Cervallis, "Jan. -17. To ' the Editor ' of The Journal In yesterday's Journal ap peared an editorial on roads and .road bonds, beaded "A Sixty Million System.'' it was not my understandinr that-we had spent that amount; but I will accept your figures.. Then what have we to show for tha expendture of SSO.OO0.eoo? About SiO to 700 miles of highway. Now if we but look to the north of us we Cod that Washington state, has built a fine system of highways measurinr about 1000 miles for 2e.0OO.00CL or at a cost of about-120,000 per mile. Anyone who is fond of figuring can find out what Oregon's roads have cost per mile ; it loi.ks to me that it will show up from wU.OOO to S80.Q00 per mile. . . we snouid nave some . mlcbty rood reads, to have cost us that figure: but they tell us they" are going to pieces hi places so rapidly that it was one ot the prime causes for calling the extra ses sion pf the legislature,, that laws might oe enacted to limit the loading of heavy trucks on highways. Lest we forget, -let . us ro back five years and see what was promised out of uie rurst is,ooo,ooo bond Issue, that fa mous bond issue that was to build all our roads. . I think you are right when you say that you said at that time Jhat the $6,000,000 would be inadequate. But let us see what the roadbuilders promised. Let us refer to what the highway com missioners told us. E. J. Adams, then member of the hixhway commission. stamped the state with practlally . the same speech. But his main, speech, de livered in Portland, was published in full In the Oregon Voter. May 6. 1917. I shall quote from that speech. , On page 23 of that Issue of the Oregon Voter be says they would build roads for $10,000 per mile. He goes on to say: "You can see, therefore, that the funds available from this bond issue will practically hard surface every mile of road designated In tht bill and on the map as hard surface roaa that now demands such surface. This statement is run in italics. - A little further on Mr. Adams says: "They tell us thi8 ja a $50,000,000 program.' Then he attempts to refute that claim by again promising that roads will be built for S10.000 per mile. Then on page 31 of the same issue he says: "The facts are that with the use of this bond money from the Bean bonds and the federal government ror work on post and forest roads, plus tbe surplus tn the highway fund for use on still other roads, we will be able with in a period of five years to fairly well eomplete in good shape all the mileage designated in this bill without any fur- tl-er borrowing of money." All of the foregoing statement printed in italics, but I merely want to italicize the latter clause, for It was promised all over the state that there would never be any need for any more bonds to finish all of our road program. It was also promised that the automo biles would pay for all this In a period of about 26 years and would not cost anyone a cent. F. A. Sikes. UNIVERSITY PARK LIBRARY Question of Site Discussed by a Cham pion of the "Community' Site. 1 Portland. Jan. 21. To the Editor of The Journal. Relative to the apparent ly arbitrary stand taken by the exten sion committee of the library board' en Wednesday, that the new University Park library would be established on the Methodist church property . at the corner of Lombard and Fiske fetneeta, In preference, to the site selected by the community at large, which is at the cor ner of Lombard and Hodge streets, I, as a taxpayer and resident of this dis trict, wish, after stating a few facts as they appear , to me, to be enlightened upon tig main points involved, it my version Is wrong., . ' - ! Which are the' -more closely related J and- essential to each other, our public schools and our libraries, or any par ticular church and our libraries? I un hesitatingly say the former. If I am right In my opinion, then should not the school and the library be located either adjoining, if possible, or as near as a suitable site can be obtained? In choosing sites for public schools, is It not always the case that a loca tion In chosen most nearly the center of the district which the school Is to serve, and which center is not apt to. change during years to come Was the Ports mouth school located contrary to this general rule? I think not Would a busy business comer,, or a quiet loca tion 200 feet from the public school grounds appeal to you most as a suit able site for a library? For the benefit of those not familiar with the University Park district. I will say that both of these sites face on Lombard street, which -is an 80-foot paved street on which :1s the streetcar tine. The former! site Is the one offered by the directors of the Methodist church, and the latter by the community at large. It might be well to state that one main objection to the library building just abandoned was the presence of rowdies, who annoyed the librarian. The community took this Into consideration tn making selection for a site, by getting away from the Portsmouth business houses, while the extension committee would place the new library in a loca tion. In this respect, similar to the one just abandoned. The library has been located directly across Lombard street from the Portsmouth school, which I may state is the only public school in the University Park and Portsmouth districts and has an enrollment of sev eral hundred pupils. - To a committee of women who visited the Central library, the head librarian stated that the University Park library was one of the best patronised branch libraries in the city. Since the new site offered by the community Is but one block from' the old site, then Is not this patronage ample " evidence ot the li brary's proper' location? The prlnefpal and teachers of the Portsmouth school unhesitatingly are behind the commun ity, morally and financially, ln keeping tne HDrary jnear- ine- "cnool, -where chil dren's hour for the 11 tiler-ones may be continued, and where It will be conven ' hour for the Ilttle-nes tnay.be ient for all children to obtain books that their teachers may advise, .in - Helping them advance fat their school work. No mattervhow far or tn , Vhat direction the child has wro' home, the .llbrary.iiben will wbe equally' close for '.alL.' Tothe Lombard and. Flake site, and return- to the schoot the distance Is -more than- euarter.vipf a -mile. - .Does .this' .wasted time mean.-anythlng'td a parent?? : C i The action' of the community , at large In . choosing their site is- an nxnsetfish one, for the good of all.- - ' ; ?-'.

XaaneTai ,,McCacTer. To ' this recital Mr. I)rtlexejjids a sketch of the early career ot General MeOnrrer.J 1 1 I Recently I visited David Caufield at Oregon City. When 1 asked him to tell me of soma of the Interesting things be had seen or taken part in in the early days of Oregon, he said : .One of the first things I saw thai made a vivid impression on ray memory was Joe Meek cutting the .rope that dropped the trapdoors for the five In dians who were being hanged at Oregon City for the Whitman massacre. All five of the traps were sprung at once. A big crowd had gathered, from all over the Willamette valley. "Joe Meek was a man you couldn't help liking. He was square-shouldered, had long hair, and he could pretty near ly talk a bird out of a tree, he was so entertaining. "The next thing I remember of historic importance was the funeral of Dr. Mc Loughlin, in 1857. My father was one of the pallbearers. I attended the funeral and I have never forgotten It. a a a "When General McCarver went up to Puget Sound he had me come up there. I took a claim, tt which part of the city of Tacwm was built. McCarver hired me to build the. first frame' house in Tacoma. The only other house there was Carr's log cabin. McCarver waa living at that time with his second wife. His children. Betty, Jennie and Naomi, were with them. General McCarver"s second wife was a widow named Backa low. She had one child. Mary Ann. when he married her. I lived with the McCarvers a long time when Tacoma had a population of 12 to 20 people: so I got very well acquainted with them. aictrarver and his folks were very sin cere, friendly, nice people. You couldn't help liking them. a a a "I was married December J. 1ST. Rev. D. B. Gray, a Congregational minister, performed the ceremony. For a while after my marriage I was mate on the Occident. Later we moved to the Nor. ton farm, 11 miles east 6f Oregon City, and from there to a ranch In the moun tains In a district called Hell's Half acre. Li lt92 I started a grocery store in Oregon City.
