The Good Roads association OF
Umatilla county is after the city OF
Pendleton. That body and particu-
larlv the farmer members has a stuff
ed club in pickle for the city if the
city doesn't get busy and improve
the condition of some of the roads
leading out Of this city, which, within
the city limits were declared by the
farmers at the regular meeting of the
association on Saturday to be the
worst in the whole country.
William Temple, one or the coun-
TVS wheat kings brought up the
matter Saturday when ne declared
that since the city had refused to pay
a tax 10 build roads for the farmers
in addition to the city road taxes
that the county roads within the city
limits should at least be kept in
shape. Mr.. Temple also declared his
opposition to county assistance in re-
building the Lee street bridge since
the city had taken advantage of the
terms of its charter exempting it
from further payment of county
taxes.
4 committee was appointed by
President Taylor. consisting OF DR..
Campbell. VIII Temple and Sam
Thompson and they will take the
matter up with the city council at its
meeting Wednesday evening.
Smiths Road Board.
Secretary Thompson during the
meeting read Senator c. J. Smiths
road bill which was referred to a
committee of two. Dave Nelson and
W. p. Temple. to be carefully studi-
ed and the committee is to report
with a synopsis and recommendation
regarding the bill at the meeting Of
the association next Saturday.
other matters coming before the
association were a discussion Of the
salary bill by which it is provided to
pay the county judge $500 per year,
an increase of so per cent, the pro-
posed removal of tariff on grain
sacks and the proposed coyote boun-
" law.
No definite action was taken by
the association On any of these sub
jects although they were freely dis
cussed. Considerable opposition de-
veloped TO the increase in the salary
of the county judge and W. P. Tenn
pie led the fight on the coyote boun-
~ bill. declaring that the wheat
growers should protest against the
measure as the sheepmen were al
legged TO have protested when the
wheat men wanted help to purchase
squirrel poison several years ago. He
believed the coyote fight was a fight
for the sheepmen alone.
DR.. Campbell objected to a remov-
al Of the tariff of grain bags which
he believed was preparatory to de-
cIaring the penitentiary made bag out
Of the market in America following
which he expected that the foreign
producers would take advantage Of
their practical monopoly to hold up
the price.
