TIIE 3fORXIXG OREGOXTAX. FRIDAY, APRFL ' 28, 1911.
ROAD PLANS NEW
Oregon Association to Be Su
perseded by Another.
BRANCHES TO BE FEATURE
Effort Will Be Made to Enlist All
Counties of State in Movement
to Create Public Sentiment
for Better Highways.
To organize s statewide good road
association with county branches will
be the purpose of the meeting to be
held tonight In room C04 Berk building.
It will be called to order by Dr. An
drew C Smith. There will be a session
of the old OreKon Uood Itoads Asso
ciation before the state association Is
formed, all of the business which be
longs to it will be disposed of and the
society will then pass Into history. The
new organization is the result of the
deliberations of a committee appointed
to ascertain the best methods for re
organization, composed of John 8. Keail.
K. H. Wemme. t S. Jarkmn, K. F.
Cannon and Frank C. Rlxirs. They will
make a report which provides for a
statewide organization, having a local
society In each county, with a presi
dent, vice-president and secretary
treasurer. The yearly fees are to be
j:.SO for each member. (0 per cent of
which Is to be contributed to the state
organisation and 40 per cent to the
local. There la provision for active
and regular memberships. The commit
tee on constitution and by-laws Is
composed of W. C Bristol. L. R. Web
ster and James Cole.
Sentiment to Be FoMcrcd.
It Is the aim of the society to create
a sentiment for the passace of laws
that will Induce the building of state
roads on modern sclentilic plans.
Jt was found that the burden of car
rying on a campaign with only Port
land to back up the movement was too
heavy for the members and that It
waa not effective In securing the sen
timent desired throughout the state.
It is felt by Portland good roads en
thusiasts that to present the subject
of needed legislation to the citizens of
the state properly enthusiasm must be
aroused and to do this effectively It Is
believed local associations will be nec
essary. Letters have been received from
many of the leading men of the city
and state who have expressed a desire
to take part In the new movement. J.
P. O'Brien, general manager of the
Harrlman lines In the Pacific North
west, has Indicated that he would lend
his assistance In bringing the subject
to the attention of U.e public, and has
said that It is essential that good roads
be established In Oregon.
"We need roads. said he. "as much
as any one thing In Oregon. They are
necessary to the successful handling of
the products of the soli. The moun
tain valleys in the western part of the
state need roads more than any other
part- With our heavy rainfall It Is ap
parent that a sound and suitable path
way is necessary for the moving of
farm goods. " .
Early Campaign Proposed.
With the launching of the new soci
ety It Is proposed to begin an early
campaign for the adoption of an Ini
tiative measure to force the proper dis
tribution of funds for building state
wide roads. It Is contended by advo
cates of good roads that If a bill la
submitted to the people for the expend
iture of a large sum for a consistent
system of state roads, it will be adopt
ed by a majority that will surprise
some of the opponents of proposed
state-aid road measures. A bill that
will find favor with some of the en
thuslasts Includes provision for a com
plete system of roadways, the work
to cover SO years and to involve the ex
pendtture of several million dollars.
The first county organization to be
formed will be In Washington County,
m call having been Issued for a meet
ing in Hillsboro Saturday afternoon.

Tourist Association Planned.
Efforts to organise a' Northwest
Tourist Association to Induce travelers
to come through Oregon and Washing
ton on their trips to the Coast will be
made at a meeting to be held at Ta
coma next Monday, which will be at
tended by railroad officials of this city.
William McMurray, general passenger
agent of the Harrlman lines, will rep
resent that road. The scheme Is fost
ered by the Tacoma Chamber of Com
merce.
for the Harrlman lines, on his return
lust night from Washington, D. C,
where he attended the hearing before
the National rate-making body.
"On account of Portland's position on
tidewater where the railroads are re
quired to meet ocean competition, the
only reasonable thing that the commis
sion can do Is to recognize the natural
superiority of this city over the in
terior towns and establish rates ac
cordingly. The rate to a point In
Eastern Oregon or Eastern Washington
should be no lower than It is to Port
land, but on the other hand the Port
land or terminal rate should be lower
than the rate to Interior points, even
though goods are hauled through those
points before reaching Portland.
Natural Advantage Supreme.
"In our contentions before the com
mission we argued that the Interior
rate should be the rate to the Coast
plus the lora.1 rate back. So long as
this city has the natural advantage of
oceun transportation Its position as a
distributing center will remain su
preme. We contended that it would
be unfair to the Coast cities to, give
the Interior points a rail rate equal to
that which this city enjoys by reason
of ocean competition. It would be diffi
cult for the railroads to adjust their
rates to meet the ocean competition
if the Coast rates were applied to
the Interior points.
"It Is impossible to forecast what
the commission's decision will be, how
ever. They have taken tho subject
under advisement and will not reach a
conclusion for three or four weeks,
and perhaps not for months."

Location at Corner of Tenth and

The Portland Women's Union has
bought from Miss Henrietta E. Fail
ing the quarter block at the southeast
corner of Tenth and Montgomery
streets for $25,000. This Is to be the
site for the home to be erected by the
union as soon as sufficient funds have
been raised. The purchase was made
possible by the gift of 15.000'by Mrs.
P. J. Mann, formerly president of the
union, the remainder being obtained
from other sources.
The location is regarded as especially
desirable for the purpose, as It Is with
in easy walking distance of the busi
ness center and is only a block from
the Eleventh-street carllne. The half
block between West Park and Tenth
streets' is occupied by a large frame residence.
"Some means for expansion of the
home maintained by the union Is urg
ently needed," said Miss M.'S. Barlow,
the secretary, last night. "During last
year we turned away more than 250
applicants for accommodations. Now
that a site has been obtained we shall
be able to give our attention to rais
ing funds for building. Doubtless this
subject will be 'discussed at the annual
meeting to be held next Monday, when
officers will be elected."

AUTO TRUCKS SUGGESTED
Rose Shower May Not Be Conducted
From Streetcars.
The Peninsula Rose Association may
decide to use auto-trucks for the rose
shower during the Rose Festival. The
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany has offered open cars, such as are
used In Summer for passenger traffic,
but has no flat cars, as had been asked
for. The flat cars are wanted, said the
committee, because they can be dec
orated to best advantage. The com
mittee on rose shower has been in
structed to investigate the auto-trucks.
It was reported by the committee on
queen contest that afrangements were
being made to open voting places at
all the principal points along the St.
Johns railway and also at St. Johns
and Kenton, and that local committees
would be appointed to make the ar
rangements. An effort will be made.
said the committee, to obtain two or
more candidates at each place, so that
the contest will be spirited. It was
reported that arrangements for the
depot rose booths had been completed.

AGATE BEARS DOG'S FACE
Dr. Haffety Presents Peculiar Find
to His Friend, H. S. Rowe.
Picture agate bearing a perfect face
of a bulldog was found a few weeks
ago on the river bank near the In-man-Poulsen
mill on the East Side by
Dr. Dav Raffety, who carved it to a
convenient size and polished it pre
paratory to mounting it on a scarf
pin, which he presented yesterday
morning to his friend H. S. Rowe,
general agent of the Milwaukee rail
road. The polish brings the head of
the dog Into more prominence and It
can be discerned distinctly at first
glance.
Dr. Raffety makes a practice of
gathering agate from the sands on
the Willamette River hanks and fre
quently has found picture agate of
remarkable formation. This, ho de
clares, Is the most peculiar that ever
has come to his notice.

ROOSEVELT
PLAN PLEASES
Community Advertising Finds Favor
With ex-President.
Theodore Roosevelt Is pleased with
tho Oregon method of community ad
vertising as practiced by William Mc
Murray, general passenger agent of the
Harrlman lines. In a letter received
by Mr. McMurray yesterday the Colonel
said:
"It was kind of you to see that I ob
alned a community case of literature
ind I thank you for your courtesy."
When he was In Portland Mr. Roose

driver who manages the lever. Not
withstanding the roughness of the field j
and the lack of facilities for starting.
the machine skimmed over the field
near the ground gracefully. Harry
Chrlstoffersen, brother of the builder.
said yesterday that great difficulties
had been experienced in finding a field
where test flights could be made, but
a search is now being made for a bet
ter field for that purpose and when It
Is found the machine will be moved.
"The machine will fly all right."
said Harry Chrlstoffersen, "but we
shall have to wait until we get a new
propeller from the-. East. The engine
is a zlne piece of : machinery and de
velops great power. It was built en
tirely by my brother and works well.
There Is nothing different from other
monoplanes about our machine, and
with th. new propeller and a better
field we can make some flights. Here
the ground is so rough that it disrupts
the tires on the wheels and endangers
the operation of the machine. Flying
machines will soonbe common every
where.
