Aurora, Or., Thursday, Aug, 6, 1903
The tremenduous rise in stocks
and bonds is a good indication of
returning prosperity. 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-;

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.
