LOOK occasion TO inspect the much
vaunted Columbia Highway, and they
inform us, that while 1t is undoubtedly
fine road, and credit to Portland
and Multnomah county, and all that
still, there was enough money spent
foolishly, for fancy fixin's, etc, tc
have built good highway across Lin
coin county. Commissioner Irurt said
that they worked NTH might end
main to try and have some of this
state road money expended In Lincoln
county, but it wes like bucking UT
against stone wall and II might take
a little time to get results. Commits.
sioner Wakefield said that the only
way we could accomplish much, was
to get the outside cornties or the
coast counties to line up and all pull
together. That most of the outside
counties had expressed readiness to
put the shoulder to the wheel and he
expected good results to come of It.
The Commissioners of Tillamook
county expressed a willingness to open
up their toll road, which serves Lincoln
county on the north, making 1t free
road. Both Mr.. Hurt and Mr.. Wake
Held seemed we'll pleased with the re.
suits obtained from their trip, feeling
well renaid for the time and money
expended.
A suit was filed in the Circuit Court
this week with G. w. Harding as plain
tiff and Earl Nye as defendant. C. w.
Harding, as guardian of Tom Harding,
is suing for $4,000 damages for the
arrest of the latter, claiming that same
was unauthorized, ETC., etc. The COM
plant sets forth that Toms character,
his health and his self esteem have
been damaged to the extent of $4,000
and asks Judgment for this amount
Tom, along with several other boys,
was arrested by Marshal Nye the day
after Halloween, but no charges were
ever pressed against them. One of
the main offenses committed was the
breaking of all street lights, which is
very serious crime, and punishable
by heavy fine. This coming trial is
looked forward to with interest as 1t
may bring evidence to light to show
who were the puilty cu.prits and they
can be punished for their misdeeds.
