CONTRACT MAY
Be LET SOON ON
GRANT CO. ROAD
State Commission Will Help
In Securing Forest Money
is Promise Made Co. Court.
BOOTH SAYS ROAD is
WORST IN THE STATE
Details of Action Are Not
Yet Complete But Hope for
Action is Held by Court.

THE worst road that l have been
over in oregon was the admission
made by Chairman Booth of the state
highway commission after journeying
over the John Day grade to Ritter
yesterday. The condition of the road
was not sufficient however to jar any
state funds out of the highway com
mission, according to word brought
home by members of the county
court.
Despite that fact however 1t is felt
the trip by the state commission over
the road will be highly beneficial us
Mr.. Booth did promise to cooperate in
securing forestry money for the road.
On this point details are not yet COM
plete but there is possibility of get
ting a contract let this year. If the
work can be expedited sufficiently and
red tape cut without too much delay
it is believed something definite can
he accomplished although it is not in
the cards to haye the new grade down
Camas creek completed this season. A
recheck on the survey is to be made
and as quickly as possible the county
court members will consult the foresty
OlllCltlIS III OIuCt " S6b tONii ~ pA 1s'o
tacks One point to be determined is
whether the forestry department will
want county aid on the Camas creek
grade or can be induced to undertake
the work alone This and some other
points will be ascertained soon.
On the trip south yesterday the
commission went to the John Day
highway and on to Heppner via Monu-
ment. They reached Ritter about
1870.
At the present time the Pendleton-
John Day road is a state highway but
no state money has been used south Of
Nye. Being state highway it will
be subject to state maintenance even
though the new road be built from
county and federal funds. The ques-
tion of the bridge across the north
fork is one not yet settled. There Isl
a possibility an army bridge may be-
secured free of cost but Roadmaster
Shannon is skeptical as to whether
such a bridge will suffice.

LIBERALS AND LABORITES WILL

London e. G. B.)-It is learned
that the Independent. Liberal and
Labor candidates who will stand for
election to Parliament during the ap-
preaching campaign will reply when
asked regarding their stand on the
British policy in Palestine, that Great
Britain must fulfill it's foreign obliga-
tions.
The "Daily Express" advises it's
readers to ask every candidate
whether he favors the immediate
abandonment by Great Britain of
Mesopotamia and Palestine.
The stand on the Palestine ques-
tion of the members of the new
cabinet can perhaps be gauged by
