GOOD ROADS IN OREGON.

1t will always be in order to dis
cuss the question of good roads SO
long as more of them are needed and
the best means of getting them and
keeping them in repair are not fully
agreed upon, says the Spokesman
Review. No state can avail itself of
its resources to the greatest advan
tage without the best sort of common
highways for easy intercommunica-
tion and transportation of products.
In agricultural com mmunities this i
especially true. Good roads are as
essential to highly successful and
profitable farming as are a rich soil
and favoring climate.
The matter of road building has
received a good deal of attention In
this state, not only from the legisla-
ture, which at every session has at
tempted to improve our road laws,
but from people who have made an
effort to bring their. country thor
oughfares up to higher stage of
perfection. 1t will therefore be O.
interest to note what Improvement
in the way of road supervision has
been attained in Oregon through the
trial of a new system of superintend-
ence of county highways.
The reports from Pendleton are to
the effect that the roads of the sur
rounding district were never in
better condition, and it is to be ac.
counted for in the Inauguration by
the county court of new program
by which the old and often neglected
duties of the former road district
supervisors are turned over to q
general roadmaster who has charge
of all the public highways in the
county. He is vested with consider.
able authority and if repairs are
needed, he makes an inspection like
the roadmaster of railway and al
once prepares to remedy defects and
put the road in good condition. Ht
IS enabled to do this expeditiously
for the reason that cash road tax ii
at his disposal and he is not com
PEELED to resort to the perfunctorJ
work of adjacent owners who wer,
formerly allowed to meet the ta2
with shiftless and ill-directed labo
on their roads.
So far, the plan has worked ad
mirably and the people are pleased
with 1T. 1t has quickly bIough
about a general Improvement o
highways throughout the country ant
the people of both town and country
are likely to be benefited by tn
easier and. better communication
that has followed the adoption O
the new system. If 1t is success il
Oregon, it should be practicable else
where and those interested in gooc
roads and desirous of malntainin,
them can well afford to inyestigat
the workings Of the new plan wh,cl
seems to have been so highly sue
cessfu,.
