IMPETUS IS GIVEN 1
T0GDQDR0AD5HEHE
Professor Maurice E. Eldridge,
Government Expert, Talks
at Masonic Temple.
ADVICE OF EXPERT HEARD
Supervisors Criticised for Starting
Work Too Late tn Spring and
Working in DiUerent Ways.
Judgo Webster Speaks.
Good roads In Oregon received an im
petus Saturday night when Professor
Maurice E. Eldridge, the Government's
good roads expert, delivered a stereopti
con lecture at the Masonic Temple. In
addition to Mr. Eldridge, Judge L. R.
Webster made a strong plea for concerted
action in the movement.
Professor Eldridge has been in every
part of the Unfted States in the interest
of good roads and has a fine collection of
views which he uses in his demonstra
tions. In his address he urged the peo
ple of Oregon to take advantage of the
natural facllties and resources of the
state for the construction of highways.
He also touched on the great future pos
. slbilltles of Oregon as a resort for tour
ists from all quarters of the globe if
the natural highways are improved as is
clone in Switzerland. He showed a num
ber of views of the boulevards construct
ed In Switzerland by the government and
pointed out that the good roads in this
umall country are the means of bring
ing millions of dollars into the country
annually. The complete evolution of road,
building from the time of the Pharoalia
in Egypt down to the present time was
shown by the pictures.
Highways Great Problem.
Professor Eldridge said in part:
"Improvement of our public highways
is one of the great problems before the
. American people today. Poor roads
caused Napoleon's downfall at Waterloo
' and good roads can exert as great an in
fluence on the world today. The move
ment of thousands of our young people
from the farm to the city Is in a way
caused by inaccessible roads. "When the
country districts are connected by a sys
tem of good highways, this movement will
in a measure be checked. I have in
spected roads in every part of the United
States and I find the roads in Oregon
superior to those of many other states,
but there are possibilities of vast im
provement. A state with Oregon's great
resources not only must have good roads
but will have the best roads, in time.
"I believe that many of Oregon's roads
can be greatly improved by using oil or
tar where the dust is a-factor to contend
with, for this has been used with great
success in a number of states, particu
larly California.
"Another factor with which we must
contend in future is the automobile. This
machine when run at a high speed is a
great destroyer of the ordinary road and
does far more damage than the heaviest
loads. But the automobile is now a fac
tor in our progress that has come to
stay. In California automobiles have
been run over the oiled boulevards at a
rate of 80 miles an hour without any
damage being inflicted.
Supervisors Are Criticised.
"One of the greatest handicaps to road
building in Oregon, however, is that the
Supervisors do not begin work early
enough in the Spring and then there are
seldom two of them who use the same
methods1. There should be at least one
expert under whom the Supervisors
should work and the "bulk of road im
provement work should be done in the
Spring, while the ground is still damp,
rather than in the .Summer, after the soil
has become thoroughly dried. If the
ground is damp when the roads are re
. paired, the soil becomes hard and com
pact and does not become cut up as it
otherwise would."
Dr. Andrew C. Smith then introduced
Judpre L. R. Webster, who said:
"The people of Oregon are indeed In
debted to Professor Eldridge, who has
crossed the Continent In the interest of
the good-roads movement In Oregon, and
Tiis visit is made at an opportune time.
The decision will have to be made soon
as to what policy Oregon is to adopt in
the construction of boulevards. I am in
favor of a strong central organization
with auxiliary branches in every county
In the state. If a strong, enthusiastic or
ganization M.n be established, it will be
but a matter of a few years until the
smiling valleys of our beautiful state
will be connected with a network of high
ways that will be a credit to our Nation.
"What we need is some sort of. legisla
tion to provide a manner of current taxa
tion to meet the expenses of construct-
lng roads. To get the necessary funds is
the paramount issue now and I believe
that an initiative measure should be
brought before the people at the next
election to deal with this question."
Judge Webster, with Professor Eldridge,
will make a number of addresses at Wil
lamette Valley towns and will conclude
their good-roads campaign with a mon
ster rally at Medford June 8.

PACIFIC & IDAHO TO GROW
Weiser Delighted Over Extension
Planned to Meadows, Idaho.
WEISER, Idaho, May 29. (Special.)
Clle M. Helgho, president and gen
ral manager of the Pacific & Idaho
Northern Railroad, that runs from this
city north to Evergreen, a distance of
76 miles, returned today from an ex
tended trip to New York City and St.
Paul, where he was in consultation
with the leading; stockholders of the
company, having: been called there in
regard to an extension of the railroad.

said that work on the extension will
begin Immediately and that trains will
be running Into Meadows, about 15
miles from the present terminus, by
Eall.
The Pacific Sc. ' Idalio Northern is
owned principally by the Weyerhaeuser
syndicate and the United Rubber Com
pany, both said to be closely identified
with the Hill interests, and it is the
general opinion that the road will con
nect with, the Northern Pacific or the
Pittsburg & Gilmore road next year.
The Weyerhaeuser Lumber Company
owns several thousand acres of the
finest timber land in Idaho, a few miles
beyond tne present terminus of the
road The extension to Meadows will

posed extension.
CLEARS DOUBT
HEREST STAND EXPLAINED BY
PRESBYTERIANS.
General Assembly Reaffirms Belief
In' Cardinal Theological Tenets
of Religious Body.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 29.
That there may be no doubt in the
minds of anyone that because the New
York Presbytery and the synod was ex
onerated from the complaint of heresy
Friday or that the Presbyterian Church
was going back on doctrines laid down
by its founders, a lengthy statement
was adopted by the general assembly
at its closing session here Saturday after
noon reaffirming the belief of the gov
erning; body In the cardinal theological
tenets of the church.
The statement called a "Deliverance"
in ecclesiastical language was framed
on the committee on bills and over
tures and was read by the Rev. H. B.
Macauley, of Trenton, N. J.
There was no debate on the declara
tion beyond one objection by the Rev.
H. N. Wilson, of St. Paul, who declared
that the Presbyterian Church already
had enough "declarations" on doctrinal
points and that he "saw no reason for
making; one." He voted against the
adotion of the statement as did half a
dozen other ministers' who felt as he
did.
At the meeting Saturday the report of
the committee on soslal problems was
received. It 'declares:
"The getting of wealth must be in
obedience to Christian ideals, and all
wealth, from whatever source acquired,
must be held or administered as a trust
from God for the good of our fellow
men." The church protests against an undue
desire for wealth, untempered pursuit of
gain and the immoderate exaltation of
riches, the report says, and calls for a
more equitable distribution of wealth.
"The church declares for abolition of
child labor that is, the protection of
children from exploitation In industry and
trade and from work that is dwarfing,
degrading or morally unwholesome.
"The church declares for the employ
ment of methods of conciliation and ar
bitration in industrial disputes.
"The church declares for the release
of every worker from work one day in
severe and it declares further for ade
quate protection of working people from
dangerous machinery and objectionable
conditions of labor.
"The church declares for some pro
vision by which the btirden Imposed by
injuries and death from industrial acci
dents should not be petmitted to rest on
the "injured person or his family." "
Before adjourning, the assembly
voted to again meet in this city next
year. Final adjournment was taken at
4 o'clock.

KLAMATH FALLS, May 29. (Special.)

BRITONS RESENT ADVICE
American Single-Tax Theorist Is
Rapped in Public Print.
LONDON. May 27. (Special.)
Joseph Fels. of Philadelphia, million
aire chemical manufacturer, is well
known on both sides of j the Atlantic
as an enthusiastic land taxer, accord
ing to Henry George ideas. But his
enthusiasm on this side has drawn an
angry protest from Captain E. G.
Pretyman, Conservative M. P. for
Chelmsford, ex-Secretary of the Navy
and a big man In the affairs of the
Land Union, a new organization formed
to protect British landlords.
Fels has been advocating stringent
land taxes and promising $25,000 a year
to the campaign in England. Prety
man finds this terrible. In lurid lang
uage he appeals to Britishers through
the Times not to allow themselves to
be bossed by "a foreign millionaire."
"After all," he says, "this is our coun
try." Whereupon Liberal papers make
great fun of the possessive pronoun
and twit Pretyman with meaning by
"our" not the British nation, but merely
the landlords.
Mr. Fels says:
"I own some 2400 acres in different
counties of England. ' My experience
has convinced me that the land system
generally injures the farmer and la
borer, the builder, and all lessees of
land. The price of land is generally
too high, and so are the rents. The
rents are often drawn from the farm
ers' interest and wages, and even from
bis capital. I don't believe that badly
fed, badly-housed, badly-clothed and
poorly-educated laborers produce the
most that can be produced from the
land. I don't believe that farmers
with too little capital can produce the
most, and if the total production is
less than it might be the land owners
get Jess than they might get.
"Let the producing classes have a
free hand in producing, without the
experience of being denied the use of
land and rack-renting. The system of
taxing Improvements and not taxing
unused land is bad in two ways. It
hits the man who should be encouraged
to improve and lets off the man who
should be hit."
STARS AND STRIPES WAVE
Koosevelt's Advent Eagerly Awaited
by Good Old "Lunnon Town.H
LONDON. May 27. (Special.) When
Colonel Roosevelt goes to see the great
Derby race In ten days' time he will be
greeted by perhaps the most representa
tive British crowd that ever gathers in
one place during the year. His recep
tion, as he goes by automobile with Am
bassador . Rcid's party from Dorchester
House, is sure to be magnificent,, for
Roosevelt and the Kaiser loom larger in
British eyes than any men outside of
England.
The keenest interest is taken in the
Roosevelt receptions. The average Brit
isher is delighted the thing is being done
well and the entertainments arranged by
Andrew Carnegie, Lord and Lady Granard.
Lady Farquhar and Ambassador Reid,
to say nothing of the royal cordiality to
the ex-Pesident, have ousted even poli
tics as a subject of conversation.
How large the Stars and Stripes loom
in the British capital can be seen in every
smart hotel and entertainment center.
"With the Roosevelt season in full swing
and the International Horse Show, with
its contingent of American competitors,
in immediate prospect, the Summer is
starting with London practically an off
shoot of New York.

HQQUIAM
DENIAL
Grays Harbor Millmen Not
Cutting Prices, They Say.
MOVE NOT RETALIATORY
Declaration Made That Portland
and Paget Sound Are Unable to
Cope With Demands of Cali
- fornia for Lumber Supplies.
HOQUIAM. Wash., May 29. (Special.)
San Francisco dispatches to the effect
that Grays Harbor millmen cut the price
on lumber $1.50. are denied by lumber
men here and they even go further and
say that their efforts to secure California
trade are by no means made in a retalia
tory sense against either Puget Sound or
Portland millowners.
They declare that conditions have re
cently shaped themselves so as to make
a bid for the southern trade a matter
of profitable business for all concerned.
As one millman expressed it, Portland
and Puget Sound mills have been unable
to satisfy the needs of California with
their heavy foreign shipments and Grays
Harbor producers are stepping into their
places at a price fair to buyer and pro
ducer. Supply to Be Cut Off.
Not since last Winter has there been
such a reactionary movement for a satis
factory adjustment of lumber tariffs on
the Coast, and coupled with the advance
made In January by local mills to $15 has
come the decision of the logcers to cut
off the supply until the market resumes
a normal condition.
This is taken to mean that a large
supply of fir exists) on the Harbor which
will be used in supplying the Coast trade
and will cause an early resumption of cut
ting to facilitate the rail trade, which
has grown to dimensions never known
before here. These orders have been con
stantly increasing and with them the sup
ply of cars has reached such proportions
as to make the handling of all rail orders
easy.
The' mills here are running to ca
pacity and handling orders with a
despatch never 'known before because
of the manner in which the railway
companies are furnishing cars. With
such conditions existing It is easy to
note, say the . millmen, that Coast ship
ments can be handled in connection
with the rail trade.
San Pedro Sale Price Not Cut.
The recent sale of 25,000.000 feet to
San Pedro buyers was made without a
cut in the price lower than Portland
or Puget Sound are offering.
While they will not state the price
is below $15, it is generally believed
that a slight reduction was made, but
not to $14, the Portland and Puget
Sound price. The purpose of the cut,
however, is said to be due .to labor
conditions and a desire to regain the
trade that has slipped away from the
Harbor.
This could be accomplished in no
way save the disposition of California
buyers to show business judgment and
purchase In the best market.

and are only going to approach it in a
half-hearted way you might as well
not take it at all. Be sure to take hot
baths and avoid colds. Please let me
know how you succeed.
