Such Is Order ot Benefits to
Country Says Professor
Parks, of Oregon Agricultur
al College.'
. "Good roads; good farms, rood peo
ple that," said Professor H. M. Parks
of the Oregon Agricultural college yes
terday, "Is the order, in which benefits
to the country come. , t never find good
farms unless good roads have first been
, built, and I always find the people much
like the country. You can provide the
richest kind of noil and the finest kind
of ; opportunities, ; yet If the roads -are
not good; the country will appear run
. down Jand the people shiftless."
1 Professor Parks spent a few hours In
Portland yesterday. , In behalf of the
campaign for better built highways, he
Is making close examination of the road
' building, material naturally possessed
by all the counties of western Oregon.
He has already been over Marion, Tilla
mook and Linn counties. Lane, Multno
mah Clackamas? Tamhlll, Washington,
Pollc and Benton -counties will next be
visited. The southern Oregon coun
ties,, Douglas, .Josephine and Jackson,
will be investigated laex in the list

"I found a wholesome enthusiasm In
favor of good, roads wherever I went,"
said Professor Parks. :"Tha progressive
: people reaUze that a well developed
country rwlthout permanently con
structed roads Is impossible. ' The roads
in Linn county . I found worst of all, yet
there is a Strong road building senti
ment whlch promises a transformation
in the near future.
"My work is to locate the places where
road building material may be had. I
find a fine quality of basaltic rock gen
erally scattered through the foothills
and comparatively easy-of access from
any -part of the county. The coarse
"gravel of the river bed Is also of ba
saltic nature, and is fine for roads, pro
viding it is crushed. I have been able
to find quarries where road building rock
may. be obtained that no one knew of.
This was particularly the case in the
r- northern part of Marion county, where
I found basalt that none knew existed.
, "There Is first class road building ma
terial sufficient Jn western Oregon to
construct the finest system of roads in
the United States. No Investment wMl be
more immediately profitable to the peo
ple than the immediate building of good
roads."
r French at VTotX, .
In order that the work which he has
fanned for-may be carried to a suc
cessful conclusion within -three months
. Professor Parks has appointed his as
sistant, 8. W. French, to examine part
of, the counties while he travels over
the remainder. The expenses are being
paid by the business men of the county
Jn. which he happens to be making inves-
rations. He exoects in three months
to issue a bulletin stating Just where In.
each ; county . road building materials
' may be obtained, in what amounts, and
what will be the cost of transportation.
The explanations will be accompanied

Leader Like Dqlliver or Bris
; .tow Would Make State Po
tential Force in Nation.
Detroit. Mich..' Aug. 20.-There is ln-
surgency in - Republican Michigan, ln-
surgenoy which blindly la seeking a way
te register its will. ' - - , . '
It is not dominant In the lake state,
as In Iowa and Kansas, largely because
It has no such leader as Dolliver, or
Cummins, or Brlstow. But it Is a great
'potential force, which will manifest its
presence, in national and. state politics
and which needs only a leader to wield
a significant Influence upon the destiny
of the state and party.
Withal, it is a discriminating insurg-
- ency, not attacking standpat office hold
ers because of their support of or alli
ance with Cannon and other "Isms"
charged against the regular wing of the
party, but picking out from among them
' men whose records show honesty and
integrity such men. for instance, as
Deiiby of Detroit and Hamilton of Nlles
-and opposing almost generally any
suggestion to prevent their return to
congress. . -r
- Michigan Insurgency Defined.
Insurgency in Michigan resembles in
surgency in every other middle western
state. It differs in one or two respects
and In volume, but the average intelli-
gent voter with such a political tend
' ency will express here practically the
' same view as a man of equal Intelli
gence and like tendency in Indiana,'
"Iowa or Kansas.
' - In the goutli there Is nore complaint
about the tariff and the high cost of
- living than there Is In the cfititrsl part
nf the state and In the uppT peninsula.
But everywhere there In the feeling that
. President Taft failed to make good on
the tariff, irrespective of the. results of
the, operation of the Aldrich law, which
hava been dinned into the ears cf thi
voters of the state, arid there is dissat
isfaction with the way in which the
tariff laws have been made.
. ,. In a word, the feeling is to a large
extent that "the interests" and not the
people nave been the chief beneflclariea
from the method heretofore observed of
enacting tariff legislation, and a change
Is wanted.
