VanKleek Asks for In ner Side of Plan WHEKE WILL THEY FIRST START Wants Rock Koadt, bat ake fur aa Explanation The following letter anejit the rock road question, containing some in teresting comment on the same, is pub! iehed because it reveals a de sire for permanent road work and at the sime time poinU out the ob jections prevailing iu ruiny parte of the county. P-everton, Oregon, Route 3, Feb. 4. Kdilor Ar,;u: I notice you have a cou pon in the paper, aud I have bad quite a ood chance lo talk to aome ol tbe neighbors cloae here, and they nearly all think that the rock and new machinery, if purcliaed, will be used from llillsbo ro to fortland via iieaverton, and ai tbe people along the railway have that ou which to depend to do their shipping lo a certain ? xtent, and a we have no rail road and on the contrary have from 12 to mile to haul over, we do not feel we would be justified in signing lo levy ta and not vet to ue the machin ery or rock iu tin part o! the county but if the money t to I put back in tbe same road diktrict in which it is levied. I think that all the people here would sign. Hoping the matter can be ex plained o that every taxpayer can ee fit to sin for rock road, I remain, Your Truly, J J. VanKleek. Mr. VanKleek clearly shows that the people in his secion are unanimous for rock roads. It is juM a qution of w here, and when. This hold a true all over the county as to rock road sentiment It is not a question of immediate rock roads all 'over thn com ty. That can 1 ot le dune with an 'uimediate expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars. The idea at present, eo far as the Argus can learn, is to make a start on per manent rock road work. By ex pending from fifty to seventy-five thousand a year we could make a fine start All cannot have rock roads at once. The idea, as the A turn understands it, is to first rock tbe main thoroughfare through the county from East to West that is, from tbe Portland moun tain to Forest Grove. That would give us a rock road, then, from Portland clear to upper Gales Crnk, a distance of practically f rty miles. Then build the lat eral roads, connecting the Farm ing'on, Scbolls, Laurel, Sherwood, Kinton and Tiuardville; and the Gleiwoe, Greenville, Mountaindale and Gaston sections by lateral roads to the main center road. By an expenditure of $250,000 or $300,000, this could be done, and in five or six year? we could have roads second to none. Two years ago we fpeot fifty thousand dollars with no permanent results. Six years at $50,000 per year, or three years at $100,COO per year, would mean good rock thoroughfares all over the county, eo far as main roads are concerned. That is the idea, clearly presented. It is not a Hillshoro deal, at all, for rock! roads would mean more trade in Portland and less trade, doubtless in Hillshoro. This is going to be a great dairy county contingent, of course, upon good roads. Each! year we spend twenty live thousand dollars or so on the roads with no practical results. Ten years of this, with rock work, and it would mean $250,000 in rock roada, dou ble, or treble this, and we could have rock thoroughfares, all over the county, eo far as main roads are concerned and then we would have something for our tax and results that would be lasting, aud profitable, as well. This is tbe sit uation, as the Argus understands it. LUNCH AND COFFEE HOUSE Home style' lunches at all hours, from 10 cents up. Regular meals at regular meal hours during the week.
