FOR BETTER ROAD LAWS.
S
8tat. Association Committee to R.com
mtnd Bill to Legislature.
Salem. Aug. 19. In accordance with
a resolution adopted by the last meet
ing of the State Good Roads Associa
tion held In Portland last year, Pres
ident Scott, of the association, ha an
nounced the personnel of the legisla
tion committee, as mimed by him, the
purpose of which committee will be
to draft and ofTer to the state legisla
ture such legislation a Is deemed
necessary to the best Interests of the
good roads movement In this state.
The committee follows: M. A. Miller,
of Lebanon; C, J.mlth, of Pendleton;
W. W. Stelwer, of Fossil; J. H. Albert,
of Salem; M. A. Wert, of Grant's
Pass.
Among matters suggested to the
committee, to cover which It Is pre
sumed bills will be drafted for pre
sentation to the legislature, 1 the mat
ter of public road construction by con
vict labor, a subject which has been
agitated quite freely the past year. As
a result of the building of the road be
tween the penitentiary and asylum
farm, which is nearlng completion and
I considered one of the best roads in
the state, this is now thought quite
practicable.
Other prospective laws which the
committee will also probably draft is
one permitting the county courts to
condemn property for the purpose of
straightening out roads, and another
for the purpose of requiring petitioners
for the establishment of new roads to
pay the costs of survey and viewing.
President Scott anticipates a rousing
big convention this year, and that there
will be an attendance of several hun
dred delegates. Thecounty Judge and
commissioners of each county, the
mayor of every town or city, and the
supervisor of every road district in
th. state are considered ex-offlcio del
egates to the convention, besides the
county Judges and mayors are expect
ed to appoint delegations of 10 mem
bers. President Scott is urging the ad
visability of making a very extensive
good roads display at the state fair.
He thinks that all dealers in and man
ufacturers of road machinery should
make a special effort to place their
machinery upon display at the fair.
He says that one or both of the Marlon
county road rollers and rockcrusher
will be placed on exhibition, and that
It is quite probable. If arrangements
can be made, object lessons will be
given In building of permanent roads.

Liberia's Now President
The United States maintains a min
ister to Liberia. He Is Bev. Ernest
Lyon, a Baltimore man. The other
day. Minister Lyon reports, Liberia
solemnly inaugurated a new president
named Thomas Barclay. " Liberia's con
stitution is easy and permits the coun
try to be governed by people born upon
foreign soil. Barclay came to Liberia
In early childhood from Barbadoes, In
the West Indies, and even as an Infant
showed surprising ability In politics.
It Is told of Barclay that being with
his nurse and some other children near
his age one day, some candy was about
to be distributed, when It was discov
ered that there was one piece too few
to go round. Whereat Tommy Instant
ly had a magnanimous solution for the
problem. "Let the youngest be served
first," he said proudly, planting his lit
tle hand upon his Infant bosom. But
when the candy came to be attacked It
was discovered that by a calculation of
incredible rapidity Tommy had per
ceived that the youngest was himself.
Later on, when he had got to be sec
retary of state, he performed the re
markable feat of maintaining a balance
in the treasury of the republic. For the
probity and skill thus shown a grate
ful people made him president. And
it Is safe to say that Liberia is heart
ily and unanimously glad that Barclay
has the job. For while there are only
25,000 English speaking negroes in the
country, the rest of the population Is
composed of 1.500.000 native and sav
age African blacks. Still Liberia, as
little republics go. Is surprisingly well
ordered. For while numerically small,
the descendants of the original settlers
from the United States are still su
preme in power. Revolutions are com
paratively few and business booms.

Where Drunkards Are Designated.
