the mills at reduced cost he
would have enshrined his name In

republican and democratic eau
cuses to select members for the
new rules committee were
changed.
BY the new program the re-
publicans will meet tomorrow
night, instead of Thursday, and

BOND ISSUE

If the residents OF the Puyallup
valley want a completion of the
state aid road, they must sub
init to bonding the county. This
appears to be the final attitude of
Commissioners Peterson and
Dickson in the matter. Both made
similar statements to this effect
at the close of the meeting yester-
day.
There would be practically
nothing left of the county road
and bridge fund should the county
cooperate with the state on the
road though the valley. For the
past Is years the Puyallup valley
has had over half the road fund
melon, and the commissioner are
now going to develop roads in 9TH
er sections of the county. Although
all agree that both the road
through the valley and the road
via Edgewood should be built,
Dickson and Peterson will stand
out for bond issue.
