Frfiii'h llaa Turned the IIimt Line, Helrd Minlili r Rlrer CroHinlr and U Ri Iiik JIaIIy Reinforced. The qurailon of the advisability of conntruciing a roa.1 leadiiiK from the Bootkern portion of the city up on the blufTliark of Caneinah, la again com tiiandiiiK pul'llc attention. In order that the public may know noine of the pro and con of the road, we herewith apnd Interview! with aeveral buaineai mm of tills city, and Invite further brief comment on th a auhjnrt: til AH LIC AI.BBIOIIT. ''I think the road good thing for the city enerally. It will oien up a eection of the country that will trade in Oreuon City ioNtead of golnn elaewhere. The more good roaili we have in all direction of the town, the better for us all. The road li a very direct line in the renter of the county and will be well traveled and popular. It In not an expensive toad. There la now f 2,000 ready to construct the road as hooo at we can Ket the counly IntereHted. There is (1,000 from the city and $1000 from private subscrip tion, and about (1,500 more would com plete the road to the top of the bilL" A. I. PRESSES. "I formerly believed in the value of the road, but after an examination of the situation, I am satisfied that it will not add any value to the property at the south end of Main street, for the reason that most ot the farmers already drive to that end of town to put up their horses. I aro convinced that it will not depend upon the road that conies into Main street as to where people will trade, but upon the merchant who offers the Inducements for trading specially with him. I think the road will cost too much for the city and the county to build at ibis time, and I believe that the policy of both the ciiy and the county should be, to luild first one good road leading Into the country from the city that can be used at any time of Ihe year. After we have solved the problem of how to build one good road thst will stand the Iraflic, then it will be time enouuh to discuss the advisability of construe ting another road leading from another part of the ciiy in the same general di rection. QKO. LAZkXL. "Don't know about the cost of it, but if it can be built for 13,000 we ought to have it, as it is a practical scheme. It is not a selfiHh mutive tht prompts me, because it will open up the entire south ern portion ol the county. It will evade high grades that we cannot otherwise overcome. I heartily endorse it. I am now unloaning potatoes hauled Irom Canemah, and every trip I make each way it li loss of one hour's drive to come by way of Mt. Pleasant road. My neighbors are for it and will help pay for it." GEO. C. BROWNKI.U "My objections to this road are these: First I question the authority of the county court to use money belonging to the county road fund to construct a road which has iU begioning inside the limits of Oregon City. Second I doubt with the preseut financial condition ot the farmers ot this county and the tax payers generally as to the expediency of spending the amount of money that will he required to construct this road at this time. The largest outlay, as I ain in formed, would be inside the limits of Oregon City. The cost it ia stated by those who know, would lange from ten to twenty-eight thousand dollars to con struct this road, I am convinced that the people generally living in the country pieciucts, who have to travel over pretty bad roads to get their produce to maiket, would seriously object to having their tax money, at the present time when they need roads so much in the country, diverted to the building and construc tion ot a rood which really does not benefit the eeneral public and which at this .time will strike all conservative Deoule as being impracticable. I en dorse quite fully the general ideas in relation to road building as expressed by Mr. Harvey E. UrosB. Take the road money and build one good thorough fare through the county; next year Uke the money and build another, and in (our or five years we would have good roads through the general and central points of the county. I am opposed to the policy of taking a few hundred dol lars and scattering it on this piece of road and that piece of road when in the end you have practically nothing to show for the expenditure of the people s money. When times are better and the burdens of tha people have become easier to carry, then perhaps it might be well to construct this road, but certainly not at this time. What should always be the moving power behind the ex penditure of the people's money is to have it expendud where it will giye the most benefit to the people themselves." OKO. A. IIAKPINU. "In justice to the property owners of this end of the city, who have borne the great bulk of the expense of improving Main street, if the city council can see its way clear to open up a road at the southern end of the city, it ought to be done in order to make another inlet and outlet to the city. We now have but one, and the proposed road would be a great convenience to farmers in the southern portion of the county. I do not think it will be too expensive for the benefits that the whole city would de rive from it. C, 0. Ill'NTLEY. "My opinion is it is not at all feasible. We have no surplus road fund. The work on other streets that are a neces city will absorb all the money we will be able to raise for road purposes this year." K. O. CAlflEI.D. "I am always decidedly in layor of good roads in any direction, and think that efforts with that end in view by our citizens will accomplish more for Oregon City than any thing else that can be done. Tnis particular piece of road leading from Main street at Third, to the top of the high bluff back of Canemah, 1 have al ways considered an impracticable under taking, costing the city and county an immense sum of money without any benefit to the city at large commensur ate with the outlay. We need an out let from the south end of the city and the present council should take measures as soon as possible to repeal the act ot the last council In giving away to a private individual the only road we have leading from that end of town, for a railroad, practically condemning it as a county road. The action was taken by the last council in a hurry and.I do not believe that it expresses the sentiment of the people of Oregon City, or that it was legal." I. E. CHAJIXAN. "Most everyone knows how I feel about roads in general, particularly the road in the south end of Oregon City. All roads built in the south end of the county wilt bring trade and commerce to Oregon City, and it Is a well known fact that about 5.00 has been expended in the north part of this county to $1 00 in the south part on roads. Now why not all pull touei her. laying politics and selfish motives aside, and build this pro posed road from Third street in Oregon City to Law ton hill, connecting with the New Era road on a 6 per cent grade which is only 1 per cent greater than the grade of the suspension bridge. This would be a great convenience for everybody, living in the south end of the county, as it would be a saving ot at least two hours time on the road, which means money to most everybody and I know that the people of New Era, Mar qtiam, Macksburg, Needy, Aurora, Can by and Barlow (eel isolated from Oregon City. This road would stimu late the business and commercial in terest of the entire county, it would pay for itself iu 5 years in increased taxable property, and while the land is practi cally unuoccupied, I consider that one of the best reasons to go ahead with the project, as it will save expensive litiga rion. My motto is, "give us good roads with easy grades." General Roberts, with the bulk of the British army operating against the Boers, has succeeded in entering the Free State and has made the first step in his ad vance toward Bloemfontein. General French has turned the Boer line, and with some 20,000 men, has seised a croesing of the Modder river, to the east of Jacobsdal, thus placing himself be tween Cronje's army and the capital of the Orange Free State. Reinforcements are being hurried up to him. The main Boer array in that section . has not yet been encountered, but a great battle is imminent. As shown by the dispatches of Lord Roberts to the war office, the forward movement began Monday, when Colonel Hannnay set out with a brigade of mounted infantry from Ramah, on the Riet, eight miles from Jacobsdal, the Boer supply base. Monday General French, with the i av airy division, seized the crossing of hfl Riet river at Dekil's drift, south of Ja cobsdal, and 13 miles east of Money Nest kloof. He skirmished with the BoerB and cleared the way for 20,000 in fantry, who followed across. Tuesday, with his three cavalry bri gades and the horse artillery, General French rode to the Modder river, a dis tance of 25 miles, and took three fords with high ground beyond the river, and five Boer camps, He had a few casual ties in brushes with the Boer horse.
