A GOOD FIGHT WELL FOUGHT

The passage in the Senate Of the pill au'hoi ~ . . the completion of the Alaska railroad at oo'. s17 900 900 marks a glorious finsh 10 'eiS ~ and highly meritorious fight the part Of Aiashan and Alaska's friends in behalf of Alaskan deVeiop ,nort and to get the Federal Government to per form her part in it as the greatest property o" and landlord in the Territory It means 'ha' 'n Alaska railroad will be completed and the srea Yukon Valley will be connected with the Coas' oS rail In the course of time it will mean the aeFeiop ment of latent resources that will nave an ou'e to the sea, and the making of room Tn the lefrlo' for much larger population Acknowiedeelieh' are due to the tenacious and broad visioned Secre tary of the Interior and the others of his Depart ment at Washington, to Manager Mclherson of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Seattle people; Delegate Grigsby, Gov tgs and those who backed them up in the fight; Chairman Curry Judge Watkins and the other mem bers of the Committee Territories in the House Senator New, Senator Pittman and the other mem bers the Senate Committee on Territories the many friends of Alaska in Senate and House. In cluding the entire Washington, Oregon and Califor mia delegations, and many others for good piece of work we'll done.
 The fight made difficult, and there fore worth the winning, by the scurrilous at tempt of Judge Wickersham to discredit the under taking and embarrass Alaskan development, il the hope that personal political advantage might follow the failure of a highly patriotic and public spirited attempt to aid in Alaskan development.
 Now the campaign for roads, and yet more roads should be prosecuted with the same V1gor that wal shown in getting Congress to provide for the com pleton of the railroad There be many mile' of roads constructed to feeders for the rail road through the development of rich coniguou territory, and the sections of the Territory whicl not contiguous the railroad receive tention.

 School to a dance Friday night. There has been no basketball prac- tice since Tuesday because the gym nasium floor has been painted for indoor baseball The geometry class
 laid it out, thereby gaining some ex-
 perience in applying the knowledge
 they have acquired.
 The slate blackboards have been
 completed in the first and fourth
 grade class rooms. The pupils have been waiting for them and all are eager to work at the new black boards.

the county to do any other county
road work whatever.

Second-For the people of the eoun,
ty to vote a tax. This could not be
done before November. 1915. SO that
no road work other than that provid-
ed for by the present fund OF $120..

1919. A tax could be voted of not to
exceed two per cent of the assessed
valuation of the property of tho
county. and this tax would raise a
maximum amount of about one mill
lion dollars. Tax is for permanent
roads only.
Bond Issue Possible.
Third-A bond issue for the con.

be voted by the people OF the coun-

highways for lard surfacing or for
permanent roads not on state high
ways. The sum of $250.0O0 could be
raised TO meet h requirements of
the commission as to grade down the
Umatilla river on the Pendleton to
Morrow county line road. or a larger
amount could he raised for n general
county Dad program.
Fourth-The county could from tho
present county road fund grade that

of $40. 900 to $4,000.

Highway Commission would graver

in November. 1918. either the tax or
bond measure could he put up to the
people to provide for a road program
for 1920.

Bond Issue Talked.
The arrival of men from various
parts of the county this morning made
it very evident that in all sections
there is n lively interest in securing
state help hat is available and III
bonding of the county is advocated as
n logical step to take in view of the
fact no adequate amount of money
can be raised by any other method.
During the forenoon word was re-
eeived from salem hi both houses of
the legislature have agreed upon n
ten million dollar bond issue for road
purposes for the coming year. 1t is
understood that this bonding plan will
be adopted outright by the legislatures
and will consequently not have to be
ratified by the people. 1t will maxi
a vast amount of state mone avail
able and thus increase the need of
county funds to meet the state money.

The most important suggestion pro.
duced his afternoon was one for a
