The question that is foremost
in the minds of the people in re

one most frequently asked is this
Where will the 6,000,000 be

that out of the funds derived
from the sale of bonds enough

paving companies have provided
that part of it shall be hard sur

material will be used in the build

have had in the past. If the
material usfd is dirt and rock it
would be a good road, depending
upon how it is built, but the cost
thereof would be at least several
thousand dollars per mile, and if
so, the bill does not provide for
enough money with which to
build the roads that are designat
ed in the bill. It is true that the
bill seems to promise us much.

the state as a whole and not one;contemplated that it would begin
dollar of the money of the var
ious counties last above mention
ed is to be paid for that purpose.

How many miles of road there
are to be paved in those counties
before the roads there are com
pleted I do not know. I do know
that the roads in these counties
will cost on an average of at least
$8,000 per mile, as portions of it
in Hood River county will cost
as much as $25,000 per mile be
cause of the rugged work to be
done there, and when the matter
is all averaged up it is question
able whether $8,000 Der mile
will care for the cost.
It will be noted from the bill
that there are roads of first im
portance, but there is nothing in
the bill that provides that roads
of first importance shall be first
constructed. There is opportun
ity for rank discrimination in the
building of the various roads
designated in the bill. Then
again if the people vote favorably
on the bill and the monev i
partly spent and the next legis
lature desires to change the law
so that eastern Oregon is cut out
entirely, we are helpless as we
are in the minority in the vote of
the state. We all believe that
the new State Highway Commis
sion will mete out justice to all
parts of the state. But they will
be powerless if the next legisla
ture passe3 a law making it com
pulsory to construct certain roads
in western Oregon first.
There is nothing in th bill
showing the composition of the
material with which to make
to build half the road designated
therein.
As far as Gilliam County is
concerned it will not get any
paved road for the simple reason
the bill provides that no paving
shall be done by the Highway
Commission until the base for
such paving has been first laid
at the expense of the county in
which the paving will be done.
And such a base will cost not
less than $6,000 per mile, and
since about 30 miles will be re
quired from the west to the east
end of the countv. we cannot
build it, because it exceeds in
cost the amount of money that
could be raisedlmder the consti
tutional limit which would be
about $100,000 hence we will have
to content ourselves with post-'
roads and at the same time help
pay for the paving of which wo
will get nothing in our county.
Do not understand that I am
against good roads as I am heart-!
ily in favor of good roads. But I
what I contend is that we can- j
not build a system of roads that !
will cost $50,0)0,000 for $6. 000,000 '
and if not, what is the scheme!
behind the bill? I venture toj
say, that if this bill passes in its J
present form, and the monev
provided therein is spent we will j
have in this state a system ofj
roads partly completed. Then
what will the people do about it?

Mr. Ward to speak to the farm

subject of eliminating the eauir-

for the benefit of the farmera:

and stir into 1 2 pint of boiline
water to make a clear thin paste.
Mix 1 ounce of powdered Rtrvrh-

of saccharine. Apply to 20
quarts of oats or wheat nnrl mix
