horse, something scared the animal,
causing It to bolt and run with the
little fellow on Its back. Though no
one saw the accident the boy tella his
story himself. While running at
breakneck speed the horse collided
with a wire fence. Taking his rider
with him. he was Instantly thrown Into
the fence. The boy extricated himself
from the heap, badly torn and cut
about one leg. The horse was quite
seriously hurt. ' ,

OH ROAD
Judge Webster of Portland, who has
done more for the good road cause
than any other man In the state, is
enthusiastic In discussing the possibil
ities of the coming conference, and Its
results on the people of the state. 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

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.

When Frank Huber, the cowboy who

Child Swallows Morphine TabWs.
Harry, the 3-year-old .son of J. 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. She saw at once that some
thing was wrong, and found he had
gotten at some medicine and swallow
ed the tiny tablets given 'her lost fait
by Dr. Law for hypodcrmlo use t
