of the state was to the effect that J.

the mill of Billy Welch and that il
weighed 15.440 pounds, and that
shortely afterwards it was weighed in
at the roller mills at 1880 pounds

but Of the interior generally and feel
that | am justified in making some
suggestions in connection with a mat
ter that will so vitality affect Umatllla
couty as good roads and their loca-
ton.
Umatilla county being a great pro-
ducing section, largely or farm pro-
ducts in which the freight rate is
vital factor, one would naturally as
sumo that the first consideration
would be given roads that would prove
of the greatest benefit in this direc.
