: WANTS BETTER ROADS
lk county Farmer Gives Many
(iood Reasons Why They
Should Be Built.
nALLAS. Or., January 12-(To the
itor )-JuHt a few word8 flbout good
lg Good roads lead all lines of
less to prosperity. Let us for ex
nle begin with the farmer, for if
farmer fails all others must fail
V farmer is the backbone or the
sole country. Nature has provided
in plenty to put on all rouds,
l at hand. Good drainage is
silv provided ; all we need is a few
i0,l'rock crushers and a small extra
, (a trillo to each one) and there
iiild be no end to the result Tor good
would mean.
j have been testing a hill ranch
to winter dairying and ilnd it first
i83 as there is plenty of good green
ana all winter and roots are easily
.,! The hills around this section
the Valley can be made one of the
at dairy farms, Tor winter dairying,
the world, only one drawback being
' the way and that Is bad roads,
jr reaching would be the effect of
jod roads. The farmer could market
(.nmdiicts any time he pleased In-
sad of having to put the whole of
4 cmn unon the market in a short
,ie and thus making prices drop,
lie business man and merchantcould
supply the farmer all the year round
,UM""' 01 niving to soil i a short
space or the year the food stuffs which
the farmer uhoh, often times having
to cut the price on his wares in order
to sell them at onco. I notice that. th
"Observer" has a standing line at the
head of its columns, "Tim way to
build up Dallas is to patronize Dallas
people." I would like to add to that
very good motto those words "And
build good roads."
Tolk County says it is out of debt.
Good. Now is the right time to start
in the building of Letter roads. I am
not familiar with the procedure which
would enable this matter to be imme
diately started, but hope some one
who is will take the matter up. Good
roads would not only mean nn im
provement in the interest of farming,
dairying and tho lumber industries!
but would add a great deal to the
social advantages now enjoyed by
those who are compelled, by the
present state of the .roads to sit at
home all winter. Let all hands wake
up and see if we can't have some good
roads built at once. The cost of keep
ing them up woidd be comparatively
littft) after they were once made light.

Cleaning Up Old Orchards.
An orchardiat who has reeent.lv
been traveling through the Willamette
Valley states that in his opinion the
groat increase of interest now shown
n fruit crowing in the Willamette
Valley and the general disposition to
clean up and care for orchards will
result in making the fruit eron of the
Willamette Valley within a few years
worm more than the whole fruit crop
of the state is worth at the present
time. CorvallU Gaznttn
A Record Breaker.
Tt is said thpfc the greatest and
quickest permanent advertising suc
cess on record is that of Cascarets,
Candy Cathartic, which have been
persistently advertised in every way,
but chiefly in newspapers for about
six years. In that time the sale or
Cascarets has grown from nothing to
over one million of boxes a month.
This wonderful record is the result of
great merit successrully made known.
Those who tried Cascaret3 as a direct
result of advertising, were pleased
and recommended the articles to their
friends until its fame was spread to
become universal.

THIS DESIGN is
one of my best
and most attractive
designs for the
amount of money
which is required to
build it. All wood
work on the interior
of the building is
planed smooth,
sand-papered and
then varnished,
which brings out the
grain of the wood
and makes an ele
gant and lasting
finish. The exte
rior has a most
pleasing appearance
viewed from any
direction, and is free
from all ginger-bread work, which saves consider
able in the cost of erecting and keeping in repair.
The building is provided with a hot-air furnace m
the basement, which is the modern way of heating.
The living room has a large, plain and neat tire
