Question of Road

INDIANS TRYING TO BLOCK
PLAN FOR COUNTY CONTROL
OF MISSION HIGHWAY.

Because the Indians of the Una
tilla reservation are seeking to block
the move to place the Mission Mckay
road under the jurisdiction of the
county court, the Commercial asso.

the bureau Of Indian affairs directly
This was decided upon at the spec al
meeting last evening at the request
Of farmers interested IN having the
county do work on the road

leads from Mission past the ranches
Of John and Claude Crow and Dave
Horn and up Mckay creek to the post.
office The road has been establish
ever. 1t has never been turned over
to the county and the court refuses
to spend money on roads not in their
jurisdiction. The consent Of all Of
the md ans along the road had been
secured for the transfer but the tribe
as a whole refused to sanction it,
The objections Of the Indians are
that they are amply able to look after
their own roads and that the county
has not spent much money on the
reservation roads already under their
jurisdiction. The farmers contend
that the Indians themselves do but
little work upon their roads, leaving
them to the white renters
Supt Swartzander has recommen.
ded the transfer Of the road to the
Indian department and has pointed
out the advantages Of such trans
fer, The Commercial association will
also emphasize the need of having the
county do work upon this road.

SENATE MAKES CHANGE
IN APPROPRIATION FOR
RESERVATION BRIDGES

Owing to the fact the senate
has amended the appropriation
for the Mission and Thorn Hollow
bridges 80 rs to require Umatilla
county to pay one half the cost
there is IA possibility of a hold
up between the county and the
government.
In the senate the bill was am
ended at the recommendation of
the Indian bueau. PREVIOUSLY
the bill as 1t passed the house
asked the county TO bear but one
third the expense. The Indian
bureau had previously endorsed
the SlnnOtt proposal.
If the bill passes the senate as
amended by the committee IL will
then be up to the county court
TO accept or reject the proposlti-
on.
