ABOUT
GOOD

The people ot Western and Southern
Oregon seem to be taking a more lively
interest in good roads than has been
so far manifested by the people gener
ally in Eastern Oregon. The Observ
er believes that good roads are of as
muoh concern to the people of Union
county as to any other county in the
state and hopes soon to see as much
interest taken In good road making
here as elsewhere. The following dis
patch taken from the Portland Joornal
Indicates how the feeling runs in the
Willamette valley. -Hilltborot
Jan. 4. Good roads was
the topio of absorbing interest to Hills
boro citizens yesterday. The occasion
was the meeting of mors than 200
prominent cilisen and farmers of
Washington eonnty to disease the bet
terment of the public highways in the
near futore. '
Several men of prominence in good
roads advancement were present from
other counties and towns in the state
and took an active part.
County Jndge L A Rood presided at
the meeting and George A Morgan act
ed as secretary.
