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.

DO NOT NEED SALOON MONEY
Corvallis Council Finds Unexpected
Revenue for Coming Year.
CORVALL.1S. 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.

MORE TIME TO FISH
ColumbiaRiver Canners Would
Extend Spring Season.
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.

IE must eat to live. We must
sat TjroDerlv to he beautiful
and to be healthy. Digest
well. . If oue article of
food does not - agree with
you try another. 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. A tonic made up large
ly of alcohol will shrink the corpuscles
of the blood and make them weaker for
resistance. Cod liver oil makes the

stomach groan became it is
irritating. What is needed
is analterative extract like
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use
of alcohol, that will assist
the stomach in assimilating
or ' taking up from the
food such elements as are re
quired for the blood, also an
alterative that will assist the
liver into activity and cause it
to throw off the poisons in the
blood. When, we have accom
plished this we have put the
system into a fortified condi
tion so strong that it can repel the germs
of disease which we find everywhere
in the street cars, the shops, the facto
ries, the bedrooms, wherever many peo
ple congregate, or where sunlight and
good air do not penetrate.
"I feel that I would be doing an in
justice to you if I did not send, you a
statement of my case," writes Mrs. David
W. Guice, of Hamburg, Franklin Co.
Miss. UI had liver complaint and indi
gestion. Everything I ate disagreed
with me. I suffered all the time with
swimming in my head; heart beat toe
fast; feet and hands were cold all the
time. Did not sleep well at all. Waa
able to get about very little. I com
menced to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets,
and soon began to get about very well.
I have been doing my work ever since,
except washing. Feel better than I
have for several years. I thank you
most kindly for the happy relief and
cure."
"I feel it a duty to write and tell you
how much good your medicines have
done me," writes Mrs. RobL Muirhead,
of Orchard Lake, Mich. "When I first
wrote you I was in very poor health but
your medicines have helped me wonder
fully and if I had taken them a little
longer I would have been entirely cured.
Am going to get some more of your
medicine right away. I do not think
there is a better remedy for indigestion
and other diseases that people are afflicted
with at this time of the year, than your
Golden Medical Discovery.' "
"I had been sick for more than a year
with kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Lucy
Hayter, of Jacksboro, Jack Co., Texas.
"Several dilferent doctors treated me,
but none did me any good. One doctor
said I never could be cured, that I had
Bright's disease. I suffered nearly death
at times; had spells the doctors called,
spasms. Was bedfast most of the time
for six months. My mother begged me
to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. With but little hope I wrote to
Dr. Pierce, and he said he could cure me.
I began to take his ' Golden Medical Dis
covery,' and, although I had given up t
die, I began to improve from the start,
and by the time I had taken twenty-two
bottles I was entirely cured. I weig-t
more than ever before."
