TAXED BY BAD ROADS
In the late Good Roads convention
held at Salem, Oregon,, it was given out
that after careful investigation it had been
ascertained, that the cost of moving a ton
of farm produce from the farm to a ship
ping point,' not counting me expense 01
loading and unloading, was, on Oregon
roads in their present condition, twelve
cents per mile, and if the roads were as
good as they could be made at a reason
able expense the cost would be not to
exceed eight cents per mile. These
figures show that the producers of Oregon
are paying four cents par mile, on every
mile a ton of . their produce hat to be
hauled over county roads, as a bad
road tax. v- . '
A few figures will show that this bad
road tax it a very considerable burden on
the farmers and people generally in Ore
gon. In the annual report of the U. S
Department of Agriculture for 1903
jives the number of acres that year in
lay at 364,149 with an average yield of
2.0? tone per acre and in the aggregate
?53,788 ton valued on the farm at
$10.18 per ton and that the whole crop
was valued on tne farm at $7,673,662
to move all of this crop, on Oregon roads
n their present condition, would cost one
nile at 12 cents per ton $90,454.56. If
the roads were as good at they could be
made at' a reasonable expense and the
cost of moving be reduced from 12 cent
to 8 cents per mile It would cost but
60,454,50 to move the whole hay crop
one mile, or $30,424.62 less than it now
sosts, . ' "' ;'
In Oregon there were 35.837 farms in
1900. reported in the 12 th U. S. census.
it these 9,712, or more than one third of
all the farms in Oregon derived their
principal Income from hay and grain but
many others grew hay at a minor crop.
Estimating that one half of the hay crop
in Oregon it consumed on the farm where
grown by the growers and there remaina
576.894 tons that pay the four cents a
ton for every - mile it has to be hauled
over Oregon , roads on its way to con
sumers and placing the average distance
it has to be hauled at five miles they pay
forty cents a ton as a bad road tax,
making the total of such tax that the
Oregon hay crop or the growers there of
pay aggregate $150,757.60 peryear.
The annual report of the U. S. denart-
of agriculture for 1003, gave the total
wheat crop of Oregon at 12,438 827
buihelt. r 873.lt 6 t t t7move thit crop
over one mile of Oregon roads at they
now are at 12 cents per ton. would cost
$4,772.60 and for five miles $223,863.
If our roads ware made good ones, as to
grades, surface, mud holes and bridges
the cost of mourn a ton of wheat over
them reduced from 12 to 8 cents per
mile, the cost of moving a crop the same
size as that of 1903 would cot for i,.l
ing it one mile over the country roads in
Oregon would be $29,848.40 or $14,.
924.20 lest than it now costs, and for a
Rve mile haul on good .roads the cost of
moving a crop of wheat the same size of
that in Oregon in 1 903 would be $74,62 1 .
or in other worde the tax on the wheat
growers of Oregon it now $74,621
annually. - ?
There were in ISM, 1,676 farmers In
Oregon whose principal income was from
vegetables. 1072 who grew fruits as
their main source of revenue. 3.751 who
depended chiefly on dairy products, and-
9.326 who had no special cron. all th...
are Interested In good roads equal if not
mora than the hay and wheat trro..r.
The 10.281 farms chiefly growing Kve
hock care little about the roads, the M
drive their stock to market."
Terrific Race With Death.
"Death was fast approaching." writes
Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa. Fla, de
scribing his fearful race with death, ."as
a result of liver trouble and heart dis
ease, which had robbed me of sleep and
of all interest in life. I had tried many dif
ferent doctors and several medicines, but
got no benefit, until I began to use Elec
tric Bitters. So wonderful was their ef
fect, that in three days I felt like a new
man. and today I am cured of all my
troubles." Guaranteed at Newlin's Drug

MEAT CHEAP
But not Cheap Mea1
Having purchased the Bock & Thomas
shops and also the Bull market we are
in position with the three shops, to furnish
our patrons with choice meats at a less
price than if we had only one shop. It is
not our intention to raise the price on
meats, but tt is our intention to reduce the
price, and thereby hope to increase our
trade. A trial order will convince you of
the assertion.
