WORK PROGRESSING
ON HARDMAN ROAD
Party of Heppner Business Men Make
Tour Over New Construetion.-Good
Work Done on New Survey Which Is
Laid Out to Avoid Excessive Mud.

While passing along the route Of the
Heppner- -Hardman market road on last
Saturday, in company with Judge Camp
bell and other members Of the greeting
party" out to meet Gov oleott, the high
way commission and other members of
their party, the editor Of this paper took
note of the fact that there is much pro-
gress being made on the work along the
new survey on this market road.
The crew, in charge of George Moore,
has been working away for several
months now, and several miles of the
heaviest grading has been completed.
Vic Groshens is busy putting in the cul-
verts where some extensive fills have
been made, and he seems to be doing
fine work, his masonry is placed SO that
it will endure the ravages of freshets
and other natural wear and tear for
ages to come.
One nice thing, apparently about this
work, is the ease with which the hill
going out Of Mckinney creek at the Ste
phens place can be negotiated when the
new grade is completed. 1t is also placed
where there will be no trouble with mud
in the wet seasons of the year as here
tofore. On the old road this has been
very bad both late in the fall and for
several months in the early spring, max
ing it practically impossible to get over,
and causing much Inconvenience to the
Hardman people and settlers in the
south end of the county compelled to
travel this road. We are informed that
one of the highway commissioners criti-
cized this new survey quite severely on
Saturday, stating that the road should
have never been run up on the hill where
all this heavy work has had to be done;
we hope that he will make another visit
here and be taken over the old road
when the muddy season is on, and in
that event his mind will be changed in
favor of the new survey. As the road
is following the survey laid out by the
state engineers, our county court should
rest easy, and they are entitled to praise
in the estimation of this paper, for the
good judgment shown.
1t was also noted that change had
been made from the original survey,
where the road passes through the Ste
phens land. Formerly it went right up
through the alfalfa fields and practicAl-
ly destroyed them, and also merged into
some very heavy rock work in order to
get out onto the new grade. The county
has made a new survey following along
the present road and placing the new
road little higher up, and when COM
pleted it will be found much better than
the original plan.
1t certainly would be a fine thing if
the Heppner- Hardman market road had
sufficient funds to complete the work all
the way through, but it will take time to
bring this about.

BANKERS ENDORSE
J. S. LAND BANKS

Methods and agencies to be employed

Newsy Forest Notes Of
The Gurdane District

Work is being rapidly pushed on the
Gurdane Base Line trail 1t has been
extended from Silver creek to Ellis
creek, distance of five miles. The trail
is being constructed along section lines,
the section corners being plainly mark
ed and signed. Besides being much
needed travel route it will be base line
from which smoke-chasers may ride to
the location Of reported fires. Upon
completion the trail will be fourteen
miles in length and will pass through
the very heart of the most hazardous
fire region Of the Gurdane district. X.
A. Culick is in charge of construction.
The forest service and stockmen are
cooperating on the maintenance of the
Arbuckle to Thompson Flat road. A
small crew with team has been put on
the job. Trees and logs are being re-
moved from the tread, brush cleared
from the sides and the road straighten-
ed. 1t is hoped to be able to complete
the road entirely across the district. 1t
will be passable for cars. 1t will cross
the Gurdane Base Line trail at right
angles and will afford a north and south
base line from which to ride to fires.
The Hall canyon division of the Five
Mile drift fence is completed. A. D.
Hileman, contractor, completed the work
last Saturday.
A report recently came from the camp
of the Gurdane Base Line trail crew

investigate, 1t was McCampbell's con-

was found.
Government hunter McCampbell cap
tured a family of five lynx cats at one
clip on the head of Five Mile creek last
week.
No fires have yet been reported on this
district. The drift smoke from fires
elsewhere is so thick that the lookouts
can seldom see more than about five
miles The timber is getting so dry and
the atmospheric conditions such that
fire might easily gain great headway be-

are urged to exercise great care with
