NEED 0FG00D ROADS Sentiment Is Unanimous at the Salem Convention, PUZZLE IS HOW TO GET THEM President Scott's Solution Is an Ap peal to Government Aid and Sys tem In Expending Fund6 on Oregon Highways. SALEM. Or., Dec 13i (Special-The Oregon Good Roads Association met in annual convention in Salem today, with a largo attondance from nearly every part or the state. At the opening session this afternoon ISO delegates tvere present, and this number will "be materially Increased by those who arrive tonight and tomor row morning. "How to Got Good Roads" Is the prin cipal theme of the addresses, for there Is no doubt upon the proposition that there Is need of much Improvement in the "high ways. Supervision by competent engin eers, care in establishing grades, and the Issuance of bonds to ralso the necessary funds for permanent work, were some of the suggestions made In the addresses to day. President Campbell, of the Univer clty of Oregon; Director Withycom.be, of the Agricultural College, at Corvallis, and -tl&nager Tom Richardson, of the Com mercial Club of Portland, will be among the leading speakers tomorrow. Mayor F. W. Waters, of Salem, who is himself an enthusiast In favor of perman ent road-bulldlng, and who has materially aided In roadwork la this vicinity, wel comed the members of the convention to Salem. Mr. Waters urged the recom mendation of the Brownlow bill. He pointed to the work In good road-building In Marion County as a guide for state legislation, and praised Governor Cham berlain for the use of convict labor on highways near the state institutions. After thanking Mayor Waters for his cordial words of welcome. President John H. Scott delivered his annual address. Mr. Scott urged the necessity of system In road management, and the need of pub lic education on the subject. The solution of the problem, he believes. Is in Govern ment aid. He said: There never has been a country that h.as "built good public highways that did not receive aid from lta general government to defray a part ef the expenses of their construction. I predict that the time is not far distant when the financial part of this problem will be sat isfactorily solved. I think the General Govern ment will pay a part, the state a part, the county a part, and possibly the respective road districts and adjacent property-owners will pay a. part of the cost of construction. The ex penses, thus divided, will not fall very heavily vpen any one, and we would have enough money to o at road-bulldlng in a scientific way. I would, therefore, recommend that this convention exert Its Influence In the endeavor to cauae such legislation to be enacted. By was of introduction, Governor Chamberlain said that there is one thing at least upon which all of us can agree that our roads in Oregon are bad; but If the enthusiasm that has been displayed In the last few years Is an in dication of what will take place, we shall soon be able to agree that Oregon roads are good. Oregon ought to have the best roads In the United States. He referred to the immense wagon road grants that have been given to road companies in this state grants amounting to magnificent fortunes and said that if the terms of the grants had been carried out In good faith, we would now have splendid high ways, where we now have nothing but sagebrush trails. The new law. substituting the plan of paying road taxes In cash. Instead of la bor, received the Governor's commenda tion, for it does away with a system un der which roadwork was made a sort ot picnic. He also approved the plan of state aid toward building and of National aid. so that this country shall have good highways extending from one side to the other. While he hesitates to recommend the creation of new offices', ho said that he be lieves that it is advisable to plan the building of roads under the supervision of a state engineer, or a board of super visors, so that the roads built will be of the best character. Speaking of convict labor, the Governor said that he doubts whether prisoners can be used extensively on the roads, ex cept near the prison, for the cost of guarding day and night would make the plan too expensive. He favored the build ing of permanent roads by convict labor near the state Institutions, as an object lesson to the people of the state. Ex-Govcrnor Geer. who was upon the programme for Wednesday evening, took the place of Senator M. A. Miller this afternoon, the Senator being too ill to be view of the unanimity of opinion In favor of good roadB, ex-Governor Geer said that the question is not "What?" but "How." Roads must be "built." not "worked." If all the labor that has been used in the last 40 years In "working" roads had been used in "building" roads, the highways of this county would now be high and dry and good both Winter and Summer. Ex-Governor Geer agreed that the two great needs in road-building arc skill and means, for these are now lacking. Tor skill we must look to our universities and agricultural colleges, where young men will be taught engineering so that they will be able to plan roads and su pervise the work of building. The means must come from the people, either by taxation, or by voluntary contribution, as has been done in the .Liberty neighbor hood south of Salem. He agreed with Governor Chamberlain that the use of convict labor on the roads is Impracticable. He favored the bonding plan of raising funds with which to build permanent highways "now." At the close of theo addresses a com munication from County Judge Condon, of Tillamook County, was read, favoring the amendment of section 4937 of the code bo as to authorize County Courts to es tablish tollroads. Representative Kuney. of Wasco. Wasco County, said that crude oil has been used on the roads near his town with great sat isfaction. President Scott is endeavoring to seoure copies 6f a pamphlet showing how oil is -used on roads in California. Ho doubts whether oil can be used suc cessfully on the clay roads of the Willam ette Valley: he believes- that oil can he ujted on the light soil roads of Eastern Oregon. Programme for Today.

Or., Dec 13. (Special.) It Is not expected now that an Increase in the tax levy for city purposes in Corvallis will become necessary as a result of the operation of the local option law. An in crease of the levy to about 8 mills was at first contemplated, in order to make up the 53000 loss of revenue from the four saloons that are to go out of business January 1; The report of the County Clerk, sub mitted at a meeting of the Council last night, shows an unexpected Increase in the revenue that will be derived from taxes the coming year. The Increase ag gregates J42S, and is occasioned by the un expected Increase In trie aggregate of the taxable property. The development makes up nearly 23 per cent of the lost saloon revenue. Further, to recoup the treasury the Council has given notice that the city- will no longer pay the expense of constructing sewer laterals across the streets, and that where streets are hereafter crossed by laterals for the benefit of property-owners that the abutting poperty must bear the cost. The policy of. the city paying for sewers under streets has been in vogue for several years at an expense estimated from $500 to $1800 or more per year. Members of the Council believe now that by further economies the ex penditures can be kept within revenues, in spite of the loss of saloon licenses, and it is not likely that the Legislature will be asked for power to increase the limit of tho city tax levy.

WOULD ADD FIVE OR TEN DAYS Sunday-Closing Law Does Not Meet With Favor of Packers on Ac count of the Difficulty of Its Enforcement. ASTORIA, Or., Dec 13. (Spcclal.)-A meeting of the Columbia River canners and cold-storage people "was held here this afternoon for the purpose of discussing proposed 'changes to the fishing laws. Every packing company on the river was represented except the Seufert Packing Company and the Smiley-Sheldon Com pany. A letter was- received from Mr. Seufert. stating that he heartily approved of holding the meeting, but, owing to business engagements, he could not be present. The only suggestion ho offered was to announce his disapproval of any effort to abolish the closed seasons. - The meeting today was called at. the re quest of Hon. J. G. Mcgler, of Bropkfleld, who Is a canner and a Legislative Representative-elect from Wahkiakum County, Washington. HIb object In calling the packers together was to get suggestions from them which he will submit at the conference of the legislative members to be held here on next Thursday. Mr. Meg ler was elected chairman of the meet ing and George W. Sanborn acted as secretary. While numerous matters were discussed, the only question put to a vote was the extension of the Spring open season. The vote was almost unanimous in favor of an extension of from five to ten days, which means to August 20 or 25. The ex pressed opinion of those present was that with this exception the laws as at present are satisfactory If they are strictly en forced. Especial stress was laid on the necessity of enforcing the Spring closed season. The aueation of & Sunday closed law was discussed at length. The consensus of opinion was that such a measure would be advantageous- fn that, if strictly ob served. It would permit more fish, to reach the spawning grounds, but the packers ar gued that to enforce the law would entail a cost greater than the expense of main taining all the hatcheries on both sides of the river, and therefore it is Imprac ticable. Want Deputy Burton Removed. ASTORIA, Or., Dec 13. (Special.) A pe tition has been in circulation during the past few days asking that L.'C. Burton; Deputy Fish Commissioner for tho State of Washington, and assigned' to the Co lumbia River district, be removed from office, and about 20 persons have signed It, A counter-petition Is also fcelng circulated among the fishing interests on the Wash ington shore, asking that Mr. Burton be retained in his present position, and over 500 persons have already signed It. Both petitions will bo filed with the Washing ton State Commissioner as soon as his ap pointment is announced. TO CHOOSE SCHOOLBOOK8. Commission Will Be Appointed by Governor Next Month. SALEM, Or.. Dec 13. (Special.) The appointment of a State, Text Book Commission of five members is a duty Governor Chamberlain must perform next month. The Commission appoint ed -by him must select textbooks for all the public schools of the state in 1907, which books will be continued In use for six years. The present Commission was ap pointed four years ago by Governor Geer, in pursuance of the textbook law enacted by the Legislature of 1S39. At that time there were a large number of persons seeking places on the Com mission, many of them men who had scarcely gained local reputations as country pedagogues. Some of the ap plicants not only urged their claims personally, but secured tho assistance of political friends in their endeavor to get places on the Commission. Gov ernor Geer took tho ground that this Commission is of large importance and Its members should be men who have gained state-wide reputations for In tegrity, business ability and intellec tual accomplishments. Governor Geer believed that good business Judgment was tho primary qualification for a member of the Com mission. Good business men of educa tion and literary turn of mind could secure aid, if necessary, from school teachers, and thus make wise selec tions of books, but ho did not think it so probable that a Commission com posed of school men, who are often im practical, would secure the assistance of the Judgment of good business men. So the Governor appointed five men, only one of whom was actively engaged in educational work. They were H. W. Scott, editor; W. M. Ladd. banker; P. L. Campbell, president ot Moumouth Nor mal; W. M. Colvlg, lawyer, and Stephen A. Lowell, lawyer. Mr. Lowell declined to serve for the reason that he belioved that school men should be apointed. Governor Geer appointed Charles A. Johns, lawyer, to fill the place. Under the old system of adoption of text-books each County Superintendent had a vote, as also did the presidents of the normal schools. Under that system there was a divided responsibility and there waa little opportunity for members of the selecting board to confer. Text book companies sent their agents to ex ert their Influence with the individual members of the board and tho agents were generally too smooth for the school men. The American Book Company finally secured almost a monopoly of the text book business In Oregon and its power was so great that it could dictate the edu cational affairs of tho state. Men lost their positions In the public school service or secured desirable places, according to the likes or dislikes of that company. It Was for the purpose of throwing off this yoke and preventing any text-book com pany from wielding an improper Influence that the new text-book law, known as the Daly law, was enacted. Under tho provisions of that law text book -companies were required to submit sealed bids for furnishing books, and to supply each member of the commission with a sample copy. When the text-book commission met in Salem in July, 1901, the text-book companies sent their most able representatives to. look- after their inter ests. Among the book agents here were the smoothest salesmen in the country men who drew large salaries for their services. But these men found that they were "up against It." when they came to deal with the commission Governor Geer had appointed. Text-book men who had dealt with former selecting boards said that they were satisfied that nothing but merit would influence the decisions of tne new board. Men who have represented their companies In nearly every state in .the Union declared that no other state had as strong a body ot men to select its public school text-books as had Oregon. Though some" of the text-book men were not entirely pleased, of course, with the result, all admitted that they had been given a "square deal." and that the text book commission had acted without im proper Influence and had exercised intelli gent Judgment in reaching' their decisions'. The books adopted by them have been in use three years jihd a half and have given general satisfaction. Tho text-book law provides for the ap pointment of a new commission every four years, while the selection of text-books is made" only once In six years. It is there fore' apparent that occasionally a commis sion will be appointed without any duty to perform. The commission appointed by Governor Chamberlain In 1205 will select books In 1507, but the commission appoint ed In 1909 will -have no work to perform, for it will go- out of office In January. 1913, and the next selection of book's will be made In July, 1913. Governor Chamberlain says he has not yet given much thought to the text-book commission subject, but will be doing so in the near future. From some of the educational workers who have been keep ing track ot affairs, it Is learned that the following persons have been mentioned as suitable for appointment on the commis sion: E. E. Bragg, Union; J. A. Churchill, Baker City. H. J. Hockenberry, La Grande; E. B. Conklin, Pendleton; W. L. Tucker. Island City; E. Hofer, Salem; John D. Daly. Portland; H. S. Lyman. Astoria; M. A Miller, Lebanon; C. H. Jones, Salem. There lb also some talk In favor of tho it-appointment of the present members of the commission. Compensation Is not much of a consideration In the matter, a3 each member receives only 100 for each meeting rf the commission. . FUSION MEN FILE CONTESTS. Allege Frauds in Election of District Judges in Montana. BUTTE, Mont.', Dec 13. L. P.Forestell and Peter Breen, late Fuaion candidates for the District Bench, have filed four contests against George Bourquin and Mike Donlan, tho Democratic-Republican Judges-elect,, who have been issued cer tificates of election. It is alleged that frauds were committed by the County Commissioners. In the se lection of the judges of election; that there was illegal registration; that there was Illegal voting, and that the Judges of election ' made fraudulent returns. Affi davits of disqualification were filed against both Trial Judges Clancy and Harney by tho attorneys for the defense. This takes the hearing out of the Juris diction of these courts. Breen Is County Attorney and Is the head of the so-called Heinze forces. He has an action pending In the Supreme Court to be declared the third Judge, maintaining that Judge McClernan's term has expired, and as no election waa held for this office, by virtue of receiving the third highest number of votes he should have the office. HUNTERS SEE A WILD MAN. Naked Body Is Covered With Growth of Hair. VANCOUVER, B. C, Dec 13. While out hunting recently near Home Lake, four reliable men from Qualicum named Kln cald, Ross, Hutchins and Crump saw a wild man, evidently young, with long mat ted hair and beard and covered with hair all over his body. The man ran with the swiftness of a deer when the four approached. Several times during the past few years re ports have, come from the Home Lake district that such a creature had brfen seen and people recollect that 12 years ago a boy wandered oft Into the bush and was never seen again. It is sur mised that the little boy grew up, but how he fared unless cared for by wild animals, Mowgll fashion, it Is difficult to understand. A party will go out to search for the wild man.

But don't try cosmetics until you have corrected every fault of diges tion. Pretty women often sacrifice their beauty to digestion. It is a fact that any form of dyspepsia may in a few days transform a clear, white skin into a mass of pimples and black spots. A beautiful woman has the beauty of her stomach. The oft quoted phrase, "The way to a man's heart lies through his stomach," is true in a medical sense, for a distended stomach caused by indigestion will cause heart palpitation. If the stomach is in flamed or dyspeptic, the blood does not get the food it requires. If the blood is watery, if it has accumulated poisons, every other organ of the body will suffer heart, liver, lungs and kidneys. Treat the stomach, first. "Given a healthy body," say3 Dr. R.V. Pierce, the specialist in woman's dis eases, of Buffalo, N. Y., "and a healthy mind, and every one can cultivate and enjoy happiness." Riches do not make happiness, nor does it do to worry about tomorrow. Do what you can now. Do the best you know how, then boldly face the after-a-while. In nine cases out of ten the person who worries, who can't sleep o'nights, and feels blue, and at discord with all the world is the person whose stomach is not quite right. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery maintains a person's nutrition by ena bling one to eat, retain digest and as similate the proper nutritious food. It overcomes the gastric irritability and symptoms of indigestion, and thus the person is saved from those symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache, etc., which are so common.
