Rural Carrier Saves Time by Use of

Frederick J. Hack, a mail carrier on

considerable enterprise and desire to

mail. With his machine Mr.. Heck can
cover his entire route in two or three
hours and be back to the city to transact
other business. Otherwise it would take

it more than likely fails when it is
most needed.
Practically speaking, a good road
one good every day in the years. q
road surfaced with macadam or gravel.
These are the only materials that are
cheap enough to be generally used. A
macadam road is usually more exEen-
sive than one made of gravel, but it is
correspondingly better. The crushed
rock is more uniform, the road made
Of it requires less repairing, it sheds
water better and lasts longer.
The material OF which a road should
be built depends largely upon the cost
and accessibility of materials. In q
general discussion of the subject of
good roads, stone or gravel roads are
meant unless otherwise specified.
While earth roads carefully drained
and properly dragged after rains can
be kept in good condition much Of the
time, such highways cannot be regard
ed as good roads, as they periodically
Sail.
Opposition TO GOOD Roads.
There is no function of public admin-
lstration that has been so unworthily
performed as that relating to the care
Of the highways. There has been
enough money squandered upon high
ways in the last century to pay off the
national debt. aHdh tJFobably the debgs
of many of the States as we'll. Yet
there is but little to show for this vast
expenditure.
The people very naturally object 10
heavy road taxes when the results are
so unsatisfactory. One soon tires Of
pouring water into a rathole unless one
can get the rat. Therefore when any
scheme for highway improvement OF
any magnitude is proposed, immediate
ly there Is a call to arms, without
waiting to consider whether or not the
proposition is a wise one. 1t is pre-
sumed and the prediction is made that
the taxation necessary to build good
roads will be ruinous, that it will con
f1scate farm property. Wherever the
project has been earnestly pursued, the
progressives in most cases have finally
won after a hard battle, and the road
building has begun.
When the roads were built and the
citizens had han the experience OF
using them and paying for them, IL
every case the sEntlment has changed

Individual Tree Planting on Streets

In view of the extensive planting OF
trees on streets which is done it Ii
surprising to see the mismanagemeni
or lack Of any management whatso
ever existing IN most Of our cities and
towns, says the Los Angeles Times
Everyone plants to suit himself, hav
ing a favorite tree Of his own, and
ninety times out Of a hundred no pro
visions are made to promote the ex
istence Of the newly-planted tree. A
hole is dug and the tree buried In it
and that is the end. The proper rem
edy lies in a good State law or town
ordinance that will prevent irrational
treatment Of public highways.

and all lands must be sold to the
highest bidder.
We have In this state O school fund
Of about $5,000,000 or $4,000, 900,

What Washington has to show in the
value of her public lands goes close

SALEMS BUILDING BOOM.
Board of Trade Lists New Houses TO
BE Erected This Year.

Salem has inaugurated a genuine
building boom this spring by solicit
ing business men to erect dwellings
and the Salem Journal says of the
plan:
The action taken at the recent
meeting of the board of trade, ap-
pointing a committee to canvass the
town to secure the building of houses
is an important one, and the work is
progressing favorably. The commit
tee wishes to appeal to every proper
ty owner and resident of Salem to Sc
cure the building of houses as rap
idly as possible, and any one having
n lot or desiring TO build house
would do we'll to confer with the sec
retary
Many of our best business people
are coming to the surface with prop
ositions to put up houses, and the
committee is meeting with splendid
success.
Mr.. Spaulding, manager of the
sawmills, says he is prepared to put
up several Immediately. j. H. AL
bert OF the Capital National bank,
will also give the matter lift. r.

up-to-date cottage for rent very soon.
G. w. ohnson, the ,clothier, offers
to furnish any one with lot and the
material If they will build the house
and give a reasonable length of time
to pay for the same on the installment
plan. He has so lots in west Salem
and 22 lots In one of the additions to
Salem proper, and he is willing TO fur
nish all these lots, and in many in
stances building material, to people
who wish to build home on the in
stallment plan.
F. w. Steusloff is prepared to put
up several houses. G. F. Kurtz is al
so in line for a few houses TO rent,
and a number of professional people
and retired business men are ready
to do their part.
Salem has very few vacant houses
at present, and the demand is great.
Everybody is glad that the houses of
the town are filled up, at the same
time with scores of new families

. IN PRAISE OF MARKET DAY.
Rural Spirit Reviews History OF Past
Public Sales.

4 TuDIIC odlCS.
! In praise OF the market days start
ed first In the inland empire by Pen
dleton, the Rural Spirit says:
The market day" system seems tc
be growing in popularity very rapid
ly on the Pacific coast and we believe
its advent will be beneficial to the
farmer and merchant alike.
The institution is not a creation OF
the present day and age, by any
means. Centuries ago our ancestors
met in the public square to trade and
barter on a stated day. The practice
has always been maintained in cer-
tain countries, and in taking it up
now we are simply adopting into our
economic life an institution handed
down to us by others. No difference,
however ifsit fits in to our advan-
take.
Pendleton, we believe, was the first
to hold a market day in Oregon and
they were so well pleased with the
with them Baker City, Freewater,
Eugene, Ashland, Caldwell, Idaho, and
others have taken up the plan with
like success The proposition is
that on a stated day the buyer and
the seller come from far and near to
the appointed town.
The market day never fails TO bring
crowd. One farmer has a few fat
steers to dispose of, another, a second
hand plow. and another comes with
a load Of garden truck. One man
comes to buy a work horse, another
has need OF few bales OF hay and so
they all meet with a good prospect OF
disposing of what they don't want or
of purchasing on the open market
what they have need for. Money
changes hands and the merchant has
record breaking day.
The question has its social side as
well as its economic. The day when
everybody goes to town would be
great day not only for the farmer
himself, but for his wife and chill
dren.
This is a matter OF no small inn
portance for one of the unattractive
features of rural life is the scant op-
portunity for social mingling which
it furnishes. and any institution which
tends TO remedy this feature and
make the life of the family on the
farm brighter, happier and more in
viting is an institution that deserves
encouragement.

STATEMENT NO. 1 ORGANIZED.
Sentiment for Popular Election OF
Senator's Is Strong.

Senators Is strong.
Candidates on the Statement No. 1
ticket have organized themselves for
the primary contest and have mapped
out line of action, says Portland
paper They have raised. their own
campaign fund among themselves,
elected a managing committee and
have settled down TO business.
The candidates met a few evenings
ago and pooled together to raise
money for the fight They agreed to
depend exclusively on their own re-
sources and raised $1,000. This money
Is to be used for advertising the
Statement No. ! ticket and mailing
a circular letter 10 the Republican
voters of Multnomah county. The
letter has been drafter by Ben Sell
ing, with the corporation OF others
on the ticket with him.
A managing committee Of three

OF Ben Selling, George, Orton and
Charles X. Merrick, neither of the
latter being candidates. All business
OF the campaign will be carried out
by this committee, which will hold
nightly meetings until the primary
votes are counted.
Thomas McCusker. who assembled
the Statement No. candidates orig
inalN and launched the ticket, ends
his participation in the campaign to-
day This evening McCusker leaves

on private business for a month.
At the headquarters of the State
ment Republicans there is a strong
spirit of confidence in the outcome,
and the members of the legislative
ticket believe that they will carry
Multnomah county by snug vote.
Reports which have been received at
headquarters are of character which
infuse hope and apparently assure
success
