DENNIS INTERESTED IN OUR .ROAD SCHEMES Hon. W. B. Dennis and wife of Carl ton, Yamhill County, Oregon, were gutsta of the Abbey for several days the early part of th,ls weok. Mr. Den nis was a member of the lower house Of the Legislature durlnsr thn 1919. 1S20 sessions, and was Chairman of the Roads and Highways Committee. He was the central figure of the big road fight of the 1919 session end is generally credited with having had more Influence upon State road legis lation during tho last three year3 than any other one man in the State. The laws under which tho present big road program of the otat Is being conducted Is largely due to his far sighted and constructive statesman ship. His reputation as an e..pert In road matiers is such that during the 1921 session of tho legislature, al though not a member, he was re quested by the Joint road committees of the House and Senate to prepare the 1921 law lor motor vehicle licenses and truck regulation, and was the author of the new law which went Into effect a few days ago. Mr. Dennis his always been greatly interested In Lincoln County roads, and has. been e-tremely helpful to the local road committees. He believes that Lincoln Ceunty. has greater po tential commt. lal possibilities than tny other County of the State, and that the construction of a proper road system is tho touchstone of a commer cial and rural development ihat the most sanguine Lincoln County booster has never dreamed of. "Permanent roads" and "Connected with the great system of State roads" is Mr. Dennis' hobby. "Don't build make shifts" said Mr. Dennis at the Abbey yesterday. "If you want to do business you must get your store on the main street. You must connect up Lincoln County, North, South, and East with the great road system of the State, or in other words get Into the State band wagon. When that Is ili ne then turn your whole attention and might to improving the Market roads fnto every rural valley and dis trict. "Lincoln County has some wonderful road boosters, I take off my hat to them" said Mr. Dennis, "and I don't understand how they pulled off such a Wonderful stunt. Of course you know what the law Is" said he, "The law says that the counties must at their own expense prepare tho road bods, do all the grading and build - the bridges and culverts, and that then the state will rock or hard surface the roads. That's ail the slate is supposed I to do, thai', is uil they have dona in my own County of Yamhill, and in every county in the state, with the ex ception of two or three especially ex empted in the law itself, why In Yam hill the counts has paid every dollar of the cost of giading, bridges and culverts and some of It was mighty expensive. But it seems that you people here in Lincoln county have succeeded in making a contract with the State Highway Commission, for the State not only to do the rocking but also to pay s(xty per cent of the cost of grading of your main highway out to Corvallis, Its marvellous: it's surely the golden opportunity that knocks but once. Lincoln County should tumble over itself to grab it. Let me say to you right hero" said Mr. Dennis with strong emphasis, "you are the most favored County in Uie State, and I think I know what I am talking about, and such a chance as that will never come to you again, if by any hook or crook your voters Bhould happen to turn it down, but of course I cannot concleve of such a thing being possible.'1 "You ought to pass your bond issue with a ninety per cent, vote, but you wont do it unless every man and woman voter feels It to be their solemn duty to get out to the poles on Election Day. "The State Highway Commission has certainly boen your friend. Keep them your friends. Work with, them and al?o with your fine County Court, and never against them, it pays, I know from'experience. Back them up to thn limit. No state In the Union has ever been blessed with a higher grade State Board than the three men who compose our State Highway Com mission. You couldn't hire one of them for a Balary of f5O.0UO.0O a year. They are giving their services without a dollar ofjay. They are doing the square thlug with every part of tho State. They have certainly been gen erous to Lincoln County." , BURNT WOODS A pie social was held at Mr. Harm ston's Friday nighi. tor the benefit of the baseball team. A nice crowd several pics and a good time make a good combination.
