COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO
WORK ON PLANS FOR ROAD
FARMERS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
PROJECT AS SHOWN AT
MEETING SATURDAY.

Further steps TO forward the Cold
Springs road proposal are being TAX
en- by local farmers as a result of an
Informal meeting held at the Farm
ers' Union headquarters Saturday
afternoon.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and the definite action at that
time consisted in the appointment OF
two committees. A committee COM
posed of w. w. Harrah. Barney An
derson, William Kupers. A. F. May
and J. +. Montgomery is authorized
to secure legal counsel and take ac-
ton with view to securing dockage
rights at Cold Springs, the aim being
to vest those rights when obtained
In port commission.
The other committee is composed
of e. l. Smith, w. w. Harrah and
William Kupers and is to investigate
the status of the portage road to see
IL that road can be moved to Cold
Springs and operated as a state road
as a feeder to the open river This
matter was taken up at the instance
of +. l.. Smith.
The meeting Saturday was presided
over by r. o. Earnhart, president OF
the Farmers Union of the county. Mr..
Earnhart had just returned from a
trip that took him to other portions
OF the county. He reported that val
liable aid for the road proposition will
be forthcoming from the east end of
the county, particularly from Farm
ers' union sources.
The subject OF the road meeting at
Stanfield Tuesday evening was dis
cussed and II was decided to send a
delegation to the meeting with a view
Of impresslng upon the west end peo-
pie the purposes of the Cold Springs
road and to prevent them from oppos-
Ing the road through misunderstand-
ing.
Aside from the farmers 1t is the in
tention of large number of local
businessmen to attend the Stanfield
From present sentiment II
Is probable the Pendleton attitude
will be to heartily approve of the i'm
proVement of the west end road but
o urge that no antagonism be shown
10 roads desired by other sections of
he county. 1t develops today that
he purpose of the west end road men
'eem to be to bring about desired
Dad improvements but their program
ioes not call for hard surface high

O'BRIEN STATES ATTITUDE Of
O-W. R. { n. CO. TOWARD ROADS

interview with the East Oregonlan by
7. f. O'Brien. local agent. summar-
ICES the attitude the o.-W. r. & n.
Co. takes with reference TO the va
rious road propositions now under
discussion here.
THE O.-W. r. & y. does not want
to seem in the position of knocking
good roads" says the local official,
but it is easy to see that our pas
senger business may suffer il our line
to Umatilla is paralleled by a hard
surface road. 1t is but fair TO the
people to make this feature Of tho
situation known"
Regarding the Cold Springs road
the railroad company is not concern
ed. The railroad has investigated the
subject of building railroad from
Cold Springs and 1t is my under
standing It was found that the traffic
will not justify such a railroad. II
the people OF this county aided by
men who wish to subscribe money
wish to build hard surface road to
Cold Springs that is their business. -

WASHINGTON. March 22.-Amer-
ica's protest TO the blockade OF the
seas about England and the German
coast will be shaped at a meeting Of
the cabinet on Tuesday. II will not
be phrased in as vigorous terms as at
first proposed.
Secretary Bryan will report that
Ambassador Page has received infor-
nation Of promises by the allies that
they intend TO limit the war zone to
the smallest area possible. No defi-
mite figures have been given. II is
understood the United States Will be
satisfied with a limitation that con-
fines the war area 10 within a thous-
and miles OF the coast So far the al
lies have been unwilling to guarantee
that such limit can be established.
on account OF the informal prom
ises given Mr.. Page the government
has abandoned It's original plan to
make very vigorous protest and II is
now believed the formal statement
will be comparatively mild.
State department officials declined
Co indicate the nature OF the protest
out said It would protect American
interests fully. II Is expected Britain
and France will be asked TO define
the locality they intend to blockade
and state how they expect 10 accom-
plish any result.

no fight on the proposed Cold Springs

RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM
UNITES BULCARIANS

Milan, Oct. Ga military conven.
ton was signed between Bulgaria,
Germany and Austria some time ago,
according to a Sofa dispatch to the
Corriere Della Sera.
BY the terms of this treaty, the
dispatch asserts, the Bulgarian army
is bound to attack Servia with six
divisions in the Nish-Pirot section, and
to send Macedonian troops to Vardar
to destroy railway communication
with Saloniki, thus delaying the allies
in their efforts to aid Servia.
The opposition Bulgarian leaders,
Ghenadieff, Malinoff and Guechoff,
after having gone so far as to threat
en- King Ferdinand because of his
stand in favor of Germany and Aus
tria, are reported to have changed
front completely and now proclaim
that the nation is united Bands of
students parade the streets of Sofia
singing alternately the Bulgarian
German and Austrian national an
thems.

ALLIES PREPARE TO
MEET NEW ENEMY

London. Oct. 6.-Preparations to
meet new enemy in the Balkans
went forward in the allies capitals
while Europe waited impatiently for
Bulgaria's answer to the Russian ulti-
matum.
The London newspapers unanimous
ly expressed the view that Bulgaria
has ignored the Russian ultimatum
and the czar's minister has left Bull
garia. They expect war without fur
ther diplomatic exchanges.
How large an allied force landed
near Saloniki was not known. The
newspapers print Athens dispatches
regarding the landing. The Bulgars
are expected to attempt a swift dash
upon the Nish-Saloniki railway.
Rome and Athens had reports OF
great military activity at Odessa and
Sebastopol, declaring that Russia was
preparing to transport a large expe
dition TO the Bulgarian Black sea
coast. Military men here take little
stock in these reports.

decided to remain neutral for the pres
