ALL ROAD MEASURES SHOULD
Be APPROVED SAYS THOMPSON

Support of all three of Oregon's
road measures on the ballot at the
special election tomorrow is advocated
by w. l.. Thompson, member of the
state highway commission. Two OF
the measures, especially, have more
than usual significance to Umatilla
county. while the third, the Roosevelt
Highway bond issue. is of direct bene-
fit to one part of the state.
The 6 per cent county bonding
measure will allow counties to com
plete projects now under way, IL
passed according to Mr.. Thompson.
At present counties with much In
debtedness are unable to raise suffl-
cient money to take up large highway
projects and the new law would al
low them the privilege of bonding
after voting the bonds.
''The market roads bill provides a
means for counties to take care of
market and feeder roads to the main
trunk roads," Mr.. Thompson said,
mo county can get more than 10 per
cent of the total raised in the state
which means that Multnomah coun-
ty will be turning over to the other
counties s265,0O0 a year.
The market road bill provides
county and state aid and Umatiila
county would be enabled TO build
first class wheat road from the dis
trict north and west of Pendleton tc

Ettrick, Wise, April S.-The resi-

freight engine roll into view over
their own miniture railroad.
After futile efforts had been made
to have the Green Bay and Western
railroad build branch from Ettrick
to Blair, the business men determined
to build their own line. The ten-mile
railroad cost 100000. A bond issue
raised $175,000 and business men
bought stock to make up the balance
The little railroad which now furn-
ishes an outlet for Ettrick's trade was
started while the war was in progress
and labor scarce. The doctor, grocer,
lawyer and butcher turned a hand to
the task in spare hours and soon SOL
we'd the labor problem.
Freight is now bring routed to and
