The Observer basing its hope on what Uuion county has ac complished in other lines, be- neves ma at no aisiau uj - iup county will have the best coun try roads of any county iu Ore gon . No country on earth has bettpr, material, and lew. .auj thing like as good1 for making first class and endurable coun try rpsds as this county has The .oeii is pone lo gouu ir ur people and therefore the Obser ver favors the making of Maca dam roads. We have before us Partners Bulletin No 05 publish! edby the U 8 Department, of Agriculture,' prepared by - Man-, rice 0 EHridge acting director of the Bureau of Public Road Iuquiry, which shows a two mule team drawing a load of ten bales of cotton, 5000 pounds on a macadamized road in Meck linburg county, N Carolina, where formerly on earth roads . in fairly good weather the same two mules onld have hauled tint tarn halflfl. The can now haul the ten bales 5f cotton in any weather and all seasons of , me year. Objectors may meet our plea for pood roads in Union county with the statement that ' Meck- older and richer than Union county let as see about that. That there may be no guess ing we will take the following cold figures from the U S cen sus of 1900 and from them de termine bow much more able North Oarolnia is to build good roads than is Oregon Iu 1000 Oregon had a populatioa of 413, 530 on an area of 96,030 square miles; North Carolina had 1,893 810 people on an area of 62,250 square miles. This gives NO .about four times as many people as Oregon. N Carolina like Oregon is an agricultural state, deriving primarily its in come from the soil. Table CXXIII on page CXXX I vol. V. U S census "report of 1900 gives the gross farm in come of 1899, including annual additions to value of farm pro perty in N Carolina and Oregon and number oi persoua engageu in agriculture on Juue 1, 1900, as follows: In N Carolina the gross fatui income including additioua to value ot farm pro- nertv 180.91 3.467. the mcieaee g - - - - Fiiiiiiii mm . ; ; ; 1 r to farm property being $1,712, 719. The number of persona engaged in agriculture was 465, 767. These figures give the annual per capita incomg to those engaged in agriculture at 117314. in Oregen the total gross farm income for the ssme period including additions to farm property was $343,869,891 The increase to value of farm property , being $2,973,649 or nearly twice the increase in NO. There were . engaged in agriculture that year in Oregon 65,SC9 persons If the total gross income from the Oregon farms bb equally devided among the ' persons engaged thertin the share of each cue wuld be $624.80, or . $151.66 more than i be Carolina farms produced per capita to the, persons who, fork ed them ' From the above figur es it would seem that the own ers of Oregon lands, were to have' the whole' expense of making good roads placed upon mem, which ii. c: ;uo cs:?, a11 ww.artAatf w in lliA elota 'Y1 11 contribute to road mtking. we are more abte to build gooJr than are the North Carolida.
