Y. World offloe. The future historian mast be care ful in handling the public docu ments of 1908; he might easily im agine things of this period worse than they are. As one who is deeply interested in the welfare of Sher man county, and its residents, I desire to make a sugges tion that I believe will be to the interest of all. I he thought is, ‘Better Roads, and How to Accomplish lhem? Let our County Court re-district the entire oounty, from one end to the other; into districts that would be about one-fourth as large as they are at the present time. By so creating these smaller districts there would be no difficulty in appointing a Supervisor who would work the roads in his district at a time when the work would be effective. All residents in the smaller districts would he more interested, for they would know that the work would be put on the roads in their immediate vicinity, and they would he more willing to go out and work, and would make greater effort to interest their hired men to pay their poll tax. At the present time nine-tenths of the transient men escape the poll tax, and thereby thecouhty loses this work. The farmer’s telephone will soon he in most of the homes, and the road Supervisor could arrange his work through this medium; thus eliminating the old method of going from one farm to another. This one matter alone means the saving of many dollars that can be put on the roads. A small road district should be the means of creating more harmony in the district, and if they would all work faithfully at a favorable time, it would be but a few years until we could point with pride to “good roads” through out Sherman county. c - A- B uceley . There is considerable in the words of Col. Buckley to commend. Sherman county possesses the means and the ability to provide every needed adjunct to securiaffof good roads, when properly awakened without chasing after the phantoms created by traveling speculators whose principal desire, it seems to us, is to reach into the pockets of thrifty stay-at-home taxpayers. The bacilli of Good Roads, con tagious in Oregou recently, appears to be fully prepared with a complete equipment to honeyed phrases to hypno tize the Solons of Oregon during the 40 days in Salem then tfork the State Treasury, for all there is in it, on pretenses too prodigeous for description. Be it understood that this county is opposed to such schemes, but is willing to take up the sensible proposition mapped out by Col. Buckley, and with his aid make a success of it. We shall be pleased to see any number of the thinking, representative citizens of the county in Moro next week, to talk the subject over with the Court while it is in session. This is the oppor tune time, “if you have a free thought speak it.” Why not organize a Home Development League for Sherman county?
