Pilot Rock Road.

Good Roads enthusiasts of Pilot Rock
and vicinity have "been on the job"
in lively fashion during the past week,
says the Record, and already have
raised the sum of $500 to be used in
keeping in condition the Pilot Rock
Pendleton road during the coming year.
More than 5000 was raised in Pilot
Rock in short time and when it be-
came evident that the good roads spirit
was at high tide it was decided to
meet with the County Court and secure
promise of aid for the Pendleton
road. A large number of prominent
citizens met with the Court Wednes-
day morning and agreed to keep the
road in repair for one year provided
the county would have the road graded
Immediately. The Court accepted the
proposition and will have the grading
started at once. The delegation was
then divided into committees and solic-
tied aid from Pendleton business firms
who are interested in having good
road leading from Pilot Rock to the
county seat.

What was considered by many to be
the most interesting and enjoyable of
the High school literary society since
it's organization, was held last Friday
afternoon in the school auditorium.
Owing to the resignation of Miss
Frances Fehr as editor-in-chief, an cleo
tion was held to choose her successor.
Ballots were cast five times before

position. After the program, High
school yells were given and the meet
ing adjourned. The number of visitors
present greatly exceeded that of any
other meeting. The next meeting will
be held February 2s at $3.50 p. m, in
the auditorium. The program will be
as follows:

Science room. The room was taste
fully decorated in orange and green,
the class colors. In the beginning of
the evening the guests were divided
into two sides to represent the "wets"
and "drys" and track meet" was
held which consisted of several anus
| ing contests. The "drys" won the
largest number of points and were fit
tingly awarded an empty can. A dain-
ty lunch was served consisting of ice
cream, cake and coffee. The remain
der of the evening was spent in sing
ing and giving yells. 1t was one of
the best parties of the year.
The Athena basket ball teams left
this afternoon for Hermiston, where
they will meet the teams of that city
in double-header game. The games
are the return for those played in Ath.

floor, which has out bounds. Next Fri
day night the Touchet High teams
will meet the athena teams in dou
BILE header. These will be the las
gapaes on the local floor this year.
lNThat the prospects for larger en-
Trollpent in the grammar grades are
good is shown by the steadily increas
ed registration in the primary depart
ment. Lahman Maestretti entered the
second grade this week, making total
enrolment of AZ in Miss Sherman
room. Miss Barnes room is also re-
ported to be full.
Mrs. W. O. Read was visitor in

ROAD BILL PASSED
DOUBLES AUT0.FEE
PROVIDES S20O,OOO IN REVENUE
Multnomah Forgoes Benefits
---Game Code Cuts Off Game
Season Two Weeks.

Licenses on automobiles and auto
mobile trucks are to be doubled under
provisions Of bill passed by the
House Monday and the proceeds will be
applied to the state highway fund for
distribution in counties outside of
Multnomah.
This bill, which of course is subject
to change. is part of the legislative
road program; was prepared by the
joint House and Senate committee on
roads and highways, and is compan-
ion to the general road code put through
the House last week.
It is expected to raise approximate
ly $3.50, 900 in cash next year and to
increase from year to year as the num-
ber of automobiles in the state in
creases. The money is to go into the
general highway fund and be expended
under direction of the State Highway
Commission.
The present law requires the money
to be sent back to the respective coun-
ties in the ratio in which it was paid.
The Multnomah delegations in the
House and Senate have consented to an
amendment that will permit all the
money to be used outside Multnomah
county. They believe that this will
aid most substantially in developing
the general road improvement through
out the state.
Representatives Crandall, Small and
other members from Eastern Oregon
objected to the provision giving the
commission discretion in distributing
the money. They declare that their
counties seldom if ever get any money
from the state highway fund except in
that accruing for the automobile taxes
and that with that money taken away
they will stand little chance of getting
anything.
Representative. Schimpff, chairman
of the roads committee, handled the
bill on the floor and assured the mem
bers that it offers the best provisions
possible for adequate road develop
ment.
The new game code also went
through the House. 1t had only ,
handful of negative votes. The bill
was introduced by the same committee
and handled on the floor by Represen
tative Corbett, the chairman. 1t make'
some important changes in the present
game laws. It cuts two weeks off thu
deer season all over the state, making
the season west of the Cascades Au
gust l5 to October 10, and east of the
Cascades September to October 81.
1t prohibits the shooting of Chinese
pheasant hens and cuts the bag limit
on trout from 75 to 80 and from &c
pounds to 30 pounds. 1t re-enacts the
1918 deer-dogging law, which prohibits
the trailing of deer with dogs. This
is much more stringent measure than
the one passed in 1915.
There are too many lobbyists around
the Capitol to suit Representative Roy
Ritner. He introduced a resolution ir
the House to restrict their "pernicious
activities" The resolution calls at
tention to the fact that the lobbyists

fered with members at their desks. HI

pass the one decreasing the salary Of

Peculiar Horse Dis ease.

A disease that has been puzzling
horse raisers has shown UP on a num-
ber of horses taken from Ukiah to
Grant county to winter. Several OF
the animals have died and some attrib-
ute it to their being kept on dry feed
80 long while others think 1t is some
disease. One popularity is that the
horses that have died were all fat and
seemed to break down in the back and
when once down, they cannot get up
again.
