Mr. John Wells, County Commissioner, Replies to the Ob
server Man's "Interview.''
Grants Pass, Oregon, May 24, 1904.
Editor Courier:
Please allow me, through the col
umns of your valuable paper, to reply
to some insinuations made against the
county court and invsclf In the last
issue of the Oregon Observer. It bus
never been my policy to givo any heed
to political maligning, for the reason
that experience lias long sit ce taught,
that it is generally disbelieved, and
especially is that true in this com
munity. My reason for taking notice
at this time is that the article reflects
upon others associated with me poli
tically and officially.
Tho article in tliu Observer and the
editorials assume that tho county
couit has been contemplating the cou
struc iou of a new bridge, but I can
state positively that at no time lias
the court offically considered that
question, and lias never at any time
employed or requested HDy engineer or
official to make any report upon or
consider that question. I have talked
some with a few citizens on the sub
ject, but the only idea was to build a
bridgo only when necessary. It is
true that sonic complaint had betn
niado thai tho bridge was not entire
ly safe, but the court had not consid
ered the complaints seriou ily enough
to have the matter looked into, as the
bridge seemed to be answering all ro
quiromenK It had been suggested by
one of tho heavy taxpayers of the
county, Mr. J. T. Layton, that when a
bridgo was built that tho ftime should
be done by direct tux for that purpose,
for the reason that it would in the cud
be cheaper, for if warrants are Issued
the interest is paid for so long a time,
that the cost is almost doubled, when
Dually paid for. But in that re
spect would of course bo guided by
too people, as I have always been.
I have lived in Josephine and Jack
sou counties for 40 years and I am en
tirely willing to leave to the judgment
of the people the question whether
I would bo governed by any base
motive in official lifo. jj,n conversa
tion aluded to in the Observer, ap
pearing 011 the titst mge, came about
in this way : I met V. W. Chansse
on tho street and took him to task for
an attack made upon me in tho pre
ceding issue about the Sucker creek
bridge, in which lie said that had
there been a commissioner of the right
sort, the bridge could have been
saved. I told him that the day the
bridgo was dtstroyed, that I worked
with four men through one of the
hardest rains I ever saw, till nine
o'clock at night, when being ntterly
exhausted anil the daikuess being so
iutense, wo had to desist. Tho bridge
was destroyed by the bank being wash
ed away, and no labor could have pre
vented it. He endeavored to pass the
matter off iu apologetic -manner say
ing it did not amount to anything,
' ntwl llieti nf la.rwii rils hee-lll to talk
about the bridge here. As he seemed
somewhat embarrassed and sorry, I
couitnued the conversation with him,
and did say that I thought when we
had to build a bridge that a steel
bridge would he cheapest in the long
tun, and something about the prob
able cost, and about the difference in
living for it by direel tax cr with v ar
rauts. 1 was not talking for publica
tion nor as commissioner, but as one
private citizen to another.
I little expe n d that urter the apol
ogies mado foi- tho previous attack
that my remarks would he gitbled to
make another. I am charitable enough
to believe that had tho county court of
which I was a member allowed all the
printing bills of tint Observer instead
of insisting upon a reduction to a
proper and reasonable price, that the
attempt to intimate that I am conspir
ing to build a bridge, when uuncces
saiy or for any ulterior purprsc would
not have been made. I 11m not com
plaining because I know that men who
try to tin their duty fearlessly and hon
estly are always assailed by those who
long to live out of the county treasury,
and nothing so euriigi s some people as
the fear that their graft will bo ter
minated. Kospt ctfullv,
JOHN WELLS.

OFFERS REWARD OF $3000
GREAT MACADAM HIGHWAY
StMa Roevd to Do Built Across
Missouri.
Dans for "a "public highway across
the state of Missouri between SL Louis
nd Kansas City are virtually complet
ed, and, according to W. H. Moore,
president of the National Good Ronds
association, work probably will begin
uiKin the roadway early next spring.
The project has been a cherished 0110
tver since the uiitlonal convention of
food rondcrs was held Iu Chicago In
T.I0O. At that time the feasibility of
building a cross slate road was dis
cussed by Mlssotirhins, nnd President
Moore was asked to use his best efforts
to make the undertaking successful.
As proposed the roadway will be 100
foot wide throughout Its course, says
(he St. Louis U, 'public. While It Is to
be built primarily for stability It Is
also the purpose of the projectors to
make It one of the most beautiful high
ways of the world.
Macndntn eight Inches deep and
twenty-four feet wide will form the
principal roadbed, but clny wagon
paths will parallel the main roadway
on both sides for dry weather. Be
tween the dirt roadbeds and tho fences
which will follow tho coiitso of the
road water sluices arc to bo made for
drainage. Between theso sluices and
the fences a wide plank walk for pe
destrians is also to be laid, nnd be
tween the sluices nnd the walk trees
are to he planted for shade.
These trees are to be planted by per
sons living along the route of tho road
way, uocordlng to a clause in the agree
ment which will be drawn up between
the projectors and the olllclals of the
counties through which the road passes.
According to the calculations of Mr.
Moore, about nfty-flve itillea of this
cms state highways are already com
pleted. ami from observations made
along the ronds six counties luivo inn
terlnl from which the rond can be con
structed. The cost of tho road Is not lo
exceed $3,000 a mile, which will bring
the total cost when completed In the
neighborhood of I'.MKt.iHHI.
The building of the road, if all tho
plans of the National Coral Itnads ns
soehitlon tire carried out, will devolve
largely upon convict labor, the viigrnul
nnd those guilty of misdemeanors.
Taxation w ill form the chief means of
raising money to complete the work.
each county paying n pro rata of the
expense. Money appropriated by the
legislature for the Improvement of tht
roadways will also be used ou the cross
talc highway.

Governor Chamhcrlaiu uu Friday Is
sued a proclitmaltion offering rewards
aggregating tUOOO for the arrest of the
assassin or assassins of J. O. Conn,
tho Silver Lake, Lake County, mer
chant, and for the arrest and convict
ion of the parties guilty of destroying
a bind of 2500 sheep at Christmas
Lake, Lake county, April 2Ktli last.
The governor at the same tiino direct
ed a letter to th'i peace authorities of
Lake county ask ing them to exercise
evcrv diligence to proservo law and
order.
The coroner's jury in investigating
the cause of Conn's death, returned n
verdict of suicide, but thiro seems to
be strong reasons to believe that lie
was niiiidcred and that his death was
at least indirectly chargeable to the
existing feuds between the cattle and
sheep im 11 of that si etioi:.
The governor says Iu his letter to
Sheriff Diiulap: "I am just in receit
of 11 complaint from reputable citi
zens m ar the placa where acts (if law
