GOOD ROADS men
ADOPT WORKING PLAN
STATE AID FOR ROADS
Is OBJECT IN VIEW
Counties Must Provide Double The
Sums Given by State-Niembers
Hope TO Have Plan Adopted by
Legislature.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 14.-Unani- |
mously determined to proceed ener-
geticaly in practical campaign for
good roads, the oregon Good Roads
convention came to a close Monday
night. With slight notifications, five
bills, providing total of nearly S2,-
100000 for good roads construction
were approved by the convention for
submission to the legislature at its
next session. AS a large proportion
of the delegates to the convention
We're legislators elect adoption of the
bills and their enactment into law is
confidently expected.
The state aid bill was changed to
provide for an appropriation of $780,
600 instead of the originally planned
$4,000. This amount will be ap-
portioned among the counties that
avail themselves of the law in sums
of $4,000 for 1911 and $4,000 for
1872. To take advantage of the prof
fered aid each county must appropri-
ate $4,000 to balance each $4,000
given by the state. This makes the
total of appropriation for any one
county during two years 100000, in
stead of $4,000, as was originally
planned.
The bonding act was amended so as
to provide that bonds shall not draw
greater interest than per cent, that
bonds must be sold at not less than
par and in any denomination desir-
ed by the purchaser. This makes it
possible for every county to buy up its
own good roads bonds, or for the peo-
10
The bill providing for the creation
of the state highway board of three
members with a state highway COM
missioner as its. executive officer, was
left unchanged. An effort to increase
the number of members of the board
to five and to provide they be paiC
each an annual salary of $4,000 wa!
defeated.
The two convict labor bills, on'
providing for the utilization of peni
tentiary prisoners on roads, and tn
other for working city and count,
prisoners in the same way, were lef
unchanged.
d To the mind of Dr. Andrew
Smith, president of the Oregon Goo
Roads association, and Judge Lione
r. Webster chairman of the executiv
committee of the association, the con
vention and the nature of its repre-
sentation point to the fact that tn
need of a systematic read buildin
plan in oregon is generally recoE
niZed.
Not only that" said Judge Wei
ster this morning, but the represer
tative citizens of this state are t
gether in hearty support of the roa
building plan that was approved ye
terday

body prefer to buy clothing from a
sample case peddler from foreign
town?
Canon City has the best clothing
stores in the state. You cannot buy
better suit for the money at any
store in Denver than you can get at
Canon City stores. Eastern people re-
mark about it and say that they can
get more style and quality for their
money in Canon City than they can in
towns several times as large in Iowa,
Kansas and Illinois.
It's a fact. We have fine clothing
stores and they give as much value
for the money as you can find any
where.
Then we have several excellent
tailors. If a man wants his clothes
made, as many do. he can get the
very best of service in Canon City.
The difference is only in the price
end it is true that a man will often
pay $50 or $50 for a suit in Denver
that he get here for $40 or $50. but
its worth something to some evidently,
to say that this suit came from Den
ver'
But the chief reason for this buy
ing in Denver is in the persistancy Of
the salesman A good salesman can
sell anything anywhere People are
awfully easy. They buy anything
from good agent That is most peo-
pie do-but he couldn't sell the news
