Down at rortlsnd there Is a state
meeting In progress of the good roads
peoplo, and B ,,., important meet
ing list not been held In this state
since the constitution was adopted.
The Benefit of good roads to any com
munity Is apparent; they are the
strongest asset a county can have, yet
11 Is only of 1st years that much at
tention has been paid to highways.
The old system of keeping them In a
mere passable condition will no longor
suffice and the condition confronts
very city that roads leading to It must
be kept In repair, saya tha Baker City
Herald. . :
Building road In eastern Oregon Is
not such a difficult task, even though
there are mountains to climb. The
soil is of a nature that a little work
occasionally will keep a highway In
good repair. Of course, bridges are
needed In many places to replace the
old wooden culverts and new bridges
should be of Iron. It Is economy to
build a bridge that will last, and no
doubt the good roads convention will
make some valuable recommendations
along this line.
Eira Meeker, In his trip across the
continent, did a great deal of good In
calling attention to improvement of
the highways. Ills mission was to In
terest congress In making a national
road across the continent, but of
course he did not suueeed. He did,
however, draw a great deal of atten
tion and the fact that his mission was
made known In every city and hamlet
where he stopped, had a good effect.
Another thing that Is forcing the
good roads Issue Is the rural mall ser
vice. Every citizen wants his mall.
No mntter If he only receives a week
ly paper he wants the privilege of
having his mail delivered daily if he
should receive any, and he Is going to
have It. As people we are a sort of
self-uppoliited postofflce Inspector and
when anything goes wrong with our
mnll Information at once goes to Uncle
flam. And strange ns It may seem to
some all the kicks sent Into the de
partment by private citizens are not
thrown In a wnste bnsket, but they
ara carefully filed and In a reasonable
length of time an Inspecotr appears
to see what Is wrong. Thus It has
come to the point when If a road su
pervisor fulls to do his duty on a road
that is traveled by a rural route all
that la necessary Is to Inform the fed
eral government, who In turn takes It
up with tha local postmaster and the
county court. With these various
things working In Conjunction and
with tha Oregon good roads people In
convention, using their efforts to bring
about a better condition, the highways
of the state should soon have more
care.

between Pendleton and Weston, nnd
between Weston and Freewater with
an electiio line? Think what this
would mean to the property-values of
the county aside from the matchless
conveniences of such a line. Pendle

The voters of San Francisco at the

graft prosecution of Francis J. Heney

United States Senator La Follette is
to start a weekly newspaper. La Fol
lette's reputation Is such that he
should not have any trouble In secur
ing a reasonably fair circulation.
WHAT ELECTRICITY IKIES.
Wheat land that was worth but $$0
to $70, per acre between Freewater and
Walla Walla before tha electric line
aa completed, la now worth from
1110 to $500 per acr aa residence and
orchard tracta. Would not tha same
Increase In values com to tha laad
It la reported that there Is soon to
be a war In the house of the type
writer trust and standard machines
will soon be listed at $5. The price
of $100 has been maintained for many
years, and It Is to be hoped that the
report Is true.
Ptr Thomns Llpton believes that
everything comes to him who wsits
and perseveres., He wants another
opportunity to win that cup and If he
loses this time will undoubtedly want
to try It again next aeason. Tou can't
down a man like that. ' 1
Mr. Bryan has been honored more
than any other man within the dem
ocratic party. Three times has he
been chosen aa their atandard bearer
for president. He seems to enjoy It.
however, and as his taxable property
seems to Increase from year to year,
he docs not aeem to be making any
great personal sacrifice.

We know something was the matter
with tha campaign. David B. Hill of
New Tork haa not said a word yet.
Speak up. Brother Hill, and give the
hoys a chance to e'nter the campaign
with a little enthusiasm. If things
keep on this way presidential cam
paigns will caroe and go without at
tracting the ordinary attention that
circus receive upon making a tour.
Dr. Jamea Whltcomb, director of
the Oregon experiment station, warns
the farmers not to enter too enthusi
astically In planting the new Alaska
wheat, of which much la being print
ed at present. He is of the opinion
that It Is of little commercial value.
And for them to experiment with it
first before planting heavily
It means much to the state to note
the general Interest that Is belns:
taken in the interest of good roads.
In Portland this week over $00 prom
inent meiU of the state gathered to
discuss this very important problem
It means much whether a team can
haul to market 1500 pounds of pro
auce or whether It can haul S000
pounds. Ten tons used to be consid
ered a carload, but IS tons Is now the
minimum and 40 or 60 ton cars are
quite common.
