One OF the most practical sre5es

sentiment Tor sooJ roads Il that pu
forward - follows in the Metropoli-
tan Magazine:
The county fair offers a peculiarly
good opening for starting reform
Here are gathered the brain and sineW
of the community intent, it is true, or
diversion and recreation. but equally
alive to the material b9.,efts to be de-
rived from the NUMEROUS meetings
where Il free interchange Of ideas is
insured. Secure some good Speakers;
make it known By ciTcUiar or through
the columns of the county and town
papers that the good roads problem at
th next county fair is to be discussed
by local talent ana by men trained In
the actual field work of his inQor-
tant business. There will be no. nii1i-
Gu " i'll securing Interested audiences,
ana it viii be the exception If results
arc not manifested either in the

of boards OF trade, oranges, both state

ch mbers Of commerce and such finc-
ticas are also good starting points for
effective work i'll the good roads move

Public spirited thinkers whose
minds can transcend the needs OF the

wisdom of pushing the propaganda
for good roads side by side with that

1t is believed here that there are
some mistakes in the above dispatch.
In the first place it is believed that tho
land referred to is located in the south
eastern corner of the Umatila reser-
vation and that it was given to the
Umatilla instead of the Wyandotte
Indians. If this is the land referred
to, it was not allotted at the time the
remainder of the reservation was for
the reason that 1t was unsurveyed and
was too rought to be surveyed. This
land never has been surveyed and is
valuable only for grazing or timber.
