in the next few weeks Samuel Lancas-

suggested that Mr.. Lancaster deliver
his road lecture. The lecture Is illus

Secretary Scott stated that he had
recently written to United States Sem

been introduced in the senate providing

been referred back from the Public
Buildings and Grounds committee with
the recommendation that il be amended
to provide only for $4,000, it having
been ascertained by the secretary OF
the treasury that a building in Hood
River should not cost over $50, 600. and
that lot could be purchased for
Sl4, 900.
