Charles Larsen, president rf the Club gave us a good talk along the lines of encouraging the commun ity spirit, of the splendid order that prevailed, and the great interest taken by the community in attending nd taking part in these meetings. A nice luncheon was served by the ladles and the proceeds from the lunch which was about $20 wlll.be used for the benefit of the Club. The membership now Is about 50 with the number increasing at every meeting. Some land sales have been made during the week which will change matters somewhat In our citizenship. Joe Dowd has sold his fine farm con sisting of 80 acres of level land, moat of it cleared, to Joe Kosydar, con sideration $5,500. Mr. Dowd will move to Grand Ronde, the place front whence he came several years ago. Mr. Kosydar will proceed at once to Improve the farm and make ii one of the best In the county. 8ome twenty years ago Joe Kosydar came to Si letz without a dollar. Took the mall contract from here to Taft and for several yerst carried the mail on foot. This chows what a man ot energy and business push can do. He now has 320 acres of as fine land as can be found anywhere. He has a large family and everyone of the children that are old enough work. You find no Idlers In the family. The children are kept in school during the school year but work nights and mornlpgs and at other times when out of school. Maurice Andersen has 'sold his farm near the Agency to Al Taylor, who already has ten acres where he lives and this new purchase will give nlm a farm of 60 acres nicely lo cated right In the heart of tfee Siletz Valley. The , price is said to be $6,000. Mr. Andersen will probably purchase other property near the Agency. We can ill afford to lose such families. We want them to stay here for Slletz has a bright future and time will bring It out. ' Jack Morgan the timber baron vis ited Siletz for a few days looking after his interests here. He owns the Stempel place on the Siletz river. This place Is located where the wagon road and the boats that ply on the river meet. This will be an import ant station some day. If the road was rocked and finished up from Euchre Mountain to the Stempel land ing it would open up a good road and waterway from Siletz to Taft. This ought to be done as soon as posslbl. Then by completing the Market road from Siletz to Toledo a good way would be opened up to get to the county seat as well as to connect with the railroad and the Corvallis-New-port highway and would permit com munication with the outside world both by water and land.

FRED HORNING SAYS COM MISSION HAS RIGHT IDEA In discussing the plans and specifi cations for rocking the Newport-Toledo section of the highway, Fred Horning 'hlnka that the plan of UBing fine-size rock, as provided by the High way Commission, will be the real way to build a road. According to the speclflcatioas, all broken stone shall be crushed to a minimum size of one and one-half Inches, at least 76 and not more 'than 90 shall be retained on a one fourth inch screen, and shall be well graded from coarse to fine. These material are put down in two layers, the coarse firs' and finished with the fine. The road Is to be eight Inches thick and twelve feet wide". This means that we will not always run In the same track and form a rut, and furthermore, with the abundant main tenance material provided, it will be an easy proposition to throw in a little additional surfacing and drag the roads to smooth It up in the win ter time. . , STATE ALREADY PROVID ING" ROAD MAINTENANCE II is one thing to build a road In Lincoln County and another thing to maintain It. That this fact Is being realized fully by the State Highway Commission In planning the Newport Corvallis road Is positively proven in tho plans for tho rocking of the road from Corvallis to Newport and the 7 2-10 mile Turn Turn section. Here are some figures taken from t)io pro posals for state highway construction of the Corvallls-NewDort hlehwav. These bids will be received by the Highway Commission on May 26th. 1921. As both sections ure practically the same leneth the Quantities are Identical. The bid quantities on the Newport-Toledo surfacing are na tni. lows, quantity being in cubic yards: .item No. Item Quantity 27 Broken stone surfacing 12,000yds )!! U.nlrnn .. t M 28 Broken stone for main- tenance 1.350 vds On page 6 of the specifications an- 'pears the following: "Broken Stone for Maintenance: 'Under this Item, the contractor will be required to construct dIIrh of main. tenance materials. These piles shall be placed at intervals of annrovl. ;mately seven cubic yards of material each. Each phe shall be composed ol material fully meeting the specific Hons for either the top course or the base course of the surfacing as mav be ordered by the engineer." Remember that, according to a lot- earlier published in the Lsader, after 'April 1st, the State takes over and maintains all cooperative county state highways. Therefore, it must be clear to all that the maintenance on 'this road is being paid for by the piles of rock, seven cubic yards of roik every i00 feet along tho road. Certainly these quantities will fill a of ruts at d fi'l Hicm n ;j8 riKi,t '''e. that 13, when hrst nia:lu. WALDPORT" TEACHERS ' CHOSEN Waldport, Or., May 10. (Ssecial.)

Remember a day's labor and a ton of material costs as much for a tem porary road as for an enduring mac adam road. A temporary road Is a liability. The macadam road is main tained at State expense If constructed with the approval of the State High way Commission and therefore Is a dividend paying asset. o Mrs. Roy Mills went out to Corvallis the first of the week to be with her Jiusband.

' Every community In the United States is talking about good roads aud will have to provide them sooner or later. Why not NowT Good Roads meun Progress, for they are not Just routes of travel but; rather arteries of commerce, they are of more Importance to Lincoln County than railroads. During the railway strike of 1919 in England it was their good roads that saved the Interior communities from actual, starvation, if we had a railway strike where would Lincoln Couuty be from November to Maj with our present road system. A Good road Is always a bargain whatever we put into them will ro turn with compound Interest. We may pay more for roads than we think we ought., but we shall pay less thau ihey are worth to the people. Our definition, '"of what Is a good road." A good road Is one which Is always ready and safe for all kinds ol traffic and that means a macadam road, kept ready for all time, at State expense. Everything you ent, wear, use, buy, 'sell, or play with, has to be hauled over a road at some s'.age of produc tion or distribution. Bad roads throttle distribution. Good roads faclllate distribution and add to the social life of any community. A progressive community must have good roads. A common sense study of the proposed road plan adopted by the Highway Commission for Lin coln will prove to you that at last we are on the right track to secure good roads.
