Can t get to It, or if you do, j by making It Kulwervient to the supe You have discussed good roads and you have cussed the bad ones now in use. You have ad mitted that the proposed highway is of all importance.to us. Now what are you going to do about it? Are you going to wish forjtj cr work for it? ' The question has been asked you are disgusted before you get there with bad roads. Having had some experience with the soils of this country, I believe it is one of the best under the sun for mixed farming and stock. But with poor roads, we are shut off from market, and how can a farmer sell what he raises withouta market? With a down-hill shoot to an open river, there is no reason why we can't have an outlet All that is needed is for the people to get together and put their shoulders to the wheel and w-e will have a highway.

Does this include YOU? , our present system, if you can call it a system, we will never have good roads. Farmer No. 2. What Do i You Think. The Courier.has been favored during the past twd weeks with several interesting articles on good roads,1 which we were glad to print. The Courier is in favor of good roads; good schools or any other improvement that will develop Oregon, - and is always pleased to receive contributions along thisjine. - The press is ex pected to advocate the advance ment of the country, and it is in deed an inspiration to know that our readers are taking such an interest .in the good roads move ment.
