ADAMS IS TAKEN TO TASK
ON ROAD POLICY
Acme Resident Bays Highway Boosters
Have Wrong Dope on Divi
sion Point.
Acme, Ore., Feb. 10.— (To the Ed
itor.)— In the issue of the Eugene
Guard of December 9, E. J. Adams, in
laying a road bon«i proposition before
the people of the county says to his
self appointed committee, “ I have se
lected you • • • may I ask you to lay
aside every preconceived opinion and
all jM-tty jealousy." He then lays out
his road program in which he termi
nate* the pru]Mised Willnmette-Coast
road at Florence, with that place the
division point for roads north and
south. This program necessitates the
construction of an expensive draw
bridge to connect Olenadu with "this
road and the expense of upkeep on
this bridge would e«|Ual the interest on
a half million dollars.
I f Mr. Adams and his gang could
lay aside their interests they would
recognize that tne division point on
this road should be at a point east of
Mupleton, near what is called Indian
creek. At this point a connection
would be made with the Five Rivers
road north to the coaat or to naviga
tion, while to the south the Siuslaw
river can be crossed to the south bank
by a eheap bridge and this bank fol
lowed westward to the county line,
thereby connecting up all those thickly
settled valleys which are now unable
to reach the county seat by road.
Mr. Adams ami his gang cannot do
patriotic w«-rk that demands the leav
ing out of their self interest. I can
not forget their work during the war
when they proposed to the govern
ment the building of a railway exten
sion to Florence under the pretense of
helping win the war. Being then in
touch with the government I was able
to frustrate their schemes.
A few years ago the county road on
the north bank was taken or stolen
from the people and given to the
Southern Pacific under the pretense
that a new road would be built, while
any crazy cat knows that the hills at
the point where the road was taken
are so perpendicular that there is
barely room for the railroad tracks
and the building of a road at this
point is impossible without taking up
the railway. The Southern Pacific now
has n lawsuit on its hands while the
people have no rood.
I protested
against these unlawful acts at that
time to no purpose and I suppose the
courts will now let the railroad keep
what has been stolen and tell them to
pay for the stolen goods, but where
will we get a place to put our road.
It is therefore ’sometimes necessary
to use your 'own opinions that yoii
»hull not lose your head after having
donated your wits to a road and beach
lot booster for occupants and manu
facturers of tin lizzies.
\\ hy not elect E. J. Adams as one of
our representatives to an already more
or less jammed legislature. Economy-

There was an old geezer who had a
lot of sense; he started up in bus
iness on one bone and «-ighty cents.
The dollar spent for stock and the
eighty for an ad., brought him in
thr«*e lovely dollars in a day, by
dad! Well, he bought more goods
and a little more space, and he
played that syitem with a smile on
his face. The customers flocked to
his two-by-four, and soon he had to
hustle for a regular store. Up on
the »«pinre, where the p*-ople pass,
he gobbled up a corner that was all
plat© glass. He fitted up the win
dows with the best that he had,
and told them all about it in a half
page ad. He soon had ’em coming,
and he ne\*er, never quit, nnd he
woubin’t rut down ou his ads. one
jit. And he’s kept things humming
in the town ever since, and every
body calls him the Merchant Prince.
Some say i t ’s luck, but that’s all
bunk— why, he was doing business
when the times were punkl People
had to purchase, and the geezer
was wise— for he knew the way to
get ’em was to advertise.
