PORTLAND WOULD GIVE
IDLE WORKMEN JOB
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 22. The
ways and means committee of the
city council today conferred with
Mayor Rushlight in an endeavor to
dovlso means of furnishing work for
the hundreds of Idlo men hero during
tho winter.
REPOKTS mado by tho county engineer's office show
$207,86.1 spent in 1911 up to December 1 upon roads
and highways by Jackson county. As $10,000 of this
amount was raised by public subscription for the Orator
Lake highway, the actual expenditures of the count v were
$1.97,861.
Of this amount $67,388 was spent under Engineer
Harmon in highway construction. The six now, bridges
built during the year cost $40,b07. For new road building
machinery, $32,582 was spent. The supervisors of the
twelve county districts spent in addition $57,282, mostly
temporary repair work that will have to be done over
again next year.
Jackson county has the host road building equipment
oi any county in the state, and is building macadam roads
at a lower cost than any county. The Ashland road, 16
feet wide. 14 inches of crushed rock,, cost $3995 per mile,
me ruciv ueiug moved an average nam ol one mile at a
cost per cubic yard of rock in place, $1.28.
The Ross Lane road. 12 feet wide, 10 inches of crushed
rock, cost $3223 per mile, with an average length of haul
of 5.1 miles, at a cost per cubic yard of rock in place, $1.56.
The Desert road, 12 feet wide, 10 inches of rock, cost
$5226 per mile, the average haul being 1.5 miles, the cost
per cubic yard of rock in place being 2.97. The high cost
of this road was due to the poor quarry, the rock being
in uouiders.
The Prospect road, not surfaced, cost $1341 per mile,
the Derb road $2267 per mile and the Reese creek road
$142.9 per mile.
The upper Rogue river bridge at the mouth of Big
Butte cost $8285. The lower bridge at the Dodge place
cost $12,185. The Big Butte bridge cost $3182, the Ioots
creek bridge $1225, the Central Point bridjre. rebuilt.
$4-198 and the Gold Hill bridge $11,232.
lhe county supervisors spent as follews: Geo James,
district 1, $4722; S. G. Van Dvke, district 2, $6713; A.
Throckmorton, third district, $275S; II. L. Gregorv, fourth
district, $S963: O. Carter, district 5, $6628; Thos.'Stanlcv,
district 6, $2101; Ed Higginbotham, district 7, $3251; D.
W. Sturgis, district 8, $2394; G.Lvmnii, district 9, $2608;
W. P. Garrett (special tax), district 10, $7614; J. AY.
Hayiies, district 11, $6194; Jim Fredcnberg, district 12,
$3330.
Each supervisor spends his allowance as he sees fit,
resulting m many styles of roads. Here would seem to be
a chance of reform. All work might be done under the
engineer's jurisdiction. The supervisors, instead of being
so many road builders working independently, might with
advantage be under central authority and work along well
defined and systematic lines.
In the year of 1910, the sum of $71,286 was spent in
new road construction, or a larger amount than was spent
in the same class of work this year. Owing to the meth
ods' prevailing at that time, it is difficult to secure accur
ate data regarding cost of road building prior to the
present year.
The general result of the year's work is creditable to
tho county court and to Engineer Harmon. Crushed rock
has been moved at a minimum cost. Six miles of perma
nent macadamized highway has been constructed; twenty
two miles of unsurfaced road, besides that constructed by
the supervisors. Three new steel bridges span the Rogue
and one the Big Butte. New sections have been made
accessible and nearly every section benefited thereby.
New equipment places the county in a, position to carry
on the work still cheaper another year.

A SIGH, of relief from all over the state follows the
decision of Judge Galloway in making permanent the
injunction enjoining the secretary of state from filing the
referendum petitions against the state university appro
priation. The bulk of the signatures were fraudulent and
the court held that the whole procedure was so tainted
with fraud that no court in equity could attempt to sift
the true from the false.
Facts brought out during the hearing show that the
referendum had its origin in spite entertained by Cottage
Grove citizens against the city of Eugene for opposing the
proposed creation of Nesmith county.
Had the referendum come to a, vote it would undoubt
edly have met defeat in the state, as the previous referen
dum did some years ago, for despite the mossback opposi
tion to higher education, voiced by that cultured tory, the
Oregonian, the progressive people of Oregon arc in the
majority. But it would have entailed hard work and se
riously embarrassed the university.
Oregon can afford to support its university liberally
and so build up a great institution that the state will be
proud of. Invoking the referendum for spite by fraud is
a rank abuse of privilege.
