The county commissioners on their

South Umatilla county roads, agreed
that repairs should be made to the
Bridge creek and John Day grades
and already have placed crew OF

crew TO survey the road from Nye to
the Grant county line as soon as they
can be assembled. This probably will
be right after July 4. The surveying
party will locate a new road from
Nye to the county line and probably
will traverse Il timbered area, in which
event aid may be available for the road
when constructed. The party, which
included County Judge c. II. Marsh.
Commissioners Il. f. Anderson and
C. L. Dunning and Roadmaster r. E.

A military caste is very apparent in

! Notwithstanding this, the little brown
men are declared TO be friendly to-
ward the United States and other
\ powers and desire to emulate them II
progress and in world trade. 'Indi-
vidually the Japanese are very cour-
| teous and obliging; as a nation they
are aggressive to the point of strainine
! international relations in the orient,
he said.
The Philippine Islands, where, 22
wears ago. Mr., Hartman served with
| the Second Oregon regiment as lieu
tenant, were visited early in the trip.
Spots where his unit camped, where
skirmishes were fought and men were
wounded, all looked familiar. Mr..
Hartman went over the ground with
Major Eastwick and Captain Heath.
formerly officers in his regiment, now
engaged in business in the lslands.
The three men covered by auto in a
few days the ground that 1t took a
years campaigning to cover.
Questions Independence
Americans in the Philippines who
have no political gain in view and who
are otherwise disinterested, tell me
that it is their honest conviction thar
Philippine independence at this time
is not feasible" he said. There are
many Fflipinos who are highly educat'
ed and are capable of administrative
places, but the race, as whole, is hot
believed by those Americans 10 pc
ready for self government.
"I was told that even Asuinaido'
who led the revolution against the
Americans. has expressed the belief
that self determination for the ISLANDS
should not yet come. Americans VINO
have large investments there wouio
have to stand good for the Philippines
note If the islands were freed to go II
alone as nation"
Visit Interior. China
Interior China, which was visited
by the Hartmans, resembles agricul-
tural lands of the inland empire IN
places. Farms are small, however
methods quaint and people on the lano
very numerous Railroads in China
arc we'll built, having been supervised
by American and European engineers.
Koreans, Mr.. Hartman said, are quaint
in their dress and customs, and appear
to he a, cross between japanese ana
Chinese.
sarhe entire trip was wonderful ana
every detail was looked after in such
manner that nothing was left to do but
see and learn" Mr.. Hartman SAID ihe
trip consumed four months. starung

mobile and other accidents at cross
ings. The new sign is a metal disc "a
inches in diameter, painted a white

There will be cross lines and the let
tiers ar. r." will stand prominently
in the upper sectors. The sign will
rest upon an iron base, which will
firmly be placed in the ground about
800 feet from the intersection OF the
railroad tracks with the highway. An
important feature of the placing of
the signs in that they are to be so
located they will catch the headlights

give the driver sufficient warning to
bring the car under control even when
running at high rate of speed.
