Miss Hums travels over many parts
of the county each day In a Ford.
A Loss To Oregon
The resignation of S. Benson from the state high
way commission is a distinct loss to Oregon. The dean
of the commission loved the work, and was able to take
the great amount of time necessary for the attention it
deserved. His interest in the improvement of the roads
of Oregon was backed by his money, and he spent many
thousands of dollars to put across road construction
where public funds were not available or were not suf
ficient. His vision was broad and he possessed that
creative foresight, coupled with firm convictions that
gave to Oregon a public servant of value.
Clackamas county will miss Mr. Benson. It was
he who insisted upon the completion of the Pacific High
way from Washington to California, ahead of second
ary roads. 'Die failure of his associates on the commis
sion to place this great trunk road in front of those of
lesser importance brought about the withdrawal of Mr.
Benson, who recognized the necessity of finishing a
road that is a link of the great Pacific Coast nation-to-nation
thoroughfare. He was friendly to this county,
not only because he wanted the Pacific Highway paved
from the Multnomah line to the Marion boundary but
he was willing to help with state funds for the construc
tion of costly bridges that are bound to bear through
traffic. While other members of the commission have
not agreed with him, he accepted the theory that no
county should be expected to finance the grading of a
state road and the building of its bridges, and he also
recognized the out-standing fact that Clackamas has
been liberal in the expenditure of its money, having the
highest general road tax in the state and on top of that -special
taxes in many districts.
Mr. Benson has had no axes to grind on the high
way commission, and he has set a sterling pace for his
successor.

secretat-y also disappeared. It was re

POSSIBILITIES OF
BERRY INDUSTRY
Five members of the Oreeon Cit
Commercial club will be appointed
io investigate the p-oposition of the
Phez Company, submitted to the
Hoard, of Governors by Pen Kuppea
bender at a special meeting Monday
night. The indorsememnt of the club
is tx-ing sought for a plan to encoim
age the planting of Clackamas county
acreage to loganberries and strawberries.
The Commercial club proposes to
nave its committee, after making a
thorough Investigation, report liack
to the Clackamas County Develop
ment League, and ask that oreaniz-
ation to take over whatever details
are recommended. The Phez Com
pany wants at last 500 acres planted
to oerrtes in this county, and will
contract for five years at four cents
a pound for loganberries, less one
third of the cost of nickine. which
ought to net the grower around three
cents, or a minimum, with carefm
sno intensive cultivation of about
$350 an acre, but the conrnanv d-
slres each grower to subscribe for
preferred 7 per cent stock, at the rate
of $30 for each acre planted. The com
pany la also asking the business men
of Oregon City to take $25,000 worth
of preferred stock. Dr. L. A. Morris.
president of the Commercial club
has taken the personnel of committee
under advisement.
The president, secretary and chair
man of the house committee were
given authority to employ a successor
to Arne G. Rae, collector and stew
ard of the -club, as he leaves about
January 1 for Eugene to enter the
University of Oregon. Mr. Rae wi'l

COUNTY COURT
TO LET C0IPT0N
GO DECEMBER 1
H. C. Compton, acting road master
of Clackamas county, will be relieved
from duty December 1, the county
court taking the position that his
salary of $200 a month can be saved
during the winter months when there
is comparatively little road work be
ing done. Mr Compton was appoint
ed road master following the resigr-
nation of Thomas A. Roots, and was
given the subordinate position of dis
trict engineer after the passage ot
the $1,700,000 road bond measure a
year ago, when Harold A. Rands was
named to head the road organization.
Mr. Rands, however, could not re
concile his operations with the coun
ty court and he resigned, and since
then the court has not filled the
place, though Compton has perform
ed the duties. Active direction of the
road work will be performed by the
members of the county court, through
the several deputies scattered in
every section of the county. Comp
ton was the last link In the organiz
ation that was formed to handle the
engineering incident to th expendi
ture of the money to be derived from
the sale of the road bonds, which
were invalidated by the supreme
court.
