SURVEYORS ARE LOOKING
FOR GOOD MOUNTAIN PASS

The road surveyors who were at
work for several weeks in the vie.
Unity of Bingham Springs have, II is
reported to the Leader, been order
ed to the summit on what is known
as the Umatilla river or old Thomas
& Rucklcs route across the Blues.
II is also reported that when they
finish this work they will be direct
cd TO survey the Elgin-Weston or
Toll Gate route.
A second camp of surveyors is
said to be located on Meacham
creek and will survey that route
and what is known as the Cabbage
hill route the latter being the one
selected by a majority of the Una
tilla and Union county courts for
the La Grande.Pendleton road.
II these reports are correct it
would seem TO indicate that the
state highway commission and the
federal government, who are sur
missed to be cooperating in these
surveys, are determined to investi-
gate every possible pass across the
Blue mountains before determin-
ing upon the route of the state
highway and the government post
road.
