HALF MILLION LOST
THROUGH BAD ROAD

Two hundred and fifty cars of cat
tie from southern umatilla and north-
eru Grant county are shipped ont each
year throush Pilot Rock and Pendle-
ton" says Robert Bond. Ukiah stock
man who is now in the city. "The sale
of these cattle nets something like
half a million dollars but this money
Is not expended here because the roads
are so back TO the south that people
VIII not travel theh or haul loads
over them
Therefore Nh. Pond figures that the
county is losing heavily in business by
net having a good road to the Grant
county line He also takes the posi-
tion that good road is needed for
the sake of Southern Umatila county.
He was unable to come to Pendleton
by auto until April of this year. Dur
ing the winter travel from the south
end must be by team or on horseback.
