The Good Roads Bills
The good roads measures now
up for action in the Oregon house
of representatives represent the
most important legislation that
will be asked for by the people
of the state during the present
session. For over two years
this movement has had the sup
lort of the progressive element
of the state, which now demands
of its lawmakers intelligent leg
islation. It will be, borne in
mind that the Good Pwoads Asso
ciation and its friends have la
bored unceasingly to keep this
most important matter upper
most in the minds of the people
of Oregon, and that the funds to
do it have been voluntarily sub
scribed by a few public-spirited
men whom it must be admitted
could have had nothing but the
welfare of the public at heart.
It must also be admitted that the
bills presented to the legislature
were accepted by a convention
of delegates representing all sec
tions of the state and that the
men who drew them were emi
nently fitted for the purpose. It
is also a fact that if the meas
ures are passed, and do not meet
with the approval of the taxpay
ers of any particular county,
they are not compelled to accept
them, and can continue to build
roads as they have been doing,
or not, as the case may be. Op
position, therefore, such as is re
ported from Salem, seems to be
uncalled for and can only be
looked upon as an effort to delay
and possibly defeat a great pub
lic need.
The benefits to be derived are
infinitely greater than the trivial
objections that have arisen, and
if the state lawmakers of the
lower house do their duty they
will see to it that the good roads
bills passed by the senate, or
others equally as good, are speed
ily approved.
The Oregonian
The fiftieth anniversary' of the
founding of the Oregonian. which
occurred on February 4th, is an
event of more than passing inter
est in the history of not only Or
egon, but the Northwest. The
Oregonian is and has been the
greatest factor in bringing this
great country in touch with the
outside world. It has done this
because its excellence as a news
paper, from all points of view,
has commanded the interest and
confidence of the world at large.
Admitted to be the foremost
newspaper of the Pacific coast,
and one of the best in the United
States, Oregon people should feel
an individual pride in its great
achievements of the past fifty
years.
NORTHWEST NOTES
Portland. Ore.. Feb. 7 (Special)
State developement will receive
a new impetus if House Bill No.
301, now before the Legislature,
passes. This measure will create
a statistical bureau and immi-j
gration agent and authentic sta
tistics presenting the opportun
ities of Oregon will then be
available for use by the various
commercial organizations that are
now without an official source for
reliable data. A state booklet,
furnishing facts about Oregon in
concise form, will be the basis of
extensive advertising.
Usual low-priced colonist rates)
to the Pacific Notthwest from !
the Fast will e in effect from
March 10 to April 10 and will no
doubt, rewult in inducing many
aettlers to come west. Rates
will be the game as last year, on
the hunii of $25 to the Coast
from Missouri River terminals.
Fare from other points is in pro
portion, for example, $33 from
Chicago: $32 from St. Louis; $50
from Ne York City: $49.75
from Washington, etc.
The double tracking or the O.
W. II. & N. line down the Col
umbia River fiom Echo to Port
land, as authorized this week by
the Harriman directors in New
York, will lie of great benefit to
the whole state. The improved
transportation facilities will be
provided, but perhaps best of all
is the confidence shown in the
Northwest by the great railway
system in authorizing this heavy
investment.
Pendleton is setting a good ex
ample of western enterprise by
starting early to put on a great
show at the time of its annual
" Round Up ". Provisions
are being made to build a race
track and grand stands that will
be ample for the occasion. A
large tract of land near the city
has been purchased and the 1911
show promises to be a great suc
cess. Pendleton is attracting
wide attention through its unique
frontier celebration.
That Oregon will double its
present population during the
next ten years is the prediction
of Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of
the Department of History at the
University of Oregon. He draws
interesting parellels between the
agricultural states of the Middle
West amd Oregon, which he says
is now facing an era similar to
that marking tne periods of
heaviest settlement in the Miss
issippi Valley. He finds that
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and others
doubled their population in ten
year periods when people sought
the cheap agricultural lands to be
had there. He expects history
to repeat itself in Oregon.
The Oregon Developement
League will reprint a state book
let in large quantities. It is felt
that the thousands who are in
quiring about the advantages
this states offers can best be sup
plied with information if it comes
with the official stamp of the
state, indicating its authoritive
character. The railroads, also,
will duplicate such a booklet by
hundreds of thousands.
The bill now being considered
was framed by the Oregon De
velopement League to meet a
general demand for a state publi
cation. The measure provides
that the immigration agent shall
serve without pay but makes an
appropriation of $25,000, barely
the cost of compiling and print
ing a limited original edition of
tMe booklet. Once available,
such a publication will be dupli
cated widely.
