GREAT
RBDFCTION
FOR BETTER COUNTY ROADS.
Throughout the United States the ag-
itatioa for improved highways is in
creasing and there is every reason to
hope that great advances in this direc
tion will follow. The meeting this week
af Jndianaxli8, of Indiana advocates
of better country roads has awakened
new interest in the subject in that state.
Hut there is danger that a wrong be
ginning will be made in this most praise'
worthy work. Indeed, a wrong begin
ning has been made in New York. ' A
bill recently passed the Albany legisla
ture that provides for a board of com
mieirioiiers of state roads. This board
will be charged with the construction
and maintenance of highways outside of
cities and incorporated towns and a
a state engineer is. to have general super
vision of the proposed syBtem. Thus
far the bill is nil right, but in providing
for a loan of $10,000,000 to carry on the
work it makes a departure from eetab
lished custom in road-making that has
not alone the sanction of immemorial
usage but of sound economic reason as
well. It has been the general practice
in some portions of the east, to apply in
country-road making the same principle
that has governed in the construction
and maintenance of the public streets.
The cost, in one form or other, has been
assessed against the land in some rela
tion to the benefits conferred by the im
provement. Such an act would not be
considered sound in a "sparsely by set
tled country," as the roads are common
to the use of the public and it would be
unjust to assess the cost of making to
the lauds lving adjarent unless the Btate
devised some method, after the improve
ment has been once made, to keep the
road in repair. We are rather favorable
to the plan proposed by the Indiana
congress and should be pleased to hear
of similar action in Oregon.
Senutor Dolph's bill for t he retirement
of Judge Deady after ttfe 4th of March,
if the judge so desires ; has been favora
bly reported upon by the senate judici
ary committee. In his remarks making
the report, Senator Mitchell ppid 'Judge
Deady a very handsome compliment,
saying: "M. P. Deady was, the 15th
-day of March, 1853, appointed by Presi
dent Pierce an asnociate justice of the
territory of Oregon', under which ap
pointment aud a subsequent appoint
ment of February 1st, 1854, and con
firmation by the senate the 6th day of
February, 1854, he served as such asso
ciate justicr until the admission of
Oregon as a state. February 14th, 1859.
The 7lh day of March, 1859, lie was ap
pointed by President Buchanan, and
the 9th day of the same month con
firmed by the senate United States
district judge for the district of Oregon,
and under such appointment he has
served in such capacity to the present
iiiue, a period of nearly thirty-four
. yeans, making a continuous service as a
United States judge of nearly forty j
Tears. It has further been made, ulain I
to your committee tltat by reason of j
bodily ailments which are permanent)
Judge Deady has been rendered physi-j
cally unable to longer perform the duties j
of such office. It is further shown that j
he will not reach the age of seventy
. years until the year 1894; therefore your
- committee, while recognizing the dis
vtinguished judicial service rendered by
Judge Deady during his long service
and his eminence as a jurist, and in i
view of the foregoing facts, report back
the bill and recommend its passage."
It is understood that the Mount Hood
and Barlow wagon road company, intend
making an effort during the next session
of the legislature to obtain a renewal of
their charter across the cascade range.
People in the valley consider that a toll
road is an absolute menace to Mount
Hood as a pleasure resort, and an un
necessary tax to parties crossing the
mountains from one side to the other,
and bold that the Barlow company
should not be permitted under any cir
cumstances, especially when the privi
ledge of collecting toll is asked for, to
renew their charter. It is alleged that
the company has been tried for many
years, and found to be utterly incapable
of returning an equivalant, in the way of
improvements, at all proportioned to the
amount ot money collected. It would,
in fact, says a correspondent, "be an
outrage to grant such a petition under
existing circumstances, and I do not be
lieve the citizens of Wasco and Clacka
mas counties would stand it, if the mat
ter was called to their attention. I am
interested in preventing the collection
of toll, and would like the co-operation
of citizens in Wasco county." Our cor
respondent is Mr. W. G. Steel..
Senator Watson C. Squire is no longer
attracted by the ambrosial cup. The
sparkling wines have lost their insidious
sway, and the vintage of Kentucky fails
to allure him from his senatorial duties.
He has taken the Keeley cure.
