IGOOD ROADS NEEDED
fT he Visiting Commissioners
Mr dtp. Thpir imnnrtanrn.
RE ESSENTIAL TO PROGRESS
U Colonel R. "W. Richardson 8Bd James
W. Abbott Are Ih Portland to Pre
pare Plans for Good Roads
Convention. October 14-15.
"Good roads are essentials of social and
commercial progresa," declared Colonel
It W. Richardson yesterday. Colonel
Ulchardson Js Commissioner of the Public
2loads Inquiries, Department of Agricul
ture, lor the Mississippi "Valley.,
James VT. Abbott, commissioner for the
Hocky Mountain and Pacific Coast States,
was also In Portland. "The way to get
'good roads," said Mr. Abbott, "is to be
feln. getting them."
The two commissioners arrived from
Seattle in the morning. They made ar
jrangements for the Good Roads Conven
tion which is to be held here October 14
land 15, Tuesday and "Wednesday of next
Week. Last night they returned to Seat
foe to participate in the Good Roads Con
tention at that city, Thursday and Fri
day. They will give practical demonstra
tions in road-building at the Puget Sound
Iclty and here. Mayor Williams Is chalr
kman of the Chamber of Commerce com
mittee which is preparing for the conven
tion. Yesterday afternoon the two vlslt
jcrs discussed the convention with the
tMayor.
"Mayor "Williams is a grand man," re
hnarked Colonel Richardson, after the in
terview. "He is a National figure and
P?ortland has reason to be prou'd of him."
I Flans for the Convention.
l .Two sessions of the convention will be
meld each day. Members of the public
roads inquiries who will be present will
jbe Martin Dodge, director of the office
(of the inquiries, and Colonel Richardson
land Mr. Abbott F. H. Hitchcock, chief
rof the section of foreign markets, De
'partment of Agriculture, will address the
convention. Mayor "Williams will make
tithe address of welcome, and Mr. Dodge
I -will respond. Other addresses will prob
ably be delivered by Governor Geer, Rep
resentative Tongue. A. X.. Craig, general
passenger agent of the O. R. & N and H.
rB. Miller, United States Consul at Nlu
'Chwang, China. A register of all persons,
who attend the convention will be made
out, and badges will be distributed. Gov
ernment publications on good roads will
ithereafter be mailed to those who have
'registered. "Wednesday evening the vis
itors will be entertained at the Commer
'cial Club.
Oregon Conditions Favorable.
"You have as favorable conditions here
for good roads as any district of the
United States," said Mr. Abbott, "and
tar better conditions than most places.
"What has impressed me most out here?
Just what Tve said. You've got good
drainage and plenty of rock. "What more
do you want? Many places don't have
Ihese blessings.
"Legislation is needed in order to make
a beginning toward good roads. That wil
Insure concerted actldn. The way to have
good roads Is to get at building them. And
the way to have them last is to build
them permanently."
Each of the commissioners has his Indi
vidual way of urging good roads, but the
- two ways reach to tbc same end. Colonel
Blchardson laid stress on the need of
road-building under expert supervision.
Need of Expert Snpervlsion.
"I advise," said he, "that road-building
"be under the direction of state or county
engineers. The people will then get the
-worth of their money. The money now
Tvasted in roads would mike them the fin
est and most desirable kind of highways
If it were properly used.
"The Interests of the cities and country
are mutual. Trade follows the gpod road.
The city's interests extend beyond the
municipal boundaries. Most merchants
know this already. Those who do not
Teadily see it when it Is pointed out to
Ihem. I advise distributing the cost of
Toad-building beyond the immediate vicin
ity of the improvement. In New York and
other Eastern States half the co9t of road
"buildlng Is borne by the entire state. This
system works well. It apportions the
ost just asit apportions the benefits, and
it extends the good roads.
"Is this country too young for this sys
kem? Not a bit of It. What If the East
tern States are 200 years older than. Ore
ion? Is Oregon "200 years behind the
Jtimes? "
"A city like Portland Is concerned In the
condition of roads 200, 300, 400 miles in
the Interior. "Why? This is a commercial
Jport It exports and Imports great quan
stities of products. The feeders of its pros
perity are the country j-oads. not only 25
tallies away, but also 400 miles away. If
jthe-farmer cannot take his products to the
jS-allroad. what then? But If he has perma
ment, lasting roads, good In all seasons,
"what then? Will not good roads increase
Portland's commerce as bad roads detract
irom that commerce? "What If a railroad
should cease to operate, would not a big
ibowl result?
"But when a road becomes impassable
people wait for It to get better. If all
ithe roads should get that way. perhaps
the railroad would have to shut down. A
toad is no better than its worst place, and
Its grade is no easier than its steepest
.bill.
"Americans endure bad roads simply
from habit. They Insist upon having the
best of e'erything, but their roads are
jthe worst on earth. If a train Is an hour
late, a man grumbles and growls. If a
,bad road makes him five hours late, he
jtakes it as a matter of course.
Time to Repair Roads.
"The time to repair roads Is at all times.
IA. road should be repaired when it needs
to be repaired. This means'work in Win
ter as well as In Summer. "Winter is the
time when repair is needed, because that's
,-whcn roads wear. Most roads are good
Jn Summer.
"No. I don't believe In permitting people
.to 'work out their road tax.' They should
pay their tax In money. Any other pay
ment is waste. The man who works out
'iMs tax does not expect to labor as if he
were earning wages. He will not be
bossed as Is necessary in order to get
-good road construction. In most cases
he spends the day having an easy time.
"Good roads are avenues of social life.
They bring all parts of a community Into
touch. In distribution of products they
have a. steadying effect on market con
ditions by their uniform regulation Of
supply. They also bring the individual
Into closer touch with the world, for they
are the avenues over which comes his
daily information.
"We do not lay down one fixed method
lor road-building. But we do advise to
take the experience of older states and
modify it by local conditions."
"The function of legislation in this mat
ter in to extend nnnortunltv for hnttov
roads. When a county has the option of
availing itself of an advantage cxtjended
by the Legislature toward getting good
roaas, at, usuaiiy emoraces mat opportu
nity. First give the people an opportunity
to get good roads, and then the good roads
will come." "

NEW PLAN FOR RIVER JETTY
One From Harrington Point Torrards
ToBgmet Point Proposed.
A new plan for the improvement of the
Lower Columbia River -channel is under
consideration by the Government engi
neers. It proposes a long jetty from
Harrington Point, on the "Washington
shore, to Tongue Point. The jetty would
parallel the present ship channel.
It Is insisted that the Snag Island dike
has worked detrimental changes not only
Ih the channel below, but also on the bar.
This dike was built -by the Port of Port
land several years ago, and Is 15,000 feet
long. Its object was to throw the cur
rent .toward Tongue Point, so as to af
ford a straighter and shorter course to
the Oregon side. Its effect seems to. have
been contrary" to what was. expected to
occur, for instead of improving the chan-

nel, as Intended, It caused the main cur
rent of the river to flow past Scarborough
Heid, which is on the Washington shore
and north of the intended channel. It Is
argued that this diversion of the main
current northward has effected the ero
sion of Peacock Spit, -the spreading out
of the currents on the bar ahd consequent
shoaling.
The proposal is to build a dike from
Harrington Point to keep the main cur
rent from flowing past Scarborough- Head
and to divert It southward, where It used
to flow when the depth' on the bar was 31
feet
The eubject was broached by a letter
written by a river pilot to the Chamber
of Commerce. The letter was referred to
the trustees, who in turn referred It to
Captain Langfltt, United States engineer.
Captain LanfffJtt responded that he would
bring It to the attention of the Board of
Engineers. He said that in his opinion
the shoaled bar "Is probably a coinci
dence" of the Snag Island jetty, "and not
a cause." He. Informed the chamber that
the 25-foot channel project of the engi
neers Includes a long jetty from Hirrlng
ton Point Mr. Mears' letter Is as fol
lows: -
The navigation committee of 4he Chamber of
Commerce has been advised by one of the most
competent pilots on the river that the jetty
built In Cathlamet Bay below Snag Island
some years ago has diverted the current of the
Columbia River from Harrington's Point to
ward the Washington shore, thence following
that shore to about the vicinity of Scarborough
Head, thence southward. The current so di
verted, our informant thinks, causes the chan
nel to spread out on the bar, and, consequent
ly, to fill up. It Is the opinion of the pilot
whose views are here quoted thst If this current
were diverted by a Jetty built out from Har
rington Point to the mid-channel, which has
been made in the Taylor sands, above Astoria,
and more or less to the northward of Tongue
Point, it would carry the' waters Into the
straight channel from Astoria and scour out
the same channel on the bar twhlch had 31 feet
of water a few years ago. It Is the further
opinion of the pilot tnat the serious trouble
which now confronts the, navigation on the
Columbia River bar began after the construc
tion of the Snag Island jetty.
. This matter was carefully considered at the
last meeting of the board of trustees, and It
was voted to refer the Information to you,
with the request that If you thought it worthy
of consideration that you submit It to the
Board of Engineers now considering plans for
the Improvement of navigation at the mouth
of the Columbia River. 1. would respectfully
suggest that attention be specially given to
that part of the pilot's opinion which holds that
the shoaling of the Columbia River bar began
from the time of the completion of the, Snag"
Island petty. In behalf of the board of trus
tees I take pleasure In tendering you the .co
operation of the Chamber of Commerce iiuthe'
collection of any further data on this subject
that you may require.
Captain Langfitt's response was:
Your letter of October 1 regarding the effect
of the Snag Island Jetty on the bar Is received.
I will forward It to the Board of Engineers
having under consideration the project for the
improvement of the bar, as requested by you.
For your information I may say that the.
present project of a 25-foot channel from Port
land to the sea Includes in It a" long Jetty to
be built out from Harrington Point, as sug
gested by you In your letter, but at the same
time "I would like to say that my personal
opinion is that the fact that the bar shoaled
after the construction of the Snag Island Jetty
is probably a-coincidence, and not a cause fol

FIQHT ON CAR LINE
EAST BURXSIDE PROPERTY-OWX-ERS
MAKE AN' ABOUT-FACE.
ThoseOpnosed to Coastraction of
Street Railway as Far as East
Tentk Change "Tactics.
There has been a considerable change
of sentiment on the part of some of the
resident property-owners on East Burn
side street, who expressed themselves as
opposed to the construction of a railway
on that street as far out as East Tenth.
According to statements made yesterday
there will now be no material opposition
to the car line. One of the property-owners",
Charles "Wilson, who last week ex
pressed himself as strongly opposed to -the
car line, has become convinced that it
would be a good thing, and will, circulate
a petition for the granting of the fran
chise. It has been shown that the proposed
branches of the Portland Railway Com
pany, which is asking for a franchise,
will cut into new districts now rapidly
ROADS IN OREGONi
settling up with homes and which are not
now provided with street-car facilities. It
was urged that these people should be
considered and further that more street
car branches on the East Side would re
sult In the existing lines giving improved
service. It -was also shown, that a con
slderable portion of the $400,000 the com
pany proposes to expend In street rail
way construction 'would be expended In
East Side extensions. W. B. Chase, ex
City Engineer, yesterday in speaking ot
the proposed East Side street railway,
said:
"When Burnside-street bridge was pro
jected there was a great struggle to get
It located on Burnslde street, and the
object was to make a business thorough
fare out as far as East Tenth or East
Twelfth street, something like Morrison
and Washington streets on the "West Side.
It was made wide enough for four car
riages to drive abreast and double-car
tracks were put down owned by the city.
The purpose was to make a fine thorough
fare of East BurnGi&e street Street-cars
make the street They have made "Will
iams avenue and Russell street. In Al
blna. "Williams avenue Is one of the live
liest streets "on the East Side, due en
tirely to :he street-car line. Third. Wash
ington and Morrison streets were made
by the street-cars. They have made good
business center.s at Grand and Hawthorne
avenues, Grand avenue and East Morri
son street Union avenue and East Burn
slde street, and "Williams avenue and Rus
sel street It the railways are allowed to
avail themselves of the Burnside-street
bridge as far as East Tenth, East Burn
slde Is bound" to become a great business
street and property will, be advanced in
value. In a few years Morrison-street
bridge will have to be rebuilt, and the
City & Suburban will then probably have
to send their cars across Bumslde-street
bridge. The Oregdn Water Power & Rail
way Company Is also asking for some
strept to reach the Burnside-street bridge,
so that It can reach the West Side in case
of accident to the Madison-street bridge
with Its cars from Oregon City and
fpringwater. The Council governing the
city at the time the Burnside-street bridge
was built looked forward to this very
result, for In prpvldlng a franchise to
tho Portland Consolidated Street Railway
Company it was expressly provided that
vothcr car companies - should be permitted
to sena cars over me Bridge to Park
street, and the city owns the tracks and
wires for a distance of 1S21 feet on the
bridge. . I was a little surprised at the op
position some of the property-owners on
East Burnslde street, but I am confident
if they will deliberately canvass the sit
uation and the advantages other locali
ties have secured by street-car lines they
will not persist in opposing the franchise
asked for. Here on the East Side the
growth Is already extraordinary. The
present street-car facilities do not begin
to meet the demands on most of the lines,
'and there is now demand for better serv
ice." The property-owner who said. Saturday
that he would circulate a remonstrance
said yesterday that he would not do so,
and had decided not to "oppose the fran
chise. However, property-owners will in
sist if the franchise asked for Is
granted that It will be accompanied with
guaranties that the .street shall be kept In
good condition.
