SAD ACCIDENT ON

rived here Monday by automobile over
the Columbia highway, report pa
thetic accident four miles east of Cas-

narrow point in the road the fine horse
driven by an Astoria Swedish family,
en- route to Bend, became frightened at
a westbound automobile and plunged
over precipice.
"My wife and | arrived just after
the accident" says Mr.. Ford. "ln the
excitement failed to secure the names
of the parties. The occupants of the
machine, think, we're from Portland.
Fortunately, in order to save the
strength of the horse, the man, with
his wife and daughter, were walking
up the long hill, else all would proba-
bly, have been hurt.
IA team was brought from a neigh
boring farm, and an effort was made
to draw the horse up to the road. 1t
was finally determined, however. that
he was fatally injured and the animal
was shot. The rig was smashed almost
into kindling wood.

One County Road Supervisor
Hood River, Ore, Sept. q

Hood River, Ore, Sept. 20. 1916.
Editor Glacier: Will you give me
space to blow my bugle regarding the
proposition of having one road super
visor for the county in the place of the
many we have. Looking at it from
one angle it might be move in the
right direction, but from another it
doesn't look so good. II competent
road builder was given the position and
had absolute control of all the road
construction it might be business
proposition, but under the present con-
ditions it would be failure with big
F. Under our present law the county
court has the last say, and as rule
they say it. The county courts. the
state over, know but little more about
road building than hog knows about
a holiday. Our county court is no ex-
ception to the rule. We have samples
of their work all over the county. The
East Side grade is one; their refusal
to take over the Highway and main
tain it is another, and a two or three
thousand dollar piece of road that is
being built at Winans that hasn't any
way to get onto it from either end.
only mud: roads, is another, to say
nothing about what they do not do that
they ought to do. We have some good
road supervisors in the county-good
road builders. We have one in Frank
ton. But they are all handicapped by
the 'bigherups." And go would the
county supervisor be. Better change
our laws covering those points before
making any changes that might be
jumping out of the frying pan into the
fire. We tried the county supervisor
proposition once and it was a failure.
About the only thing that it accom-
pllshed was the recall and that could
happen again very easily.
One solution of the problem would be
to start from Hood River, as all roads
meet there, and build what we did
build good. In time the county would
be covered and then if a patrol system
were adopted that would look after the
little ills there would be but few big
ones. This cannot be done under the
present system and the other plan has
been tried and found lacking. Friends
of good roads in this county, think this
over by Saturday. M. R. Noble.
