'The state roads in Washington are built at state expense. The state aid , roads are Vutlt by the state, the county paying ontvhalf of the .cost. The pcti- tton state aid roaas are uuui oy ino state, which Py one-haJJf the cost, the . county it pf cent and the petitioners It per cent. In the local improvement districts the property benef.ted pays the entire cost . Mr. Hill is vry enthusiastic over tha use of convict labor on the- roads. In ' one of the camps now In operation -in the state of M'aBhington, the cost of feeding, transporting, clothing, guarding and housing the convicts amounts to 60 cents per man per day. And the labor performed by -the convicts after the first month's work is nulte as effective as that of the laborer who gets I . 60 per day. , The appearance of the tnon at the close of the season "When ;they are tanned and brown and with' a healthful glow is in striking contrast to their appearance when they begin the Bummer's work. In examining the convict caonps. Mr. Hill found that they were quite as well cared for as in the ordinary grader's camp. An"d among the convicts the op portunity to work out doors is regarded as a reward of merit. The railroads In the state of Washington have signified their willingness to trantjport this crushed rock for roadbuildtnjf purposes practically at cost. v. - S- Railroads WU1.

McMurray and other offlciaJs of - the O R. & N. road had shown their in terest In the work some years ago when they brought the government - train which built the mile of road at Pen dleton and the sample mile at Salem from Portland to thos points, and he believed that if a strong organization were effected In Oregon that all of the large interests' would cooperate. He spoke in praise of the work undertaken bv Judge Scott of Salem And Judge Webster of Portland, in arouclng Inter est In the matter of road building. The press of Washington. Mr. Hill said, had uniformly assisted In all ways In helping along the' road movement and he desired again to take the oppor tunity of thanking The Journal, the Oregonlan and the other papers for the assistance they had rendered the move ment.' ile-SpOK OI l8 jaci. i,un.v iiicnc papers rr rr J in m.uthrrn and east ern waaliliiKiun.
