Audience at Garfield.
GAKFJKLJJ, Wash., March 20. (Spe
cialsThe grooa- roads, meetings here
this afternoon and evening- were the
most successful ever held in Eastern
"Washington. Several' hundred farmers
and business men were In attendance,
iicpresentatlves were present from
Oakesdale. Kosalta, Pine City, Alber
ton. Hay, Palouse and Karmington.-
Samuel Hill, of Seattle, president of
the Ciood Roads Association ror the
State of Washington, was present and
spoke an hour in. the afternoon, hold
ing the closest attention and interest.
His talk was along educational lines,
lie advocated the need' of educating-young-
men to take practical charge of
road building, declaring that a course
In civil er.ginering- In Itself was in
sufficient. He explained the new- law providing
for rock quarries to be established
with machinery to crush the rock oper
ated by convjots. Four such quarries
are. to be established In different parts
of : the. etata. A rate of one cent a
mile has been secured from some of
the railroads for hauling rock from the
quarries. This means a 25-ton car 20
miles for $3. This will cheapen the
cost of material 60 to 75 per cent, and
enable more persons to bid' on rock
buildings, as expensive machinery will
not be needed by the contractor to fur
nish material.
An illustrated talk was given In the
evening by Professor Lancaster, of the
i-fiair of good roads of the State Uni--V6mU'-
State Railway Commissioner
.wrnc save some facts about cost
of hauling. . He stated the moving cost
of hauling freight on the Northern
Pacific in this state is an average of
4T.9S .mills per ton per mile. The rate

making for the upbuilding and develop
ment of the two states. Judge Stephen
A. Lowell, of Pendleton, president of the
congress, will preside and will speak con
cerning the plans and purposes of the
organization: Colonel E. Hofer, of Salem,
vice-president of the congress, will also
be among the speakers, as -will some of
the prominent members of the Marsh
field and North Bend Chambers of Com
merce. Big Delegations Expected.
Many towns throughout the two s'ates
are planning to send large delegations to
this meeting, and Ontario is planning to
entertain one of the largest meetings the
congress has yet held. Interest In this
body has been steadily growing during
the past several months and its influence
is b?i:is .widely extended throughout a:i
portions of Idaho and Oregon: especially
those portions which for lack of rail
road facilities and other means of deel
oplne their latent resources are today
endeavoring to find "the way out," The
principal object of the congress at this
time is the securing of a railroad from
Boise, Idaho, to Ontario, Or., and thence
across Central Ore-son to Coos Bay.
Delegates from all the territory along
the proposed new line will attend the
Ontario meeting and lend their best ef
forts to assure the realization of tho pur
pose of the congress.
Saturday Irrigation Day.
Saturday will be devoted to discus
sion of the Malheur Government irri
gation project. This is the subject
which for the past five months has
absorbed the entire attention of the
people of Malheur County, Oregon, and
Canyon County. Idaho, in which coun
ties five flourishing towns are sur
rounded by an Immense body of land
which is included within the project.
Two hundred thousand acres of the
best land in these two counties will
be watered by this project, and the
signing- Thursday of petitions to the
Reclamation Department by both the
Willammette Valley and Thd Dalles
road companies has cleared away ev
ery difficulty In the way of this proj
ect.. Tlie Government has already sig
nified its willingness to complete the
project if the -people and both road
companies signified a desire to have
It completed. All preliminary' surveys
nnd estimates have been made, and
the arrival this week of Carl Stradley,
of Salt Lake, chief locating engineer
of the Oregon Short Line and TTnion
Pacific, with a company of engineers,,
who will resurvey the proposed Ore
gon Eastern road through Malheur
County, in order to raise the grade of
the line away from the Government's
proposed Harper reservoir on Malheur
River, gives color to the belief that
work on. the project will be begun al
most immediately.
Railroad Hope Revived. 1
The circumstance of Mr. Stradley's
presence here and the new surveys on
the proposed railway also give rise to
a hope that the work of the develop
ment congress is seeing some results,
and that the Harriman Interests will
make some move to redeem their prom
ise of building this road within the
next year. All this opens bright pros
pects for Ontario, which town, by rea
son of her recent discoveries of un
limited quantities of natural gas. has
already become the objective point for
hundreds of investors and homeseek
ers. Hotel accomodations here have
been taxed for several weeks past, but
the town is making- every preparation
to entertain her. guests in a thorough
ly hospitable manner. Homes will be
thrown-open all over town for the re
ception of the visitors, and Ontario
expects to have 500 out-of-town people
here during the sessions of the congress.
