This can not Uo dono as long as tho coun ty "h forced to spend all of tho road funds In tomporary improvomonts on 1ia T1 n nlinnilnnntl rnnda " SjKjut Over tlio lludgct At tho beginning of tho year tho budget of tho county court wob mndo out and tho "amount of monoy sot apart for roads In district No. 3 hns been expended with many dollars additional. Howovor tho county commission- era, through tho road supervisor at forth Bond "is now trying to got luinbor on its credit to plank tho now road oponcd from North Bend to Emplro, but tho court doos not Intond to mnko any Improvements on tho Old Emplro road at tho pres ent time, for tho reason that thoro aro no funds for tho purpose" In Coos aro mora than CGII miles of road to bo maintained, explulns l-V.

Mlngus, W. J. Conrad, L. . Smith, A. S. Hammond nnd Hugh McLaln. The conference Is an Important one for this county as tho proper dis posal of tlio lnnds would mean much toward tlio scttlemout of tho coun ty. Many Acres Hero In Coos couny thoro nro 121,000 acres of tho O. & C. lands. Tho assessed valuation Is $20 nu aero. On tho lands thcro Is n total of about one and one-half billion feet of tim ber. Thero Ib a largo amount of back taxes which has not boon paid and this Is ouo of the matters which will bo considered at tho conference. Tho total amount of lnnd in tho state affected is 2,300,000 acres. Xcvcr Segregated Of tho 121,000 acres In Coos coun ty it is hard to say Just how much of it is agricultural or grazing land. In tho southeast and southern por tion of tho county thoro Is much land which is rough and consequently of no valuo for farming. Tho agricul tural lands aro scattered nnd thcro has never been any estlmato of tho nmoiint mado but thcro Is a good deal of tho total which would come under tho head of agricultural land and probably largo irncts which will conio tinder tho hoad of grazing lands and which do not contain enough 'timber of commercial valuo as tim ber lands. " It is probablo In tho final nottlc- 'niont that (ho lands will bo segregat ed nnd classed as timber, agricultur al and grazing lauds.
