STATE GOOD ROADS DAY.

At the request of Portland admen,
Governor West is to name April 25
as Oregon Good Roads day, and
every person is invited to do a days.
work on the roads of the state says
George Putnam in the Mail Tribune
The suggestion is a good one and
may prove valuable in interesting
persons in the good roads propagan-
da. 1t should result in the filling in
of many chucEholes and much tenn
porary repair work. Perhaps it may
induce some city people to work a
little for the benefit of the country
and may result in farmers improving
their own roads.
Good roads are not built in a day
They are not built by volunteers
They are the work OF experts and cost
money. Permanent Improvement in
wolves considerable investment, an
annual maintenance and resultant
higher rate OF taxation. But the lat
ter is more than made up by the re-
duction in the cost of transportation
following the road construction.
They are therefore legitimate and
necessary investment for the COM
munity.
AS has before been advocated in
these columns, the best method of
improving dirt roads is by use of the
King" split log drag, following a
rain, before the earth bakes. Jack
son county has recently constructed
fifty of these drags for use on the
county highways, and their use
should result in much smoother and
better highways.
Notwithstanding improved meth
ods OF construction and simple rules
for maintenance, the bulk of our
road builders remain hopelessly i'm
mune to progress-and the primitive
methods of the first road builder
are still in evidence. But each year
sees Improvement. Eventually scien-
tific methods may pravail on the
branch roads as they do now on the
Pacific Highway.

A LESSON ON TAX COST.

Mineral Wells Texas. did not exist
before the mineral waters we're ex-
plotted. A man dug a well in the
country and struck mineral water;
that aroused curiosity. Others dug
wells and struck the same kind ;
that created more interest. and soon
a resort was started. Now Mineral
Wells is a permanent city OF seven
thousand and accommodated, last
year, 10000 visitors. If Mineral
Wells, Texas, can do 1t on poor eli
mate. no scenery and water inferior
TO ours, what can we do If we try?
Since II started the following hotels
have been built in Mineral Wells:
Fairfield Inn. oxford Hotel, Colonial
Hotel, The Jerome, The Period. The
Hexagon. Carlisle House. Leiper
House. The Kingsley, The Beach. Ty-
grett House, Harrell House, Brisco
House, New Hazel. The Plateau. Star
Hotel, Metropolitan, Park View, The
Cliff, Valley View. Bonita, Peeler
House. The Terrace, The Nettie, The
Tourist. Green Cottage, Stratton
House, Imperial, wayside Inn, The
Tillotson, Lake Charles House. Glen
Cottage. Arlington Hotel, George
House, Lindley House, St. George
Hotel, Sterrett House. Worley House
Dallas House, and a number of small.
er hotels. Besides this. more than
one hundred department and room.
ing houses have been built.
II that many new hotels were to
be built in Ashland, how much would
it add in new taxable wealth, and
what would the cost of the springs
project be in comparison to that?
After these hotels were built and be.
gan to contribute their quota to the
budget would taxes be higher or low
or in Ashland?
