One OF the best and most important
features Of the Carnehan road bill now
pending before the legislature is that It
does away with viewers In the matter
Of the establishment of new roads.
Under the present road Law three view
ers are appointed by the county court
TO recommend routes for proposed new
highways. This affords viewers an
opportunity 10 show partlallty. and It
seldom transplrcs that route thus Sc
Iected meets with popular approval
among the people interested. II the
Carnahan bin passes. the county road
master and the county surveyor will
constitute the board OF viewers. the
surveyor heing empowered to make
first preliminary survey Of the most
practicable route. After this prelim-
mary survey Is made the surveyor and
roadmaster meet to investigate the
merits Of the survey and TO submit
their findings to the court. The feature
OF the law In question viii have the ef-
feet OF doing away with just such de-
plorable sluabbles as that now being
waged by the conflicting elements in
the Lewis and Clark valley. The cur
failing OF the power OF road supervis-
ors viii have the effect OF preventing
those officials from making road i'm
provements of benefit largely to them
selves. The bill has been very care
fully drawn and meets with the approv-
al Of legislators generally.

ed yesterday that the senatorial vote
showed no change, but well-posted men
expressed no concern They explain
cd the situation with the statement
that Senator Fulton had not yet under
taken his master coup. 1t was expected
that there would be developments yes
terday. but the vote was the same as on
the previous day, except that II. W,
Corbett received one vote. II was re-
ported yesterday from Salem that the
Astoria candidate had about arranged
for the votes necessary to elect, ana
that he would certainly be successful,
He is using much caution and probably
will not undertake to get together his
entire strength until such time as the
coup can be made successful.
