$4.45 at the mine. the price set By the
government. and paid 81 for haul

we have no teams nor trucks Of our
own that haul from the mine. This
coal was sold at 1920. and was re

was sold at a price Of $1s5 at the

POST ROAD ISSUE
MAY DELAY WORK.
Federal Authorities Have Hard Work
Deciding What Post Road IL
Under ShackIeford Act

Salem. Ore, Aug. 23--When may a
road be classified as post road un-
der the povisions Of the Shackle-
ford act, which provides for cooper
alton between the government and
the states In the construction and
Improvement Of post roads?
The cooperation work planned by
the state highway department for
this year depends on the answer to
this question.
Two projects have been mapped
out for Cooperative work with the
government this year In improving
post roads on q basis Of the state
putting up a dollar for each dollar
to be spent by the government. One
Is the Wolf Creek grade In Josephine
county. and the other is In Douglas
county. The proposed work in the
latter county is in two sections, one
providing for the elimination of
Roberts mountain grade, and the
other In what is known as Pass
Creek canyon.
So far the Douglas county PROPOSE
ti0n has not been presented to the
government engineers, but the Jose
phine county project has, and It has
not yet been approved by the gov.
ernment officials because they say
enough data has not been present.
ed to indicate that II is to be used
In the future as post road The
government officials are asking FOL
more proof on this point.
State Highway Engineer Num- has
pointed out to the government dis.
trict engineer at Portland that II Il
impossible for the highway depart,
ment to furnish more proof on tina,
point. as the government itself de-
cides when a road is to be a posi-
road, and this is usually governed
according to population. Mr.. Num-
takes the position that all OF the
Pacific highway may be classed az 9
post road. so far as interpretation Of
the Schackleford act is concerned. az
rural mail routes will include this
road.
At the present time. however, a
rural mail route does not pass over
the Wolf Creek section of the Pacific
highway. and that is the point oven
which the government officials are
pondering.
