The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1902-10-18

County Judge Waters returned
Thursday from several days attend
ance on the good Good Roads Con.
wention held this week in Portland
under the auspices of the Good
Roads com mission sent out by the
general government. The commits
sion in its. visits to the various
states of the Union, usually takes
along ten carloads of machinery
and appliances for use in making to
the conventions demonstrations of
eEae methods making best
roads out of material at
hand. This outfit was not
brought to Portland on account of
the season of the year, but was left
zn Utah, where it was last used.
Ut is to come to Portland next year
when another Good Roads conveu-
aion will be held.
Nearly every county in Oregon
was represented in the late conven-
ton, usually by the county judge,
but in some instances by the whole
court. AS result a permanent
organization, was affected, and
much enthusiasm aroused.
In a practical way, the commits
sion set forth the fact of how to
build best roads. The first princi-
pei laid down was that drainage
anust be established. Next that
where earth is thrown up it must
be thoroughly packed with roller.
Next that crushed rock is necessa-
ny for perfect road. In adding
crushed rock to a suitably prepar-
ed foundation there must be layer
of large rock, firmly packed by roll
ing. Then layer of smaller rock,
likewise packed by rolling. Then
q layer of rock siftings or sand,
sprinkled with water, and rolled.
Gravel may be used in road build
ing, but the commission declares
crushed rock to be far better.

The Copy Habit.

The New York Sun" says:
Much discussion has arisen in regard
to the curious similarity of three stories
published within the last year. Charles
McLean's An Exploded Theory" ir the
BLACK Cat" Frank Norris THE Pass
ing OF Cock eye Blackjack" in the Cen
tury." and Jack London's "A Mortal
Antipathy." in the "Argonaut." all tell
substantially the same story and place
the scene on the Pacific slope.
The coincidence is amusing. but hard
~ merits the comment it has excited,
and the "Argonaut' is probably correct
in surmising that the incident actually
happened, was told. and by chance
reached the ears of three men who saw
in it good copy.
Several years ago a Western girl came
to New York and told a good Western
story at dinner at which four of the
writer guild were present. Within a
few months the story was published al
most simultaneously in two magazines
over the names of two of the quartet.
and the other two men owned up 10
having written the story, but failed TO
