tFrom the East Oregonian, Jan. "a,
1919)4
4 At special meeting OF the Pendle-
ton Commercial Club, held last even
ing under the four foot rule, C. p.
Strain, secretary of the road campaign
organization for the county, outlined
the general reasons why the people
should vote for the bond proposal
soon to be submitted to them. The
reasons as presented by Mr.. Strain
were so convincing that he had his
audience fully in line on the subject.
Aside from Mr.. Strain, other speak
ers included w. L. Thompson, who had
just returned from Salem where the
highway board conferred with the
legislative road committee. \ Mr..
Thompson predicted that the legisla>
ture will provide for the sale Of 10
million additional road bonds. With
this new issue and other funds avail
able the highway commission will be
able to complete the Columbia and
Pacific highways.
Tho Columbia highway will be paw
ed as far east as Seufert, gravelled
from Seufert to Echo. paved from
Echo to the Washington state line.
The road between Pendleton and the
Idstno line, via La Grande and Baker
will be gravelled for all but a short
distance, which will be paved.
In his talk last evening Mr.. Strain
said In part:
1t is time when cool heads and
balanced minds should prevail The
splendid victories of the American
army have thrilled the nation with
patriotic emotion. There are those
who would ride into power and float
unworthy projects to success on this
tide of sentiment. But surely no such
charge can be made against the men
who suggested the road program pro-
posed for Umatilla county at this tims
or against the project itself. The
facts are that the coming of the mo,
tor vehicle spelled the doom of the
old fashioned dirt road as a main
highway. 1t has destroyed our dirt
and macadam roads beyond hope Of
repair as such,

through the cities and school districts
where 5614 out of 7419 school children
were enumerated in 1917. Assuming
that the school population of the
county fairly represents the county's
entire population we see that these
roads will either pass by or very near

Dirt Roads Too Soft.

!. A dirt road can not be made to
stand up under motor traffic. It's

poses to match S576,000 with Umat-
