and would remain so. so lorg as Jose
phine county was blockaded winter
and summer with roadless roads, as
he tersely called them. Good roads
would be the means of bringing
prosperity to Rogue River Valley as
no other one factor would do. O. L.
Mangum, president of the Grants
Pass Miners Association, under whose
auspices the convention was held,
then greeted the men who had come
such distances to carry the gospel of
good roads to a region that is as
sorely in need of highways as any
other section of the United States.
The mining industry. destined to
make of Southern Oregon one of the
most prosperous and wealthiest Sec
tions of the Pacific Coast, was handi-
capped most heavily by the heavy ex-
penditures that were necessary to get
from the mines to the
railroad. The miners had contributed
subscriptions of thousands Of dollars
on road building and they would
willingly pay any tax the county
court might levy for road purposes,
provided only that the money would
be spent on load construction under
modern methods and not by the patch
work system of the past that had
brought so little Improvement to the
highways of Josephine county.
The response to the addresses of
welcome was made by Judge John II.
Scott, of Salem, president of the
Oregon Good Roads Association.
Judge Scott expressed the pleasure Of
himself and associates in visiting the
young city of Grants
Pass, and of being able to assist in
giving renewed impetus to the good
roads movement in Southern Oregon.
