Favor Roads to River.

There will be considerable sentiment
in favor of bond for good roads in
this county provided the roads can be
satisfactorily located and will provide
adequate connections with the Column
bia river, says Lou Hodgen, proml-
rent east end resident who was here
yesterday. According to Mr.. Hodgen
the people in his section are vitally
interested in a hard surface road con-
meeting at Touchet with the Wash
ington road to Wallula. They feel
that connection with the river will re-
duce freight rates and it is Mr. Hod-
gems view that this fact can be made
the strongest argument in bahalf OF
the bond issue.
