Samuel Hill. president of th Amer-j
lean. Highway association, has pre
pared a good roads primer, especially
for tb school children of Portland and
Oregon, because of Good Roads day,
April 25. It will be circulated through
out the schools of Oregon, will serve
as a permanent text book and will be
given the indorsement both of State
Superintendent 3. A. Churchill and City
Superintendent L. R. Alderman.
Tbe primer Is titled "Roads What
they are, how to get them, how to keep
them," and reads as follows:
The humnn race requires food, cloth
ing and shelter. Transportation is get
ting" the mouth to the rood, or the food
to the mouth. How many things which
we eat, drink and wear are there which
do not come over a road? Few houses
there are whose material Is taken from
the ground on which the building
stands.
Water Was Tirst Transportation.
The first transportation we know
about Was on water; it was conducted
by a can tain named Noah. 'on a ship
called the Ark. Noah limited the num
ber of his passengers and what they
could carry.
.Land transportation -camels cross

dog trains moving over th snow In
Alaska, reindeer sledges in Lapland,

team Revolutionised World,
Under DeWitt Clinton, canals and
waterways. in the United States were
started. Henry Clay favored the turn-
?lkea. The Invention of steam revolu
lonlxed the world, and the United
States passed from retail to wholesale,
from straggling colonies to great
states, by reason of the adaptation of
steam to land haulage orf rails. The
school teacher, the country editor and
the railroads made possible .what civ
ilisation we have today. 1 i-
Someone said: "God made the coun
try, man made the towns." R. H.
Thomson said three things make cities
bread, water and drainage. James
J. Hill said: "Population without land
Is a mob; land without population Is a
wilderness."
Xverythlnr Xs Troduct of labor.
"Unless the United States can change
the current of Its population from the
cities to the land, its form of govern
ment will not endure. Cities create no
essentials; they do foster luxuries. To
?ut people on the land and keep thero
here, they must have good roads, good
telephone service, good rural free de
livery, good schools, and then find a
paying market for their products.
C. if. Jackson, under the caption. "So
cial Thieves," says: .
"Everything used Is the product of
labor; if your work shows a deficit in
ministering to the wants of others, you
- are a social thief."
No plant, no nation can live whose
roots are not in the soil.
Land roads, water roads, steam
roads, air roads are a way to move
you and your property from place to
place. Telegraph companies are a
way to transmit your thoughts, tele
phone companies your words.
Bottom Xs Most Important
Land roads are built on the ground.
The bottom of the road is the most
Important part of It. If the bottom
falls out Of a bucket, the bucket Is of
no value. If the bottom falls out of a
road, the roads Is of no value. The
foundation of all roads should be
brains, that Is intelligence.
Road making is a business all by
Itself; It is more difficult than making
watches, yet every man thinks he Is a
natural born road builder. John F.
Stevens says he doubts If in all Amer
ica there are ten men competent to
butld a road.
The first thing rn a road,then. Is the
bottom. The next thing to remember
In that the road Is a tight roof over a
,drv cellar. The road must be kent drv.
The next thing to remember is that
you must use the material nearest at
hand to build your road. Tou must re
. member that during your lifetime 80
per cent of all the roads In America
will be earth roads.

fall; a road over a hill Is a roadr that
passes over the ball while in your
hand, a road -around the hill passes
over tbe bail when it lies at the side
of the bucket. The bail Is the same
length in each case; so Is tbe road.
lld you ver see a path cross a i
field In a straight line in your life!
Can you walk a crack for a mile and .
not get tired. A horse, a man, a chauf.
leur naa to ; rest nis muscles, rut him
on a straight road he will not go in a
straight line; he will weave back and
forth across the road. The tracks of
the man, the wagon and the automobile
all show this. Each will go farther In
a day over a road that is not level than
they will on a level road; it rests their
muscles.
rive Per Cent Orada Enough.
Practical experience has shown that
no road should be over 6 per cent gra
dient. There are 5280 feet In a mile,
1 per cent lis a rise of 62.8 feet in a
mile. 6 per cent 264 feet rise In each
mile; therefore in going a mile on u
6 per cent gradient, at the end of the
mile you are 264 feet higher than at
the beginning! of the mile. If one
horse will pull a ton on a level road. It
will take nine horses to pull a ton on
a IS per cent grade. r
The all important thing in road
building is never move a rock or shov
elful of earth until you know where it
goes. This is done by 'longitudinal
and vertical curvature; that means
do not go straight ahead, curve to the
right and left, and go over your hill
on a curve. The action of the horses'
hoof and the wheel on the road Is like
the action of a hammer on an anvil,
only the wheel and the hoof never
stop day or night.
Koads Must Have Covering;.
There must be -a covering on the
road to resist the blow of the hoof and
the wheel. You have got the dry bot
tom to your road: you have got tne
culverts and the bridges to take the
water away you have got an eartn
surface.
In wet weather when the wheel goes
over this earth surface, it cuts into
ruts; then you must take the King
split loa drasr and bo over tbe road
Just at tbe end of a rain and drag it
so as to hold the fine particles and
pack the top of the road and leave
uie Buriace smooth.
If you do atiat. after a while you will
wedge the fine particles together and
have a good earth surface. Then it
will cut up again -with the next rain,
and in a dry country, dust as well will
come; your hoof and your . wheel do
this. The automobile comes along and
picks up the dust and it is blown
away; in wet weather the automobile
wneel ruts the road.
Wearing Surfaces Described.
Some kind of a wearing surface is
desirable in city strets and on country
roaas where tratiic is heavy, in Hoi
land they use brick; in the state of
Ohio they use brick. In Holland tbe
horses are great big horses, and they
drag their feet; they pull heavy loads;
they never trot. In America the farm
er uses a horse that weighs about 1200
pounds; he trots with a knee action;
sometimes ha gets lame becauae the
brick don't spring back as- the earth
does when his foot strikes It. If you
want to use a big word, you say brick
and concrete t-re not resilient.
In England they are laying for their
roada a piece of concrete nine inches
thick; this costs money. When .the
concrete breaks or is taken up to dig
a ditch or trench It is hard to put
back. England is using the Tarmao
road and the Pitchmac road. The same
type of road is used in America by
mixing asphaltio oils and hard rock;
properly mixed and properly laid, this
makes an elastic and durable road.
Never use rock which turns to dust
and blows away. ;
Koads Are of Three Types,
Roads, therefore, are of three tpyes;
mud road properly drained, crowned
and rolled: your gravel road properly
drained and crowned and thoroughly
compacted, and a hard surface road.

If you can afford concrete, out con

Now the Question comes how to get
the money to do this.- I only know of
three ways to get money: first, is to
have It given to you; second, to borrow
it Dy giving a note, tne note oi in
state or city or tne town or county is
called a bond: tne tnira way is to tax
an your property, real ana personal.
ana spend the money Duiiainz roaas.
xne ooiection to tins metnoa is mat
you cannot make the tax large enough
to build much road at one time, and
the pieces you build wear out before
you get the road finished. There is an
other way to build roads; that is by
utilizing the prisoners In tbe peni
tentiary, xnis aoes two mines, it
builds roads for the community and it
builds men or tne convicts.
Solution for Convict Question,
Out at honest work In the open air
they get strong, become self support
ing- and take the Duruen or tneir sup
port and that of their families off the
community. They in no sense inter
rere with tbe co called rree labor.
William Allan Plnkerton aaid the
only solution of the convict question
was to put them on the roads. Pat
Crowe, who 'kidnaped the Cudahy boy
lor ransom, tola m tne same mine.
Do not iooa on convicts-as a ooay or
people separata from yourselves. They
are part and parcel of the product
which our civilization makes. There
should not be any waste products;
everything should be utilized. So the
labor or the convicts should Da utilized
for the benefit of the community whose
laws they have broken, ror themselves
tnat tney may oecome gooa ana pro
ductiva citizens again.
When the road is built, tne man in
town at the workshop and at the fao-
torv can buy nis food ror less money
because tne larmer can naui it cneaper.
The man in town always pays tne
largest share of the bill, because he
has to eat and does not raise it. The
man on the farm can raise what is
necessary for him to eat.
Market Za Uke Bridge.
A market In town Is like a bridge, it
is a part or tne roaa. KememDer, it is
on a road from the time the food
leaves the field until it gets to thu
mouth. The road begins at the farm
house door. It goes into the town, it
oes to tne market it goes to tn
itchen. and it goes to the table. The
failure to provide the kitchen, or the
maricet or tne roaa prevents tne iooa
from getting to the mouth. The roads.
the bridges, the markets should all be
long to tne puDiic. JNODoay snouia
have a right to charge a toll over a
bridge, a toll over a road, or levy
ton on tne iooa in tne maraet nouse.
One body of men builds the roads.
another body uses them. The user
is just as careless oftimes as the
builder. The tima may come when ar
examination will be reauired of a man
before he is allowed to use a road. If
he drives in one track on any road,
earth or hard surfaced, he will wear it
out. If the road is nroDerlv crowned
so as to enable him to drive safely over
a wider portion of the road, he can use
the entire road ana multiply the ure or
it many times. Every time you see a
man driving in one traca, put him
down as a heedless and careless man.
Remember, civilization means the
linking of people together. The pre
amble to the constitution of the United
States closes with the words: "To
?rovld for the common defense, and
last of all) to oromote the general
welfare." That means the welfare of
everybody; that means to respect the
rights or every one. and there is grow
ing in th public mind, and especially in
Oregon, the belief in a new religion.
tne religion or service, service to one'
state, service to one's country, and
service to manaina.

The, Inhabitants won't let one inside

St. Paul, Marion county Oregon, Sb
miles up the Willamette river from
Portland, is undertaking the Job of ex
panding into a city with suburban
trimmings without paying 10 per cent
commission. A real estate ..dealer is
about as welcome in St. Paul as an
epidemic of measles.
The Inhabitants of the town with
the saintly name are blessed with com
modious minds for the storage of large
Quantities of common sense, and they
have figured out a land promotion
scheme in which the real estater is a
minus quantity.
St. Paul is a village in the center of
25,000 acre tract oTrich land. Dur
ing the years when Oregon and the
Willamette valley were playing leap
frog with prosperity, St. Paul people
were content to be let alone. , From
the middle of the nineteenth century
Until 1913 they were thoroughly etS-
gaged in keeping still. It didn't hurt
their feelings a bit to be forgotten by
their contemporaries. St. Paulltea
knew that their day would come, and
they were waiters.
Located six miles east of Newberg
and the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
railway, and six miles west of Broad-
acres and the Oregon Electric, the "St
Paul country" went on raising Its
2,000,000 pounds of hops in its 2000
acres of hopyards. pulling money fTom'
prune trees, shipping cream from the
big clover backed dairy .farms, pro
ducing a few trains of hogs for the
Portland markets each year, and was
content in Its pursuit of happiness.
Then Cornea the Stimulus,
Then something happened. It was
sort of bank burglary. A young
fellow named Alois Keber drifted into
St Paul, started a bank, and burglar
ized the town of its solitude. He saw
the lay of the land, and put ambition
and starch, hope, vinegar and a few
other ingredients into the citizenry,
and St. Paul began to take an interest
In the world.
It was found that the original set
tlers still owned the land, and that the
type of speculator who makes a busi
ness of buying land for less than It
Is actually worth and tripling bis
money on the Installment plan had
overlooked a fine bet around St : Paul.
Forty-two merchants, firms and
farmers of the St Paul country organ
lzed themselves into a Commercial
ciud, nirea a secretary ana began a
canvass of the farm lands of the dis
trict that were for sale.
So few farmers wanted to get out
of the country that it became neces
sary to persuade some land owners to
part with small portions of their hold
ings, and in many instances they were
induced to offer tracts of 40 and 80
aeres, segments from their paying and
improved fields, for sale. The secre
tary of' the club listed the lands, and
then a commitee from the club made
an examination or them and rixed a
price at which each tract would be of

told by Arthur H. Devers of the cham

mittee before the Progressive Business
Men's club last Thursday. Mr. Devers
urged citizens' support of- the Portland-Alaska
Steamship line. He said:
"One of the greatest fish food sup
plies that the world has ever known
is being opened in the waters of the
North Pacific ocean. A major portion
of the catch of this fish is made in
the waters of British Columbia and off
the Alaskan Coast I believe It is
conceded that the .enormous coast line'

The Beginning' of St. Paul.
EJtlenne Lucier thought it a mighty
pleasant place to stop when. In 1830,
he left his land at Vancouver, Wash.,
journeyed up the Willamette and an
chored his canoe where Mission Land
ing was eventually builded. Joseph
Gervais and Louis La Bonte followed
the next year and these three Induced

"I want to suggest in the form of
dry figures, some of the totals In
weight that are now brought annually
from the waters of Alaska. I will take
one year, as an example, although tbe
salmon pack of Alaska for that period
was abnormally low. Tbe pack of all
kinds of salmon in Alaska for the
past season was 8,746,493 cases each
weighing, about 60 pounds, and con
taining approximately 48 pounds of
fish food. In round figures, this is
150,000,000 pounds of high-class food
for the human race. In tons of busi
ness for the steamship, it would be
stated at about 131,260 short tons.
If we undertook to bring from Alaska
that tonnage alone in our. three steam
ships now In the service, putting all
the cases In the hold, we would have
to make- approximately from 140 te
160 trips.
Oregon Capital Controls Half. -
"I do not mean to say that this en
tire tonnage is available for commer
cial steamship lines, as a goodly por
tion is nauied in crart owned by the
packing companies. But approximately
2,000,000 cases,, or more than half the
total I have stated, is packed annually
In .Southeastern Alaska, and nearly- all
of this Is brought south In commercial
steamships. - A good share of the 600,
000 to 600,000 cases packed In Central
or Western Alaska Is also borne to the
market on commercial steamships.
"As we reach only Southeastern
Alaska, X will study the tonnage that
we might ' secure in that- territory.
When our first surreys were made of
the territory.' for steamship line, we
found-that nearly half of the total
pack In the Southeast was controlled
by Oregon capital or men who were
formerly Oregonians, and who would
have still a friendly Influence for the
state. Tbe weight of this pack which
we held as a possible ultimate Oregon
tonnage offering, would be from 33,000
to 37,000 tons.

With such surroundings and upon
land that is not surpassed anywhere
in this country, the people of the St
Paul country drifted Into lives of
serene contentment They were a
world unto themselves, and until re
cently it is doubtful if many Orego-
niana knew of the existence of the
place. Today the little town has a

Two first class roads are to be built
during 1914, one leading from St Paul
to Newberg, via a new $80,000 steel
bridge over the Willamette, and the
other out to Broadacres. One road will
be constructed by the county, at least
but If It Is necessary to build both of
them rom private subscriptions the
money will be raised. The building of
these two roads places St Paul on
the Pacific highway routes, and opens
its beauty and historic Interest to the
traveler. M

St Paul people know that there Is
no immediate prospect of their town
developing into a metropolis, and they
are going to be content with the ac
quirement of the 200 or more farmers

pounds of halibut, there was caught In
north Pacific waters last year 6.4 11.-
80S pounds. Of this a large share is
sent to the east and Interior country,
by means of 'refrigerator trains, and by
express handling ice boxes.
Other fish than halibut constitute a
big business. There was packed In all
the North Pacific rast year about
28.000 tierce of mild cured salmon,
which would weigh In packed form
about 11,000,000 or 12,000,000 pounds.
Reduced to tons, this item would come
to 14,000 or 15,000, an important Item
for any port studying trafflo move
ments. "The picked salmon pack was also
quite Urge, being put at 88,332 barrels.
In cod. the catch ran to 11,816.000
pounds, and herring 10,413,926. Thai
herring oil and herring; fertiliser pro
duction would run above 200 produc
tion. Of course it is understood that
Alaska is not a great whaling terri
tory yet and this figure does not re
present the whole North PaciHc.
Salmon Xs Cheap Tood.
"We find that in fish and fish pro
ducts, other than canned salmon, there
was- last year approximately ao.ouu
tons of traffic available for south
bound movement. That as you will
appreciate, la very Important and Is
something worthy of our most intent
study Adding this to .the normal catch
of canned salmon for the past few
years, and the total runs from 170,000
to 200.000 tons.
I want to emphasise the remarit-
able cheapness with which canned
salmon is put upon these markets.
For the past two or three years, the
pink salmon, which Is 80 per cent of
the Southeastern pack, bas bad an
oDenlna- crice of 65 cents a dozen
Salmon is a cheap rood, ana one oi
the most important supplies that the
Pacific Coast baa opened to the world.
By giving the proper attention to prop
agation. It is possible to make this
fish supply in much greater volume
than I have stated, a permanent rood
factor, and a permanent asset to the
trade of the Paclflo Coast
-In all this work, as well as all
in trade channels. It is up to Portland
and Oregon to take a most aggressive
and active part in developing and
establishing tbe industry. We who are
going on th advance line of trade
effort trust that the whole community
will keep In the closest touch with
Alaskan affairs and work, and do a run
share in everything that will promote
the general good."

ONSDALEIS IMMUNE
FROM DEPREDATIONS
OF CRIMINAL CLASS
Earl Has Frequently Been the
Victim of Pickpockets but
Property . Is Returned.
TREATS CRIMINAL KINDLY
Many of Underworld Kave Benefited
by Peer's oenerosltyt Pamllies of
Convicts Are Cared Tor.
London, April 25. For sbout the .',
twentieth time stolen property has
been returned, to the Karl of Lonsdale
with an apologetio note, pleading lg
norance of the Identity of the victim
by, the thief, and thus again has It
been demonstrated that England's fa
mous sportsman-peer does' not require
police protection. When, a few days
ago, the earl found that he had been
relieved of his valuable watch as he
was coming out of the Gaiety theatre,
he did not even report tbe Incident to
Scotland Tard. He simply strolled
around to the National Sporting club
ana casually mentioned his loss there.
It would be criminal libel in Kngland
to suggest that members of the N. U. '
C. are in any way associated with Lon
don's light-fingered gentry, but, evi
dently the earl felt pretty certain that
the news eventually would reach the
right quarter.
.Although he does not give away '
large sums In ostentatious charity,
nor worry himself to any great extent"
about uplift work, the earl is really be
loved by the criminal classed owing
to his unfailing generosity to the wlv.S
and families of convicts. Lonsdale
never preaches, but no down-and-outef
ever appealed to him in vain, and for .
these reasons the inhabitants of tbe
underworld, many of whom owe a
fresh start to bis kindness, have con- .
stttuted themselves the official guardi
ans of his property. The edict long ,
ago went forth that nothing belong
ing to the earl should bo molested.
Hence the news that his lordship
had been touched for his clock set half
the dips in town trying to find the cut-
prlt, who eventually turned out to be
a provincial crook not personally ac
quainted with his victim. The time-
piece was forthwith returned with re
grets, and the grinning footman at
Carlton House Terrace, who took the
package, made no effort to get a po
liceman. He recognised the symptoms
of the caller.
A previous occasion when Lonsdale's
watch pocket wan picked was at a
rather disreputable East End fight
fest. While he was chatting with a
group of boxers, one of the promoters
1 sidled up and in husky tones said:
"One of the boys haa Just asked me
to hand your lordship this, and to
he didn't recognlxe you in the push.'
The article proved to be the earl's
watch, which had been so. cleverly ab
stracted he had not missed it.
