UNITE TO SECURE ROAD.

At the Commercial Club meeting
Tuesday at Dircksen's Hall the
sentiment was unanimous that the

lnempers, should secure the rig ht-
of-way required and bring the
North Coast road into town The
advantages of a competitive line
were discussed by H. E. Baldwin,
Postmaster Scott, H. M. Ashbaugh
anu others outside the committee.
The committee who went to Yak
ina to confer with president Stra-
horn gava a report in detail of the
conference. Every member of the

resources of the> new road and the
sincerity of the promoters. Ad-
dresses were made by H. S. Anon,

ton. These gentlemen reported
that about two miles of the neces-
sary SIX miles of right of-way had
been secured. Work had been de-
}ayed on account of the recent
storm 1t would require much
time and effort. A more general
interest and enthusiasm must back
up their efforts if they were to sue

whatever aid they should call tor
in the future carrying -on of the
project. Several men promised to
give their time in seeing land
owners personally, whom they
thought they could influence. Ar
rangements were made to commun
icate with land owners residing at
a distance.
The great result of the meeting
consists in the fact that the COM
bined interest and power of the Or
ganization is now centered on the
work to be done. All know the
requirements and the difficulties to
be met ard are ready to put their
shoulders to the wheel. The de-
termination and enthusiasm mani
fest will overcome the obstacles and
secure the road.
