COUNTY ROAD WORK
NOW BEING EXECUTED
Progress Is Noted in Nearly Every
District.

Probably more work is being executed
on the roads Of Umatilla county just
now than at any one time previous.
County Superintendent Of Roads Phil
Beathe, Of Weston, is constantly on the
travel, overseeing the work that is pro-
crossing favorably in almost every dis
trict in the county. A much better
standard Of construction is said to be in
order than formerly prevailed in county
road work, with the result that Umatilla
county is soon to have class Of roads
second to none in Eastern Oregon.
Road work the country over is rapidly
coming under scientific and modern
methods. The old method Of dumping
a scraper load Of dirt here and there,
with its attendant worthlessness in point
Of stability, is giving place to smooth,
even grades that gives TO the public
thorofares permanent construction.

WILL ATHENA CELEBRATE
AND ENTERTAIN CALEDONIANS?
Pendleton and Weston Both An
nounce Attractions.

"Will Athena celebrate this year and
will she entertain the CaledoniansS" was
the question put by prominent busi-

said:
"PeudIeton and Weston are already
to the front with announcements OF
public attractions schedule for the near
future. Pendleton will have a county
picnic on May /, and gives notice of a
celebration on July 4. Weston has
cinched the Pioneer picnic and is reach
ing out for the Caledonian picnic.
Athena, with superior facilities for Of
fering convenience and entertainment,
seems to be virtually lying down to
other towns in the matter Of celebra-
tions and picnics. Personally ! believe
that in reciprocation Of the generous
trade the town receives from the country
people, that she should til year secure
the Caledonian picnic and extend to the
public rousing celebration on July A.

Caledonian society in this city. AT this
meeting, 10 all probability. the place for
holding the annual picnic will be select

extent, proper inducements should be
offered to insure the picnic being held
in Athena. More especially does the
matter require Immediate actionbecause
