Peary really did was to transfer

these crushers, some assurance that
some definite number Of miles of roads
would be built, to show that the people
of Walla Walla county are interested
in this important item of public i'm

At this meeting assurances were Civ

miles of road would be built in the
county within the next two years, ana
