Bend's second big good roads meeting was set ahead one day, when State Highway Commissioner W. L. Thompson, of Pendleton, Roy Rlt ner, Umatilla county representative in the legislature, and James Stew art, ot Fossil, member of the Grange, arrived In Bend this noon Instead of tomorrow as had been scheduled. Preparations were hastily made for an open air meeting to be held this evening at one of the main street in tersections. The three good roads advocates were guests this noon of the Commercial club at the Pilot Butte Inn, the affair taking the place ot the usual Wednesday noon lunch eon. Declaring that too many personal ities and too much prejudice are be ing Injected Into the bond' bill cam paign by the opponents of the meas ure, Mr. Thompson addressed the Bend boosters, giving a forecast ot his evening's speech. He asserted that the measure gives Eastern Ore gon its first chance for a share ot roads money, proportionate to the area served, and the road, mileage. "One clause alone in the bill should justify a unanimous vote in Us fa vor," he said, "and that is the pro vision that 60 per cent of federal and state aid for post roads must be in districts east of the Cascades." , Nearly ConvertH Brown.

Mr. Ritner gave a few remarks, in which he praised Bend's new ho tel, and hoped that the same progress would be shown In road making as in the hostelries of this section. Much Benefit for Bend. Mr. Stewart wittily disposed ot the charge made against him that he had sold out to the good roads ad vocates for $3000, by asserting that he was not nearly so cheap, declaring immediately afterward that the only cause for antagonism on the part of a Bmall proportion of labor in the state was because of an old feeling against one of the members ot the highway commission. "If only 60 per cent ot the money to be spent Is to go for roads east of the Cascades, one-halt ot that 60 per cent will go to Bond," be as serted. "Bend's progresslveness Is known throughout the country, and what I want to say is that if the whole state could be inoculated with this Bend spirit, a unanimous vote would be cast for good roads at the coming election."
