Phone Main I, The East Oregonlan Is In receipt of the following letter purporting to be from a representative of the farmers living along the old Barlow road across the Cascade mountains, which it is proposed to buy for the state for the sum of $24,000. While the East Oregonlan does not agree with the promoters of the scheme to buy the road, it gives them space to explain their project. The letter is as follows: Welches, Clackamas County, Ore., May 15th, 1906. East Oregonlan Publishing Co., Pendleton, Oregon. Dear Sir: There has been no dis cussion In the Oregon press of the law which is to be voted on next June, abolishing the Barlow Toll road and providing for its purchase by the state and Its conversion into a free public highway. The farmers who live along this road and who have to pay the tolls were able to raise enough money to circulate the petitions to get this law on the ballot, but have no money left with which to make a campaign. We must, therefore, rely upon the news papers of the state for a discussion of the matter, and believe that the entire community will sympathize with us in our effort. We therefore write you an explanation of the situation. The Barlow road crosses the Cas cade mountains Just south of Mt Hood. There is no other road between it and the Columbia river on the north, and not for 100 miles to the south. If you want to cross the Cas cades you must travel over the Bar low road and pay toll. The Barlow road is a strip of land 40 feet wide and nearly 70 miles long. The owners hold it under a grant made 40 years ago by the federal gov ernment. Their right to charge toll has been upheld by the supreme court. The farmers In Clackamas and Was co counties who live In the country tributary to this road, have to pay toll on every head of sheep or cattle they drive to Portland. They have to pay $2.00 every time they cross the mountains In a wagon. There Is no other road crossing the Cascades. Every immigrant wagon must pay $2. Every settler driving from the Willamette valley to settle in eastern Oregon (and there are lots of them) must pay J 2 on his little grist of furniture. The owners of the Barlow road did not initiate the law abolishing the tolls and providing for the purchase of the road. They did not even know It was to be done. They agreed a year ago with our representative to sell the road for a certain price. We then Initiated the law ourselves and raised the money to circulate the pe tltions. The owners of the road, I understand, do not want now to Bell the road, at the price agreed on, $24, 000, but they will be compelled to sell If the law passes, as we hold their agreement. If the state does not buy the road next June, we will never have another chance to buy the road for twice this amount of money. Nor could It be built over again for $100,. 000. There is no way to get rid of this toll road except to buy It. As the state grows It will become an Im mensely valuable piece of property. In five years when this country Is thickly settled It will be worth a for' tune to own the only pass across the Cascades and to have the right to charge toll on it. And the state will have to buy It sooner or later. The farmers cannot buv the road themselves. There Is no reason why they should. The road Is a great state highway the same as the oil Dalles wagon road was. The legislature ap propriated several thousand dollnis to build The Dalles wagon road. No one would complain if the state were to begin to build a new highway over the Cascades at a cost of at least $100,- 000, , W hope the Oregon press, which Is .usually ready to help the common people, will help the unfortunate far mers out In this matter by publishing this explanation. We have got to get rid of this toll road. Its existence is a hindrance to the growth of all cen tral Oregon. The state should help us and It will never have a better chance nor as good a chance, as now. we have no money with which to make a campaign, and will have to depend entirely on the merit of our case. Yours respectfully, C. W. KERN, Chairman of Farmers' Committee. towns appreciate thoroughly the open handed generosity of your people of Oregon, Not only did they sen J us food and shelter before the flamies that had destroyed San Francisco had been quenched, but they sent us men and women to minister to our sick and wounded.

"Oregon was among the first to re spond to our appeal for help, and your representative, Hon. Jefferson Myers, and those accompanying him, did much, very much, to alleviate the distress the great earthquake and the succeeding fire brought upon our peo ple. Dr. Mackenzie and his assist ants, Dr. Equt and those with her, and Mr. and Mrs. McRae, Mr. Teal and all the rest of the Oregonlans, did much for us at a time when we were practically helpless. And the food and shelter that came from Ore gon saved many of our destitute from great distress. "Will you kindly thank your adju tant general for the great aid he ex tended to us, and assure him and your national guard that we appre ciate more than we can tell them the material aid and their offers of per sonal service to us.

"The San FranciBco disaster has killed the racing game in California, said Thomas Ronan, owner of the Pleasantown track, who arrived In Walla Walla this morning en route to Dayton, where he will look fter busi ness Interests for a few days, says the Walla Walla Statesman. "California horsemen are scattering to all parts of the United States since the earth quake. There will be very little rac ing in California for another year at least, and horsemen, realizing the sit uation, are shipping their stables to eastern and northern tracks In hopes of recuperating their losses." Mr Ronan says the earthquake shock was plainly felt at Pleasantown track, which Is located about 40 miles from San Francisco. The track and racing stables sustained little damage, however, and the quarters are crowded with horses being condi tioned for the eastern circuit. Horse men are shipping their stables as fast as they can secure cars. Mr. Ronan said that the disaster will result In hundreds of California horses being shipped to Oregon and Washington to race on the northwest circuit this fall, A CHAMPION Stitching Has been placed In my uhop.
