OREGON LAMBS SHARE
CHICAGO RIOT DELAYS

A trainload of lambs sent TO Chi
cago by Smythe Bros. two weeks ago
landed in the Windy City in time to
share the unstable conditions caused
by the race riots. Half of the lot was
disposed OF before the riots at the top
prices on the Chicago market. but the
remainder had to be held until the
trouble subsided and some loss was
occasioned by the shrinkage and feed
ing necessary. Returns from the lot
have not been received
With assurance that further trouble
is unlikely. another trainload of lambs
went east from Sloan Wednesday The
market in the middle west city is now
about 81 a hundred more than Port
land offers and local sheep raisers are
sending their big shipments east. At
the prevailing prices east and on the
coast. the net gain in favor of Chicago
is now about 81 a head on the ami
mails.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--Nationali.
zation of American railroads with
possible spread OF the principle tc
many other industries came to the
foreground today in the discussion OF
the labor and high cost of living cris-
is which confronts the government.
II think the present trend of events
is toward naturalization of industry"
Senator Cummins told the United
Press today.
'Nationalization of railroads, II II
should occur. would. in my opinion.
be followed by naturalization of other
industries. However, l do not anti
cipate immediate naturalization of
the railroads.
Representatives of the four big
brotherhoods appear tomorrow before
a joint congressional committee which
will hear their suggestion for settle-
ment of the railroad problem.
They are expected to make flat de-
mands for the retirement OF capital
from the rairpads: for purchase of
roads from their present owners with
payment to be made i'm government
bonds; for further control of the lines
by corporations in which the public,
employees and operating management
shall have equal rights. Some mem
bers of the committee intend to bring
out by questions that labor considers
public ownership of the roads only a
step in the direction of the control of
all big industries by the workers.

$1,000 LBS. OF UMAT|L[A CO. WOOL
SELL HIGH ON MARKET AT BOSTON

Two lots of Jmatilla county wool
of the 1919 clip, totaling 10000
pounds, have. been sold at Boston
within the last week. according to e
j. Burke, local wool buyer. who pur-
chased the clips here and sent them
east. Forty thousand pounds of fine
staple wool from the John Ross sheep
at Pilot Rock, brought SO cents a
pound and $4,000 pounds of medium
wool, from johnson & Pearson at Ju-
niper, brought 10 cents.
The Ross wool Is considered among
the best In the state and when pur-
chased by Mr.. Burke last spring
brought the highest price then paid
in Oregon. So IA cents pound The
price 1t brought In Boston is close
to the top. s. t.lsl.

oregon wool has commanded ex-
oellent prices in the eastern market
this year, Mr.. Burke said today. and
1t is considered among the best
grown. Within the state, the Pilot
Rock wool stands at the top, giving
umatilla county further honors as a
wool growing district
Prices next year will likely remain
as high If not go higher, Mr. Burke
believes. The 1919 clip sold for
slightly more than the 1918 in most
Instances and conditions this season
point to a continued good price for
1920. Sheep possibly will be less plen-
tiful next spring owing to the heavy
sales made necessary by short pas
ture and hay crops in many wool
growing sections.

In one county in Tennessee, before road Improvement began
one bale of cotton was an average load for a two-horse team with
good roads. twelve bales is not an uncommon load. In another coun-
tv Of Tennessee, the cost of delivering wheat from farm to railroad
a distance of ten miles was reduced from fifteen to four cents per
bushel after the roads were improved.

If the total Of 100000 is not necessary for the construction
OF the proposed mileage Of hard surfaced roads, only enough bonds
will have to ne sold to meet the required expense. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion of the 100 tax payers of Audrain County that it would
be wise to have a sufficient amount of money for the construction
Of the proposed mileage of hard surfaced roads to avoid the nee
essty of the expense and work of a second bond issue if a smaller
issue had been proposed and later proved not to be sufficient The
bonds will be sold as the money is needed; hence, taxes will have
to be paid only on the amount Of the bonds sold and used ia the
actual construction of roads.
These roads can not be definitely located until the bonds have
been voted. The location then will be determined by the County
Court in conjunction with the State and Federal road officials.
All tax payers will be notified to present arguments for the To-
cation Of a particular road. However, with 25 miles of hard sur
faced roads, every tax payer in the County will be assured of n
road within a very short distance of his property.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1919-08-28

A mllondollar bond issue on the part of Audrain County will
mean the expenditure of approximately $2,25O,OOO in the County.
There will be needed in the construction Of these roads labor,
teams, and material. Every laborer and land owner will have an
opportunity to earn during the construction of these roa1s in
amount many times in excess of his proportionate part of the
taxes for the twenty years. Every able-bodied man who desires to
work will be assured of employment.

The tax payers are now paying State and Federal road taxes
which will be expended in other counties of the State, If we do not
vote a bond issue to match the State and Federal aid for the con
structon of hard surfaced roads in the State of Missouri.
Sixteen counties have already voted bond issues and some OF
them are proceeding with the construction of hard surfaced roads;
and at least fCrty-five other counties have called special elections
for the purpose Of voting bonds for the construction of roads. 1t is
evident that The State and Federal aid available for the construc-
ton of roads in Audrain County will be expended in other coun-
ties of The State, if we do not begin the construction of these roads

1t is an undisputed fact that the construction of 225 miles of
hard surfaced roads in Audrain County would increase the sale
price Of land from ten to one hundred dollars per acre. However,
an average increase of only five dollars an acre would be equal to
50 1856 $50, or more than twice the amount of the full bond issue.
Is there a land owner in Audrain County who does not believe that
his land woull increase at least five dollars an acre?
Mexico weekly ledger., 1919-08-28

Mr.. Citizen:
The County Court of Audrain County has called a special cleo
ton to be held September 16 to vote on an issuance of 100000
in bonds to match the State and Federal appropriation for the build
ing of hard surfaced roads in Audrain County. This action was
taken by the County Court just before it adjourned for the summer
session at the request of nearly a thousand farmers of Audrain
County.
The Audrain County Chamber of Commerce was organized in
a meeting OF about 100 of the representative tax payers OF Au-
drain County for the immediate purpose Of presenting the merits
of a bond issue for hard surfaced roads to the tax payers of All
drain County, and, therefore, present below certain facts and fl
cures pertaining to the cost of such a bond issue to the tax payers
of the County and certain information relative to the construction
and value of hard surfaced roads.
The State and Federal authorities are now spending $1,000 a
mile for grading and building culverts on roads to be hard surfac-
ed and in addition to this are apProprlatng a dollar 10 'atch
every dollar expended by the counties for the construction of hard
surfaced roads. Therefore. when Audrain County votes a million
dollar bond issue for the construction of good roads, there will be
available with the State and Federal aid $125O0OO, which, added
to the million voted by Audrain County, will mean an expenditure
of $2,250000.
$225oOOo will be sufficient money to construct 25 miles OF
hard surfaced roads at a cost Of $4,000 a mile, which is consider
ed a very liberal estimate.
Two hundred twenty-five miles of hard surfaced roads will put
every farm ia the County within an average of two and one quar-
ter miles of a hard surfaced road. Two hundred twenty-five miles
would traverse the County eight times, crosswse, and TWO times
lengthwtse,
BY hard surfaced roads is meant gravel, rock, brick, concrete,
etc. The type of road to he constructed in Audrain County has to
be determined after the bonds have been issued. 1t appears that
the majority of the counties now constructing good roads in the
State of Missouri are using rock and gravel.
The method Of the construction of these roads will also have
to be determined after the bonds have been issued and a PROPOSE
ton of constructing the roads IS placed before the proper authori-
ties. However ii is obligatory that all such roads be constructed
by contract 70 the lowest bidder and the construction rigthy SUI
perWsod by Federal State. and County engineers.
The cost of the construction of these roads is to be met by
taxation, each tax payer bearing his proportonate share OF the
taxes as determined by the assessed value of his property.
All property, including land and improvements, personal pro
perry. merchandise, railroads, corporations, and town lots, will be
tavn1 for the construction of these roads.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1919-08-28

The Audra!n County Chamber of Commerce was organized
July II, 1919. by a number of representative citizens of Audrain
County, who were called together for a discussion of the question
of good roads for all of the citizens OF Audrain County. Vandala,
Farber, Laddcnia, Rush Hill, Martinsburg, Centraia, Thompson,
Monno, and Denton City and territory tributary were represented
on this occasion. 1t was voted unanimously to petition the County
Court of Autrain County to call an election of the qualified voters
of Audrain County for the purpose of voting a milion-dollar bond
issue for the construction of hard surfaced roads throughout the
entire county.
The ABSOLUTE NECESSITY of developing an ADEQUATE
system of highways to meet the present and everincreasing demand
of the farmers is the greatest problem confronting this country.
There is 70 one thing that the farmers of Audrain County need
more than better highways.
There is nothing which would mean more to the County and
to our people socially, commercially, and economically, than good
roads.
As an individual advocate of good roads, you can do much as
an active booster in an organization working toward this eud you
can do far more.
Better roads in Audrain County mean:
Q) Progress and prosperity;
CO Higher farm values;
C) Quicker transportation of farm products;
az Greater wealth to the producer;
() Economy;
C) Less waste Of time and money;
(O Educational and religious progress;
() Better homes;
() Happier and more contented people;
1) Development of social centers.
1t is a fact that where highways have been improved, farm
values, villages, and cities have grown and multiplied and every
individual has felt the benefit of the investment.
Getting the produce of the farm to the market in the shortest
and most economical way will do more towards Tightening the
burden O.. the people than any one thing.
Internationally, this great movement will mean much tE our
people In these days of consolidated school districts when the
people on tho far mare planning better mental equipment for
their children, no one thing can help so much as the making 1t
possible for >he youngsters to get to the schools better Eoaus
facilitate this work.
Be a good roads enthusiast and interest your neighbors by
handing them the good roads literature you receive as soon as you
have read it.
A good road is the finest business asset that the farmer can
have. OF what use is a fine farm and a fine crop, if you cant haul
the crop to the market at top price?
