WILL BUILD MACADAM Road
County Court Will Revert to Old Sys-
tenn of Road Work,

BY action of the county court taken
Saturday it was decided to enter upon
a policy of building permanent roads
in this county. says the East Oregon
ian. As soon as rock crusher arrives
that was purchased recently by the
county, crew of men will be gotten
together under practical roadbuilder
and started to work maoadamizing one
of the main travelled roads of the
county. 1t is understood that work
will first be taken up on the Wild
Horse road with view to construct
ing permanent highway frum Pen
dleton to Athena. It is expected to
build something like five miles Of
roadway this year. The work will
then be carried on gradually until the
road is completed.
In speaking of the action taken by
the court Saturday, County Judge
Maloney said: 81 telieve that we
should do permanent road work and do
as much as we can each year. The
county's money will rot then be
thrown away. By careful supervision
of the repair work and grading on the
present roads believe that we can
save money enough there to make up
for what we spend in building mac
| adam roads The read work is going
to be closer supervised than in the
| past. 1t is the Intention of the court
| to work the roads for a ooupIe of
months in the spring and then quit.
| Supervisors will not be allowed to 60
upon the roads any time thew may
wish to do so and then turn in their
bills and have them paid. 1t is use
less to work the roa Is unless they are
worked at the proper time"
However. the commissioners refused
Saturday to give up the plan of super
vising road work themselves and to
adopt Judge Maloney'a plan for having
the work supervised by three road
masters, each to look after a particu.
lar section of the county. At the
, meeting Saturday the county Judge
presented his plan and urged the com
missionsrs to adopt the same. How
ever the mmissioners refused to re
soind their former action. Commits
sioner Cock burn held that up in BIZ
district he would he held responsible
for the road work, even If roadma5
ter was employed. So he preferred t.
do the work in person.

AVERY LOOKS FOR FLOODS
Snow Four Feet Deep at the Sawmill,
Seven Feet at the Summit.

g. W. Avery, manager of the Blne
Mountain sawmill. was in Weston last
week. Questioned by the Leader con-
corning mountain snow, Mr.. Avery
said that it was then four foet deep In
the timber near the sawmill. He had
Eeen informed that it was between
seven aud eight feet deep at the SUN
NIT of the Blues.
He remarked that an unusual fea-
ture is apparent this winter. Never
before for many years at this season
has the snow been SO deep In the open
country along the canyon breaks.
Everywhere the bunchgrass is covered
with snowy blanket at least two feet
in thickness Usually this melts and
disappears and the hillsides are nearly
| bare.
| Mr.. Avery said that be had no wish
to pose as an alarmist, but he regarded
conditions this year as more than or
diDaIily dangerous. Should this vast
accumulation of snow on the breaks
disappear with rush under the influ-
ence of warm winds and rain, all the
streams which drain the Blues would
certainly overflow their banks and
perhaps establish new high water
record. He pointed out that praotic-
ally none of it bad so far found its way
into the streams, while usually there
are two or three small winter freshets,
thus lessening the danger Of hig
| spring flood.
