Although not absolute the school district census in the various communities of Oregon is indicative of population to a large extent The figures published recently in the Ore ' gon Voter give Baker 2600 children of school age, Pendleton 1825, La Grande 2833, Bend 2859, The Dalles 1907,' Klamath Falls 3397, Union 508, Elgin 249, North Powder 211. With the exception of Klamath Falls, La Gra.vle has the largest school Enrollment of any city east of the Cascades. ' THE OREGON TRAIL NEEDS MONEY The road over the Blue mountains between La Grande and I'endJeton is in the worst condition t has ever been since construction, considering that no r i i colar stretch has gone out I(t is simply worn down under heavy traffic until small holes have appeared in the old oiled burfuce, making driving anything but a pleasure. We:refer particularly to those portions of the road not now under repair though badly needing it From Kamela to the top of Cabbage hill the highway is leing resurfaced, with nroch of it entirely rebuilt last year following the spring breakup, .isjjction, when completed, this ?eason,will pro vide an excellent road, but will serve to emphasize the press ing need for rebuilding the remainder, especially from Ka niela this way. In'addition to being rough, and full of holea uia. cannot De patched efectively, it needs to' be widened and straightened. - : No one realizes this better than the highway engineers, ana me members or the highway commission have had this stretch of the Old Oregon Trail very much in mind for manv months. But little lias been done so far to start correcting it. ine next to the most important highway in the entire state and carrying a traffic load that should make it a pri mary consideration, me Iran needs money spent on it this year and needs it badlv. With extvUnit Rtnt l, greatest asset in attracting outsidt-is and with this road the most natural and direct route into Oregon from the east, lauure to improve it immediately will le damaging to the state as a whole as well as Eastern Oregon. . The whole trouble is money. So many projects are under way, so many mads need repair and maintenance, and so much interest and prinripai j required at this peak time of Ji ...... aeot payment that there Is little or nothing left to take care of this important cross-stale highway. The one way that money could be provided for this and other important proj ects is being evaded by the highway commission or has been thus far. It has the authority to issue additional bonds to carry the highway system over this period of three or your years when payments of present xnds and interest are at the highest point. A million dollars a year additional would take care of such needs as this Oregon Traii rebuilding and would hurry the completion of the entire system. But the highway commissioners haven't agreed on that program yet. They are either too fearful of the public re action to a few more bonds or are too little informed about the highway needs and we know the latter isn't true. In any event they arc apparently willing to get along on pres ent revenues for road workdecreased as they are by bond retirement and inti rwt demands -and give the slate bad or mediocre highways in some scctit-ns when good highways would pay for themselves. , Oregon cop!e are sold on good highways and are. in tho great majority, ix-ifeelly content and anxious that they I kept good so long as the license f.-vn and gas lax carry the burden. Additional bond-, lo the extent of a million a year at this crucial time would nut burden anyone a penny more than they now pay, would simply permit construction work now instead of four or five years fit i yw. We hope the highway commission will yet sec tin- i,moniy of such a policy. Road building and maintenance o.-u money but cer tainly Oregon has demonstrated to the world and to her own satisfaction that it is money well spoilt. TRY W. K. GILBERT CO.
