SHERIFF WILL MOVE
TO COURT HOUSE

For the convenience of the public,
as we'll as the county officers, the
county court decided that Sheriff
Morse must move his office to the
court house, and the removal was
effected today. The sheriff has main
tained his office with j, II. Heilbron
neT & Co., at no expense to the COun-
ty, aud provided his now assistant for
routine business, hat it has been
found too inconvenient to have the
county offices divided, hence the
order.
Another important matter ordered
by the court at its regular session
Monday was the appointment OF u
county road master who will have
general supervision over nll road sup
ervisors, and direct the work which
IL to be done on county roads w.
l.. Clark was appointed. There are
not mRny such cticer7 IN the state,
the law making it optional with the
court whether such an office shall be
Crented or not. WasCo county does
not have q rond master, enCh supeTvIs
or doing tho work ms he sees fit ia his
district. As tbs matter OF roads iu
Hood River county is very important,
and l. Ia necessary that there be a
uniformity in the matter, aud that
the funds will be expended with an
idea of the hest good to tho whole
county, it was thought advisable to
make such an appointment
The road petition Of Frank Csddy
aud others to open road through
Paradise Farm, from continuation
of May street, was denied on account
of a number of Irregularities in the
petition. There was vigorous re-
monstranco to the opening of the
road the principal obJeotor being
Chaa Miller who saye that the new
road will run too close to his house.
The petitioners for the roHd will take
up the mnttsr agHiD, and sprobably
have another petition before the next
