'GOOD ROADS WEEK' NAMED BY WEST
(Continued from page one.)
come within our borders but much of
this good has been nullified by some
of the things we have failed to do
and chief among these is our neglect
in the matter of the construction of
good roads.
Without good roads there can be no
great development and no great pro
gress. What we need most is more
people more people in the rural dis
tricts. And in order to attract peo
ple to the rural district we must make,
rural life pleasant and attractive. You
, cannot maroon a new settler and his
family on a farm in an ocean of mud,
no matter how beautiful the spot, and
expect to find him happy and content.
He demands good roads leading to
the church and the schools and good
roads leading to the markets and he
is going to locate in that section where
these advantages are to be found.
It is not only our duty but it is in
keeping with good business to build
good roads. Money spent for good
roads is money well spent. When we
speak of spending several millions of
dollars during the next few years in
road construction many are stagger
ed by the proposal and the figures.
They apparently are not aware that
the several counties in this state
spent over ten million of dollars dur
ing the past six years for road work,
much of which was lost through lack
of system and knowledge as to scien
tific road building. '
The question of good roads has been
fairly well discussed of late and we
have learned more about road build
ing during the past few years than
we ever knew before, but we still
have much to learn and still have
much to do before we undertake on
a large scale the construction of a
system of highways in this State.
We need fiirst: the passage of
model good road laws. Second: a
competent man at the head of the
highway department. Third; funds
sufficient to carry on the work.
These things will come only through
united effort and united effort will
come only through a clear under
standing of the whole question by the
whole people of this state. This un
derstanding will come only through
the study by, and education of, the
whole people.
Numerous bills are about to be in
itiated or presented to , the legisla
ture by the friends of good roads In
different parts of the state; and,
Whereas, It is most important that
the people of Oregon should give deep
and thoughtful attention to the con
sideration, study and discussion of
these measures. . ,. . ,
Now therefore, I, Oswald West, Gov
ernor of the State of Oregon, by vir
tue of the power and authority in me
vested, do hereby proclaim the week
beginning the fourth day of February,
and ending the tenth day of Febru
ary, as "Good Roads Week," and I do
hereby earnestly recommend to be
people of this, state that during this
period the question of good roads leg
islation be given careful thought and
study through public and private dis
cussion and through the columns of
the press, in order that knowledge per
taining thereto may be increased, pub
lic sentiment crystalized and effective
legislation secured.
In Testimony Hereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State to be affixed,
on this the twenty-sixth day of Jan
uary, 1912.
, OSWALD WEST,
Governor.
By the Governor:
BEN W. OLCOTT,
Secretary of State.
MISS VEDA WILLIAMS
TO BE BRIDE
The engagement of Mi3s Veda Wil
liams, of this city, to Herbert A. Berk
man, of McMinnville, was announced
Saturday night, when Mrs. J. M. Law
rence, of Portland, and Mrs. C. G. Mill
er, of Oregon City, entertained at the
home of the latter in honor of the
bride-elect. Miss Williams' marriage
to Mr. Berkman will take place prob
ably during the latter part of Febru
ary, and McMinnville will be their
home.
The decorations of the Miller home.
on Seventh street, were beautifully
arranged and were in keeping with
the spirit of the affair. The living
room was ornamented with cycla
mens and evergreen, and the dining
room was a charming spectacle, with
red hearts festooned from the elec
troliers to the corners of the room,
and in the center Dan Cupid, with his
ever-ready dart, was suspended. The
center-piece was formed with red car
nations and asparagus ferns in brass
bowl, and hand-painted place cards
were decorated with pictures of Cupid
with miniature bags of rice. ' The
names of Miss Williams and Mr. Berk-
man were inscribed on red hearts at
tached with red ribbons to the cards.
Supper was served in courses, the
hostess being assisted by Miss Marian
Pickens and Mias Marian Lawrence,
and guessing contests and other
games followed the prizes going to
Miss Marjorie Caufleld, Miss Edna
Caufield and Mi3S Nan Cochran.
The affair was an unusually enjoya
ble one and the bride-elect was show
ered with the congratulations of her
friends. Those present were Miss
Helen Daulton, Miss Cis Barclay
Pratt, Miss Marjorie Caufield, Miss
Aimie Bollack, Miss Juliet Cross, Miss
Edna Caufield, Miss Bess Daulton,
Miss Tlizabeth Roos, Miss Zida Gold
smith, Miss Emily O'Malley, Miss
Veda Williams, Miss Marian Law
rence, Miss- Nan Cochran, Miss Mar
ian Plckena, Mrs. M. D. Latourette,
Mrs. J. M. Lawrence, Mrs. L. A. Mor
ris, Mrs. C. O. T. Williams, Mrs. C. G.
Miller, and Mrs. Fred Smith, of Bend.
at outside points, some shippers who
are very anxious to do business, have
practically cut their profits in an ef
fort to secure supplier This has only
aggrevated the situation, for with the
market seemingly higher, growers are
in less mood to sell than ever before.
As high as $1.10 is being offered
and paid for ordinary ' shipping stock
f. o. b. country points, although the
general market is not above $1.05.
There was a report of one lot being
sold at $1.15, but this was strictly a
fight between dealers and the grow
er received the benefit.
More carloads of potatoes are this
season being shipped to Arizona and
Texas by Willamette Valley persons
than during any other two years. The
demand is growing, but is unsupplied,
owing to the lack of heavy selling by
growers.
