GOOD ROAD TAX.
tM. S. shrock in Pacific Homestead.l

(sf. s Shrock in Pacific Homestead1
"In a general way the roads in
Eastern Oregon are not difficult to
improve. The soil in most cases
packs well and, if properly drained
and rolled, the roads would last for
years with very little work. Ifthe
water in Winter and Spring is al
lowed to stand in pools in the mid
die of the road or is allowed to run
lengthwise OF the wagon tracks for
several hundred yards the road
does not improve with age.
"If the road graders we're brought
into play little more and every
bit of road we'll rounded up and
then thoroughly packed by using
a heavy roller the result would be
an agreeable surprise to the land
owners and freighters.
"The roller is, think, a vital
necessity in making good roads and
the time is not far distant when
each county, if not each road dis
trict, will have o steam roller of no
less than ten tons weight. | am glad
to know that some of the counties
already have them. Without the
roller the ground does not pack
alike over the whole width of the
road nor does it pack sufficiently
to exclude the water.
"If o rut is filled with loose dirt
and allowed to pack by the regular
process of travel it will only last
until the next wet spell. Either
the rut will be filed too full and
water will accumulate on the up
per hillside or the rut will be filled
about even with the balance of the
road and the heavily loaded wag-
ons will compress it until it forms,
with the next shower, larger mud
hole than the previous one.
"A much better and safer plan
would be 10 use the grader and fill
all depressions then roll thorough

One matter in which the best ef-
forts of every farmer member

portage road at Cello, for to no
other class viii such great benefit
accrue from the completion OF that
improvement as to the farmers and
stockmen of the eastern section OF
the state. No matter from what
section of the state a farmer has
been elected he should urge and
vote for the immediate construct
ton of the portage because it is a
measure in which the farmers, as a
class, are vitally interested Any
other action on the part of the far

short Of treason to his class.

II have seen gravel hauled long
distances at great expense and
dumped into mndholes in the road
when il might as well have been
dumped into the river. 1t is time
wasted TO put gravel ON any road
until the rosdsed has FIRST been
brought TO the propeI shape and
thoroughly packed so as to form a
firm foundation for the gravel to
rest upon. No gravel can pack
and form hard, smooth surface as
long as the soil beneath il gives OF

is proper grading aud an everlast-

"Roller-laid gravel roads are thus
made in some Of the eastern states
that are almost an exact counter

wearing xualities are unlimited.
After the road bed has been thor
oughly prepared the gravel is put
on in two or three thin layers and
each layer is thoroughly rolled.
with the exception Of few
places the roads of Eastern Oregon
do not need the gravel as the dirt

the requirements through gravity
system and contracts have been
entered into and money paid calls
for the most thorough investiga
ton OF what is known as the OteTo
deal. The FIRST report under this
head should be complete outline
OF the plan as begun by the old
council. Mr. McNeen might be
asked to come before this COM
mittee and explain it, or COM
miiiee CT one be appointed to
secure the facts. We recommend
the former. Towards carrying
out the above plan the city has
entered into an agreement with
the Otero Canal. We recommend
that a committee OF three be ap
pointed to report on this agree
ment, covering the following:
What the canal agrees to do and
the consideration; what the city
agrees to do and the consideration;
the ability OF each to fulfill its con
tract, and its legality; what each
has done towards carrying out its
agreement, and any other infor
nation on the subject the com
mittee may wish TO use.
tourth-Two things which the
city has done towards carrying out
its plan and contract require our
attention, VIZ: The purchase OF
water rights. and the bond issue OF
81 DO, 600. We recommend that
two committees OF three each
be appointed to repor, re
spectively, on these two Questions.
The report OF the committee on
waite, rights should show: Mum
ber OF feet contracted for; date OF
priority and cost per foo, deliver
ed; amount alrea1y paid on the
contracts, and when the options
will expire; legal difficulties to
be overcome IN moving the water,
and any other matter pertaining to
the subject the committee may
wish to introduce.
Fifth The report OF the COM
mi,tee on the bond issue should
give, the amount issued, rate OF
interest, and lime to run, what
has been done towards selling
these bonds, and prospects of sale; /;
their legality and the options that
have been given on this point
This committee should procure
these opinions and any other mat
ter on the subject which In ,he
mind OF the committee should be
introduced.
The committees sppoIIied IN

the sub committee are as follows: /:

Simontou At meeting held last
Friday night the sub committee
appointed TO outline the work to
be covered reported as follows:
First-Besinning at the founda
tion OF the matter the first question
to answer is: Is the present system
meeting the requirements OF the
town at present, or is II gong to
do so in the future Can the
present system be extended to
meet the growing needs OF the
town. We recommend that a
committee OF three be appointed
to secure the facts covering these
two points and that their report
include the following: An ipven
tory OF the entire plant, its cost
and present value; utility OF the
plant in furnishing water for
domestic purpose, for irrigation,
and for fire profection; annual
cost OF operation and maintenance;
IL capable OF extension, the source
of supply and its eAtent; the first
cost, and then the annual cost OF
operation and maintenance, and
any other facts and information
the committee may secure.
Second-We believe that a dis.
cussion OF other systems would be
profitable. aad a comparison OF
them with the present system
would not he out of place. This
would cover a consideration OF the
gravity system IN general and ITS
application to La Junta in particu-
lar. We recommend a committee
of three for this. The report
should cover the subject OF reser-
voirs and water rights, their cost,
utility, value. and application to
La Junts, and such other informa
ton IS they may think best
