About Country Roads.

Now ina the people o; each road
district in Wallowa county has
elected lis road supervisor. it is be
,ieved that these men will fully ap-
preciate the Importance OF the
tris; that has been placed in their
hands.
Road making and repairing, as
al other industries, has made vast
improvements in the last few years
years in many portions OF the
United states, while in other parts
road work is carried on in the same
old fashion that prevailed fifty
years ago. By the old way vast
sums OF money and an infinite a
mount f labor are expended upon
roads TO little or no betterment OF
their condition. In winter and
spring they are but streaks OF mud
worked into perfect loblolly by
passing feet, and torn into exasper-
ating ruts by plunging wheels;
alter the dryer season sets in the
sun and wind dry up the mud to
leave the road only a perplexing
maze Of deep ruts, jolting clods
and chuckholes, to be followed lat
er by bed OF dust waiting for the
touch or breath OF wind to rise in
choking clouds to torment passing
man or beast.
These conditions are not only
disagreeable but expensive.
They levy heavy tribute upon
all farm produce by increasing the
cost OF moving it, and by their ex-
istance detract from the farms in
come and materially lessen the
value. OF his land,
This United States Agricultural
Department deeming good country
roads an indispensable adjunct to
the farm, has organized Bureau
for the special purpose OF "Public
Road Inquiries"
The present Congress appropriate
$4,000 to enable the Bureau to
gather information about country
road making, and tc distribute
that information among the people.
In addition to gathering and
publishing information among peo-
pie about road making and repair
ing, the Department will upon a
sufficient showing, send expert road
makers into the country to inspect
end give information to road su-
pervisors, as to the most approved
2nd cheapest means OF making and
l;eeping country roads in good con-
dition.
Any supervisors Of Wallowa
county who desire to learn about
the. latest and most approved way
.pf working roads will be furnished
with much valuable data, by ad-
dressing Maurice @ Eldridge, As
