SIX MILES MARKET
ROADFORRHEA CREEK
County Court Designates Market
Road For 1920 and Lack of FL
nance Prohibits Other Permanent
Road Work-Road and General
Claims are Allowed.

The county court has designated
a market road to be built from Jor-
dan Siding up Rhea creek for a dis
tance of six miles. This road will
be a permanent one and it is estima-
ted the cost will run near $4,000 per
mile. Owing to the limited finances
Of the county, it is possible for the
court to designate but one market
road each year, and for that reason
it was necessary to deny the petition
of w. c. Caldwell and others from
lrrison for the designation of mar
ket road from Irrigon to Heppner.
A road committee from the county
court recently viewed a route for a
new highway between Boardman, r.
rigon and Heppner. This route would
be the shortest distance between the
county seat and the two towns on the
Columbia and would eliminate the
expense of building two roads.
The court took up the road and
general claims allowed them and or
dered warrants drawn for their pay
ment.

getting on a better financial basis.
As result Of meeting held in De-
cember, when the club members we're
addressed BY Fred Curry, former city
mnager OF La Grande; the club de-
cided to adopt different course than
has heretofore been pursued, and as
result the committee which was
appointed TO gatner in the shekels,
mas turned in its report. This shows
that the business men of Heppner
have responded literally to the call
for support and nearly two hundred
dollars month will now be available
to carry out the various projects
which the club may see tit to under
take.
A noticeable feature Of the drive
u funds is the fact that a number
OF stOckman who realize that the ben
efts OF the club work will be shared
by the country as we'll as the town,
nave come i'll for their share OF sup
port. The city OF Heppner is also
taking hand in the move to bring
better things to Heppner and Nor
row county and have voted an appro-
priation OF S25 month to the club.

jects awaiting the clubs attention
and it is quite likely that our COM
mercial body will become active dur
ing the year just ahead. With more
business men making an investment
OF dollars into the club, it is to be
hoped that they will follow up with
greater investment of time than
heretofore given, and that all the
meetings will find a full membership
present to take up and solve the pro-
olems which stand in the way of our
future development.
