WEST IS FIRM
FRIEND ROADS
Governor's Stronn Endorsement of
Belter Highways Move Finds
Favor With ePopic Good Roads
Now Seem to Be Assured.
Governor West's strong indorse
ment of the Reed roads cause in his
jucsngo to the legislature lias given
the better highways movement .tre
mendous encouragement and
si length.
"We may .sins the btnle's praises u.
the sky and spend a fortune in ad
vertising; our resources to attract
homefteekers and settlers," said Gov
ernor West," but we will have but
little succeos unless we can point to
some movement toward the construc
tion of Reed roads over .which the
pioduct of the farm may be handled
to nuirkeU
"Realizing how greatly the state
was in need of good roads, and thai
through our slip-shod methods ol
road patching thousands of dollars
of the people' money was buiup
Mltumdcrcd annually, a number 01
our public spirited citizens through
their organization, the Oregon Good
Koads association, have thorough!
investigated the whole question ol
road building and I understand will
.submit to your consideration a num
ber of bills which embody their views,
and recommendations in the matter.
Knowing that their recommendation.
are being prompted solely by an ear
nest desire to see this state grid
ironed by the bust system of high
ways in the world, and at the least
posible cost to the taxpayers 1 asl
that the whole question he kindly
given the niot careful consideration
by you.'
With Governor West's support ha.
hpen joined the promises of many
legislatures that they will support tin
good roads cause and the bills thai
have been framed to meet the guo.
loads construction need.
Oregon good roads advocates ivic
bending the strength of their united
iutluence to secure adoption of five
highway measures now pending be
fore the legislature. These bills,
made law, will set into motion am.
make posible a good roads cam
paign in every county that will iv
siilt in actual miles of road built
lint the plans formulated by the Ore
gon Good Koads association contem
plate more than road building, t!io
are intended to aid in (he building
of better homes, better schools, ant;
to uinko farm work pay better.
The unit system of road hui!din
is recommended for every county.
This means that each county nidci
by the state will' construct it) owii
highway system in the way most
Jieeded by that particular county.
The state highway commissioner,
whose services are to be rendered
under the state highway board, will
advise as to best methods while at
the same time relating and connect
ing the better built highway system
of one county to those adjoining so
that the ultimate result will be a
state-wide system. This unit system
has been found most effective and
satisfactory in other states.
PRINCETON MAY AGAIN
PLAY BALL WITH CORNELL
PRINCETON, X. J., Jan. 10.
Princeton, which has not played Cor
nell since the Tigers were defeated b
the Ithacans in 11)07 may tackle its
ancient foe again during the coming
season. Negotiations are now n.
progress for the game, which, if thc.x
arc successfully concluded, will meai.
that the Tigers will have the hardest
schedule they have played in main
years. Princeton will meet Harvaid
Yale and Dartmouth, and the result
of the series, it is believed, will come
nearer to determining the real cl.uun
pions of the gridiron than any series
since tho last game of the Tigers
with the New York state team.

IRRIGATION IS
SOUGHT IN PASS
Failing to Obtain Water From Cor
porations People of Grants Pass
Have Taken Matter Into Their
Own Hands.
GRANTS PASS, Jan. 1C The
people of this district, falling to get
Irrigation from corporations, have
resolved to take the business In their
own hands and have commenced to
organize under the laws of Oregon
an Irrigation district. The Joseph
ine County Irrigation and Power
company has taken the Initial step
and as soon as Engineer Hall out
lines tho territory to lie taken Into
tho district a petition will be circu
lated to secure the names desired.
The Investigations to be made by the
engineer are quite extensive and Im
portant, requiring considerable time.
It will be necessary to find out ex
actly every piece of land that can be
put under the ditch. This must be
Jono In order to find out who will
be entitled to vote on the question of
organization.
The citizens of this city and the
entire surrounding country are
deeply Interested in the question of
Irrigation and they havo resolved to
wait no longer for private capital to
supply cither water or ditches. The
law points out clearly the manner
of organizing and the fact that other
ommunlties have found tho Irriga
tion district a success induces our
ncoplo to have faith In such an ef
fort, it will take only a few weeks
to go through all tho steps to com
pete tho organization nnd when that
Is done they will have their own rcp
esontatlves to carry forward the
.vork of not only ditch building but
tho construction of a daw at such
ilaco as may be selected by tho of
'icers of the iMstiict.
Tho directors and officers of tho
ocal Irrigation company are doing
ill In their power to forward this
Movement so as to get It Into tho
hands of the people at tho earliest
losslblo date.

Kort Hubbard, of tho firm of Hub

a few nights ago. Ho was going to

and went his way. Tho next morn
ing ho found tho horse about a mile
above Brownsboro.
I am requested by Mrs. Coy and
family to extend their thanks to
the neighbors and friends who assist
ed thorn during the sickness and af
ter tho "death of her husband.
Mrs. Ed Tucker of Brownsboro

The Death of
THE OWNER
Enables us to offer what we honestly believe is the best
bargain in a producing orchard in the Valley. There are
3f acres in the tract and it is only a mile from a shipping
station.
There are about 11 acres in apples, Ben Davis, "Wincsaps,
Spitzenbergs, Newtowns. Trees are about liO years old.
They are in good condition and produce heavily.
There are also about 12 acres in standard varieties of
peaches, in full bearing. About 8000 crates of poaches
were shipped from this orchard last year.
There are also 8 acres planted to Newtown apples, which
were three years' old this winter.
The balance of the land is cleared and was in grain bust
year.
Tho buildings consist of a house, barn and packing
house.
We think a reasonable estimate of the crop on this place
this coming year would be 3000 to '1000 boxes of apples and
6000 to 8000 crates of peaches.
A team of horses and a full equipment of machinery goes
wtih the place.
' The price is $15,000, a trifle more than $J00 an acre. The
terms asked are half cash, balance easy. If you cannot
meet these terms as to the cash required, make us an offer.
