We had rather taken the stand that the re-paving of i this road was useless and that the paving to be used there could , Letter be used in stretching out the paved urea in the county. But Judge Duby has been studying the problem. He stales, and wo don't dare contradict him, that when one of these little two-inch veneer paving tops begins to break into pieces ill is worse than a dried out Tillamook cheese. Soon it crumbles and the only way to get traffic by at all is to rip up the whole thing and go br.ck to macadam. The Judge says that is what is coming to the Island City road unless a re-coating is put on it about three inches of black top will do the work. This can be done while the Warrens have their plant located for city work and thu.N save tho cost of setting up a plant. When completed it will insure the Island City road for years to come, according to the engineer's office, and we believe that road experience is such that the engineer has a perfect right to make this statement. With this explanation which is convincing the Observer says, ; "All right, judge, start them to work and let's save to Union county the little strips of paving which we secured in the orig inal shake-up." The mistake that was made, but it was made in many of the; states as well as here, was to ever lay a pavement as thin as two inches and expect it to hold up under the heavy traffic. Things At Home It is not what we have but what we think of what we have thai; really counts. This oldtime but trite and truthful saying comes up occasion ally to wain us in our pride. ,, ' Itccently City Commissioner Villianis was making an automo bile trip find away out in the interior he ran across some congenial people who headed the opposite direction. The conversation of the road followed and among other things the strangers mentioned was the splendid auto camp they had found at La Grande, Oregon, und the fine treatment they had received while camped there. 1 4 They did not know where Jlr. Williams was fiom. He sat ftr 'n while, listened to the nice things said about his town and then he dwelled up lo a point where he had to proudly admit he was resident of La Crande and incidentally slate that he was a mem ber of the city commission which had charge of and shaped the destinies of the tourist camp in La .Grande. The things at home are pretty good after all. Why seek IV greener pasture far away when as a matter of fact it is not greener when you compare it with what you have at home. The Waste Basket Our civilizatioii is to bo judged just as much by our waste baskets as by our sky-scrapers. Indeed the musings of the great philosophers will be given over to this wide-mouthed receptacle of tagends just as much as to the more substantial and spectacular inventions and creations of man! it will inspire reflections not to be drawn from pyramids anil subway tunnels and steam engine.;. Tlie waste-b:isket is an institution universal and permanent. Thrones and alteis may crumble, but all the frills and I'inei ie.i of these vanishing woiks of man find their resting-place hi the waste-basket. Kmpircs flourish, and in the end come lo nothing in the wa.-.te-bnskct of lime. The waste-basket litis outlived tho .inexorable laws oT the Modes ami Persians il will remain at last to receive all the discarded hopes and strivings of mankind. Human progiess is to bo understood onlv in the liuht of what. is tossed lluiughtlcssly or dropped xwth a sigh into the waste- felX laVm "lt liaskt'ts ot tlie WOll.l. ihoir coltloilts yest. rtlay, lotlay, and for h.-.td expense f .ul steadily dec.eas all time lo come, are the true imlov of hum- ....-.. n i...'"K I'fw-" (or tiieir products.
