Tho intense Interest or tho entire
Northwest in ovldoncod by tho great
number of entries ulrondy mndo,
whllo tho national Intorcst U shown
by a boav) advance correspondence
from ovory part of tho Unltod States,
Iud It f.vor occur to you that such
gatherings uh these wero thu loudest
cries for tho good roads legislation,
and that thoso ovontu should bo an
Incentive to tho greatest activity on
the part of tho advocato of good
roads, When wo think, too, that
thoso aro but tho boginnlng cf what
thoy will bo in a few prlel yoars
It behooves us, then, to make pro
visions for tho future btloie wo
bocomo snowed under with tho traf
fic of tho country,
Right In line with this thought and
sentiment, Hon. Wilbur 1C. Newell,
president of Oregon State Board of
Horticulture, mid equally well known
In Washington, has, at tho roquest
of tho Oregon Development league,
condensed his Idoas on good roads
Into 100 words, and they toll the sto
ry far bolter than could we. Ho
says:
Dad roads nullify advertising, re
pel Immigration, Increase cost of liv
ing, render the automobile useless,
and will deprive tho farmer of rural
free delivery.
"State aid and supervision of road
construction Is essential.
In equity because a public beno-
fit, state should pay 25 per cent of
the cost, county 60 por cent, and tho
adjacent property 25 per cent.
"For thoroughness trained engin
eer work.
For economy levy taxes and pay
as we go.or on short time certificate
plan.
'For education regular cot respond
ence courses in road bulldin? at Or
egon Agricultural college and Univer
sity of Oregon.
"Let u. build good roads rh urn-
am InalnA.I H Inlblnn . . t tm
mer Instead of talking about them
all winter."
Tho good roads conference will con
vene promptly at 8:30 a. m., Tues
day, August 11th, In the convention
hall of the Portland Commercial
club. Sixth floor. Another meeting
will be held at 2 o'clock, and per
haps an evening session. A feature
of the convention will be the at
tendance of many of the road super
visors and practical road officials.
Another enterprise which has jiist
been promoted in Portland and which
will bare a very beneficial effect

This last entorprlso moans much to

in tho development of Portland and
surrounding country.
Could Be Improved
Thoy have a strange way of ad
vertising for bids on municipal bonds
lu this Wostorn country. Taking tho
city dock bonds for Instance, tho ad
vertisement called for the aonoy "at
six per cont," and the ono offering
the largest premium provided tho
party was responsible soc.iri-d the
plum. In this caso the premium re
ceived reduces tho Interest to a llt
tlo moro than fivo per cent. In tho
East tho cull would read "not to ex
ceed six pr cent." This would put
It on a strictly per cent btls, and
tlm mnn av urtnltl 1m flAnirl In n
cU the B, of Bt Johng B tl)p rato
ut 3 H to 4 per cent. Wa bollovo
that If tho bonds nad been put on a
jjercentago basis tho mon'y could
have been secured at not ! exceed
four per cent.
