MUD HOLES IN GOOD ROADS.
FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1905.
A NOTABLE CELEBRATION.
Credit belongs to the Oregon City
Fire Department for having this
year provided for Oregon City one
of the most notable Independence
Day celebrations and Firemen's
Tournament that was ever held in
the state. Three days of genuine
eport were provided and people flock
ed to the City from every section
and participated in the enjoyment
of the entertainment. The general
and sub-coinnnttees discharged their
respective duties with a thorough
ness and enthusiasm that contributed
to making a most successful cele
bration. Oregon City may well feel
'proud of its tire department.

SENATOR MITCHELL CON
VICTED.
. United States Senator J. II.
Mitchell was this week found guilty
by a jury in the United States court
at Portland of having accepted mon
ey for services performed as a Unit
ed States Senator. The jury took
7 1-2 hours for deliberation and in
reporting a verdict recommended
the defendant to the leniency of
the court.
The trial was one of the most not
able ever held in the United States
and considering that in similar trials
in which the prosecution failed al
though armed with stronger proof,
the verdict of guilty was not gener
erallv expected. Senator Thurston
and Judge Bennett, counsel for Sen
ator Mitchell, will immediately move
for a new trial, preparatory to ap
pealing the case to tlie Circuit Court
of Apjieals and finally the Supreme
Court of the Lnitod States. While
he stands convicted, it is not believ
ed tliat Senator Mitchell is the graft
er in the sense that many of the
men are who have boon charged with
the big frauds of the country. Sen
ator Mitchell not only has been but
is now a jMKir man. However, the
verdict of the jury will be accepted
as the final determination of the
matter.

TOO MiCU POLITICS.
There is taking place locally a
long-winded controversy regarding
the gambling situation in Clackamas
county. Thus far it is all talk. 0 am
bling continues and the oral argu
ment Mween the city and county
officials as to whom is rvsjxmsible
for the situation, still gives the news
reporters something to write about.
Each municipality has within it
self the right and privilege to regu
In the making of good roails in
this country there is always a new
mud-hole m the wav. Wherefore
the work moves but slowly, cnifwy
is steady progress toward the desir
ed results, but Uie most earnest and
active figures in the movement can
but admit that, considering the
amount of euergy and brains put
into the wwk in a decade, results
are not what they should be. Bad
luck, which is apparently sometimes
sent to test the mettle of men and
measures, has waited upon the good
roads advocates, and when this ol)
vious fact is considered, the degree
of success attained by them in many
state is evidence of an indomitable
resolution and an unfaltering faith
in the final triumph of public intelli
gence. It would seem, at times, as
if the hard roads people work the
hardest to get out of one mud-hole
as possible, how far it tnay le to the
as possible, haw far it may bo to the
next one. ineir cunosuv, ami uu-
tirinn energy in satisfying it, has
shown that the holes are never far
apart.
The ancient and universal prop
dice in the rural districts against
the cost of such undertakings has of
late years shown some signs of abat
mg. The farmer has had to be
shown that this cost would returrn
to him in increased value of lands
and better opportunities for gettin
his product to market at a saving of
time, wmcn, witn tno iarmer as um
evervbodv else, is money. He had
studied the problem closely, and had
reached the point of admitting that
it had two sides, before the inagura-
tion and rapid extension of rum
mail delivery cave the good road ad
vocates another argument w ith which
to have at him. The extension o
electric lines into farm sections has
also contributed something to make
him more open to conviction. Bu
that he is not yet convinced that good
roads will be worth what thev cos
him, the recent tour of a good road
committee of the Illinois legislature
through several of the finest agri
cultural counties of that state, where
the people are as prosiKrous and in
tolligent as can be found anywhere,
is proof. The objection was no long
er as to the disparity between cost
and return, but as it was voiced in
several meetings, it lies now against
"dudes on rublxr tires."
There is the new mud-hole in the
good road. It is the crazy automo
bilist who is turning back the hands
on the clock and stopping the whirls
of progress. The farmer is getting
ready to consider the advisability of
taxing himself for pun of wealth,
but not for loss of life and limb.
And it cannot le denied that, on
many good stretches of road in this
country, built at the expense of the
road lines, unlets, indeed, like the
railroads they are willing to incor
porate, themselves and put up their
own money for their own roadways.
