Water Power Co. was held in the 1 Condon National Bank in this , city on Tuesday evening. Those 1 present beside the local members I were, Ci. S, Carpenter of Fossil, ;Mark Gill. II. 1. Keeney. F. P. Schow, C. I) Charles, 0. B. : Hathaway, W. II. GrindstafT. F. S. Munn, A. E. Clarke, and R. A. Hollenbeck of Portland. The first section of the survey as made by the firm of Shipman. Denny & Rhame was submitted for approval to the directors. The grades being very satisfac tory to R. A. Hollenbeck, the company's engineer, and the di rectors, the survey was accepted. The maps of definite locations of dam sites and power plants on the Deschutes and John Day riv ers were also approved and have been filed with the State Engin eer and the Department of the Interior. The financing has pro gressed to such a point that suc cess is assured. Representati ves of the company will leave on the 28th of this month for New York to perfect the flotation of the bonds. The Trust Deed to se cure the Bond issue was author ized at this meeting. The grades on this new line are all less than three per cent which is very light for an electric road. There are no heavy curves, only one being ten per cent and the rest are much lighter. Prospects are very favorable for construc tion work to begin in the near future.

ARLINGTON LUMBER Item GOOD ROADS CONVENTION (Concluded from first page.) said that the aim of the associa tion was to build a number of state, rouds ns has been done in other states. He cited the ex ample of Los Angeles county in California, which recently ap propriated the sum of one and millions for the building of good roads. He explained that the purpose of the Good Road move ment was to.arouse greater inter est so that the matter of appropri ation could be presented to the legislature in a clear manner. He said that some such luw as the Johnson road luw would probably be presented for pass age at the next session of the legislature. After all the biggest obstacle to good rouds in this state is man's selfishness. John Doe is afruid that his neighbor will have a better road in front of his field than he and he opposes the whole movement because of sel fish interest Others are con tinually criticising the county court for not expending the mon ey to better advantage. The fact of the matter is that the av erage county court does as well as it can with the limited amount of money at its dispoal and can not make much of a showing be cause the people of the differ ent sections of the county want a little work done in their re pective localities. The speaker rcfered to convict labor and said that the convicts could be used to advantage in the building of state roads. Judge Scott favors the appoint ment of a state road comission to profitably look after the repairs on highways and take general supervision of the roadbuilding. Judge Scott said that the other numerous duties incident with the office of county judge made it very difficult for him to devote much time to road question. The road question should be left to county commissioners and a com petent engineer. "The import ant thing in building roads," said he, "is to have a solid foundation or rather a good dirt basis which should be thoroughly rolled with a biz roller before any rock is applied." The big rock should be put down first, then a layer of small er crushed rock can be applied and the top of this which must be thorouchlv rolled, a coat of screening can be added, this last layer must also be rolled. Six inches of crushed rock when properly rolled will make a splendid road. In speaking of the local crusher, he said that the screen was not of the right kind because it let the screen ing and the crushed rock go down together. Principal J. C. Sturgill made a few remarks on the "Relation of the Good Road3 Movement to Ed ucation." He said that real ed ucation was the process of so cialization and that it places one in a correct relation with every movement that goes to promote the public good. Therefore it is natural that the schools should be interested in the movement for good roads. Good roads will do away with provincialism and bring the people together, pro mote commerce and the public welfare. Geo. B. Dukek, of Mayville, spoke on general lines and was ready to assist the movement. He stated that good roads meant much to the success of the farm er. He was able to haul his produce to market or to the stat ion in a more adequate way and with less expense. Better roads will enhance land values. J. A. McMorris thought that the present more or less unsatis factory condition of the roads in this county was due 10 lack of purpose and that sufficient mon ey had been spent to give this county tolerably good roads. The musical and literary pro gram was excellent and each SAMSON WINDULLS JAMIESON & A. t"?" f-.. fv "; wan uv igivllv'naen "4 ii-'ri t IIII MARSHALL MNITftRY rUUMBtlU ItlMtON. OHMIOJ.
