nrnrlurr to the place he sells it.
In countries with good roads, farmers, seldom use the rail lines for dU- j
tances under 20 miles. They find that they can haul their heavily loaded j
wagons into market at a small cost and in a short time and that it entails a
smaller outlay than paying freight bills over the road. In this country, and
t.articularly in this county, a small load could hardly be hauled 20 miles in a
day sometimes it could not be hauled at all.- During the winter months
here the conditions of the roads are such that they are barely passable at all.
Certainly heavy loads cannot be carried over them.
" This is a tax on the people a tax greater than would be the annual cost
of any bond issue that were made to cover the construction expense. Bcouis
it comes in a way that the farmer does not feel it is no reason or argument
that the cost isn't just as exactly as any exhorbitant rate that the county or
state-could levy. It is a mud tax a tax on dirty, boggy roads. It is a
charee placed against the people for allowing such conditions to exist.
These conditions can be corrected if the people but awake to the import- -ance
of the good road and decide that the boggy, impassable road is be ban-;
ished forever from Clackamas county and that the improved highway ;s to
be substituted in its place. -

MAKING GG0D ROADS BY
BURNING UP POOR ONES
ROADS AS AN Progressive men everywhere have taken the stand
INVESTMENT that good roads are necessary to the proper development
of the rural districts upon which towns are built. The counties of the old
world have long ago recognized the fact that a good road is the highway to
profit. They have seen the muddy mule paths grow into paved boulevards
nver which the farmer could draw his product to market and could haul his
mods into the city at a cost so much less than the American farmer pays as
c-
to make a comparison rediculous.
F.vnprimre over there has taucht them many things. Though their dis
tances are, admitedly, less than ours, the same principle applies. If it costs
three and four times their charge to haul goods from the farm to the city mar
let snmethinfr is radically wrong with our system.
- There is little need for argument for good roads. Almost everybody
nowadays believes in a good road. Some, however, do not appreciate the in
vesment that agood road has for the community that it serves for few I
them have had the advantage of living on an up-to-date thoroughfare where
,u 'A tav ;s eliminated. Thev have not had the chance to see the good
mA in nnrmrinn and to study its wonderful effects upon the cutting of the
mcf nf rrnnsnnrtation.
' People appreciate the service that a railroad gives. They understand how
nt irPht is rut and transportation facilitated. They believe in the
construction .of railroad lines and few would in this day and age oppose th
,-nnfrrtinn of as many lines as could be induced to penetrate any given sec
tinri of the country. They see where transportation costs are cut by the two
T;nPC f connected steel and the ease with which their crops can reach mar
As a concrete example of this point, Molalla has for years been shut off
from the world outside. It has branched out into the country from its littl
olW lw tve lines running from Oregon City and other points.

WM, th- rnminr of the electric road, the people of Molalla have seen th
wonderful opportunities that are before them. . They have awakened to the
possibilities that the markets of the outside world has brought to them These
possibilities and opportunities have come with the coming of the railroad. 1 he
old pioneer days in Molalla are but a memory. The people of that city are
progressive, wide awake, resourceful and they know the meaning of those two
lines of steel rail. .
It means much to them and it will mean as much more as they take ad
vantage of the chances for growth and development that has come with the
road Molalla is now on the map. It is a railroad point. Its population
,..;il mmv rA the country around it will develope. All of this prosperity
has come through the construction of that road into a town that has for years
f from' communication with the markets outside of the valley.
' These facts are lust as true when applied to the construction of a hard
surfaced road. It means just as much to the people living along the road as
it does to the people of a community hitherto shut off from transportation

In our factories, experts are continually at work to devise some means to

We have extended this mania for speed to the employes ot these lactones.

USE BOOTH'S HYOMEI
Some people don't attach enough
importance to sunshine, but without it
life in this world would cease. The
same with courtesy.
"Courtesy Is sunshine. A sullen face
gets nothing but hate. The world is a
looking glass. If you smile at it it
smiles back. If you frown you will
see one.
"You are cheating your employer
when you are not courteous to his cus
tomers. Lend a willing hand to old la
dies with bundles and younger ones
with babies and try to make them feel
that they are not unwelcome.
O Solomon of the railroad world: -He
won't remain passenger traffic
manasrer long. inere are uiguc.
places waiting for the man who has
mastered so much of life's pnuosopny.
Note that he says, "Courtesy is sun
shine." That is neat rhetorical expres
sion of a great fact, isn't it?
No matter how hard you try to be
cheerful there are gloomy days. The
sun of life is obscured by the clouds
of doubt or distress,"and the world is
a dark, dismal place.
That's the time when courtesy rrorn
others counts. That's the time wnen
the soft spoken words turn away not
only wrath, but gloom and weariness.
It brings the ray of sunsnme mat
would otherwise be missing.
Courtesy is more.
It is the oil that smoothes the run-

i-n-pen man and" wife it is the little
thing that makes easy the bearing of
domestic troubles, great and small.
ThroHgh every casement In the house
of life there's a place for the sunshine
of courtesy to enter.
"A sullen face gets nothing but hate.
The world is a looking glass. If you
smile at it it smiles back."
No need to comment on that. Ev
ery one knows it; every one who has
reached adult age or has even ap
proaehed it has had that lesson taught
to him many times, not only by pre
sent, hut bv experience.
But how about "You are cheating
your employer when you are not cour
teous to bis customers i
nopnr to vou?
If you think your employer is en
titled to vour time alone you are mis-
tnirpn. He buys the best that Is In
von while vou are in his employ. And
courtesy toward his customers is part
of your best.
Courtesy pays in satisfaction and it
navs in money. Other things, such as
ability and patience and knowledge,
being equal, the courteous
win every time.
Blading a trail of good roads through
the south is not a figure of speech, but
an actuality, for many miles of good
roads are being made by setting fire to
poor ones, the result being what is
known as a baked clay road.
There are ho poorer roads in all the
United States than the "gumbo" roads
of the south, gumbo being the name
given a certain kind of mud or claj
that is particularly sticky, clings teua
ciously. seems to have no bottom ana
will. not support any weight. Gumbo
however, coutains a large percentage
of organic matter which will- burn
when dry. and as a result a road of
this material properly prepared and set
on fire emerges from the fiery ordeal
as li perfectly good road and one. more
over, thpt stays so for a considerable
period of time.
The process of converting a gumbo
fond into baked clay begins by plowing
up the roadway and making ditches on
the sides. Cordwood is laid in a son
of flooring across the furrows which
run crosswise of the road. Great lumps
of sticky gumbo are spread over this
floor, along with more wood loosely
strewn about. Then a second noor or
wood is laid and the whole covered
n-ith gumhp. tamped and rounded on.
Fire is now set to the road, and the
games rushing through the furrows,
wnich serve as flues, ignite the wood,
After the heat has driven the water
nut of the gumbo this, too. ignites, and
the actual cooking process is in run
swing.
It is more than merely drying out
the gumbo," says C. H. Claudy In Mo
tor. "It is a peculiarity oi mis uuuiuu
that nt low temperature it clinkers, and
thes. clinkers when broken up are
quit.? different from the original lumps
of frumbo. The clinker is not onij
fairly hard, but if properly burned
will nut make mud when mixed with
writer. In this is the triumph of the
burned clay road When the fire has
burned itself out the roadmaker has
not only a thorough mixture of dry
clay and wood ashes, but a good depth
of gumbo clinker, which he promptly
nroceeds to break into small pieces to
spread evenly and finally to roll and
compact into a real road.
To all intents and purposes the road
so nrade is a fine dry stretch of crum
bled brick. '

MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT.
Provision Should Bo Made to Keep
Roads In Repair.
Hod. Logan Waller Page, director of
the United States ofnee of public roaas,
belieres that there is nothing more im
port.lnt than maintaining roads after
thev are built Commenting on this
Dhtrse of road work, he said recently
Too much stress cannot be laid on
thr. importance of maintenance in con
nection with the work of improving
the roads. The people in nearly an tne
states are filled with enthusiasm for
nmd improvement and are spending
enormous sums of money in the con
etructiou of superb roads, and yet al
most without exception they are mak
ins little provision to care for the roads
dfter they are built. This is true not
only in the various counties, but under
manv of our state highway depart
ments.
To maintain the -roads in good con
dition vear after year requires a con
RlnVmbl annual outlay, but this out-
lnv is inUuitelv less than the loss which
must fall upon the people eventually if
thpv allow their roads to go to utter
ruin. The thing for all advocates of
good roads to do is to urge continuous
systematic maintenance and the setting
aside every year of an amount per
mile estimated by the engineer in
charge to be sufficient for the proper
mairtenance of the road a course
which, must make for economy and effi
ciency.
