, .1 GENERAL ROAD MASTER.
Uiratilla uouiily court lms appointed ono iroiioral road
umster instead of forty district supervisors, yi.d it is a
very fojiunon-H(;i)K jnnvo. Tlio ad ion was taken on n
que& fd' the good roads association.
The plan Las been tried and found to work sueress
i'ulJv in the cast.
There seems to be no subject on which tl ert is more
general ignorance in Oregon than on road building. Kvery
district supervisor has a method all his own, au.l the result
is that there are few good roads or roads cuMSlrudcd on
the rigid, methods in the state.
In Jackson comity the favorite method of building
roads consists of dumping stone, and gravel in a narrow
pile in the center of the highway, thus rendering it impas
sable until necessity forces the leveling of the humps of
gravel by passing teanift. The horses and vehicles of those
using the roads hammer them into some sort of shape in
a few months. - . .
A road was built near Central Point this autumn.
i ravel was hauled in wagon loads a mile, or more and
dumped in the center of the roadbed. No attempt was
made to make a smooth surface and the highway was prac
tically impassable for months. Now that the rain is mak
hur iIIipi hio-hwavs ininassahle, teams are forced to tug.
through the piles of sand and stones, probably three feet j
high, so narrow that teams cannot pass or t.u'.i our u mi
out danger of capsizing.
Last sun.iA.cr a road was built toward Sam's Valley.
Large Konea were laid in a layer on the ground. Then
dirt was thrown on top of them. Gravel was hauled a long
way and dumped. Water was h.iulei a mile or so in a
vas n and tuc surface wet. This road was left with a
suiuith ssrfaec, but the roadbed was so shall. w that the
surface had been cut to pieces inside of a moi th by tiuvei
and the road was worse than before a graded road y.
attempted.
A road expert in charge cf Jacksrn cciii.ty roads, s
ii.nf unifnnnitv and scientific construction would t ike f.
place of helter-skelter building, would be the best tkinp
that could happen. Jackson county spends ci-U-h mor.c
if it were, rigbtlv spent to soon have a good system ( f lugl
ways, but ten times the present expenditure under present
methods will not yield satisfactory results.
RErORT OF LUMBEP
OUTPUT IS MADE
The report of the lun.her output for
the year 1007 linn just been completed,
tint estimates for IflOS are just bring
received at (he office of the Oregon &
Washington Lumber Manufacturer's an
soeinlion. During that year Oregon
produced nearly $.S,O0o,0ii0 worlli. In
this state tlu-re were tOO mills in opor
lit ion. The unusual weather condition
in this state for t li t .v.t few days are
referred to in the report, and estimate
gfvon of tin1 effect I he toiow will have
vtt tlie output.
The report an furu.: lie. vest onlay
in in part a follows:
Statistical report on the cut of
anil general condition r.re coming in
lowly and indicate thu' very few mills
in Oregon are rutin in o-i account of
the unpnvcdotitcd we.it lier conditions,
tiiul understand from n lumberman just
returned from a trip lo the sound that
the same conditions prevail in Wash
ington. It is evident that en the b.-.sis that
the fir cut represents, on a oonserva
tivft basis, a weekly avirage output in
Oregon of 3(,oi)0,nn feel and in Wash
ington of ilO.OiUVmo fv. Such a com
plete shutdown for one week in both
Mates reduces the output ;o.i)0i),000
feet and will have a nifiteri.il effect on
the market.
The few mills operating are doing so
under pressure of demands of cargo
shipping requinnents to bo ready for
vessels due to arrive And at a tremend
nous disndrnntag.

the fact of this being a dry county and
the defense is based p.uiinlly upon the

SALEM BEER
SALEM is the most popular beer in Northern
California and Southern Oregon. It is acknowl
edged to be the equal of the very best eastern
product. All beers are good, but some beers are
liked better than others. The proof for this as
sertion lies in drinking Salem beer. If you wish
to be convinced, ask for Salem beer and 'drink it.
