Imi. 1 i GOOD ROADS PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY GOVERNOR WEST Goernor Weal ling Issued tho fol- lowlng proclamation designating tho week beginning not Sunday ns Oood Itoads Week: SAhtiM, Ore., Jan. 2. Oregon Is on the evo of a groat awakening. Tho morrow will bring tho Panama Canal, nnd with It will come unbounded op portunities with their attendant In flux of population nnd consequent commercial and Industrial growth, ndvancement and prosperity, Our Creator In tho beginning moulded our slate with kindly hands. Whott we think of her delightful cli mate her hundreds of miles of golden beach, her lofty mountains nnd streams, crystal lakes nnd beauti ful harbors, lior magnificent forests and rolling prairies, fertile vnllcjs nnd roaming herds, of her waving strain and luscious fruits n land dotted with prosperous cities and pro ductive farms we must admit that nature has fully performed her part. The federal government too has treated us fairly In tho way of ap propriations for the development of our waterways nnd even the rail roads have awakened to tho reali zation of our needs and their oppor tunities nnd are checkerboarding tho stnto with bands of steel. In view of these things we nro prompted to ask ourselves what should wo do In the way of co-oper-ntlon with these sovoral agencies for the development of the state? It Is true that wo have given good taws, pood government and good schools nnd many other desirable things to those who have come within our orders, but much of this good has been nullified by some of the things we have failed to do and chlof among these Is our neglect lap the matter of tho construction of good roads. Without good roads there can be no great development and no great progress. What wo need most Is more people mora people In tho rural districts. And In order to at tract people to the rural districts wo must make rural life pleasant and attractive. You cannot maroon a new settler and his family on a farm in an ocean of mud, no matter how beautiful the spot, and expect to And him happy and content. Ho domands good roads leading to the church and the schools and good roads leading to the markets and ho Is going to locate In that section where these advan tages are to be found. It Is not only our duty but It Is In keeping with good business to build good roads. Money spent for good roads Is money well spent. When wo PRINGLE FLATS NEWS New Settler.

The Invention Is a four wheeled af fair. It runs along the track and by moans of a spirit level section men nro able to tell where tho "bumps" aro. This takes the placo of the old hand level generally lu use, and turves for economy and quicker re IwrtB on the condition of the rails. The machine has been In use on the Great Northern for some time. It has been declared uniformly success ful by operating officials, ,-ud It was decided that Mr. Hill get out a patent on tho Invention Mr, Hill has suggested many things on which devices have been Invented making for tho improvement of tho road. .There is tho triangular tie In Koneral use on tho Great Northern, Northern Pacific and the Hurllngton, which Is more economical and easier to maintain than the rectangular burt.

They apparently are not aware that tho several counties In this stnto spent oior ten million of dollars during tho past six years for road work, much of which was lost through lack of j li tem nnd knowledge ns to scientific road building. Tho question of good roads has boon fairly well discussed of late and we have learned mora about road building during the past few years than wo ever know before, but wo still have much to learn and still hnie much to do before wo under take on n largo scale the construc tion of n Bystcm of hlghwnjs In this sta . We need first: the passage of model good road laws. Second: a competent man at the head of the highway department. Third: funds BUltlclont to carry on tho work. These things will come only through united effort, nnd united effort will como only through a clear understanding of the whole question by tho whole people of this state. Thla understanding will come only through tho study by, nnd education of, tho wholo people Numerous btllls are about to bo Initiated or presenter to tho legis lature by the friends of good roads In different parts of tho st.ne; ami, Whereas. It Is most Ini.nrtnnt that tho peoplo of Orego-i jIiouM give deep and thoughtful attention to tho consideration, study and discussion pf these measures. Now, therefore, I, OsVvnld West, Governor of the State of Oregon, by vlrtuo of tho power of authority In mo vested, do hereby proclaim the week beginning tho fourth day of February, and ending tho tenth day of February, ns OOOD UOADS WKKK, and I do hereby earnestly recommend to tho peoplo of this state that during this period Hie question or good roads legislation bo given careful thought and study through public and private discuss ion and through tho columns of tho press, In order that knowledge per taining thereto may be 'increased, public sentiment crystallzed and of fvctlvo legislation secured. In testimony hereof, I have here unto set my hand and cnused the Great Seal of tho state to bo affixed, on this the twenty-sixth day of Janu ary, 1912. OSWALD WKST. Go'vernor.
