was an under current of unrest.

to Caves, where the situation was
reported to be tense, was under

The proclamation of martial law
was iuund Wednesday night by
Col. Richard Cutt, brigade com
mander of the b. S. Marine corps
here after a strike In the customs
Louse which threatened serious
consequence, and out of which the
rioting grew.
The strike began when a Haitian

government buildings to find others
to Join them.

Prunes First Impetus
Towards Good Roads
In Marion County
Prunes were the real impetus behind the first rock roads
in Marion county, forerunner of the present wonderful sys
tem of paved roads which penetrates every section of it
rormer couniy judge John '
Scott, who fsti.ered the first move
ment In the county for rock roads
which would pull the farmers out of
the mud got the movement under
way during his terms from 1901 to
180$ and states It was tl.e plight of
the prune men In the Rosedale hills
which caused the movement to get
under way. Probably there were
less than a down automobiles in
tl.e county when the first rock was
blasted out to go on a macadam
road.
"One day I met a prune man and
his son trying to drive his wagon
into Balem from the Rosedale dis
trict and he was mired hub deep,"
said Judge Scott In telling about
how tile movement for hard surface
roads 1-ad Its Inception In the
county.
"The prune district out there In
those days was getting well under
way but In an average fall the
growers couldn't get their prunes to
bairra necause of the terrible road
conditions. Out In that red soil it
is easy to mire and the roads were
marlp for wagon traffic in tie .tim-
mer time. The rest of the year It
was a case of getting In and out
when you could. ,
Tha DOSsibilitv of a sooH road
ou that way was talked over and
finally a delegation came In before
the county court. County Com
mustoner Needham, who was a
prune man Umself, said that 1500
pounds of prunes was all he could
haul in with nls wagon and best
team when conditions were not
even at their worst.
"So we discussed with the farm
ers wl.at could be done about it-
sixty thousand dollars year was
the most money we had for roads
for the entire county and that
wouldn't go very far on rock roads.
It kept us guessing pretty close to
keep the ordinary wagon roads In
shape let alone trying to advance
any new fangled idea, as It was
sometimes called In those days.
"But the court wanted to hero.
the farmers wanted the roads, so
we made a proposition of going 50

BIG MEETING
OF LEGION IS
CALLED HERE
One of the biggest American Le
gion meetings of the year will be

evening of December 20, according
to A. C. (Biddy) Bishop, comman
der of Capital Post No. 9. with Sid
Oeorge, of Eugene, state comman
der, making bis first official visit
here since the state convention last
August and also Carl Moser, Port
land, state adjutant.
All post officers In District No. 2

beginning at 2 o'clock In the after

lem, Dallas, Sllverton, Stayton and
Dayton. The visitors will be enter

It for us. They didn't wait for
grade or alignment, they wanted
a road. So it meandered something
like a cowpatb but a lot of rock was
dumped and shoveled around and
it held up the teams and wagons.
But when it got muddy the rock was
so high they had trouble getting
onto It.
"So next year we made an Invest
ment. We bought the first road
roller In use outside of Multnomah
county. And It pushed the rock
down Into the mud and the farmers
were Jubilant. Their prunes- came
into market.
"ScoUs Mills and" ML Angel saw
what had been done and they want
fd tl.e same thing. At Srotts Mills
I held a meeting and they promised
to Join 50-50. Word came from Mt.
Angel that we didn't need a meet
ing, they were readv to meet us half
way without It. By that time we
had two rollers and two rock
crushers and the r"",dam work
got under way.
"A little later the government
came In and built five-eighths of a
mile of surfaced road out by the
fairgrounds and the people began
to be pavement minded.
'But it wasn't all easy sailing. A
lot of work was needed and many
people dldnt see the need for rock
roads, even In face of the plight of
tie farmers. But It was the start
that finally grew Into the present
road system.
-Personally I didnt like to see
the Rosedale road stretch out like
a cowpath with the rock dumped
without regard to grade or align
ment, but it was better tl.an noth
ing and it brought In the farmers'
prunes."
