FAVORS A SESSION
TO
LIMITED
ROADS
Hood River County Court De
sires County Bonding Act
in Effect at Once.
(Special to The Jounl.)
Hood River, Or., -July 28. The Hood
River county court stands aa a unit in
favor of an extra session of the legin
lature for securing Immediate legisla
tion for good roana purposes. Judge
Culbertson and Commissioners McCurdy
and. Rhodes are unalterably opposed to
an extra session If any other matter la
to be brought to the attention of the
legislature. Judga Culbertson stated
today that he thought It would be
, great benefit to pass a law at onca
permitting the counties that desired to
do so to bond for good roads, as this
would give them a whole year In ad
vance of any legislation that might ba
ecured through the initiative and ret
trendum. The members of the county
court think better legislation could be
ecured for the good roads movement
t a special session of the legislature
where this was made the sole order of
business. It Is feared that the good
roads movement would suffer again at
a regular session on account of the
, large amount of "swapping" and trading
usually aone.
, . Hood River stands preeminently for
rood roads, and the county Is anxious
for the county bonding act to oass.
The county 1s sorely In need of a new
court house building, but there will be
nothing dona in this line until the roads
of the valley are in the best possible
nape.

Co. of The Dalles, who were awarded
the contract for the Hood River street

SET MATCH TO GARBAGE
DUMP, SAYS DR. WHITE
- measure of protection to the
city, the garbage dump at Guild's lake
ought to be set on fire and ' burned
until the corruption Is all burned out of
It." declared Dr. Calvin S. White, state
health officer, after returning from a
second inspection of the dump and the
city's present method of disposing of
garbage.
He found that an effort Is belnsr mad
to burn from 60 to 80 tons of refuse
daily in the old crematory that was
built for 26 tons dally. The stuff was
piled above the furnaces, had an In
describably sickening odor and was cov
ered with files, said Dr. White. -
The dump was heaped with stable
weepings and paper and magazines. Dr.
White called attention not only to the
unsanitary methods of disposing of gar
bage within the city limits, pending the
refusal or acceptance of the new cre
matory, but he epoke of the great waste.
"While the dump Is burning," said
Dr. White. "I would prevent any more
tuff being put there. The objection
that the people living thereabouts would
pe smuaaeo rrom tneir nomes is .not
well taken. The people would be the
better for the smoke, and, -there would
be very much less menaqa than from
uie nies and the rats.
Dr. White said he knew of no other
city the size of Portland that " under
takes to dispose of Its garbage within
the city limits. He said it would be
far better to carry it away on barges
far beyond the city, thus removing
great danger of Infection. He added
that the foundation "of a fortune could
be found In the sorting over of mate
rials now wasted. Ho expressed a oon
vtctlon that If there Is no market for
this sort of thing, fhere is something
wrong with the city commercial con
dition, since fertilizer, grease, paper and
. metal are used In great quantities here.
