Page Two FOR U.S. I That "the taipayer. In many coun ties of thii country ere Inviting aer loua losses In road Investments unless they. change their line ot reasoning' Is a warning contained In a statement Issued today by Charles M. Upham, engineer-director of the American K"ad Builders' association. This asso ciation, through its research work and educational efforts, has done much toward standardising highway practices and effecting economics In rood work. "In some counties the taxpayers, In their determination to reduce pub lic expenditures, have gone so far as to wipe out road levies enterely and leave the county without funds to maintain the roads they baTe," says Mr. Upham. "In other counties, though the money is available for proper maintenance, minority groups of tsxpayers have insisted that road expenditures be stopped entirely. "Every county should divido Its road work Into two distinct classes first, maintenance and second, new construction. What a county should do toward furthering a nev construe Tested In roads, and as a matter of careful consideration for both offi cials and taxpayers, but there never should be any question In the minds ' of either regarding the advisability of maintaining the roads they have. "Every county has thousands and some counties millions of dollars In vested In roads ,and as a matter of common sense economy, every tax payer should not only favor but Insist upon the roads belne kept up in pro per condition in order to preserve this huge investment. Neglect of proper maintenance for a matter of only a few months can easily put unpaved roads into a condition which will in volve expeusive repairs or reconstruc tion much more costly than mainten ance this to say nothing of th in convenience and inevitably higher cost of traveling poor roads. "It Is to be hoped that taxpayers everywhere in their righteous en deavors for economy In public expen ditures will not Insist npon unreason able extremes, which will threaten the deterioration of our present high way system in which evory taxpayer has ft vital Interest and considerable investment. Let us keep up our roads and save this investment, seeing that the rorfds are not only properly main tained for the remainder of this year, hut that financial provi na are made for their adequate maintenance ntt year.' .

THE EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD 21 NORTH SISTER ON Twenty-one Eugeneans, 10 of them for the first time, scaled the- precipi tous sides of the North Sister, black demon of the Cascades, Sunday, Aug. 21, on the fifth annual official Obsi dian climb of the peak. Ray Sims, who has led ail the Obsidian climbs i this peak, led the party assisted by Gene Pearson. Unusually good time was made In tlie ascent, the party leaving their base camp at Ccott cany at 3:45 a. m. Sunday, reaching thea ummit at 11:45, eight hours from camp. C. H. Young, 72-year old Obsidian, reached the sum mit and declared it was the "best hike he had even been on.' The ascent was made up the south west ridge, the party crossing Col lier glacier near the top and climbing Red ridge, the ridgo which leads from the glacier to the Camep's hump, just as the sUn was appearing. After cross iitj the treacherous Camel's hump, the party was roped ij for the circuit around the pinnacles where climbers must skirt the fast side of the cliffs m.. the long, steep snowfteld on that nide. Reaching the snow (ield just under Prouuty pinnacle, the party found it manlier than usual though 'more dif ficult to cross due to the ice surface it presented. Sims, assisted by Tom Miles, cut steps across he field, the work taking ti.em 40 minutes. The party was then moved across the field, great care- being necessary here because a slip means a swift slide of over 1000 feet down the mountain. Reaching the chimni. in the peak, the climbers scaled tbe 100-foot wall to reach the summit, just as a fog bak rolled In, obscuring the sun and preventing the party from getting a good view from the top. The descent took but two hours, the group meet ing a party of four climbers from Camas, Wash.,, who were. on their w . to the top, Those making the climb were Tom Miles, H. H. Whitney, C. H. Young, Phillip Dale, Elizabeth GuUfon, H. P. Currin, Margaret Thompson, Roy Kil patrick, Arthur Henderbuott, Herman Hendernhott, Glen ..Lioyd Sims, Bryan Ryan, Ellen Endlcott, Kathar ine Endicott, David Con key, A. J. Vogel, Gladys Simons. Dr. John Sim ons, .Gene Pearson and Ray Sims. Mrs. 0. Mortensen accompanied the party as far as the glacier.

"Just try and aell our stores outside fruit when they can get quality from the local farm era. It just can't be done.

The pro-ordinance group Is pre pared for a fight to the finish In the council chamber. The measure, ac cording to President Chambers, ia the result of a year's survey follow ed by aeveral weeks of concentrated effort. It was drawn up by City Attorney F. M. Calkins in coopera tion with the agricultural committee. "Th ordinance ia coming late in th. year and already the lack of such a measure has resulted in great loss to Lane county growers, aays Chambers. "If it Is put through as an emergency measure, it will im mediately cut off the shipping in of inferior quality produce to compete with our own formers who are de- Eendent upon Eugene for their mar et " The fruit and vegetable war will probably occupy th principal atteni tlon of the city council Monday even ing.. The two camps will be present in full fore and prepared for battle. The pro-ordinance group will pre sent the argument that small truckers are "dumping" Inferior produce in Eugen. in competition with Lane county growers. The anti-ordinance group will argue that the amall truckera are operating a legitimate business, not in competi tion with Lane county growers, but helpful to them In that they are dis tributing local products to other points aa well as ahipping in here.

It ia pro poaed in the five-year program to connect it with the Pacific highway by building a new road, from Lorane to tAnlauf. Construction of two bridges and maintenance of the entire road are included in the five-year mid get. This project would then be completed. The Alaea-Deadwood road will not be completed during the period. This road will eventually connect the Sius- law highway with the Alsea ntgnway. Under oresent plans the road will be built from the Siusulaw to Deadwood bridge. Engineers have not yet de cided where the road will join the Alsea highway. The road from Eugene to Swiss home through Not! and Richardson will be opened under the program, al though final surfacing will be left to th future. Two bridges will be built over the Siuslsw river on this pro ject. This road is regarded as one of the most important of the projects a It will afford a shortcut to Flor ence. Th Foi Hollow road will leave Eugene by way of Alder street and extend to Creswell. Only three mlleB are now opened up, there being nine miles left to clear and grade. One bridge, over Camas Swale, is to be built. This road will be finished.
