Amendment Offered Campaign to
Bo Undertaken Ttult Work
May B Carried Out.
That ths farmers of Oregon are awak
ening to the necessity for better high
way, hat appear somewhat skeptical aa
to methods that are proposed to be em
ployed in road work, waa the expression
given by speakers at an Informal meet
ing of the Oregon Good Roads Associa
tion lest night.
County Judge Cleeton spoke of the work
being done In Multnomah County, and
waa of the opinion that much great
progress could be made and more eco
nomical work could be done If more
modern methods were used.
"The great trouble with our road
building has always been that we have
never had the work systemlsed." said
Judge Cleeton. "The Improvement work
ts left In the hands of supervisors, many
of whom know nothing at all about road
construction. In many cases, the work
done la entirely unsatisfactory and the
money spent Is practically wasted.
"For this reason, there has been con
tinual trouble In the counties and farm
ers have shown an unwillingness to spend
money on road work. In order to get
out of the rut. we must adopt some
practical scheme, such as being advo
cated by the Good Roads Association,
and then we can go ahead with road
construction in an intelligent manner and
get results that will be satisfactory to
the farmers. It is simply a matter of
education and It will take time to im
press the farmers with the importance
of the measure for which we are work
In." Phil S. Bates reported that he had
made a canvass of the counties in East
ern Oregon and found that much inter
est was being taken Jn the good roads
movement, but that the farmers knew lit
tle In regard to the Good Roads amend
ment which la to be Toted on at the
coming election.
Efforts will be made to reach the farm
era In a more direct manner for the
purpose of enlightening them on the ob
jects of the proposed amendment. It Is
believed that with the business Inter
ests of the state united for the adoption
of the amendment, a sufficient number
of the farmers will favor it and the
measure passed by a aafe majority.
The amendment grants to the people of
each county the power to pledge the
credit of their county for money to build
permanent publlo roads. The question
whether or not a county should pledge
Its credit to raise money for building any
permanent road would be submitted to
a vote of the people of that county and
would be decided by a majority vote.
The people of any county may Issue
bonds or warrants, or any form of obliga
tion they desire, for such length of time
and at such rate of interest aa they may
determine; in short, this amendment la
bat an additional grant of power to the
people of each county to manage their
own business.

Road Connection Delayed.
MEDPORD, Or, Oct. 11. (Special.)
John F. Stevens, right hand man of
Jamea J. Hill, while In Medford today
said emphatically that the plan to con
nect the Pacific & Eastern Railroad
from Medford to Butte Falls, with the
Oregon Trunk, now moving up the Des-
hutes would ultimately be carried out.
He explained that the reason consturc
tlon work waa not started Immediately
was the unsettled conaiuoa of the
money markets.
Portland commercial bodies have been
asked to join organizations in all of the
cities and towns In the Columbia River
district in a movement to open the Co
lumbla River to navigation from tide
water to some point on the stream In
British Columbia. The matter has Just
been brought to the attention of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, and It
Is expected that body will Immediately
take steps to aid the movement.
Credit for the movement belongs to
the Wenatchee Commercial Club, and
the open rivers committee of that or
ganization has suggested that an open
Columbia River Association be formed
for the purpose of boosting the proj
ect in an effective manner. O. M.
Thomason, secretary of the committee,
refers to the matter as most important
to the people of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and British Columbia. In his
communication he says:
Columbia Nature's Highway.
"After production, transportation is
the most Important problem confront'
lng the people of any country. Puget
Sound is the nearest outlet to the sea
for Eastern Washington and all the Co
lumbla River basin, but Nature has
thoughtlessly erected an almost lm
passable barrier to that outlet, name
ly the Cascade Mountains. That ob
struction positively prohibits cheap
transportation direct to tidewater for
a great empire. But, the same Nature
has provided a natural and economical
way to avoid that obstruction, the Co
lumbia River. This great natural com
mon highway forms a natural drainage
to tidewater. It Is vastly to the Inter
est of the people living in the Columbia
River basin to utilize that highway.
"It will not only be a natural, easy
and economical means of transporta
tion, but will also be an automatic reg
ulator of freight rates for all the coun
try affected thereby. It Is one of the
most commercially Important rivers in
America, and yet less Is being done to
improve It than any other river. Other
rivers of less commercial Importance
have organized efforts In their Im
provement and the Columbia River has
none. It is now time that some active
and concerted effort be set in motion
to that end.
Interest Is International.
"The Columbia River is of interna
tional Importance and an organization
embracing this country and British Co
lumbia should be effected at once for
the prosecution of such work. After
several months' investigation of the
matter, it haa been found timely to sug
gest the formation of an International
Open Columbia River Association. This
organization should Include all com
mercial bodies embraced In the terri
tory of the Columbia River basin, and
which, would be tributary thereto and
affected thereby, whether above or be
low the International boundary line.
This should be a permanent organi
zation with annual meetings of pro- ,
