Farmers After Good Roads.

United States have taken the lead
in movement to obtain good
roads for all parts of the country,
the success of the project seems to
be assured. Bat a great deal of
hard work will be necessary before
the proper legislation at the hands
of congress is secured and the CO.
operation of all classes of citizens.
regardless of politics, is needed.
1t will take millions of dollars to
put the highways of America in
the same condition. as are those of
other nations and everybody knows
that getting big appropriations
from congress is not the easiest
work imaginable. Tac bill pre-
pared by the legislative committee
of the National Grange and recent
ly introduced by Congressman
Carrier, providing for the creation
of a National Highway Commits
sion, aud for the construction, i'm
proyement and maintenance of
public highways, asks for an APP
preparation of $50, 900, 900. The
bill provides that $4,000, 900
shall be expended in each state Of
the United States at the rate of not
less than 100000 year, and that
the total appropriation of $50, 600,
900 is to be available at the rate of
so, 100000 Il year during the
years 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911 and
1912.
Fifty million dollars seems like
an immense sum to spend on roads,
doesn't it! Well, it is, but it isn't
anything compared to the amounts
other nations, less rich than the
United States, have spent in i'm
proving their public highways.
France, for instance, has spent
over $500, 100000 on good roads
and the cost is considered infnit-
esimal compared with the benefits
derived by the farmers and others
VINO use the thoroughfares. There
are 1866 miles Of national
routes" in France in addition TO
the roads constructed and main
tanned by local authorities. So
perfect are these thoroughfares
;ha; q draft horse can haul load
OF $500 pounds in Il rolling coun-
; try ut the rate of 20 miles per day
The vast difference between French
roads and those in this countr y
can easily be seen whcn it is stated
, that the load hauled by one horse

on roads with five per cent grade

SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG

Cooper's claim that the human stom.
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
Zone of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. C. w. Woods, of 1O3
South Highland Street. He said: For
four years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and was
inclined to believe them. It certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
"Shortly after Mr.. Cooper came to
Pittsburg began to hear Of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his medicine, so I
got some for my wife. She had taken
it only two days when she was relieved
of a tapeworm AZ feet long. She be-
gan to improve immediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began TAX
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. II any

WE ARE ALL LAWMAKE KERS.

The fact that we will have the
opportunity to vote on nineteen
measures and amendments at the
coming June election is a grand
and glorious thought. Yes, sir, it
will not be nacess Try for US to hav 9
that handle Of "Hon." attached in
order to make us all real lawmakers
in the broadest sense of the word.
Now just for an example, the Ga
zette is in receipt of a big mani la
envelope from Astoria. This en-
velope is surely big one and it is
filled to overhowing with srgu-
ments for and against, measures
bills, enclosures, type written let
ters, appeals, warnings, and other
; important documents, and from
the best that we can get out of
af er couple of days study and
getting through part of if, that
the whole thing has some reference
to salmon, sturgeon, etc, that in.
habit the Columbia river. 1t ap.
pears that some people are inter.
ested in one end Of the river and
some other people are interested in
the other end Of the river. Wheth-
er these measures" are gotten up
for the express benefit of a few
cannerymen or a few fish wheel
owners, The Gazette hasn't time to
find out, but we presume that
every other voter in the state knows
R'l about it and will let the matter
rest at this, for we can't spend all
our tipe on fish for there are II
other laws that must be digested.
We presume that all Of these pro-
posed measures have originated in
philanthropic minds and for the
public good, and it would be an
evil thought indeed, to think any,
thing else.
It is characteristic ofthe Oregon
Legislature not to put forth many
bills and laws, and now we and
all of as can have a show at law
making. If we get few bad ones,
well, we can make more and get
rid OF them and still have the glo-
rious thought of all being law
makers.
