"' '-- ' " WEDNESDAY, FEUKUAItY 19, 1913 . GOOD ROADS AGAIN. Tho past week two tils things hap pened in good roads circles, ono an injury, the other a distinct benefit to the good roads raorement. The first to occur was Klamath county's wran gle over the methods nnd expendi tures of County Judgo Wordcn who was elected two years ago pledged to a f-rosraai of road construction. In that time about half a million dol lars has been spent and some of the ilncat highways and bridges In Ore son construed. Factional differences. It Is said, culminated In a severe censure of the county court "by the grand Jury. Judgo Worden Issued a statement alleging political and financial con spiracy on the part ot the Weyer haeuser and other large timber In terests, to stop the road building be gun, to esespe taxation, and on the part ot certain other Interests to gain control of the county. Falling In their various efforts to obtain his resignation, he says, recall pctlttons 'were placed in circulation. Since both aides haro begun airing their differences In public, other cit ies and towns ot tho state hare taken an Interest, because such fights hurt the cause of good roads. Klamath county waa coming to be talked about tor Its splendid roads, and these were begun by Judge Worden, and the interest' of cltlxens of other counties of Oregon la expressed In the hope thst (he work started by him two years ago will continue. The second big event In our good roads crusade was the visit of the Oregon state legislators to Maryblll nnd Lyle, Waab., a week ago Sunday, as the guests ot Samuel III!!, the good roads agitator and friend, for the purpose of seeing what could actually be done by Intelligent and elt-dlrect-ed efforts to give us better roads. The following Tuesday evening Mr, Hill addressed both bouses of the Legislature at Salem, and by both etereoptlcon pictures and word of mouth eodeaveored to show why good roads moan rural settlement and prosperity. Mr. Hill told of a trip he mado through Oregon to se cure firsthand Information regarding conditions. Amopg other things be Bald: "What did I find? Between these beautiful cities; the. farm. hduseslperQ lioarded up. The farmer did not have good roads snd the comforts they make (K)BsliIe, and he had gone to the cities to get them. Yet we must keep up the soil. It Is the only" condition under which our government will en dure. I saw great districts In east ern Oregon, with more clear . days nnd a finer climate than Los Angeles hue. nd not s hassatlln road to th outside. I'saw thewonderful scenery of the Columbia river, our great mountains, more beautiful thsn any In the world. Inaccessible because there are no roads." Iiy way f recommendation, Mr. Hill said that the only way to secure results was to employ an expert to direct the road work and standardize the highways, Just as trained men are. hired to build' railroad;. He uald tliarkood roads could' not come about all at .once, but that the count ties could make a beginning and the sooner the better, No commnnlty would for a' moment tolerate a rail toad that-had a poor-roadbed, where the grading was sllpsbodand the curves made, by a section hand, yet it would seem as GOOD Wititi HtNVAUA Tho resolutions ot tho local Com mercial Club directors regarding Hond'a feeling to Uurns and that boc-v tlon tare timely. Thoy are alncorr and they echo tho sentiment ot ov crjono In Horn! whoto judgment I worth consideration. Hcnd fool nothing but tho kindliest Interest I Uurns. lt could not bo otherwtai There Is a magnificent empire sui rounding Uurns, and Its (ovolopmnn, Uko tho development ot every otbe section ot tho Interior, menus a re ilex development for Demi. Whit helps ono helps nil. So far as th Iosslblltty ot jealousy Is concerned lt Is hard to think tor n mlnuto the Hcnd might bo Jealous ot Hum! That Is utterly Impossible for tr towns are separated by nearly lt miles and they depend upon district thnt are entirely separate. Tt growth ot ono cannot Interfere wli tho other. For a couplo ot months a nowap! per In Hums has been doing Its u most, apparently, to stir up strtfo b twecn tho two towns. Just why, It hard to lmagtno. Ot course, tho loa of tho I) urns paper has been follow ed by a Crook county sheet whoso fundamental principles- eomo say lta only principle! Is a jealous desire to throw mud at llond. Oo to It, gontlcmcnt lou can do no ono harm except yourselves. In the meantime. Tho Bulletin will continue lta customary mothods: thnt ot lotting tho other fellow do tho knocking. And so tar as Uurns and Harney county are concerned, tho substantial people ot Hcnd plcdgo themselves to a renewed effort to eradlcato any shortslghtod slighting mat may navo existed and to a re newed effort to see that everyono, who comes here possessing an Inter est in tho southeast country gota out of town with nothing but onthuslas-' 1c reports of that territory added to thoso ho already had. farmer who cleared $70 In a year from ono hog. That ailroly tl "going some." It wo had mbro hogs wo would bo more prosperous,. HOYS' X'LURS. Tho Knights of the Triangle, com posed of boya ranging In age from 12 to 20 year, haa been formed In ono of the Central Oregon towns. No matter by what name these organlza tlona of boya are known, they should be encouraged by tho older peoplo In the small towns of our state. For ono thing, these clubs tond to tlo tho boys to tholr "home towns, and dis courage their going away to seek their fortunes, aa they say, in strange and distant places. If theso bands ot young men can Include in their alma something to Interest their members in land development and tho growing ot crops or livestock suited to the cltmato and soil, soma communities will soon be leading tho less progrcastvo ones to better and more substantial things. Local com. merclal bodies can well afford to go out of their way to help such unions of their town youth and assist them with suggestions and In othor ways more tanglbje. Anything that will keep tho young men at home, and cose to the land, Is quite worth while not only In Central Oregon, but in every other section. Street Journal. Wlckorsham has dropped his suit, against tho coffee trust, as he round that there wore no grounds. Wash ington Post. Somebody asks, "Can Roosovolt really write hlatory?" Why, bloss you, ho's tho follow who makes Ill Walt Street Journal. Men accused of $5,000,000 fraud In selling "rare tooks" have lieen In dicted. The bookworm has turned. Madison (Wise) State Journal. Editor Myllus, who libeled King George, has been turned away from tho United States. Myllus arrived at our gates Just about 13S years too late. Houston Post. r'UrfV'S "There are rumors of a breach be tween Prosldent-elect Wilson and William Jonnlnga Uryan." That lino has appeared on an average ot four times a week ever since November .5, last. It would be a vast mechanical convenience if tho dally papers kept lt set up and ran It, say, every other uay, just under the weather report. It la common knowledge that any one who Interferes In a family row gets Into a hornet's nest, and our friends the Mexicans promise to unit against Uncle Sam should we ven ture to step In and administer a spanking. However, anything that would unite Mexico might seem desir able. "MowrHOGHr' Last week we said something about hogs being essential to farm prosper ity.
