Hog Hollow Road
Will be Improved
by County Court
NATTER OF RELOCATING HIGH.
WAY ALSO DISCUSSED AT A
JOINT MEETING.


Steps looking to the Immediate i'm.
provement of the Hog Hollow road
or the relocation Of the road were de.
termined upon yesterday by the coun-
ty courts of Umatllla and Morrow
county at joint meeting with citi.
zens of the two counties at the boun-
dairy line near Vlnson yesterday.
To secure the improvement of this
road was the primary purpose of the
meeting. The road through Hog Hol-
low, part of which is in Umatilla and
part in Morrow, is the worst part OF
the intercounty road. The matter OF
relocating the road so that ii would
leave Butter creek at the first can
yon north of Hog Hollow was discuss
ed and those present went on record
as favoring a survey and estimate Of
the cost of such a change. The new
road would pass through the Pat Do
herty land for a distance of three
miles and Mr. Doherty stated that he
would expect market value for the
right Of way and compensation for the
change Of fences.
Both courts stated that they had lit
tie money at this time to spend but,
at the suggestions OF the others, held
separate meeting and decided to
make the survey and estimate at once
and to make necessary improvements
to the most feasible route.
Bond Issue Discussed.
The s9sO.0O0 bond issue for good
roads was discussed to some extent

Rock delegation, declared that, IL the
measure on the ballot contemplates
that the $4,000 allotted to the south
end of the county shall be spent upon
the road between Pendleton and Pi-

STAGE DOOR JOHNNlES

Speaking of cities. few spots in Eng
land have l'een laid more desolate by
the wal than the stage door of the late
George Edwardes's Gaiety theater.
Which has shared for a decade with
America the distinction of being u
recognized recruiting ground for the
new blood of the British peerage.
BY the scores and hundreds those
monocled, silk hated triflers-standbys
OF the comic weeklies-have been pill
ing themselves into the trenches and
the death rap of the Dardanelles. No
class of the English public has offered
to the risk of death "a greater propor-
tlon OF it's young men than the Johnny
class: and among no class have the

were. These gay, inconscquential.
light spirited youths rising at their
couhtrys call as to a sporting adven-
lure and abandoning instantly the
frothy pleasures of the town. have
gone down by dozens upon dozens.
There has been. of course, a per-
fectly logical reason for this; wine
suppers At the Savoy are not the best
training for life in q shell swept trench.
bu. the matter has gone deeper than
that. Ridiculous as it may seem at
first. these Johnnies We're commits
stoned, With almost no training, as Of

a necessity. Your average English SOL
dier-or at least his was true at the
outbreak of III war-was simply UNI
able to follow one of his own social
rank. The tradition of centuries that
utter all there was innate superiority
IN the nobility was too strong to be
overcome in a day. So The %Johnnies,
with the best titles in England, nomi-
nally led and, following that other
tradition. now happily being discarded.
that the officer must take equal or
greater risks than his men. exposed
themselves unflinchingly.
The result was inevitable. and that
trifle OF frivolity. the Gaiety's stage
door. is deserted and desolate. No
longer the line of cleaning motors
stands at the curb of the half lighted
street by which the pink and cream
frou frous of the theater made their
proud and gorgeous exits. each with n
touch of makeup left. ach with the
dream that ~ months hence she would
be making her curtsey before the
queen. No longer may the rumlny
faced guardian O. that historic spot
feast his eyes nightly upon the blood
and wealth and youth of his majcsty's
realm. Most OF his one-tin,e benefac-
tors he will never see again.
A strange recruiting ground for he

ton of the eve present spirit Of
