SMITH FACES MUSIC
IN JUSTICE COURT
JUSTICE BAMSON FINES HIM 123
FOR A88AULT ON O. W. P.
RY. CONDUCTOR.
Oarer Smith, who was one of tho
principal characters In trie fare Inci
dent on the O. W. P. Ity. Saturday
evening, and who dlaroftarded his rec
ognizance and did not show up when
hla ena waa called In Juatloe Sam-
aoVs court Monday, has returned for
trial. Aner thinking the matter over
flmlth decided to face the music. Jus
tice Samson this morning fined Smith
$25, the charge being assault. The
fine was paid and Smith given his
tlhartV.
The evidence In the caa was not so
black as at first reported. Smith did
not strike the conductor, bo witnesses
i.ntil Via had struck Younat. Then
Smith was so angered that he threw
discretion to the winds and knocked
the conductor from the car without re
gard to the consequences. 1 nose mcts
ur taken Into consideration by Jus
tice Bamaon In fixing the amount of
the fine.
Smith baa been In one or two little
troubles before thla but he says now
that he la not to be drawn Into any
more; that he Intends to do what Is
right to do from this on. In view of
that fact Justice Samson decided to
make the sentence light and to give
tha young man an opportunity to make
good. Smith Is an athlete, and has
great strength; this fact makes It a
groat temptation to us that strength
on ocoaalon aad he doea It often with
out weighing the consequences.

And Still There Aro Few Noatt Within
Clackama County That Aro
Worthy of tho
Nam. -
JThe following communication have
been received by the Enterprise In
favor , of a more systematic plan of
road building In Clackamas county. .
The articles are gladly given apace lni
our columns and the hope la expressed
that other tax payers and citizens of
the county may be inspired to send
In their views of this -rery Important
question. Let the agitation go on;
good will come out of it. . When It U
generally understood that a half mil
lion dollars have been expended In the
roads and bridges of this county dur
ing the last four year the tremendous -importance
of the question becomes at
once apparent. The question at once
becomes bigger than any man, and
all this talk about ita being a flgbt
between tho city and country will be
put aside and we must and will look
at It from a business and economical
standpoint. The articles follow:
Editor Enterpriser Under a compe
tent roadmaster it Is possible to sys
tematize the building; of roads, and
when the system Is Inaugurated and
In effect every suburban resident will
be benefitted. Every winter there are
numerous complaints of Inefficient
postal service as rendered by the rural
free delivery carriers, all on account
of lack of system In building trteds.
Good roads mean quicker service, bet
ter service, and In fact the canrlera
can cover more territory, thereby ex
tending the service to many who are
not receiving the accommodation they
should.
Better road;, larKer load; more
profits, larger pockets; Bborter miles,
broader smiles; all of which go to
make life longer and bapuier Wo
have tried the old style of making
roads for the past fifty year now
11 us try a system for five year and
note the difference.
T. P. RANDALL
Editor Enterprise: A few reasons
why road construction in Clackamas
county has not been a auccehs.
It hag been stated that from 33 to
50 per cent of all moneys spent upon
the county roads of Clackamas county
has been wasted, and the statement Is,
without doubt, true, for It proves It
self. One -has only to know the amount
of money-ao-apent and iho-cot- per
mile of macadam road, to at once real
ize the truth of the statement- .
The present so-called monev ryatem
was Inaugurated In ' this co'inty In
1892, and since that time the money
appropriated for, and spent upon the
roads In this county amount. to ap
proximately the enormous sum of two
million dollars; this at $10,0(V) per
mile, which is a liberal estimate, would
give 200 miles of first diss, scienti
fically built macadam trunk road,
whereas, the fact, Is, there Is not. one
continuous mile of such road In the
county.
At 12000; which amount should clear
and turnpike a mile of ordinary dirt
road, wo should have on thousand
miles of uch roads In the county.
We fall short of the realization of
either proposition; probably even the
60 per cent la too small.
Road building Is a science, which
has been jriadually bun' up and de
veloped through two thonsii.l years;
the lawa governing the science of road
building are laid down In numeroua
text books and can be studied and un- -derstood
by those bavin? thu time and
Inclination to learn.
It is only reasonable to stale that
one who has studied an I demonstrat
ed these laws for a number of years
is better qualified to build a road.
than one who has never read of, or
seen demonstrated the proved best
method of road construction.
The essentials of a good wagon rond
are:
1. Easy grades, i
2. Thorough drainage.
3. A hard and smooth surface.
These essentials cannot be secured
without an Instrument, or without a
man behind that Instrument. This
man should also be backed up by
enough money to make his serlces
worth while. ,
Last year there was spent on tho
public roads In this county, approxi
mately, $170,000; but this money was
so scattered that It was sadly Ineffect
ive; the same can be said of the $V
000.000 spent In the last eighteen years
In thla county. . ' '
The reasonable deduction Is that an
engineer, with the proper backing by
the County Court, would show a great
