BKTTKK HO.UW.
Mr. Editor: I want to second Mr.
Scott's suggestion about experiment
ing with a mile of road. I think
this is the best suggestion I have seen
or heard on the road problem.
Some of us believe that the oil w ill
be the final solution of better roads
in Morrow county. If the oil is put
on early enough in the Spring while
the ground is thoroughly wet, so that
it might pack and the ground not dry
out under the oil.
Some of us have lived in countries
where all the roads are oiled, In a
similar soil as we have here and au
thorities after experimenting with all
kinds of road, find that the oiled
road is the best proposition. Let
them properly grade and oil one mile
of public road between here and Lex
ington and it is my belief that it will
demonstrate beyond the least shadow
of a doubt, that it Is the cheapest and
most permanent road that can be
built in Morrow county.
If you will open the columns of
your paper to a free discussion of
the road problem, I believe it will
contribute more to arousing an In
terest in good roads in Morrow coun
ty. I saw the statement that the coun
ty commissioners would spend $30,
000 annually on the roads in Morrow
county. In twenty years at this rate
they will have expended $600,000.
If half of this could lie spent on the
roads of Morrow county in the next
two years, the interest and upkeep
of the roads for the next twenty years
would be so small that it could be
paid back from the present assess
ment for roads, and in this way we
would have good roads instead of
poor onts, for the next twenty years
without a greater cost to the people.
If this matter could be discussed
freely and put up to the people of
Morrow county, I believe they would
gladly vote the bonds. Wishing to
hear from others, I am, Yours truly,
TAXPAYER,
C. E. Jones, Eight Mile farmer, and
inventor of the Jones Weeder, was in
town several days this week looking
after business. He is greatly pleased
over the present crop outlook in his
section and is looking forward to a
fine yield of grain. Proper weather
conditions from this on and the Eight
Mile wheat belt should produce a
very fair crop.
Theodore Anderson, of Eight Mile,
brought In a consignment of eggs
, yesterday, which he disposed of at
ijtock Loss Is Great.
William Bennett, who was here
from Silvies valley Wednesday, states
that rabid coyotes are causing the loss
of much stock in the valley. In one
field near his home he stated that he
had counted 20 dead thoroughbred
cattle, which had died from the
effects of the rabies. Blue Moun

In order to a.-sist Hie fanners of

intendent and the county agricultur
ist. Eugene Register.

per" came along and took the hook.

sistant managing editor of the Phila

"Its the finest wheat I have seen
this year," said Andy Hayes, of the
Heppner Milling Company warehouse
this week in speaking of a trip made
out north of Lexington. The wheat
referred to by Mr. Hayes is that on
the ranch of Frank and Jeff Evans.
Mr. Hayes believes that this wheat
is bound to make a fine crop. He
says that crop prospects In that sec
tion are very good at this time.

fine feed for fattening.

Portland, April 27. Sixteen of the

the new national playground, the
other scenic wonders of Montana,

It Is Not a Joke.
To my many patrons it may have
occurred that my request for CASH
Is a joke. It Is not. I am compelled
to pay cash for my stuff; am getting
government inspected beef from Port
land and it is cash for every ship
ment. I certainly appreciate the
splendid trade you have given me and
am trying my best to accommodate
you. Our interests are mutual, but
please do not ask for credit at the
People's Cash Market.
