STATE AID FOR ROADS.
Five highway bills are before the
legislature, endorsed by the Good
Roads association, end by the Coun
ty Judges and Commissioners aseo-
cladon. They are modeled on the
most effoetN and equitable meas
ures adopted by other states. They
are vital to the progress of the state
and we hope they will' be adopted.
The one appropriating state aid
to the counties la building roads la
based upon $10,000 from the state
to every $20,000 raised by the coun
ty during the years 1911 and 1912, or
a total appropriation by the state
of $880,000 for the V"" years.
A we understand It, each coun
ty that raised $20,000 a year for
road purposes for those two years,
would receive $10,000 a year from
the state no more, no less,
Wallowa's share of the state tax
required to raise the $680,000, baaed
on present valuation, would be $8,464,
and we would receive $30,000 In re
turn. '
Multnomah's share of the state tax
would be $262, 740 and It would re
ceive but $20,000 In return.
If the foregoing la correct it would
certainly seem good business for the
Numl'er counties. Portland favor It
on the rround that, what helps the
. f tate helps the state's market place

A FEW WORDS PERSONAL.
Just a ,word personal. The pub
lishers of the News-Record and the
Chieftain have boon making efforts
to collect money due on subscription
for several months past. This Is
not conducive to growth of circula
tion as any publisher will testify.
In spite of that fact, and of the fur
ther fact that no special canvass, has
been made during that time for sub
scribers, the lists of both papers
have steadily grown until today each
paper has a larger number of paying
subscribers, than over before.
For this, and inany other evidences
of the good wishes of our readers,
the publishers feel deeply grateful.
We will endeavor to reciprocate In
klndr-by giving better county pa-l-frrs.
MAKE IT COUNTY-WIDE.
The county falrcan bo made the
beat advertisement &f remote parts
of , the county by people of those
parts taking an active Interest In
It,
The first thing to do Is to belong
to It. . Persons always take more
Interest In something to which they
belong. Write to the President of
the Fair Association, Enterprise, and
tell him you want to Join,
Now Is the time when such action
will be appreciated. A lift lu time
Is better than & whole lot of "we
killed the bear,'' expressions next
faU. '
If it can't be a COUNTY fair H
would better be no fair at all.
Enterprise will have a free pub
lic library and reading room. The
action has not been taken yet, but
,we are assured the council Is a unit
and will probably take the necessary
step at Its next moetlug. A splen
did move and one thatwlll never be
regretted.

Tillamook Spends
$300,000 For Roads
Isolated Oregon, County Becomes
Prosperous Thru Building
Permanent Highways.
(From the Portland Journal.)
The coming of the railroad will
not Interfere with Tillamook coun
ty's 1'iberall'ty toward wagon roads.
In the past three years that isolat
ed county has spent nearly $300,-
000 on road work. This year the
County court has made a levyt which
will provide $125,000 for road and
bridge purposes. It Is a difficult
matter to reach Tillamook over the
present roads across' the mountains,
but once within th confines' of that
prosperous county, the traveler will
find highways that, .would be a credit
to much more pretentious communi
ties
Olatsop county, lying north of Til
Imnook, Is also making liberal provis
Ion for 1911 road work and haa plans
for meeting Tillamook county with
a first-class road over Necamey
Mountain. When, that road Is In
shape for automobiles, people will
cross the continent to use It,

THEODORE WILCOX SAYS '
EAST AWAKE TO OREGON.
Portland, .Jan. 17 Wide) Interest
and confidence in Oregon throughout
the East was noticed by Theodore
B. Wilcox, president of the Oregon
Development league, who has just
returned from a business trip. He
found the railroads are advertising
Oregon extensively and expects this,
in connection with the otter ,work
along similar . lines, will bring a
flood of settlers. Mr. Wilcox found
the belief general throughout the
East that the completion of the Pan
ama canal will be of great benefit
to the Pacific coast."
Mr. Wilcox showed the pride he
feels la his state when he said:
"On my trip I passed through Vir
ginia, the Carolina and Georgia, I
do not b imitate to say I would not
give the poorest acre In the whole
Northwest for ten of the best in
that section of the country, that is,
for agricultural purposes."
