PAGE 4 THE BEND nCLUCTIX, 1UILY EDITION, IlKND, OREtJON, MONDAY, AI'lllI, li.'l, IIM7 ARMY BAND SHOWS HEROISM ON FIELD lYcnch Mtislciiins I'lay to ICiul of lluttlo, Although 10 Out of Oris- luol IS are Dropiml, (By United Prow to the Bend Bulletin) PARIS, April 22. Almost dally Toports of mnulfold feats of herloam ty men who fight have almost com pletely overshadowed the heroism, of the men who battle solely with mus ical Instruments as doggedly as their comrades of the bayonet. Here Is a true story of the 46th French Infantry band, which, before the war, used to play summer after noon concerts In Paris. The band, composed of IS musicians, under Bandmaster Laty, never ceased to piny, though ten were killed or Avounded before the troops conquered the town of.Vauquols. Advancing with the regiment, Laty was beating time for the ."Marseillaise" when the first bandsman fell. Bullets were flying everywhere as the band ad vanced. With the "Marseillaise" half play ed the casualties numbered four, the alto and flute placed out of action "by an exploding shell. Soon the reg iment was in the German trench and the band struck up "The Charge." The fifth casualty came almost im mediately. Laurent, one of the three clarionets, was hit in the stomach. He grasped the shoulder of his neighbor but the latter shook him -off and marched on without remov ing his instrument from his lips. German machine guns were hammer ing the advancing French from a Jieight in the town. The noise was terrific but the remnant of the band forged ahead without a break in the music. Biaichard, the big drum tner, was the next to drop. The same "bullet wounded another flute play er. The troops were now engaged In hand to hand fighting with the Germans in the streets of Vauquois. The bandmaster signalled his re maining men for the "Marseillaise." It came promptly though not so loud and strong as on the first occasion. Provist, first-trombone player drop ped his instrument when a shell splin ter shattered his hand. Meunier, second trombone, shot through the hip, crawled to the instrument Pro vost had dropped and went on play ing. The band had now reached a "place where it came under a heavy enfilading fire. Another bandsman -was shot through the heart. When the day was won there re mained but- five of the of the heroic "bandsmen who had escaped intact. One of these .was. .Bandmaster Laty -who had continued to beat time with lis white gloves throughout the en tire engagement. Every instrument -was damaged by bullets or shrapnel. !A saxapnone was torn from the hands of its plajter. by shrapnel splinter. . The foregoing Is why the general orders a few' days later said that the "'46th Infantry Band played under the enemy's fire to encourage the" at tacking troops in spite of a heavy bombardment." .. DON'T FORGET THE GOOD JOADS RALLY Governor, and Highway Com ' missioners Included in List of Speakers. Governor Withycombe and Highway Commissioners" Benson, Thompson, and Adams are included In the list . ot speakers for the State-wide Good Roads Rally to be held in Portland, Saturday,-April 28th. The committee in charge of the gathering also plans to have five-minute talks by a num ber of Mayors from various Oregon cities. . ' ; Representation at the meeting will "be unlimited. Every club and organiza-' tlon throughout the state that is in terested in good roads and Is favor- able to tbo road bond bill has been invited to send" as many representa tives as find it possible to attend the rally. !

Reports from throughout the state in' dicate that the attendance will be large. GOOD ROAD POINTERS County money now spent on trunk lines will be used on laterals and other less traveled roads If the good roads bond Issue Is voted by the people at the Juue election. Clackamas County, the home of C. E. Sponce, Orange Leader, who Is op posing the road bond bill, Is reported to have spent $3,000, OOu' on roads in the last ten years Bud has three or four miles of improved roads to show tor it. Vote for the roads bonds June 4th. It la good business. ' In 1910 the people of California vot ed bonds to the amount of $18,000, 000 for good roads by a small majority. Last Fall by a 4 to 1 vote they approv ed a further, bond issue ot J15.000, 000 for the same purpose. Callfornians know a good investment when they see it. -'. , ' "Stop renting your roads buy them." , "Paying as we grow Is better than paying as we go" was one of the polut ed remarks of Highway Commission er Adams when he recently addressed a meeting ot Portland Realty men. People won't go back to the farm until they have roads to get there. Assist the "Back to the Farm" move ment by voting tor the road bond bill at the June election. Place the burden of building tho roads on those who wear them out the automobiles. The state license on automobiles has been doubled and the owners of these machines are willing to pay the increased fee. All they ask is that the money so raised shall be expended in construction of good roads. Vote for the road bond billN and assist to bring that about Auto license fees alone will pay all the costs principal and Interest ot the $6,000,000 road bond bill and leave a substantial balance for other roads. And all this without an additional cent of taxation for the farmer. Every automobile owner in the state should vote for the $6,000,000 road bond bill. His license tax was doubled by the last legislature and be will have to pay the Increased fee anyway. If the road bonds are voted at tha special election in June, the money derived therefrom is to be expended in the construction of a system Ot state-wide hard-surfaced roads. ... . Will the people from the interior be benefitted, inquires J. F. Hutchi son, of Douglas County, in a communi cation to the Roseburg News. There is no question about that, he replies in answering his own question. The bonds mean better roads for every section of the county and better roads mean many things. The farm or ranch can be sold for more money if one wishes to sell. Marketing is facilitated and the cost is lessened. The sooner we get permanent roads the sooner will taxes grow less. Good roads cost less to maintain. 'If we dump our money each year Into a tew mud holes and keep it up from year to year we have benefitted no one, not even the men who fill the mud holes, for they have to pay part of the taxes, too. "To our way of thinking," says the Hillsboro Independent, "perhaps the chief argument in favor of the road bonds Is that the cities and towns as well as an additional proportion of the total valuation will pay the largest share, and the burden will be shifted from the farmer's 26 per cent to the remaining 74. Not only that, but the complaint that the city automoblllit has worn out the roads he did not pay for Is met nd In the future he will travel the road that cost him more than was paid by the farm be passes and in addition the fat total ot his automobile licenses, a proportion ot which was returned to his own county, will now pay the Interest on the loan he made to build the roads."

Cashier A DOLLAR'S WORTH FOR A DOLLAR SPENT Assurance Is Given That All Funds Will Be Economi cally Expended. In the selection ot a Highway Engineer at an annual salary ot $3600, the State Highway Commission threw anothoa bombshell Into the camp of those opposing the road bond bill. Opponents ot this measure had boon predicting that a $5000 or $6000 man would be glveu this job. The action ot the Commissioners In this Import' ant matter only corroborates the as surance previously given that they will safely and economically expend all funds entrusted to them. It Is entire ly In keeping with the announced policy of the Commission that it will give a dollar's worth of value for every dollar expendod In all mattors connected with road construction. Mr. Nunn, the Highway Engineer, was' se lected because ot his efficiency. He has had years of experience in road building and the records ot his work show the most satisfactory results at a low c,ost to those footing the bills. IS MR. SPENCE CONSISTENT? Four years ago C. E. Spence, Maater of the Grange, advocated the Grange bill which proposed the Issuance of 6 per cent bonds by counties for con struction of permanent roads, the bonds to be paid by direct tax levy. Mr. Spence Is now vigorously op posing the road bond bill which pro poses Isulng $6,000,000 twenty-five-year 4 per cent bonds for hard-surfaced roads. A direct tax Is not Imposed for the retirement of these bonds. Ample revenue to pay the Interest and retire the bonds at maturity Is already pro vided by law from the Increased auto mobile licenses and the existing one fourth mill state road tax which has been a fixed tax against all property tn the state for the last four years. In other words, the bill to be passed upon by the voters at the June elec tion will not increase the general taxes of the Individual. If Mr. Spence was right In 1912 he la wrong now. MILITARY PREPAREDNESS Moving of heavy gun carriages, and heavy loads of ammunitions and army supplies, necessltatea better roads than at present are available in Oregon. : If our state is exposed to attack, the railroad facilities are not as. well adapted to carrying heavy guns as are Improved highways, and it is up to Oregon to get Its through trunk roads in shape to facilitate the move ment ot supplies. Should the railroad centers become too congested, owing to war burdens, or should they fall Into the hands ot an enemy, the through roads would be the only means ot communication left to get supplies from place to place In the Interior. Farmers would of necessity depend upon the through roads for marketing their crops. Every resident of Oregon will see the neces alties of the situation once this is called to his attention and will see the bearing this has on the road ques tion to be voted upon June 4th. The Dalles Chronicle. Good roads are Indispensable to the progress and prosperity of any state or community. Such improvements attract tbo tourist, encourage local development, promote social life, im prove market conditions and stimu late thrift. Rural life is made more attractive and agricultural develop ment is advanced in proportion as ac cessible roads are established and maintained. The further settlement and development of the state's unten anted lands add to their value. Tha consequent Increase In assessable val ues gives assurance of reduced taxes. Support the good roads bond bill June 4th and thereby assist to effect these conditions. Battle of Golden Hill.
