THORN SUBMITS
CAUSTIC CRITICISMS
Hood River, Feb. 4. 1912.

Hood River, Feb. 4, 1912.
Mr.. Editorials this is the week
slated for "good roads" discussions by
Governor West. will avail myself of
the opportunity to state some facts.
and ask some questions of our county
court, in regard to the roads in the
Pine Grove district.
Good roads, like charity, begins at
home, but neither should end there.
Right beginning is the most important
factor in any enterprise. In the aues-
tion of good roads it should be a county
court that will make it a personal
matter to see that the money intrusted
to them by the taxpayers is iudiciously
expended, and that their constituents
are satisfied with the results of the
work of the supervisors, by them ap-
pointed.
1t certainly must reflect on the
county court when they retain super
visors in Office that do not understand
the first principles of road building.
! don't believe there should be a life
tenure attached to that office. "By
their works ye shall know them." No
truer words could be applied to this
case, as the condition OF the roads is
the best demonstration of a mans
ability as road builder and caretaker.
If our county court. Individually or
collectively, will take the trouble to 90
over the roads in this district and
investigate them in an unbiased, un-

of our road builder that the proper
outlet for water on the upper side of
the road is to carry the water beneath
the road bed and not over it. ! would
like TO ask why innumerable loads of
dirt and gravel were handled and
dumped at the side of the macadam
road. at cost | understand, of Sll per
day. and no use made of the material.
II does not seem possible that it was
intended for that road as any one well
knows that such dirt should never be
put on a macadam road. Why is il
that a load of gravel has been dumped
IN the road just north of Van Horn
station and left in pile tor nearly
year! The water is six inches deep all
around 1t at the present writing. Why
is not something done to make the
road to Mosier and The Dailes pass
able? 1t would only need compare
lively small outlay to put in two cul-
verts and some grader work done on
the hill. Surely the wagon and auto
mobile traffic in that road is sufficient
to warrant passable road. Our new
macadam road will require competent
man to keep it in shape so that it will
turn the water off instead of holding it
on.
The majority of taxpayers in Pine
Grove district have always been enthu-
siastie boosters for good roads, statis-
tics showing it to be the first district
to take advantage of the special law
for permanent road building, hence
their chagrin at the condition of the
roads at this time in this district.
Its the small leaks that sink the
ship" When our county court came
in office last year they had more than
one petition presented to them by the
taxpayers of this district for charge
in supervisors to which petitions they
gave no heed. History teaches US that
at times changes in officials is bene-
fetal to all parties.
| have been a taxpayer in this dis
trlct for over nine years and have
always done my share of road work, |
and willingly paid all specials for per-
manent roads, constantly hoping for a
change for the better. until patience
has ceased to be a virtue"
Yours for Good Roads and good ex-
ecutive officers.
D. II Thorn |

prejudiced manner they will see for
themselves what the taxpayers of this
district are up against.
Now for some facts. The dirt roads
are always made fiat so that the bitches
alongside the road are dry and the
middle of the road a veritable water
way, with every few rods a large mud
hole, through which horses unwilingly
wade and the occupants of all vehicles
receive an impromptu mud bath. Is
this state of affairs not an outrage to
the people of valley enjoying the
reputation this one does? | will site
you two cases of the result of work
done in hit or miss" style.
Last fall the grader was run over
the road passing my place. Above me
the grader was zigzagged into the
irrigation ditch, allowing the water to
follow the path of the grader and flow
down the middle of the road until
turned it back into the ditch again.
Between my place and August Paasch S
the operation was repeated and the
water taken from the ditch was left to
its own sweet will until two large
bitches were washed in the road. Af-
ter the grader passed over the road, no
one came back to inspect the work and
ascertain if the work was properly
executed or not.
Again, during the early part of last
month | had occasion to travel the road
leading south of Pine Grove school
house and found the road between the
Weber place and Laraway's in an al
most impossible condition the water
covering the road, and no outlet, the
ditch above the road had no outlet but
to overflow the road.
1t does not seem to enter the mind

NJ ANAGER John j. McGraw, of
IN the Giants, places almost as
much dependence In his Sec
ondary defense as he does in his regu-
lar line, and the fact that the Giants
are making such a wonderful show
Ing this early in the season proves that
the McGraw theory is a sound one.
But for the capabilities of that second
line the New York National league club
several weeks. as some of the most val
liable regulars were injured or ailing
al the start of the season
McGraw has always argued that the
strength of a club Is in its substitutes.
He has made it a point to pay as much
attention to getting high-class ball
players on his bench as on the field.
There is rarely a time that he does not
have a second string of half a dozen
prominent Youngsters taking their edu-
cation from cover of the players coop,
and he usually has two or three finish
ed men who can jump in and handle
any position
All managers now endeavor to or
ganize d reserve force. and practically
every club in the two big leagues car
ries its full allowance of twenty five
men-which means that half of them
are substitutes, not counting the
pitchers Some managers run largely
to swirlers. and carry a big flock of
reserve heaving talent but the major
ity are content to hold on to just a
fair sized star that can be worked in
rotation. and devote the other space
TO utility infielders. outtieders and
catchers, The system now generally
in vogue. of having a coach for the
young pitchers with the team displaces
one working player.
