PLANNING ROAD WORK
COUNTY COURT VISITS EASTERN
POLK ON INSPECTING TOUR.
Talk of Buying Rock Crusher For Use
on Muddy Reservation
Road.

+ Throughout the county the annual
preparations for working the roads
are in progress, and graders, .
''crowders" and slips are being
dragged forth from their winter retire
ment to. begin again the eternal war
fare 'twixt mud and humanity, with the
odds in favor of the mud. The farm
| done as soon as possible in order to
| leave them free to attend to their rush
of farm work when it comes later in
the season. In Polk County there are
140O miles of public highways. That
means there are two miles of road for
ther means that if the work of main
tanning this system of roadways was
divided among the population there
would be only SO people to each mile
of road, and that number would in
clude women. children, and invalids
And if the total road fund for 1911
was apportioned equally from one end
of the county to the other, there would
be only $45.33 per mile of road with
which to pay the 9.6 people for their
labors.
On Inspection Tour.
Just what to do and where to do it,
is now the problem that confronts the
County Court. Under the antiquated
methods now in vogue in this state,
the solution must be worked out anew
each year. County Judge Coad and
Commissioners Riddell and Petre have
been out on the highways and byways
during the past week, planning for the
coming years work and examining
possible sources of supply for the ma
terial required, but now not always
available. They have been over a
good portion of the eastern part of the
county They visited East Dallas,
Rickreall, Eola, Spring Valley Mccoy
and other districts and this week will
make a tour of the southwestern and
northwestern parts.
Want Rock Crusher.
There is some talk of buying anoth-
er rock crusher for use on the Grand

place, but the matter has not been
definitely determined. The road be-
tween Willamina and Dolph, known as
District No. 1, is one of the most
heavily travelled thoroughfares within
the jurisdiction of the court. 1t is a |
sort of main entrance for four coun-
ties-Polk, Yamhill, Tillamook and
Lincoln-and is the route followed by
large numbers of summer tourists to |
the coast. Last year in one day in
which count was kept, 1870 automobiles |
passed over the road, and besides
there was the usual number of more
common vehicles.
The residents of that district are en-
ergetic and anxious to get the benefits
of good roads, and they have already
subscribed $10S0 worth of volunteer
work for this season. They have
been petitionng the court for addition
al assistance, and it is probable that
the county will furnish them all of the
crushed rock that they can find time
to haul and distribute.

Some Fine Turnins.

The Advertiser is. indebted to Mr.
e. ID. Robertson for bunch of very
fine Purple Top Turnips. They are
very large and very solid. We tele-
phoned around to the house" to send
after them yesterday morning and they
thought we said peanuts instead of
turnips and so delayed sending. In
the meantime, we had tasted them and
they were so sweet that our force al
most ate them up raw before anyone
came to carry them home. They are
certainly fine ones. When the paper
went to press, all were still we'll.

is by far worse than the liquor habit
cured of 1t. Reports come from all
over the county that the negroes are
using 1t and, In fact. some say that
1t is actually taking the place of whis-
key. 1t is said, also, that in nearly
every instance when user of 1t is
asked where 1t comes from 1t is stat
ed that 1t comes from Laurens. The
sale Of this death dealing drug should
be stopped and stopped at once. Those
T'ho are selling 1t should take heed
and beware for we believe that If the
people become stirred up over this
matter and begin to put stop to 1t
they will not deal lightly. There are
legitimate uses of the drug and IL
legitimate uses of 1t. Those who sell
1t for illegitimate uses are aware OF
1t and they would do well to stop it
now. The harm that thep have done
can never be effaced and many poor
helpless one is now suffering from this
awful habit.
