PROPOSED NEW CHARTER
., It will only require $100 more to sink
the artesian well which is now down over
800 feet near Alicel to 1000 feet This
amount should be raised ' without any
trouble. The indications ars that what
now looks like a failure may be turned in
to a grand success. There has never been
a well that hat reached a depth of 1000
feet in the valley, and this ons should nst
be abandoned when a trifling sum like
$100 would secured a well deeper than
all others.' .
We cannot expect much at the closing
session of this congress in the way of se
curing a federal building for La Grande
but remember it will not be long unti
March 4 rolls around and the sixtieth
congress begins. During this congress
the federal building proposition should
be past the resolution stage, alto past the
pre-election period. Our readers will re
member about the only mention of the
federal building for La Grande occurs just
a few weeks prior to primaries and here
tofore legislative sessiors which elected.
United States senators. It requires about
so much talk however to sscurs anything
of a public natura and ws have about
passed thru this period. It is about time
that something tangible was bemg accomplished.'
The trend of public opinion towards a
realization of good roads is forcibly sug
gested in the fact that no less than five
representative citizens of Union county
will attend the Good Roads Convention
which meets this wsek in Salem. Think
of it people traveling three' hundred and
fifty riles to iitten to a few speeches on
how to maks good roads. The suggestion
twenty-flvs years ago would have , pro
duced little if anything but ridicule. The
idea a few years ago that counties and
municipalities could spsnd thousands of
dollars for steam rollers and rock crush
ers and gradsrs, as an investment would
have been scoff td at and not a few would
have suggested graft. That day is past
We have as people passsd the experi
mental Stags, and the most prosperous
countiss all ovar are those who are build
ing or laying the foundation for permanent
roads.
Union county according to ths estimates
of Commissioner Ben Brown, has spent
on her county roads no less than $400,
000 and net a few who' read this will im
mediately ask thsmsslves, What have ws
to shsw fer it? We have, in fact ss good
reads as the average county, which has
plodded along in about the same manner
as we have. But along the thought of
traasportation, what was considsred good
enough a few years ago will not mset the
requirements of today, Fifteen yei
ago every one thought the road bed, rs
and rolling stock of the O R & N Company
was ample for all time to seme. Within
that short period we find the grades ware
toe hSavy, the long wooden tressels re
placed by immense dirt fills, ' the 60 lb.
rails had to give way to the 90 lb. rails.
The switch engine today in the LaUrande
yards is heavier by many tons than ths
onss used on the main line when the road
was first built
A train of eighteen loaded cars at one
time caused more comment than a train
of sixty or more cars today.
This same idea is being extended to the
public roads. In some counties of ths
state farmers can now haul a load of
7000 pounds with more ease than they
could a few years ago 1500 pounds.
Good roads not unlike all substantial
improvements meant an investment but
the old policy or system often resulted in a
continual expense instead of a permanent
investment.
