Farm Front Attractive 5!
w. w. Bisby Thinks Property Along
a Public Road Should he Attractive.

To close observer there is some-
thing radically wrong with our pub
lie roads.
When came here fifteen years ago
our roads were but a poor excuse.
They had been worked liltle or none
at all In many places the sage
brush had simply been chopped of
or wagons had travelled over until
the brush had worn down to the
roots. A theory advanced by some
said the roads would be spoiled ii
plowed
So the farmers and others wallow-
ed through dust, sometimes to a
depth OF inches or more in sum
mer, and plo@ed through mud in
winter.
OF the TWO evils, the dust was the
least Objectionable as one could
with a good team, make four or five
miles per hour, while with deep mud
one must 20 at an OK pace.
IL is pleasing indeed to know that
the conditions OF bygone years have
greatly changed for the better. In
those past years, good new buggy
was luxury, enjoyed only by the
rich, or at least those classed as
wealthy, or in easy circumstances
But with the advent OF the auto
mobile, came a special demand for
better roads, as in the beginning OF
automobile travel only the wealthy
could afford to own machines
Those fortunate persons did not
relish being choked with dust. or
wallowing through or sticking in
mud, when out pleasure riding, so
they began clamoring for good
roads, which was ably seconded by
owners OF less pretentious vehicles.
Finally the hue and cry caught the
voting public and they began voting
for better roads, and as pebble
cast into pond may cause a wave
to reach the shore, so this move for
good roads ever extended farther
away. and good roads began to ap-
pear.
A very noticeable change OF roads
in this county has taken place with
in the past few years, and in and
around Meridian we have some OF
very creditable roads indeed, and it
Is a pleasure to drive over them in
buggy or auto.
Now this is only preface to what
wish to say about our highways III
the vicinity of Meridian, and other
sections of the county are at liberty
to act on my suggestions free OF
charge. Thousands of automobiles
travel yearly over the roads that
ramify ont of Meridian, and the peo-
pie who ride in them are not always
citizens of this county or state. but
without doubt, many of them are
from other states and even from
other countries.
AS a beautiful painting deserves
suitable frame and as noble piece
of statuary should have the right
mounting, so should fine road have
suitable surroundings. DO you catch
my meaning? Have you, my readers,
observed the settings of the roads
surrounding Meridian.
In my early life l lived in Mich
igan, and many marshes and swamps
were bridged with curdoroy-that is
road made of logs and poles and
brush, and after many years per-
haps one would be covered with a

A GREAT RECORD.

1t Is estimated that there were
shipped out of Meridian during 1916
290 carloads of grain and live stock.
These shipments have consisted of
100 carloads of hay, 26 carloads OF
cheese, Sc carloads of hogs, 20 car
loads of cattle, IL carloads of sheep,
three carloads of wool, and SO car
loads of grain.
This is a splendid record and sus-
tains Meridian's reputation as one
of the leading shipping points OH the
Oregon Short Line.
On another page of this paper is a
splendid article on how to care for
horses, telling of wounds and their
treatment. Every farmer should
read this article.
II is understood that Ed Hasbrouek
one of our leading young democrats
is slated for position in the insur-
ance department of the state govern
ment, and will assume his duties in a
short time. 1t will be travelling job
and Mr.. Hasbrouck expects to be
away from home a good portion OF
the time.
On another page is resume of the
events of 1916. The reader will
note that it was an eventful year.
Many great men and women were
called by death and there were many
incidents that will be historical. OF
course the great war overshadows
everything else.

The treasurer adds that he sees no
way for the department heads to get
any money at all II the court finds
against Vierra for such decision will
mean that Vierra is Illegally in office,

all other holdover department heads

The food controllers have taken a
firm hand and have arranged that
meat and other necessities shall be
sold at reasonable prices to the pub

in England is scarcely as high as on
the American continent, and as the
people are drawing large wages they

Concentrates on Air Planes
England today is turning out from
500 to 1000 aeroplanes and other air
craft week, and there are now thou
sands Of factories working on this in
dustry. Every week many factories
are being converted so that they may
turn out aeroplane parts. The damage
which has been done by the German
air raids on England is practically nil.
and although there are, and will con.
tinue to be, raids at intervals, it is
not likely the Huns will be able to do
much damage owing to the height at
which they must travel, and their
speed to escape being caught by our
defensive fighting machines and our
anti-air craft guns. 1t is practically
impossible for them to know where
they drop their bombs"
A Battle In the Air
. On July Z, Mr.. Garrison was at one
of the largest aerodromes which have
been established for the defense of
London, where the raid took place,
and he saw twenty-five German ma
chimes which were returning to the
coast after having bombed London, in
conflict with eight British machines.
This was thrilling scene. Shots were
fired every few seconds, An anti-air
craft gun also fired ninety rounds in
a short space of time at the enemy
machines. The result was the Ger.
man planes were turned off their
course and forced to make detour.
and thus the aerodrome and munition
works in the vicinity -,ere saved.
The machines were flying at a
height Of $4,000 feet. A British
aviator was killed and fell to the
ground half a mile from where Mr..
Clarkson stood. There was some dam
