Local Men Home.
Well satisfied with their trip to Sa--
lem eight of the local men who left
here for the capital city Monday re-
turned home this morning. H. j.
Taylor, president of the Umatilla
county good roads association re-
mained in Portland and will not reach
here until Saturday.
At Salem the local men went at
length into the subject of the good
roads measures that are before the
legislature and also inquired as to the
status of the branch asylum. The
introduction of the bill asking the
100000 appropriation for the asylum
was made at the request of the COM
mitteemen following their consulta-
ton with Governor West Tuesday.
Until then it had been the intention
of the Umatilla delegation to have the
branch asylum appropriation go into
the general budget.
Tuesday afternoon it was stated
about the state house that the legis-
dative committee would submit their
report the following day. Accordingly
the local delegation determined to re-
main over another day and hear the
same. However, the report was not
forthcoming owing to changes that
were being made and last evening it
was understood the report would be
submitted this morning.
Immediately after the arrival of
the delegation in Salem inquiries
were made as to the good roads meas
ures. Copies of the various bills with
all the amendments to date were Civ
en- the committee by Representative
L. L. Mann who is the chairman of
the roads committee in the house.
After a careful investigation of the
state aid and the highway commits
sion bills President H. ]. Taylor and
Secretary Sam Thompson announced
their entire satisfaction with the
same. Therefore in accordance with
instructions given them by the good
roads association they notified the
members of the Umatilla legislative
delegation that the county good roads
association stood for the adoption OF
the measures. The approval of the
Commercial association representa-
tives was also given. In response the
members OF the delegation stated that
the recommendation would be duly
considered. From appearances at
this time the five members OF the
delegation will all stand for the good
roads measures when time for pas
sage comes. At this time the stu
alton is practically up to the house
since the senate has already adopted
all of the bills save one.
