GOOD ROADS
FOR OREGON
State Convention to Im
prove Highways Called
for Portlond August 13
1'ORTLAND, Or., July 13. "Iioo4
roails" seems to havo become iu re
cent months the uultjet't of nlmoHt every
conservation when a group of citizens
get together. Duriug the lust two
weeka there ha leeu mora dinem-sion
of good romla among iDemherH of the
Portland ('oiuuierciul flub thmi theru
ban about the great political campaign
that. t!i before mh. When duiryiueit get
together they disc una good roads; it is
tbe same with fruitgrowers, while au
tomobile owners have become veritable
cranks on the subject.
Au insistent demand, coming from
every section of the state, has bei'ii
made upon tho Portland Commercial
club to call some character of represen
tative meeting to discuss a practical
plan whereby all Oregon may have
better highways. President W. K. New
ell of I lie slate board of horticulture
has written to the club asking that
action be takeu without delay. A sim
ilar request also comes from Hon. .1. W.
Bailey, state dairy and food commis
sioner, on behalf of the dairy inter
eats, aud the bankers of Portland and
other cities nud towns of the state are
of one mind mi the subject. Many of
the cities .throughout Oregou ure build
ing high class hard surface pavements
and everywhere you gu you find men
talking "good roads."
To Hold Conference.
As a result of all this it has been de
tormiued to hold an "Oregon good
roads conference" iu the convention
hall, Hixth floor, of the Portland Coin
mercial club, Tuesday, August 11, with
morning, afternoon uud evening ses
sions. Xo interest in the state seems
t be more anxious to have a part in
developing the good roads sentiment
into a realization -than the railroads,
and as a result a rate of a fare aud a
third has been made for this meeting.
Tickets will bo good the day before
utfd the day after the meeting, so that
it may be extended over the second
day if necessary.
An interesting program will be pre
pared, hut there will be no lonk-winded
theoretical speeches. Practical men will
be secured and practical questions dis
ciiBsed. Tho flood Roads associations
of Oregon and Washington will be
asked to co operate in making the meet
ing a success. The basis of representa
tion will be nil nou need within a few
days, but all commercial nad industrial
bodies, county judges, county commis
sioners, editors and mayors will be au
thorized to appoint delegates and urged
to have a good representation present.
Colonist Rates Again.
Oiegon communities as represented
through their commercial bodies aud
other agencies for advertising should
commence at once to take advantage of
the one way colonist rates, which will
be in eft'ect from September 1 to Oc
tober SI. No state in tho Pnioii has
received greater benefit through these
colonist rates than Oregon and at iw
time in the history of the state were
more people expressing a determination
to eome here to make their permanent
home.
