PAVED ROAD WILL RE
DUCE FREIGHT RATE
The. following editorial ap
peared in the Herald March 23,
1917, as an argument in favor ol
the pood road bond issue which
was voted by the people of Ore
gon last June. Although the
people of Morrow county did not
favor the bond issue at that elec
tion they have since decided that
they want good roads and the
plan of votit g a special tax in
each of the road districts through
which the proposed Highway is
to pass, is to be voted upon next
Tuesday, November 20th. Since
the action of the State Highway
engineers in locating the pro
posed road on the water grade
down Willow Creek to the Co
lumbia river, the argumen: for a
pave! highway from the great
wheat fields of the interior of
Morro v county to the Columbia
river and the cheap water trans
portation which that stream will
afford has an tdded interest to
all producers and consumers in
the county. A paved road to the
river and water transportation to
the sea means relief from the
present heavy freight tolls to
which we are subjected by a one
road system of rail transporta
tion: ' One point in favor of the good
road bond proposition which
fihoulil not be overlooked is the
Immense value to the State that
a system of real roads will prove
to be in the matter of helping t(
reduce freight rates.
In thi.1 regard Morrow county
is so situated as to furnish an
exnmble of what a first-class
paved road would mean to a
wheat growing section With a
paved road leading from the
heart of the wheat-growing sec
tion of Morrow county direct to
the Columbia liver it would be
possible for th growers, through
tin- agency of motor- 'rocks, to
d, livf-r th ir tonnage o the river
locks at low cos or I aulago a d
secure thelene tof untor trans
port at ion t the sea. Fr.'ll t
rates from ti e inland Empire to
th- M-iil.oiiid are too hirf , aim
so ioi g as the interior of th
Counties Iioidi iii-g on the Col
umbia are tapped by branch
lines of the 0,W. K R & N.
'd without some other means ot
readin g the liver uithfnight,
no relief can reasonably be ex
pected, lb wt ve , nh a go J

Plays All Records
A Phonograph that can play but one make of records cannot
possibly furnish you with as much enjoyment as one which will play
any make of record.
The Brunswick plays all records. All makes. And plays, them as the com
posers and originators intended them to be played.' It adds much to your enjoyment
without additional cost.
