This brings to the surface the necessity for the farmers of Oregon to grow more hogs.

The greatest difficulty iu build ing good roads is not the actual construction or even the payiug for them, hut convincing the people locally that it can be done without burdensome or ruinous taxation. No community ever be gan the building of stone or gravel roads, usually called hard roads, without the most bitter op position from those who would lie most largely lienefitted by the im provements. It is encouraging to know that no community ever began the building of hard roads that did not keep on doing so. When the taxpayers had had the experience of using the roads and payiug for them more roads were demanded, and soon those most violently opposed were found on the firing line fighting for more Boosters seem to differ.
