Communication on Road Question.
Editor Glacier; It was a source of
pleasure and satisfaction to read your
i i . ; ill
editorial in me isbub oi vciouer it, con
cerning the good roads movement. So
far as can be ascertained it was by far
the best contribution on the subject
outside of the metropolitan papers. As
you say, it seems strange that those who
are most anecteu Dy wio uaa rouus are
among the slowest to come to the sup
port of a good roads movement.
There was one point evidently over
looked in the article, however, that I
would like to have brought to the atten
tion of the public. In speaking of the
present road laws, it is suggested that a
radical change in them is necessary be
fore any amount of good can be accom
plished. The change suggested is that
the property tax should be collected in
cash instead of being worked out. A
little history will apply here, During
the session of the state legislature in
1893, lion. 11. E. Cross, a senator from
Clackamas county, led an effort to have
8 cash road law passed providing for a
change throughout the state. Though
failing in this because of lack of popular
support, he did succeed in passing a law
which gave authority to the county
court of each county to order the change
from the old to the cash system and col
lect both the property road tax and the
poll tax in cash, but to levy not more
than a five-mill tax for this purpose.
(See Session Laws 1893, page 60.) The '
several courts were ruled by the public
sentiment of their counties so the failure
to take advantage of this opportunity
was the fault not of the law but of the
road-tra eling public. Clackamas and
Multnomah counties took advantage of
the law at once and heartily supported
the effort for improvement. At no time
since the system was thoroughly tested
would the people have consented to
change back to the old way. After the
demonstration of the success of the idea,
some other counties adopted the change.
Public opinion throughout the state
had so far changed during the 8 years
that in 1901 a law was passed requiring
the adoption of the cash system by all
the counties in the state, and extended
the limit of the special levy to 10 mills,
but leavine it ootional with the countv
court to collect the poll tax in cash or
labor. (See Session Laws 1901, pages
105,108.) JNo doubt some changes could
yet be made for the better, but the great
need now is not legislation but the cum
vatiou of public opinion togive all possi
ble encouragement to this endeavor to
benefit both the state and the indivKl
ual. In some backwoods communities
the adoption of this svstem meets with
opposition, as do all advance steps in
the path ot progress, but there, as else'
where, it will all disappear as soon as
the benehts are realized. Of course,
even with popular support for the move
ment, incompetent and "machine"
courts may so conduct the road work as
to result in actual injury to the roaus, to
say nothing of the squandering of the
money, breat care should be exercised
in the selection of the members of the
county court, for they are the pilots to
guide us to the desired haven, or strand
us on the rocks of failure.
Clackamas county has built about 100
miles of modern roads, besides keeping
the remainder of the roads in the county
in as good condition as under the old
law, as a result of the change permitted
by the Cross law of 1893. I he idea fol
lowed, is to start at the central points
and build as much as possible each year
on the main thoroughiares nrst, then on
those next in rank, until the whole of
the county shall be covered, at the same
time allowing no part of the county to
sutler neglect, llie most ot this work
has been done by clearing and properly
grading the roadway and macadamizing
or graveling the central track, though
where rock or gravel cannot be obtained,
substantial plank roads have been built.
Let the people of each community
Study and intelligently support the
good roads movement, elect judicious,
experienced and honest courts and road
supervisors, and we shall not always
nave to wallow through the mud, even
here in Wasco county. Respectfully
yOUrS, A ULACKAM ASITK,
Fraudulent Timber Entries In Oregon.
Washington, October 28. The secre
tary of the interior has just received
positive evidence of extensive frauds be-
ing perpetrated in Oregon under the
timber and stone act, whereby certain
persons are seeking to acquire absolute
control ol the richest timber lands in
the public domain in that state. The
most flagrant violations of the law have
occurred in the Kosebnrg, Lakeview
and Dalles land districts. According
to the secretary's advices people are
being shipped into these districts by car
loaus and are immediately entering the
forested lands under the timber and
stone act. In other instances large
tracts are being denuded of their timber
by parties who are doing assessment
work on what they assert to be mineral
developments. There is strong proof
that a large number of these alleged
mineral locations are on non-mineral
land and have teen made purely for the
purpose of acquiring the timber. When
this is accomplished they are abandoned.
So positive and convincing is the evi
dence now in the secretary's hands that
immediate jteps are to be taken to pros
ecute every one of the fraudulent entry
men. Asa first step in this direction
Secretary Hitchcock today ordered that
all entries in Oregon under the timber
and stone act be suspended pending spe
cific investigation, and directed that each
timber entrvman be served with a no
tice lo show cause why his entry should
not be canceled. If, during this suspen
sion, any entrvman attempts to cut or
remove timber from the tract sought by
him, he will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.
The ordered investigation will include
the land offices at Roseburg, The Dalles
and Lakeview to determine w hether or
not they have been in collusion with the
perpetrators of the extensive frauds.
The department some time ago pre
pared blanks upon which was to betaken
testimony of witnesses in all entries
made under the timber act, and these
blanks were sent in large numbers to
every land office in the United States.
It was noticed that in returns from Ore
gon offices testimony was not submitted
on regulation blanks, and manv vital
questions and answers w hich were in
tended to show the good faith or the
illegal purpose of the entrvman were
omitted each time. The land officers
assert that they never received the
blanks, but all other offices experienced
no such inconvenience, tiecause of the
coincidence of the failure of the blanks
to show np and the immediately ensuing
. flood of timber entries, mostly of a q ues
tionable nature, the department feels
that a thorough investigation must be
held to establish the status of t lie land
offices in question.
Oue of the land offices under investiga
tion reported cash receipts for limber
and stone entries for the quarter ended
September 30exceediti; those of the pre
ceding quarter by over $100,000 and an
other office reported an excess of more
than $'100,000 for the saniequarter. ' For
the whole of the last fucal year the
Lakeview district returned onl'y $11,197
from sales of timber and stone lands;
Roseburg returned $71,457 and the The
Dalles $5,752.
While it will be easy to reach the
fraudulent entrymen under the timber
aud stone act, it is more dithcuit to pros
ecute fraudulent mineral entrymen, but
adequate' steps have been provided to
investigate each alleged mineral entry,
and in cases where timber is being cut
from alleged mineral claims upon which
no mineral exists prosecutions win
follow.
The opinion seems to prevail in the
department that if the local land offices
are innocent of all collusion, they have
been decidedly negligent in notdetecting
evidence of fraud loug before they be
came apparent at Washington and were
confirmed by investigation. While the
precautionary steps being taken will
save to the government hundreds of
thousands of dollars in timber lands, it
will yet temporarily retard the timber
development of the state, as bona fide
entries will be suspended along with the
others.
A rather serious runaway accident oc
curred last Saturday. While
C.A. Learn
ing, Walter Learning, and U. O. Dyer
were coming uown uie urn uy me j. u.
Wright place, where recent rains had
made the roads vervslippery.and the wag
on crowded upon the team which became
unmanageable and started to run.throw
ing the driver, C. A. Learning, out upon
a pile of rocks when part way down the
hill, badly bruising one of his legs and
cutting his face in numerous places.
Walter Learning and Mr.Dyer remained
in the wagon until the bottom of the
lull was reached, wnen iney nurneuiy
left the vehicle, in company with the
spring seat, as the horses rounded a
curve. Mr, Dyer sustained a fractured
wrist when they landed, but Walter had
nothing to complain of except that a
large amount of soil became very much
attached to him. The team ran until
it reached the timber this side of J. I.
Miller's where they distributed the wag
on over a considerable portion of Chas.
Rathburn'8 place and were found un
hurt shortly afterward by Voyl Lindsay.
J. E. Binns brought the victims of the
accident to town where they received
proper medical attention, but they will
be unable to work for some time.
Runaways seem to be coming into
fashion. Sunday evening, so we are in
formed. C. C. Smith and Henry Fuller
started with a lively team for Belmont
to attend church. At the top of the
hill they managed in some way to break
a tug, and turned around to drive back
for repairs. Coming down the hill the
lads lost control of the team which at
once proceeded to give them an enter
tainment worth the price of admission.
They came down the hill like a toboggan,
unloaded the passenaers between sta
tions and broke all the rules of good
railroading by making a complete wreck
of the rolling stock. The young men,
fortunately, were unhurt save a few
abrasions of the cuticle on that part of
Mr. Fuller's anatomy that the tonsorial
artists charge 15 cents to renovate, and
there being irresistable attractions in
the pleasant neighborhood of Belmont,
the gentlemen, learning a lesson of cau
tion from their experience, hied them to
one of our livery barns, and selecting the
most sober, quiet, old family driving
team in the stable, with a gait like a
plow team, once more started to
church.
A pointer indicating the value of Hood
River property is the deal made by G.
S. Smith this week, when he traded two
acres of our strawberry land and $75
for the J. J. Miller ranch of 90 acres,
on which is an orchard of 300 bearing
fruit trees, four and five years old, and
which is situated in Klickitat county,
Washington. Mr. Smith is to be con
gratulated on thus securing a good piece
of property which will eventually make
him a fine home. We understand he
intends to move over soon and identify
himself with the Klickitats. Auf wie
dersehen, George.
Everybody gets to go hunting except
the poor devil, but then people think
there is no rest for the wicked. This
time it was Burns JoneB, A. C. Stuten
and Mr. l.oozier.who took a week's hunt
up in Sherman county, and rounded up
a whole wagon load (?) of geese. If all
of them were as'fine and tender as the
one Mr. Staten seat the p. d. for his Sun
day dinner, there was a world of good
chewing in the bunch they captured.
The p.d. extends his thanks to Mr.Staten
for his specimen of the genus anas Cana
densis. Did you see the snow on the hills
across the Columbia last Monday morn
ing? If vou didn't, it was because you
didn't happen to look in that direction
tor there was plenty oi it, mere ana ii
lasted most of the day. This is a gentle
reminder that winter is near at hand
and that we should make our prepara
tions without delay and be found ready.
Later You didn't have to look over in
to Washington to see snow Thursday
morning. This time the hint was
brought home to us with greater force.
Two young ladies of this community
have taken unto themselves a compan
ion to. comfort and cheer them on their
journey of life and the remarkable part
of it is that, being twins, they have
both chosen the same one and expect lo
live happily together hereafter. lhe
young ladies are Misses Urpha and
Andry Markley and the fortunate one is
a handsome piano. Congratulations are
in order, and it is hoped that their
friends may ever be able to testify to
the harmony produced by the happy
union. .

II. M. Wood spent a few days of last
week on his old stamping ground near
Corvallis. He is commuting on his
homestead there and will soon have his
patent. He reports that part of the
country as being prosperous and pro
gressive. The towns, especially Corval
lis, are doing a great deal of building,
which shows that ours is not the only
community that's thriving.
There was a serious accident in the
family of J. E. llanna last Monday.
One of the' little ones suffered a broken
leg. The services of Dr. Dumble were
secured and the limb was promptly and
properly splinted. The little one now
goes about on three legs. We are sorry
we can't give its name, but if your dog
comes home carrying one leg in a sling
you will know where to go to have it re
paired. Miss Kate Gribble of Mount Hood,

parties of the whole season, airs. h,. I).
Calkins wanted some carpet rags sewed,
and making tins an excuse, sent out

manipulators ot the needle:
Mrs. E. D. Calkins, Mrs. S. Coplin,

Mrs. Win. Ebv, Mrs. W. Dicken,
Mrs. C. F. Woolsev, Mrs. J. Forbes,
Mrs. N. Nasmitho, Mrs. D. Garrabrant
Mrs. D. N. Bvorlee.
There is no telling w hat would have
happened if all the guests had been able
to put in an appearance, who were in
vited; but those who came evidently
enjoyed the occasion thoroughly. There
were two prizes awarded one for sew.

rags that were not sewed, to Mrs. C. F.

The Useful Kuowtciluv Society.
The reading club nrjanized bv the
teachers met at Professor Thompson's
home last Friday evening, The literary
part of the evening's work was a general
discussion of "flow to study Shake
speare." Many excellent suggestions
were made on this subject and an inter
esting collection of favorite quotations
were given. The following plan of work
was adopted. At each meeting of the
club, the first 30 minutes isto be devoted
to the discussion of current events, led
by a member appointed by the president
at the previous meeting. The next hour
and a half will be spent in the study
and discussion of some author and his
productions. One member is to be de
tailed ateach meeting to prepare a paper
on the author's life and another to re
view the same author's productions.
Each member is to he prepared by pre
vious study and reading to discuss'intel
ligently the various features and char
acteristics of the author's works as well
as to give the favorite quotation. The
meetings are to be held the first and
third Monday evenings of each month
at the homes of the members. The
membership, therefore, could not be al
lowed to become too large and the limit
has been fixed at 21.
The next meeting was held on Mon
day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Truman Butler. F. B. Barnes led the
discussion of current, events, which
proved very interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Butler gave an outline of the life
of the author for the evening, Oliver
Wendell Holmes, and Truman Butler
reviewed the works and characteristics
of the same. Discussion, readings and
quotations took up the remainder of the
allotted time. The. adoption of a name
was then taken up and niter a spirited
contest the club selected "The Useful
Knowledge Society." ft was decided
that if any memlier should be absent
from two successive meetings without
an excuse acceptable Pi Uie society, his
or her place shall be declared vacant
and the vacancy tilled by an election
from among the applicants for admission
to the society, 'lhe nest meeting will
be held at the home of Kev. and Mrs.
Hershner. The author under consider
ation is James Russell Lowell.
