. 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

tho growing ot crops or livestock

communities will soon be leading tho
less progrcastvo ones to better and
more substantial things. Local com.

out of their way to help such unions
of their town youth and assist them
with suggestions and In othor ways

keep tho young men at home, and

not only In Central Oregon, but in
every other section.
