill. Doth the opponents aud adherents of the bill are doing everything possible to advance their interests, but it is not thought the bill will pass the bouse at all, except in an amended form, aud then only by a very small majority. If the bill ever reaches the seuato in any ?hape il is destined to strike a snag which will rip it from stem to stern, and send it to oblivion, where it be longs. Tomorrow has been fixed as tbe date for the formal opening of the Midwinter fair, which the Californium claim is now complete in every par ticular, and ready for public- inpec tion. If this is trite, tho projectors of tbe fair are certainly entitled to the credit of being the greatest hue tiers on record, and their exhibition should be patronized by the entire world.
