He , has been in La Grande and many here 1 have heard him aJvance hla P. schemes In rotd improvement He contends that it Is not money, rocks, or gravel that public roads are constructed from, but public senti ment. He argues that it is not until the people demand a thing that the legislature Is certain to make that thing a law. If the people of the state were to be brought to realise the need and the vast benefits that would come from well-ronstructea High ways Unking all parts of the state to gether, then It would be easy not only to secure the passage of a full and adequate highway law, but It would also be es'y t'' ny-i.t that law effect- Iva and bind countv to county and town to town with broad and serviceable highways within very few years. In the opinion of Judge Webster the first task ahesd of the coming con- rer..nca m ill he tn hnlld 11 n that nubile u.ntlm.nl Ihrnnohftlil the .tnl whli will rauso a public demand for good roads legislation.' Then it will be easy to Induce the legislature to enact a good roads law. Judge Webster believes that the state should make an appropriation of $10,000 for each county In the state, the appropriation to be available when the county had set aside an equal sum for the construction of permanent roads within Its boundaries. He believes that there should be a law which would glva one man the su pervision of all the road construction In the state, that engineers should be provided to Isy out roads scientifically and remodel old ones until they could be put In passable shape. Working County Comk'te. Olven this machinery of the law providing for th construction of good roads In every county. Judge Webster would go yet step beyond. He would WAmm & BMLEY CmCUS$ necessities give you rue iiiaei ti Ho Coupons giiien on the Bargain Basement where tickets are taken Golden Rule have it made lawful for each county to work Its county convicts on the roads of the county. In much the same manner as the Multnomah prisoners are now worked at Kelly Butte. He would have it also provided that the convicts of different counties could be bunched together were the number too small in one county alone, and In, this manner carry on the good road I work. Beyond this Judge Webster would like to see the enactment of a prison labor law, which would enable the convicts to be taken from the state prison and worked in camps In differ ent parts of the state for the con struction of public highways. , Were Oregon to be given this legal machinery by the legislature It Is the opinion of Judge Webster that within two years' time the good roads prb' two year' tlmj tie food roads prob. be ribbed with permanent highways passable a easily In winter as In sum mer, productive of vast growth and added prosperity on every hand. MORE POLICE TOMORROW. Care Will He Taken That I'stial Circus Followers Do Not Steal. Tomorrow Is cirrus day anil It Is only natural that the usual horde of hoboes, tramps and pickpockets will accompany the circus.

Is 1 1 ii her a Lot Men?

It Francis, got hold of some poisonous ' tablets yesterday evening, and It took heroio work to save him, says the North Powifer News. He and an older child were left at the house while the family picked their raspberries for market. The mother was called to the house to put Harry to bed, as he was asleep.
