Lake County Fight
to be Revived

An effort is being made to revive
the old Lake County fight, and in case
that the recall election materializes
for November, this proposition will
undoubtedly come up at that election
Kenmarc. which is located up in the
Gooseneck of upper Ward county, has
never fully recovered from the politi-
cal trick of some ten or twelve years
ago when the lines of the new counties
of Renville and Burke were 80 formed
that kenmare was left in Ward coun-
ty. That city would have been too
strong contender for the county seat
of either Burke or Renville county
and had to be eliminated. The old
Lake county project, which took in all
of Burke and Renville counties and
that portion now known as the Goose
neck in Ward county, was defeated.
Kenmareites now hope to see Lake
county reality. They propose to
trade Ward county, in exchange for
1mdale, Kenmare, Sauk Prairie,
Spencer, Baden and Greenbush in the
Gooseneck, the southern tier of town.

only town located in these townships.
Ward county would lose some of her
richest agricultural territory and
about 80 miles Of the 500 railway. She
would gain about ten miles of the
Great Northern railway on the Gran
Vile Sherwood branch.
Kenmare is about SO miles from
Minot and claims the Gooseneck is at
tached to Ward county, there can new
er be a very heavy vote for new
court house, or anything else that
might prove Of any particular benefit
to Minot, as badly as it may be need
ed. The new county of Lake could
comprise one or two townships more
than Ward county along the lines
proposed.
There is to be big mass meeting
at Kenmare on June "a, when the
proposition will be discussed. 1t may
be said that the fight is already. on.
Plans are being perfected for hot
fight. Kenmare will argue that the
counties of Renville and Burke are
too small and can never hope to build
expensive court houses. Claims will
be made that it costs too much to
maintain two sets of county officials
where one would do.

COUNTY JUDGES ARE
FOR PROTECTION

Practically unanimous is the senti-
ment of county judges of Oregon Tor
some law that will regulate motor
/ trucks and automobiles and thus con-
serve the great system of highways on
which the state has been eXpendlng
million dollars in upbulldlng. The
opinion of the judges was secured
/ through replies to letter sent out re-
Gently by Governor Olcott. The sentl-
ment, as expressed. is being used IN
creating a working basis for commls-
sion appointed by the governor to rec
ommend new laws for motor vehicles.
! A portion of letter written by Judge
/ II asbrouck on the matter follows
"You are TO be congratulated for
seizing upon the opportunity presented
! by the converting of the special session
| of the legislature to seek remedy for
the evil. J" said Mr.. Hasbrouck' S letter.
"While this year. due to weather
conditions. our Hood River roads stood
up splendidly under the enormous bur
den imposed by the movement of
large apple crop, some other year we
might not be so fortunate as to have
drV weather and for us, now Is an op-
porture time to impose some restric-
tion upon traffic.
"Your comments upon the overload
ed trucks operating over earth or light
macadamized roads apply here as we'll
as elsewhere. They will not, for long,
sustain heavy truck traffic.
THE tendency of transportation to-
day is to increase the unit load and
travel faster. Sooner or later the in
sistence of this demand will have to
! - 81
sistent limitations must be imposed.
If this limitation is stay to the mana
of progress time will sweep it aside to
meet the demand. even though we can
not see our way clear to do 1t now.
'The road problems which confront
us confront all counties, to a greater
or less degree. The principal factor IS
funds for road construction. The peo-
pie want good roads, but decry the tax
burden. At the same time ordinary
county road construction Is ten years
behind the advance in motor vehicles.
The result is obvious. We must have
regulation.
II cannot but feet that it is my duty
to urge you to invoke the aid OF the
legislature in calling halt to the eX-
cessive loading and overfast travelling
of trucks upon our roads ana highways
especially upon these roads where con-
struction is inadequate to meet the
too great burdens imposed upon them.
my observations lead to the follow,
ing conclusions, which are suggested
for your consideration:
"Loads and width of tires are prob
lens which should be left to the state
highway department for determina-
tion.
"Heavily-loaded trucks should be
limited to a speed of 10 miles an hour.
"All trucks should be required to
keep to the extreme right of the road
ut all times.
LOAD widths should, without ex-
ception, be limited to seven feet be-
tween extremes
County courts should continue to
govern load and speed on county high
ways, or close roads when conditions
require.
"AIl motor truck and motor bus
traffic upon our roads and highways
should be placed under the jurisdiction
of the public service commission ana
subjected to the laws which govern
other common carriers.

accompanied by Mrs. Eddy, passed
through here last week en- route to
Portland, where they will spend the
winter. The two. with seven men,
were marooned for two weeks at the
camp of high altitude.
Mr.. Eddy, however, says that re,
ports of grading crews, who abandoned
the camp during the snowstorm. that
provisions were low were erroneous:
He declares the men would have Jared
better, had they not attempted to break
through the freshly fallen sleet to
Parkdale. Blanket rolls and other inn
pediments found along the trail of the
hikers, he says. indicates the weary
task the men had in breaking through
the snow banks before crust, thick
enough to hold them up, was formed.
