H. S. Blandford's Paper in Part Be
fore the Walla Walla Convention.
Walla WaIIr. Feb. 8. In part, the
paper by H. 8. Blandford before the
good road convention, which asked
the MWIMHwri to nrlnf It said:
When we consider that the value of
all the product coming from the soil 1
Is many billions of dollars each year;
that the producers of these products
have in the first Instance, to deliver
then to the warehouses of the mer
chants or shippers; that all of them
have to be hauled for Home distance
OTOI COUntri roads; that hauling bj
animal power l the most expensive
Known to rnnsportatlon in America;
thai it routs on an average through
out the 1'nlted States. 2t" cents per
one per mile, or $1.26 for five miles,
when hauled by horses: that the
same weight may be carried II miles
by electric cars; 2B miles by rail
toad and inno miles by steamboat on
the treat lakes: that the annual bill
for freight for hauling over country
mails COOtl the agriculturists over ft,
,000, and that if an Intelligent
system Of country road Improvement
were cAi'rlod on for ten years, the j
MOM amount of hauling would cost
only 1400,000,000 then the great Im
portanee of building good country
ioiid becomes at once apparent, anil
producers of agricultural products
should be able to see that there Is no
other factor of economical manage
mint of the farm and its kindred in
dustrles more In need of attention
than good roads.
Strawing and Drainage.
Our supi rvlsors have made and are
making experiments with strnwing
with good results. Any oik who has
studied the history or good road tnnk
mg will be struck with the Import
aiwi oi good drainage In the plan ol
ret) epert road engineer It will
lie recalled that Macadam declared
that any soil would serve for road
inundation If thoroughly drained am
l.ept dry. ThU assertion seems to ue
home out by experience A note,!
writer on the construction Ol roods
has declared tlmi the thret SSOOa
tials to the making of a good ,H1
are "drainage, and drainage and
drainage Make tlx
greater rate of road tax. except per
haps temporarily.
Coming Improvement.
1 express my belief that the secur
ing of good, permanent mads on a I
plan of co-operation. between the I
nation, state, county and distil, t
will be one of the crowning achieve
ments of the agricultural districts
during the twentieth century. It Is
estimated that there are now less
than 1,000,000 miles of public high
ways In the Tutted States: that ot
these not more than one per cent
are good rock roads. The railroads
are largely built and great numbers
of laborers are no longer needed In
their construction. But in the build
ing of these rock roads labor can be
hopefully forward to much employ
tnent at good wages: capital can bt
assured that It will derive benefit
from the handling ot all agricultural!
products, and the agriculturalists
thomselve. ran sec the time coming
when a ton weight ran be hauled fin
miles for :o to .15 cents Instead Ol
$1.25. as Is the cost now; while the
man on pleasure bent, whethei rid
Ing In his buggy or automobile, or
on his bike, will bowl along over the
roads whose smooth surface and
Me grades will give a pleasure to
