There Is plenty of money, and the people who were thrown out of work by the panic last fall arc returning to their jobs. Hon. W. K. Newell, President of the Oregon State Board of Horticulture, and equally well known in Washington, hnsat the request of the Oregon Develop ment League, condensed hi3 ideas on Good Roads into one hundred Words, and they tell the story: "Bad roads nullify advertising, repel immigration, increase the fcost of living, render the automo bile useless, and will deprive the farmer of rural free delivery." "State aid and supervision of road construction is essential. "In ' cquity-because a public benefit, state should pay twenty five per cent of the cost, county fifty per cent, and tho adjacent property Cwcntyfivo per cent. "For thoroughness-trained en gineers and strict supervision of all work. For economy-levy taxes and pay as wo go, or on the short time certificate plan. t "For education regular and correspondence courses in road building at Oregon Agricultural college and the Uniuersity of Ore gon. ( "Let us build good roads all summer Instead of talking of them all winter.' Why Oregonhm Fteht? Bourne ; Tho vicious anti-fcoumc editor ials lately appearing in thoJMorn jngOrcgontan should not mislead he people who read them. . The deep, sinster motive that lies be hind these attacks, and the self- !sh object for which tlicy.aro bo ng written; iirc known to a few; ut it is well that they should bej Eiown to all. Someday, per- ps, when the T ermng Oregon-1 . ,i has passed into other hands, jthc real cause of this outburst of make-believe anti-Bourneism nay appear in tho same columns that are now battering the junior senator. . It Is known that Senator Bourne Is a wealthy man. At one time, at is said, ho made overtures to the owners of tho Orcgonian for its purchase. It is said that Mr. Bourne and other men were desir ous of having: a daly paper in Oregon that would represent the people, offered the publishers one million dollars for the newspaper -property. Tha story. -goes that whcn tho Owners Paw ft good ichancoto let go they raised the price to a mu :h.hiirher figure ,than 'they would be willing to cccxpt at tho present iuc. . i No arrangement having been 'arrived at by the parties concern cd, it is said that the mutter was dropped for tho timo being, or until Mr. Bourne should have re turned to Oregon. The alleged deal remains in statu quo; but now that tho Orcgonian is losing business and prestige throughout the state because of its attacks on tho primary hw and Statement One, it is presumed that the one million dollars would look pretty good to the publishers. ' Tho story is a good one if true, , ut tho Peoples Tress does not be lieve for a minute that even if it is true it has any connection with . the hammering the Senator is ' getting. However, when it is re membered that ex-Senator Wilson bought the Rattle Tost , Intelligencer to get otT the grid 'iron, it may not seem like a bad 'n'.ethod after all: Fort land Peo-; nls Press. I A Trip to Nestucca and Ocean Park Leaving our homes at C a. m. July 22nd, we go by way of St. Paul, cross the Willamette at the Thomas ferry, and spend the noon hour at the old city of Dayton, one of the oldest towns in Oregon. Dayton seems to be away behind the times as it has but very few first class buildings, and a great many old dilapidated shacks that are about to to tumble down. From Dayton wo travel all the rest of the day toward Ballston. Here we see the best of Ore gon's fine large farms, fine farm houses and the best roads we have driven over for a long time. We especially noticed the Broadmead Farm of several thousand acres, owned by the Ladds of Portland. Thi3 farm is one of the finest and largest in the state. Here is where the best Jersey cattle in Oregon can be seen. We arrived at Ballston at G p. m., after a drive of over 46 miles. Wecamp cd for the night in fine grove on tho banks of the Yamhill River. Leaving camp at all early hour, we resume our journey; We pas3 many team3 hdaded for the coast. Wc stop at tie thriving town of Sheridan.'which is the largest and finest city in Yamhill County and the shipping point for a large part of Polk, Yamhill and Tilla mook Counties. After purchas ing what supplies we need we travel part of the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation which is fast going to wreck. It seems a pity that as fine farms as have been here some day are not of any use, except to a few Indians and half- breeds. When the government had an agent there and before tho allotment of land was order ed, this must have been in a fine state of civilization, judging from appearances now. We ar rive at Toll Gate about noon and camp on the headwaters of Little Nestucca, where we get out oilr fishing tackle and catch some trout for supper. Next morning we drovo down the river ten miles and lay over six hours to give us lime to do some .fishing. Our party of.fourlbrougjit in.over 150 fine trout, several of, rwh.ich weighed nearly , two , pounds. After dinner we start for ( Ocan Park at; tho junction of Big . and Little Nestucca Rivers. , There were about GO tents there when wc arrived. , We were, disappoint ed hero as we were compelled to get a boat and cross the river and walk a milo through deep sand over to the beach. ., Hay Stack f Rock and tho Cape are about all there is to be seen at the beach. We visited the wreck of he lumber schooner which, was wrecked there two yearns ago. It is rapidly disappearing in , the sand and. will soon be completley buried. We also saw a part of one of the life boats of the Min nie K. Kclton that was abandon ed at sea and afterwards towed to Astoria where she now lies in the mud l1at4. vSiiridaycwjC.duga, few clams and had fried clams for dinner. Some people may like them, but, our party had po taste for t . this, deli-' cacv.'K If you think - they arc fino Just atk U. W. Zimmerman, who can give you a few pointers on how to eat clams. Wo met Mr. Harding and family, Mr. Ho wo and family and Emanuel King and wife, all of Barlow, who were camping at the Park. We had plenty of fresh salmon which we bought at five cents a pound and if bought in large quantities' could be had at three cents per pound and even less. Monday wo start for home. The toll road is fine but tho road across the Reservation to Wille- mina, Polk Co., is very rough. I We had pleasant tilp, but will' go to the meunVdns in preference to the ;oast hereafter. Geo. K.
