The Foard & Stokes Hardware Co. Everyone who has gone out over the uincy roaa during the lummcr months speak of it in terms of the highest praise. The thoroughfare Is smooth and hard, and traveling over it is a pleasure instead of the hard ship that it is to go over many of the rough country roads. Many, too, be gin now to appreciate the beauties of the winding country road as it cuts its way through the deep green for ests, for with comfort and ease in traveling comes the opportunity to observe the beauties of the things that lie along the highways. On Sunday Ceorge W. Lsunsbcrry, accompanied by his family, drove out over the road to Olncy, thence over the old road to the north fork of the Clatskanic, and there the party struck a piece of the new Nehalem road, which is also in very fine condition, After returning to Olney via the Nchalcm road, the party drove to Young; River falls, where they had luncheon, and then drove across Tucker creek to the Lewis aad Clark, and came home via the Lewis and Clark road. Mr. Lounsbcrry says the trip was interesting every bit of the way. "The roads are a credit to the mem bers of the county court and to Clat sop county," he said, "and 'too much can hardly be said in this praise." Mr, Lounsbcrry said that apparently there had been an abundant hay crop, as at various places the barns were filled with hay and there were also big stacks alongside the barns or else left out in the fields. Just what the influence of the mag nificent roads in Clatsop county will be remains to be seen, yet they will have ft tendency towards developing and enriching the country through which they run may be taken as al most certain. Already there are abundant indications of the influence of the good roads, first of all to be seen in the immediate betterment' of farms and farm houses. New lands are being cleared and soon there are sure to be many new homes springing up along the new roads. That bad roads ruin and kilt the farming has been demonstrated so many times that it hardly needs further illustration, and yet if it did, most excellent illustra tion can be given of bad roads and abandoned farms and farm houses right in Clatsop county. The sugges tion is also made and it seems one of more than passing worth that the Chamber of Commerce shotild lend its efforts to endeavor to aid in building up the country along the good roads by diverting newcomers in that dircc tion and in other similar ways. Good roads arc an absolute necessity in this county, as in every country where there is a great rainfall, but it seems quite wonderful to contemplate how the whole situation is brightened and bettered by the mere fact of having good roads. A dozen examples of this could easily be given, and first of all they make country life not only en durable bu pleasurable; while bad roads make country life a burden to the farmers during the bad seasons. Mr. Lounsbcrry also said: "It strikes me that if there were some ob jective point out that way, say at the falls, where parties "could drive to, it would prove an excellent thing. Now there is really no place to go, when you get there. If there was a pavilion, perhaps, or a place for refreshments for man and beast, it might help things along. Of course it must be a nice place or the whole object of it would fail," There really sems to be a need of an objective point of the kind sug gested by Mr. Lounsberry, and per haps if someone were to establish i nice, cosy, little place out at the tails, or at some other pretty spot, it might prove a profitable venture, But if it were to degenerate into merely a CO m m ralEi alls i m H m 1 tie igfFiire Is attracting thousands from far and near Don't you hesitate to come.
