Within the next fortnight the New

are looking for everything they can

tracts had been sent to some of the
players who turned down the first
offers.
Bill Kay, who has not signed as yet,

With the Wild Horse cutoff two
thirds finished, C. II. Martin, special
roadbuilder for Umatilla county, will
probably complete in February one
OF the most notable achievements in
good roads building ever undertaken
in this part of the state. By that
time he estimates he will have con-
cluded work on the deepest through
cut for a highway on the Pacific
coast. cut that will reduce the we'll
known hill just northeast of this city
from II per cent grade to one of
one and a half per cent
The work started last April but op-
erations were suspended during the
summer on account Of harvest and
resumed again October l The cut,
when completed, will be forty feet
deep and the entire cutoff will be
about one-half mile in length. 1t
was necessary to remove some 10000
yards of earth and rock and to date
there is about 5000 yards left The
cut has been made from both the
north and south sides of the hill and
one blast has been fired on each
side each month Each blast moves
between 1000 and 1900 yards of earth.

The Wild Horse cutoff is only one.

ken by the county court with the en-
ployment of Engineer Martin a year
ago. The other branches have been
completed, namely the construction
of ten new bridges in different parts
Of the county and the building of four

end Of the county. connecting with
the macadam road leading into Wal

Of steel and concrete, cost the county
approximately 10000 The Portland

The Milton macadam road is the
second installment of such country
highway built by the county court
with the assistance of the teams and
labor furnished by farmers, the
Athena-Westo road being the first.
Practically all of the roads leading
from Pendleton have been graded
with view to macadamizing them
next spring.

save one-eighth of a mile in dis
tance. and will cut seventy foot rise
down to almost level The Importance
of the new road to the farmers of
the county, both from a convenience
and safety standpoint, can hardly be
overestimated.
Work Done Cheaply.
One OF the most striking features
about the work is the cheapness
with which it is being done. The
court originally appropriated 100000
with which to defray the expenses,
but under the day labor plan and the
capable supervision of Engineer Mar
tin, the entire cost of the cutoff, in
Guiding the cut fill, damages and
right of way, will be less than half
that amount. To date only about
$4,000 has been expended and the en-
gineer estimates that the total cost
will be considerably under $4,000.
Thus, by hiring a special engineer,
employing its own labor and furnish
ing its own equipment, the county has
saved itself on this one job consid-
cradle sum of money.

HOME OF R. {. BAIRD
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire which broke out at 10 O'Clock
last night destroyed the house at 1928
Lincoln street, occupied by r.
Baird and family and which was
owned by Miss Myrtle Buzan, daughter
of George Buzan. The fire is attrib-
uted to a defective flue. 1t was dis
covered by Roy Baird, the only men,
Der of the family at home at the time
The north side fire company was
called out and fought the blaze single
handed for an hour and a half. The
house was practically destroyed and
will mean a considerable loss to the
owner. Insurance to the amount of
5000 was carried on the house, the
policy being carried by Coutts &
Hays. All the furniture and house
hold goods were ruined by fire or wa
ter but the damage will be covered in
part by $500 insurance carried with
Joe ELL
Those who responded to the alarm
last night and assisted the north side
volunteer company fight the blaze
point to the blaze as a good illustra-
ton of the need of new fire equip
ment. A comparatively few people
heard the local bell and those who
turned out found their efforts hamp-
cred by the fact the wrench on the
hose cart would not fit the fire plug
near by. 1t was too large and the
amateur firemen had to insert door
keys and other articles in the wrench
to make it hold and allow them to
turn on the water. 1t is held that a
chemical engine arriving on the scene
at an early stage of the fire could
have eXtinguished the flames in short
order.
r. K. Baird, whose home was de-
stroyed, is a local plumber and much
sympathy is expressed for him as he
also suffered the misfortune of los
ing his wife and a child by illness
about this time last year.

sheepmen are losing no sleep these
DAYS. on the contrary they are in an

that the grass on the range Is now
better than he has seen at this time
of the year for Is years. says Dan
p Smythe, extensive woolgrower and
for many years secretary of the state
association "The good condition Is
due mainly to the fact of the good
rains last spring. The sheep did well
on the summer ranges because OF
much grass and moisture Then when
they came down to the winter range
they found much good dry grass To
eat. That feed kept the sheep going
well until the green grass was ready
They are now in splendid shape and
should go through the winter well
The indications now are that the WOO
next spring will be heavy and of gooc
quality The quality and quantity o.
wool born by a sheep depends yer!
largely on the physical condition o
the sheep. If the sheep gets into ba,
shape the wool clip is light and th'
wool of poor grade"

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
OF COUNTY TO MEET

County Superintendent Welles has
just issued an official call for the an
nual meeting of the school directors
and clerks of the county. The meet
ing will be held at the courthouse in
Pendleton, on Saturday, December
21st, beginning at 10 o'clock.
In speaking of this meeting, Mr..
Welles said:
1.-The work of the school district Of
ficers is very important. Every year
they expend more than $200,00000 of
the public funds: they employ over
two hundred teachers, and have di-
rect control of the education Of sew
eral thousand children This Is a
great responsibility, and the school
officers should take advantage of ev-
cry opportunity to keep themselves
informed regarding their duties. This
is the principal object of the school
board convention. AS the session lasts
only one day, l feel that 1t Is the du-
tv of every district officer to attend
A splendid program is being prepar-
ed. the principal speaker being state
Superintendent L r. Alderman, of Sa-
lem"
The O-W. h. & n. company has
made a reduced rate for this meet
ing. In order to take advantage OF
the rate, the delegates and visitors
must take receipts from the ticket
agents when buying their tickets to
Pendleton. These receipts will be
signed by the secretary of the meet
ing and will entitle the holders to
purchase their return tickets at one
third of the usual rate. The tickets
may be purchased on the goth or 2lst
and will be good for returning on the
22nd.

that at the present time there Is
scarcity of wool. 1t is reported that
the supply of wool in Boston Is now
down to 25,000,000 which is lower
than IL has been in many years. The
scarcity of wool in this country has
sent the buyers abroad and the for
eign price has been boosted higher
than the American price. With the
foreign market strong there are indi-
cations the price next spring will be
good regardless of tariff changes.
1T is my belief from what l can
learn that the next congress while 1t
viii reduce the tariff on wool will not
take radical action" says Smythe. 81
think we can stand some reduction,
particularly so If the new tariff fixes
the duty on Il valuation basis so that
woolmen will get the protection that
Is carried on the face of the law As
the tariff Is now adjusted we get about
half the protection that the schedule
assumes to give. The tariff law does
not consider shrinkage and foreign
ers get around the law by skirtinl
their wool and then shipping 1t In
IL the new tariff will fix duty OF
wool on basis of say IS per cen

opinion the buyers should be offer

Salem ore, Dec. 12.-Women of
Oregon cannot serve as jurors. The
recent enfranchisement of women
did not invest them with the legal
qualifications required of jurors.
This is the unexpected opinion OF
Attorney General A. NJ. Crawford

attorney at Lakeview. Attorney Ven
ator asked the attorney general
whether or not women under the
new law are qualified to serve up
on juries, provided they have all the
other qualifications as required by
law. and Attorney General Crawford
says that under the statute women
would not be entitled to serve or
juries in this state until further leg
islatiou is made.
