Of automobile merchandising that is
expected to greatly benefit the buy
ing public. The new method deals
strictly with the buying and selling

gun.
This will give the automobile own
err a chance to sell his old car for its
worth and buy new one at less than
the real value of the car. Practically
very make of car will be included
the sales, giving the buyer a va
'iety to select from.
Mr.. Denegre owner of the bust
less, says he expects to offer some Of
he best values in new ears that have
yet been made in Birmingham and
that he intends to deal only with new
ears. With the new ears we have
on the market now we are expect
ing to make good start, at the same
time seeking other bargains in new
cars over the entire United States

SPRAY ROAD PRESENTED
TO FOREST OFFICIALS

Judge Campbell and Commissioners
Bleakman and Davidson returned home
from Portland on Sunday They had
been spending the last week In Port
land, attending a state meeting of
members Of the county courts, which
was greatly enjoyed, and proved to be
instructive as well as entertaining.
They also called in on a meeting Of
the State Highway commission, as we'll
as taking time to interview the For
estry officials in regard to the Heppner-
Hardman- Spray road. Mr.. Belakman
presented some figures to these officials
of which they took note, and applica-
tiOn was also made to them to have
this road placed on their map for fed
eral aid. While it will take some lit
tie time to get this matter under way,
Judge Campbell feels encouraged that
the ultimate action will be very salts
factory, and we shall get from the
government what we desire even
though the State Highway commission
may not be in position to cooperate.
The outlook for connection with the
John Day highway near Spray, by way
of Hardman, is quite encouraging.
Judge Campbell also states that the
bond market is good, and the offerings
now being made of road bonds of this
county will no doubt be taken up at
good premiums.
