Mr.. Severance and crew will then
begin work on the permanent loca-

So confident was the committee OF
the success of the undertaking that
they agreed to furnish $500 to fl
nance the project until the district
can be bonded, when this money will
be returned. But to guarantee the
committee against any loss sub
scription paper will be circulated lat
er but no money collected unless the
bonds fail to carry. This, however
is improbable, it is thought.
Government officials have agreed
to release sufficient flood waters to
irrigate the canal. provided action to
utilize the water is taken within a
reasonable time. The land proposed
to be irrigated is the lower portion
of the old Sturgis plan and lying be-
low the 1000 foot contour. Much of
the land has been farmed to wheat
for many years.

he proved as vote getter in the past
that all who covert his office fear to
challenge him. However, in the
event he should decline to run again,
which is unlikely, former Chief Of
police Tom B. Gurdane would prob
ably apply for the position as a re-
publican candidate.
c. p. Strain, a democrat also, is
looked upon to succeed himself as as
SCISSOR. He takes the position that.
inasmuch as he must work for some-
body he is willing to continue his
service to the public providing there
is a demand for the same.
Bradley and Welles.
G. w. Bradley, treasurer, and Frank
K Welles, school superintendent, are
two other republicans who have been
in office for a number of years and
who will probably go before the vot-
ers again. No opposition to either
has yet developed although for awhile
both Principal Nordhoff of the Fern
dale schools and Principal A. c..
Hampton of the local high school
were being discussed as men eligible
to succeed Welles. Both have, how
ever, positively declined to enter poll

LOCAL ROAD men
FAVOR COUNTY PLAN
VOTE AGAINST STATE AID
AT MEETING SATURDAY
Recommendations Mailed to Chair
man of Get Together Committee
@. A. Barrett Charged Bad Motives
to Governor West.

By action of the county good roads
association taken at a meeting held
at the Commercial club rooms Sat
urday that organization went on rec
ord as opposing any good roads bill
containing a state aid clause and ia
voring the county bonding PROPOSE
ton.
The above action was taken after
considerable discussion during which
it was made apparent that the ma
jority Of those present were opposed
to state aid and favorable to inde-
pendent action by this county
At the outset of the meeting which
was presided over by H. j. Taylor,
president, with Sam r. Thompson as
secretary a letter from Governor
West was presented by E. b. Aldrich.
1t contained the request that such
recommendations as the association
had to offer be sent at once to w. B.
Aver of Portland, chairman of the
get together committee which the
governor appointed to bring the con-
flicting elements into harmony.
In the discussion of the subject Of
road legislation the state aid plan
was opposed by Joint Senator c. A.
Barrett of Athena, DIR. F. w. Vincent
and by DR.. C. j. Smith. DR.. Vincent
made a motion tnar the association
go on record as opposed to state aid
and later he amended his motion so
as to include a resolution proposed by
Mr.. Barrett endorsing the county
bonding plan. The motion was car
ried.
Barret Aired Grief.
In the course of an extended talk
C. A. Barrett cast reflections upon
the motives of Governor West by as
serting that in his advocacy of the
good roads bill the governor is in
spired by a desire to build up po-
litical machine. He also sought to
cast asperions upon c. S. Jackson,
owner of the Portland Journal, who
has been a powerful advocate of
good roads legislation.
Following the session which ad-
! journed as soon as action was taken
Barrett was the subject of severe
criticism by members present who
charged his hostility to Governor
West up to the fact the governor re-
moved DIR. Plamondon, Barrett's SON.
| in-law, from the superintendency OF
] the eastern Oregon asylum, to which
position Plamondon was appointed b!
