Roy Whites made a business trip
into the Monument country last week
returning on Friday. He states that
people are progressing nicely over
that way and he noted much evi-
dence of prosperity. A new bridge is
being constructed over the John Day

sary that the river be forded at the
present time, and Mr.. Whites states
that many an automobile gets strand
ed in the middle of the stream with
a flooded carbureter. The new bridge
will be ready for traffic in shon
time.
