If this highway is built, auto stage
lines will be established between
towns that cannot be reached by rail
roads and it will furnish a way fo-
farmers to market their produce and
daily mail routes can be established
along this road instead of once OF
twice. week as it is now in many
places along the coast Emma Wilson,
Chitwoed, Oregon, age u years.
Business, home and employment Cp-
portunib.es will multiply as the terri
tory is opened and developed, but
these opportunities must be shown to
induce visitors to take them. Adrian
A. Broili, age 10 years, Toledo, Oregon.
Good roads are very essential I'm
building up "a country, and those who
thing, "Oh, wcll the highway will not
do me ANY good, but will havc to pay
for it and it is not fair" should get
that idea out of their heads as quickly
as possible. Just think what an i'm.
provement ii will be to the state if
the Roosevelt Highway is built. The
farmers will be benefited, because tho
products from the farms can be sent
to the markets more easily and cheap
ly, and during the winter as we'll az
summer. The school children will be
benefited because those living in the
country can attend school ut amy time
OF the year, Mary Geer, age IS, grade
18th, Toledo.
More people will come to Oregon to
work and for pleasure, and this will be
a great advantage to the merchants,
farmers, and all other business men.
People that live in the country can
get their products to market much
easier and cheaper. The commercial
Importance Of this road would help
stimulate business in all lines between
various communities. The most i'm
portant and perhaps the greatest
countries of the world have been bull
up by roads. Our country can also
be much greater if we build mere
roads. Vote for the Roosevelt High
way and watch Oregon grow. Doris
Spicer, age 15, 9th grade, Toledo.
1t will be good because all the people
can travel owe" it. Everybody will like
to cCme here because they can go
every place around. The people in
other parts Of Oregon should help us
because our fathers help them build
their roads. Evald Ojala, 9th grade,
Siletz, Oregon.
God never gave this Western land
to the world for naught, and it is base
ingrattude to ignore it. Will we then
let this great region, rich in productive
properties lie idle for the want of
read. OF coure we won't. Eva N.
Morris, Newport, Ese II, sophomore

This highway viii make cheaper
rates for the farmers; they can haul
their crops to hagbor and ship them,
which is much cheaper than by rail
People will come along this highway
in autos; therefore they will need ho-
tells. stores and doctors. Hope Hlck-
ett, age IL, Toledo, 9th grade.
This road would bring tourists to
Oregon, and when they can once en-
joy the mild Oregon climate, the seem
ic beauty Of the largest timber belt
in the world, the Pacific in all it's
glory, and the fruitfulness of the land,
these peaceful little valleys will open
up their resources and prosper as
they never have before. For these
tourists will come again and again,
and tell others about it and many,
perhaps, thousands, will settle here.
The tourists while here must De pro
vided with food. So they will furnish
an ever increasing produce These
valleys are many of them typical ber-
Iy lands. The cool damp dewy nights
the abundant rainfall, ule warm gende
sunshine produce some Of the finest
berries in the world. The dairy pro-
ductiOn of the TllamCok country, the
fruits of the southern counties, ell
must find marke. and means of
transportation provided. This high
way will provide tle r.oans of trans.
portation and the tor. sts will pro
vide the market. Iris Akin, age 16.
l2th grade, Toledo High School.
The main object of this road is for
military purposes in time of war and
the defense of the coast. 1t will fur
nish work to millions of honorably
discharged soldiers who have just re-
turned from overseas; it will also be
a big improvement to the country as
the land will be more valuable and
people win come from all over the
world to settle here II they have good
roads to travel, and many people who
do not live here will come to spend
their summer vacation and will, of
