A new danger to "the ~revealer'

WOULD BUILD
MODERN ROAD
TO PORTLAND

The construction of a modern high
way connecting the capital city of
the state with Portland, it's metropo-
lis, by means of convict labor is the
plan of Governor West, and with a
view of carrying it into execution he
today appointed Geo. F. Rodgers, of
this city, Grant Dimick, of Oregon
City, and G. T. Prall of Portland to
confer with the authorities of the
counties in which they reside and
initiate a campaign in favor of the
plan.
Since the governor succeeded in
entering into a new contract with
the stove foundry people of Portland
relative to the number of convicts to
be employed by it, he is in a position
to say Just how many can be used
in road construction work. He is a
believer in the idea of building roads
by convict labor, and it was one of
the policies advocated by him in his
campaign for the governersnip. He
has now convicts employed in build
ing roads on a small scale, but he
desires to make the movement state
wide and if he can succeed in get
ting a movement started that will
bring about the construction of a
road between here and Portland he
believes that there will be no trouble
to prevail upon the rest of the state
to adopt his policy.
The committee will be asked to
meet and organize and outline a cam
paign and then it will pay a visit to
the county courts and also other Of
ticers and seek to interest them in
the plan.

GOOD ROADS
COMMITTEE

Responding to repeated requests
coming from all portions of the state
asking him to do something to effect
an organization having for its object
the drafting of a good roads bill
which will meet the approval of the
majority of the voters, Governor West
today appointed a committee con-
sisting of prominent good road en-
thusiasts in every county in the state
and has asked that it meet soon, or
ganize and take up it's work.
Several bills were passed by the
last legislature on the subject of
good roads. Each one, however, was
subjected to dozens of amendments
in both houses, and by the time they
were enacted into law they met with
the approval of but few, were prac-
tically valueless and all were vetoed
by the governor. Since then a move
ment has been launched to initiate a
bill, and it is to avoid a multiplicity
of bills and to avoid a general con-
fusion of legialation on the subject
that the governor has appointed a
committee and asked them to hold a
convention and ascertain if it is not
possible to agree upon some bill
which will give satisfaction to the
public in general.
DR.. Andrew Smith, of Portland, is
made chairman of the committee, and
the other members are as follows:

The RAILROAD
COMMISSION
HAS BUSY TIME

The state railroad commission will
exercise for the first time the author
ity vested in it by Chapter 1876 of the
session laws of this year, when to-
morrow at a hearing at Portland 1t
will determine the days of the week
when railroad companies may II
stock trains of less than carload lots
at a minimum speed.
The law designate one day in the
week when the railroad companies
may run stock trains of more than
10 cars at a minimum speed, but left
it to the commission to fix the DAYS
when they may run stock trains of
less than that number of cars. The
hearing will be held at the Union
stock yards.
To Investigate Other Matters.
While in session in Portland the
commission will also investigate
complaints made against the accom-
odations provided by the railroad
companies for attendants on stock
trains. The complaints charge that
the attendants have been compelled
to occupy any and all kinds of old
quarters which the companies might
see fit to assign to them.
The members of the commission
went to Hillsboro today where they
are holding a hearing on a COM
plant made against the logging rates
charged by the Pacific Railroad G
Navigation company.

INSPECTED
STATIONS
TOO EARLY

Because of their eagerness to rush
into the field and reap a harvest in
the way of fees for the inspection of
stations, inspectors appointed by the
stallion board of registration for the
state now find themselves confronted
with the proposition of having their
claims disallowed, because the work
was done prior to the law creating
their office going into effect.
The law creating the board and
investing it with power to appoint
inspectors in the various counties
did not go into effect until May 30. 1t
now develops that as early as March
inspectors were appointed in the
counties and that as early as April
they began to inspect stations as to
their sOundness.
The bills sent in by the inspectors
range all the way from $50 to $500.
Instances show that many inspectors
made a day wage as high as SIS and
$50 for the inspection of horses, and
but few ran below the $50 mark. The
inspectors, under the law, are allowed
S. for each stallion inspected.
