OREGON CITYyCOURIER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1905 FARMER IS LEFT ALONE Government Helps Others in Transportation. GRANGE REPORT ON ROADS Good Road Leagues Are Rec ommended and Convict Labor on Highways Is Favored. So important has become the ques tion of good roads to the general pub lic that the writer is pleasod to give to the readers of The Courier the re port of the '.'Oommitt.ee on Good Roads," aa found in the work of the Oregon State Grange recently held at Forest Grove. The ball is moving. Give it a kick. Whon euoh a mattor as good roads is taken up by a body of representative people there can be but one result. The State Grange, through, its subor dinate Granges, has had ample oppor tunity to study the subject of good roads and what the committee, reoom mends in its report has great weight and should be heeded by those in official life. Col. Stefelknecht, in a previous ar ticle, hit the nail on the head when he stated that the secret of good roads lies in prcper drainage. He is pleased to see that the Grange is of his opin ion. The report is clear and compre hensive. As Maple Lane has so many chuck holes, nrt one of which has been filled and are growing deeper and deeper, Ool. Stefelknecht hopes that whut the legislative committee says in regard to chuck'holos will be reart by every road supervisor iu Clackamas county. The report follows : the Worthy Master, and Members of Oregon State Grange : The subject of good roads is one of very great importance and we are pleased to note the fact that 'the im portance of this suhject is attracting the attention of thoughtful and pro gressive people throughout the coun try. Good-Road Leagues are being organ ized and publio meetings held for the purpose of arousiug publio interest in the good-road movement. Also to suggest ways and means by which these roads can be had. All our farm products have to be transported greater or less distances over the county roads, before reaching markets or shipping points. The av erage distance of this haul is esti mated at 13 miles. The estimated cost is 25 cents per ton pervmile. And for the same haul over a first class road the estimate is 8 cents per ton per mile. This gi es us some idea of the enormous loss to farmers by reason of bad roads, The National Board o' Trad) de clares that the country is poverty stricken in the midst of (its riches by reason of the condition of its roads. The cost'of constructing a first-class permanent road is estimated at about 13000 per mile.) It is evident from this estimate that a much larger sum must be 'had than is likely to be had under our present system of road mak ing before this work can be undertaken with hope of reasonable success. Your oommittee is of the opinion that the time has come when the gen eral and state governments should lend liberal aid to this great and much needed improvement. The government has contributed lib erally to all important ways of trans portation except the farmer's way. He is left to hew out his own highways the best he can. EPSSSS, Some of our states are employing their convict labor on the publio roads, and in a majority of cases it is re- nfD,1 Kq a. inniMH.

James, in loving remomberance of her son, Ira Seward, who departed this life October 12th, at the tender ago of 9 years, 8 months and 2-1 days. He was the oldest sou of Usuf B. and Lenora R. .Tames. Oh ! the home, so find and only, ror deatn nas visuuu uui uu uuv-o more, And borne to its heavenly mansions One we loved so dear. Oh 1 how we miss yon, Seward dear; Thy wl'o once made home so bright and light; Yet we know thy spirit is shining in a more bright and glorious home. No sorrowing thought can reach thee, No grief is thine toduy. God gives thee joy for mourning, He wipes thy tears away. Though sorrow and darkness enoom pass the tomb, The Savior has passed through its por tals before thee, And the lamp ot His love is the guide through the gloom, And the flower that was plucked in its bud Will bloom in the lighthouse above. On that bright celestial shore You have gone to meet your angei brother, Whom we bid farewell some twenty one months before. We loved you well, but God loves you heit. And has called you to rest, in his mansions above. Five lone weeks thy suffered, But now free from all pain, sorrow and fears. How well do we remember thy'words, "Yes, Papa, I'll be better to morrow." But alas! his beautiful soul into glory has gone. Beautiful life with its crown now won ; God giveth thee rest, Beautiful spirit free from all stain, Our's the heartache, the sorrow and pain. Thine is the glory and infinite gain. Thy slumber is sweet, We will not forget you, darling Seward, While the days and years roll by But when we are called to follow, We hope to meet in Paradise. Calm is they slumber as an infant's sleep, But thy shall wake no more to mourn and weep. There is perfect rest, secure and deep ; Only good night, beloved, not fare well, A littlj while, and then we will meet above. God knows the way and holds the key ; He guides us with unerring hand; Sometimes with tearless eye we'll see, Yet, there, up there, we'll under stand, Then, good night, good night.

"In conducting a large drug business we naturally meet a great many peo ple at this season ot the year who suffer from coughs, colds and bron chial troubles. As these troubles are easily con trolled if the right means is taken we want to say to the people of Oregon Oity that we guarantee our ood liver pil preparation, Vinol, will cure hnng- mg-on colds, stubborn coughs, bron chial and lung troubles, quicker than any preparation we have oversold, because it is the most perfect prepara tion of cod liver.oil ever compounded. It contains no oil or grease to clog the system and upset the stomach, yet it does contain everyone of the fifty odd medicinal elements actually taken from fresh cods' livers in a highly concentrated form, and is therefore the best cod liver oil preparation ob tainable. Vinol is not a patent medi cine; everything in it is named on the back of the bottle and you know what you are taking, so without reservation we indorse and guarantee Vinol to strengthen every organ in the body to do its work as nature intended to cure coughs, colds, bronchial troubles, increase the appetite, build up the run-down, tired and debilitated, and create strength and renewed vitality for the aged.
