COUNTY NEWS
News of each Community Gathered eacli
week by Our Rustling Associate Editors
Newport
The delegation selected by the
Warren Brothers Construction com
pany visited Portland last week for
tie puprose of studying and in
vestigating the different styles of
building hard surface roads, as
d.'munotrated by that company.
The delegation were the guests of
the company at the Vincent, one of
the finest hotels in Portland. The
names of the parties who were
honored with this invitation are,
M. L. Scits. merchant, County Com
missioner Wm. Wakefield and wife,
County Commissioner Claus Lude
mar.n and wife, Dr. Linton, physi
cian, and wife, Z. M. Derrick,
county surveyor, Road Master
Beczlcy, County Judge Fogarty,
Jim Rcss. ex-sheriff, Wm. Mat
thews, editor News. C. V. Averiil,
editor Signal, Walter Hall, mer
chant. S. T. Plant, private citizen,
and Edward Stacker, Sr., candidate
for county commissioner. This
selected delegation, on arriving in
Portland, was taken in automobiles
to the VincenJ and every courtesy
shown them. The next day the
party was taken inuutosand driven
to every part of interest in the city
and even into the state of Wash
ington to study the roads of that
section. After an elegantly served
sjpner they were taken to the
Buffalo Bill circus and the theatres.
The most costly hard surface roads
the kind the company favors is
the bithulitic and the least costly is
the macadam or crushed rock road.
T.ie firmer will cost from $12,000
to $15,000 per mile and the latter
from $3,000 to $4,000 per mile
Of course the bithulitic style is too
costly for Lincoln county, though it
makes a nice, smooth surface, cs
pecially adapted for automobile
travel, but too slick and slippery
for horse and wagon travel in
hilly country. 1 don't believe the
people, after looking the matter
over carefully will vote to bond the
county to build any kind of road at
this staao of our development.
The delegation had a must delight
ful time (all expenses were paid by
tV coniDony) and came home well
Satisfied with the trip.
