"We Cold Springs people have been
figuring on a road to the river but it
is too big an undertaking for US to
handle alone and besides the whole
county wants connection with the
open river and so should Join in the
work." said Mr. Earnhart who was
in town yesterday. He added, The
mere you investigate and think about
the subject. the more you would find
this to be true
One Of the chief objects to be at
tanned by a road to the Columbia will
be to provide a way for moving the
wheat crop by water and thus reduc-
ing the freight cost. When the Cas-
cade Locks canal was completed a re-
duction of 40 per cent was made in
the wheat rate from The Dalles \
similar cut following the opening of
the Cello canal would mean three and
a half cents a bushel on wheat. Such
a reduction would make a saving Of
$4,000 a year to the wheat men Of
the county. which saving alone would
pay the cost of the road in less than
three years time.
100000 Subscription.
If a 100000 subscription can be
raised from among those who will be
most directly affected Mr. Earnhart
contends that the scheme will offset
objections that might otherwise re-
suit from using the county bonding
law and that the move will succeed IL
