WEST PROCLAIMS
G00DJ10ADS WEEK
Hood Itlver county will take a vi
tal Intervat In the proclamation
which has Just been made b3- Govern
or West as follow:
Oregon la on the eve of a great
awakening. The morrow will bring
the Panama canal, and with It will
come unbounded opportunltlen with
their atteuudunt Influx of popula
tion and coueijuent commercial and
Industrial growth, advancement
and prosperity.
Ourt'reatorln the leglnnln mould

When we think of her delightful cli
mate, her hundred) of mllen of golden
beach, her lofty mountain and runh
Ing utreamn, cryntal lukex and leau
tlful harbor, her magnificent foretn
and rolling pralrlen, fertile valley
and roaming herd, of her waving
grain and IumcIoum fruit a land
dotted with proHierou title and
productive farm we inut admit
that nature has fully performed her
part. The federal government, too,
has treated us fairly In the way of
appropriations for the development
of our waterways, and even the rail
roads have awakened to the realiza
tion of our needs and their opportu
ne
nltles and are checkerboarding
state with bands of steel.
In view of these things we are
prompted to ask ourselves what
should we do In the way of co-opera
tion with these several agencies for
the development of the state? It Is
true that we have given good laws,
good government, good schools
and many other desirable things to
those who have come within our
borders, but much of this good has
been nullified by some of the things
we have fulled to do and chief am jng
these Is our neglect In the matter of
the construction of good road.
Without good roads there can be
no great development and no great
progress. hat we need most is
more people more people In the ru
ral districts. And In order to at
tract people to the rural districts we
must make rural life pleasant and
attractive. You cannot maroon a
new settler and his fumlly on a farm
In an cwenn of mud, no matter how
beautiful the spot, ami expect to find
htm happy and content. He de
mands 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, b,it It Is In

good roads. Money spent for good
roads Is money well spent. When
we speak of spending several millions
of dollars In the next few years In
road construction many are stag
gered 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 ns to Helen
title road building.
The ijuestlon of good roads has
been fairly well discussed of late and
we have learned more about road
building 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 under
take on a large scale the construe
tlon of a system of highways In this
state.
We need first: the passage of
model good roads 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
understu riding of the whole question
by the whole people of this state.
This understanding will come only
through the study by, and education
of. the whole people.
Numerous bills are about to be Ini
tiated 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
consideration, study and discussion
of these measures.
Now, thereforore, I, Oswald West,
(iovernor of the State of Oregon, by
virtue of the powre and authority In
me vested, do hereby proclaim the
week Is'glnidng the 4th day of Feb
ruary as (iood Koads Week, and I
do hereby earnestly recommend to
the people f f this state that during
this period the question of good
roads legislation be given careful
thought and study through public
ami private discussion and through
the columns of the press. In order
that knowledge pertaining thereto
may Is? Increased, public sentiment
crjstall.ed and effective legislation
sec tired.
In testimony liereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state tots' affixed,
on this the mud day of January, 1!)12

Norfolk, Neb., Is living like a king on
Hood lilver apples. He recently re
quested J. H. Fredrlcy, local agent
for the O.-W. It. & N., to hlp him
live boxes of extra fancies. Mr. Fred
rlcy found that the extra fancies had
all tcen shipped, but sent fancies.
Mr. Landers In his letter says: "I am
well pleased that you did not ship
the extra fancies as these were fancy
enough for us." He also says that
he plans coming to the coast next
summer and will certainly stop off
at Hood Klver and see where the
famous apples are raised.
