Judge J. H. D. Gray's Address at the
Farmers' Institute.
Mr. Superintendent, Ladles and Gentle-
men:
I was at a loss to understand why the
originators of the Farmers' Institute' These subjects will require much care
should have selected one who, for more ful consideration and detail work by
than thirty years has been engaged In' the convention to enable them to make
nearly every capacity, from deckhand
to master, agent, and owner of steam-
ers, navigating first the waters of the
i razer river, British Columbia, and Pu-
get Sound, then the waters of the Col-
umbla, river, from its mouth nearly to
the Salmon Falls of the Snake river, to
address you upon the subject of wagon
roads in Clatsop county. . j
I was very strongly disposed to de
cline the honor, but remembering that
I am now the servant of the people,
they have a right to know the views
of those whom they have placed in pos
itions of honor and trust, I appear t
fore you to briefly state them.
The peculiar topographic character of
Clatsop county, (especially the most
populous portion, located upon a penln
sula surrounded by bays and rivers and
heavy timber) make the building of
roads a very serious and costly prob
lem; in fact ten miles, I believe Is all
the prairie or open country that the
pioneer of 1844 found within Its present
. boundaries. But roads have been cut
through dense forests and bottomless
swamps. ,
In that year less than a dozen pion
eers took donation land claims along
these beautiful plains, built clapboard
houses to shelter their wives and little
ones, whom they. had brought here
from Astoria in conoes, landing at Tan
zy point, and from there on horseback
around the beach to their homes.
The first wagon road was built In this
county In 1844, from' the upper Skipanon
landing through dense woods to the
old Tibets or Ward farm, and I well
remember In 1846, when a boy, the an
xious moments, as with frightened step
I ran across the corduroy or pole
bridges, one-fourth of a mile long, that
Solomon H. Smith, William Hobson,
John Hobson, George Somers, William
T. Perry. E. Trasks, Calvin Tibets, and
Thomas Owens, had spent months to
r ' ,c ,
build in 184-5. For years afterward,
first brush and then sand was carried
from the hills on to the bridges, until
whai was an impassable swamp Is today
some of the best road in the county. I
am told that the poles covered with
water, sand and brush, are as sound
yet as ever. Ancient history, says Borne
of my tenderfeet friends, is very grat
lfying to the pioneers and mossbacks.
but what are we to do at the present
time? Competition from California, the
Columbia and Willamette valleys, and
the settlers along the banks of rivers
ln Washington, for some reason, can
undersell us, and supply our merchants
and citizens with more than one-halt
the farm products consumed ln this
county.
There are many reasons for this con
dition of affairs, most of which other
speakers have fully Informed you. But
transportation is the great expense
that a farmer has to contend with,
whether he hauls his products ln his
wagon, puts It in his boat, or steamer,
or places it upon the cars and sends
it to market, it is a continuous charge
and tax upon him.
The question of paramount import
ance is how to secure the quickest and
cheapest transfer from the farmer to
the consumer, who Anally pays the ex
tra cost of delays and transportation.
Unquestionably good wagon roads,
from the farmer direct to market, Is
much superior to all other transporta
tion. How, then, to secure good wagon
roads, concerns not only the farmer,
hut the consumer, and every citizen of
the county. I am quite confident that
all will agree with me on this proposl-j
tlon. But It costs money to build good
roads, and the interest-bearing debt of
Clatsop county Is about $80,000, (our
state constitution limit is $5,000,) with
assets of doubtful character for about
one-half that amount, resulting in dis
counts of county warrants of an aver-'
afe of ten per cent; therefore It is rea
sonable to say that our monthly Inter-
est is about 1550 rwr month. This

terest than we are compelled to pay buy, for they're guaranty toveratlsfac
, . tion, or your money is returned. You pay
on county warrants, and save discount.1 ,,y for the pooci you get.
This matter I earnestly hope will have ' There's notuius hkely to bo "just a good."
i
the especial attention of our members
to the next legislature. The situation
must be met as we find it, and better
roads we must have; therefore, the pres
ent county court has thought best to
call a road convention to meet In As-.
toria on Tuesday. August 7th, 1894, for!
the purpose of considering and recom
mending to the county court the best
manner of building and improving the
roads of this county.
The object of the jneeting is to unite
the people of the several districts if
possible, upon the most economical and
at the same time permanent plan of
making good roads. The court has
recommended that each supervison, to
gether with the delegate to the road
convention, prepare a memorandum of
the total number of miles of hill,
swamp, sand, gravel, pole or corduroy,
puncheon or plank road in their district;
also the location of gravel, r jck quarries
and sand banks, the location and kind
of timber along the line of the road,
whether it is suitable for sawing by
portable mills, dense green woods, or.
and any other information that can be
filed with the county court for futures
reference. We have also sent for cat-
nJntmoa r.t ko nrt nt rr-V "niahpra
- "- - - - i
wiu vuier roau appliances, uimj jjurui-uic
saw mills, and will ask mill men to
state the lowest price they will furnish
lumber; also what contractors will con
struct puncheon road for.
We shall, If possible, place all the In
I formatlon obtainable before the con'
ventlon. I trust that the delegates will
be able to arrive at a satisfactory con'
elusion regarding the kind of roads, the
different localities roaulre, and the
cheapest possible cost of such road.
Intelligent recommendations to the
county court, or that will be uatisfac-
tory to the people when adopted.
The maitter of providing money to
carry out and build the roads I have
planned Is where nearly all such enter
prises have heretofore failed. Fellow
cltlzens, good roads cannot be built
without money, and the taxpayers must
make up their minds to go without or
be taxed to pay for thenu
I believe that we have laws on our
statute books, If properly complied with
and enforced, will Bolve the problem. I
will read from the road laws of Oregon,
compiled by the secretary of state, Sec.
4084, Sec. 40S5, Sec 4104. These are the
laws the former county court has been
acting under and must be our guide In
future, unless the people desire to ac
cept what Is known as the Cross Road
law of 1893, which I uhlnk Is the best
we have now, and is fo'jnd on pages 42
to 43, road laws. The latter law should
be amended so as to allow the building
of plank, or puncheon roads, and the
state constitution should be amended
so as to allow by a vote of the people,
the counties to incur an indebtedness
of 10 to 20 per cent upon the assessed
valuation of the county. Then perma
nent Improvements can be made, such
as building roads and a creditable court-
house, to be paid for by those who will'
enjoy them hereafter, and not by a di
rect tax upon those who have bourne
the burdens so long.
