work of surfacing the new road under

the first of the month. Whether OF
not the road can be entirely surfaced
this fall is going to be n close dues-
tion, dependent much upon the wealth
or this fall.
These facts were ascertained In the
course of an inspection trip yesterday
by members of the county court and
Road Master Lee shannon The gem
oral contract for the road is held by
Carlson & Nyberg and they have four

contracts call for clearing the right of

no small job, for grading etc. Swift
progress has been made In clearing
the right OF way and in grading work.
It Is evident the rading work can be
easily completed and much surfacing
done. However fall is approaching
and freezing weather in the mountains
may put the road into such shape that
tho gravelling work may have to be
stopped before 1t is all completed.

KIRKPATRICK MET WITH .
FOUL PLAY IS BELIEF
EXPRESSED BY BROTHER
Missing Publisher Had Copy
for Advertising Matter With
Him When He Left Home.

That Jean kirkpatrick, former ed
itor and publisher of the Pilot E.ock
Record, met with foul play before he
left Pendleton is the belief expressed
today by Hugh Kirkpatrick, brother
of the newspaper man.
A thorough check on the personal
affairs and effects of his brother has
been made at Walla Walla since the
disappearance of Jean Kirkpatrick
the brother stated this morning, and
the effect of this check has caused
the local mans opinion that foul
play is responsible for the disappear
ance to be strengthened.
Quite quantity of reading matter
had been set up at the Record plant
TO be used in the new publication at
Walla Walla, it has become known.
The advertising matter, however, was
in K.rkpatrick's possession when he
left Walla Walla. and he was taking
it to Pilot Rock to set it up to be used
in the current issue.
There is also a possibility that KiIk
patrick stopped in Pendleton to solicit
further advertisements from local
men and firms to be used. Whether
he did this has not been ascertained
but an effort to find out whether
Kirkpatrick was so engaged during
the time he was in Pendleton before
he dropped from sight is now being
made.
Mrs. kirkpatrick, wife of the pub
Usher, is said to be intensely nervous
and shocked as result of the disap-
pearance of her husband. The mar
ital relations of the couple are said to
have been ideal, and Mrs. kirkpatrick
is fearful that her husband has mel
with foul play.
No news of any kind from the miss
ing man or about him has been re-
ceived since he left here August l..
according to Hugh Kirkpatrick.

Violation of Game
Laws Found by the
u. S. Game Warden
Three Confessions and Two
Affidavits Secured During
Week in Boardman District.
lEast oregonian Specially


BOARDAlAN, Ore, Aug. 20
George Tonkin. L. S. game warden
/ for the district of southern Idaho
/ and eastern oregon, excepting Lake
and Klamath counties, acting under
the L. S. department of agriculture
for the protection of migratory birds
has put in active week at Board
man, having secured three confessi-
ons, two affidavits duplicating an
absent Violator of the law, and evi-
dence in several other cases all in
volving the shooting of ducks ana
pheasants out of season. In the
pheasant case, Mr.. Tonkin states that
it is not the policy of his department
to aggra fate Il man protecting his
own property, but in every case the
hunter was shooting promiscuously
over the district wherever the birds
might be found In regard to ducks,
the department has never found that
they are destructive to crops and no
leniency is shown in case of shooting
them out of season. Considering
the size of the districts a warden has
to cover it is impossible to give close
supervision and Mr.. Tonkin finds,
that while there are many COM
plants and mch dissatisfaction on
the part of many eitizent at infrac-
tions of the game laws, yet people
are very loath to give any informa-
ton they may have against the vio-
lators. If the department is to
serve the people as intended it
should there must he full co-opera-
ton on the part of right minded citi-
lens in furnishing the warden with
what information they may have.
