R0A0 MAKING IN OREGON
The Good Roads Convention that has
just closed an interesting session at Cor-
vallis, Oregxi discussed roads and road
making in an agreeable, and i to be hoped,
i.i an effective manner, but talk will noi
meke roads, (f the peop'e really want
roads they must make them. .
Governor Chamberlain, in an address.
advocated that the Congress' of the
United States should be asked to make an
appropriation to assist the people of Ore
gon in country road making, which looks
well on paper, and the "only' objection to
it is that it may have a tendency to make
the people want the general government
to do what they can and should do for
themselves.
The general government has already
made liberal appropriations of land . to
assist Oregon in road making. Should
our representative in the national congress
ask for money aid, and some inquisitive
member from some other state should
ask for a showipg as to what Oregon has
done with the proceeds of the 1,801.050
acres, which the United States has grant
to Oregon, . proceeds of which were to be
used in wagon road making, what answer
could our members , make? How much
good or even passable wagon road can
our mombers or anybody point to in ' re
ply to the question, or give any satisfact
ory explanation as to what has been done
with the procdeJs of the land, which at
the minimum price of public land should
have brou,(.. i to the state $2.ol3iK).
Perhaps Our readers, who know the
actual conditions of the public roads in
Oregon, and that the residents of the sev
eral road districts or the taxpayers there
in did the work or furnished the means
wherewith the roads were constructed.
and never having heard ' of these land
grants, may think there must be some
mistake about the above statement. The
official records bear out the Observer's
statement and show that the act " admit
ting Oregon into the Union granted Ore
gon 600.000 acres of land for road mak
ing. ' In J86f 'Congress granted "561.
127.43 acres of iand 'to5 build a '' wagon
road from Eugena east through the Klam
ath county. In 1866 Congress granted
76,835.98 acres to construct a wagon
road rrom Corvallisto Uquina Bay. The
ame year Congrese 'granted ' to Oregon
107.893.01 acres to build the Willamette
valley and Cascade Mountain waeonroad
Iif l867 Congress granted 126.910.23
aeje$ of land to Oregon to make a wagon
road from The Dalles to Snake river, and
b !869 a grant'of l64,08a'l 1 acnes wa
made for constructing a wagon road
froni Coos Bay to Roseburg. , The total
of all these grants is 1.80 1.040.47 acres
.iTie only explanation as to what has
become of all these acres, our represent
atlve irt Congress can- give is that the
state turned the land over to corporations
that did not build roads but kept the land.
' The next question that will bo asked
Our members in Congress is "what evi-
wwim nave we, in. view or the past or
still later events, that Orogan will handle
hy money the government may grant it
to build roads with to any better purpose
than heretofore?' Wi"i sj: a record
what hope is there that C?r--s will
vote money for road buildtit i.i regon?
If roads are built in Oregon,' ,0.- i nian.
must do it It is a waste of time in ' .b
Congress for further aid in that line.
