COUNTY COURT APPROPRIATES $11,000 ,Mup Which Is Presented to County Court Gives Full Details of The Proposed Wugoll ltoud. In order that Gardiner may re ceive its share in the benefit to be derived from the Willamette-Pacific railroad, a delegation of prominent business men ot that thriving city today visited the county court, peti tioning for a road from East Gardin er to connect with the railroad at the Smith river landing. After hearing the conditions as related by the gentlemen the court agreed to appropriate $11,000 to construct the road, this being the estimated cost. When the Willamette-Pacific roud was built, if lay within a mile and a hulf of the town of Gurdiuer. A small station at the nearest point was called Drew, but the agitation of the Gardiner people finally hud this name changed to Gardli..'. In order to reach the city proper It Is necessary to take a boat for the mile and a half from the station to the toxvn. It Is proposed to construct a wag on road from Gardiner to this sta tion, the road to follow along Smith river and connecting with the roud at the city. This road will be I, mil over some very rough ami rock) land, while at other places It Is marshy, making the cost of construc tion high. It is believed, however, hy the court that the people of this vicinity are' entitled to a highway which will put them on an equal footing with the other cities which are connected with the railroad. Mr. O. B. Hinsdale, a prominent man of tnat place, ofTered to build the road at a cost not to exceed $11,000, guaranteeing that should the expense be greater than this amount that he will personally fur nish the balance. Furthermore should the cost he less than tTiis bid he will refund to the county any amount over and above the actual cost. A map giving a detailed plat of the road with elevations, curves and other data marked, was presented to the court that they might "oroughly understand the nature of We ground. Two propositions are offered, one for a road to 'follow the hill line and the other to follow along the bank of the river. The location of the road" will be left to the road viewers, who will visit Caruinor late this month. GARDINER NEN WAGON ROAD WANT TROOPS BE ORDERED TO GIVE UP CHASE Camnza's Consul Advises . Such Steps be Taken. BINDIT'S PRESTIGE IS BONE FOREVER War Department Refuses to Discuss Probable Abandonment .of Chuse of Hand It Chief. EL, PASO, April 6. Consul Gar cia, personal representative of Gen eral Carranza Btated today that he favors very strongly the withdrawal of the Amorlcan troops now pursu ing Villa in Mexico. Garcia declar ed that the punitive expedition had accomplished their purpose, although the capture of Villa had not been made, the bandit's strength had been broken and his men scattered and that he considered 11 unneces sary to pursue the campaign fur ther. "The withdrawal of the troops would not add to the prestige of the ertswhile dictator," declared the con sul, "as his power is contiletly broken and the Mexicans realize that he Is defeated, so that further pro gress Into the Interior might pre cipitate trouble." Garcia further declared that' the expedition had gone far enough to accomplish the punishment ot the Mexicans who made the raid upon Columbus. Gar cla is therefore of the opinion that the troops should withdraw as the Mexicans for the most part have realized the purpose o f the expedi tion and think that they have suc ceeded. Had Villa made a stand and do fcated even a small American force he might have become a national hero, but he can now never hope to gather together another army In Mexico. Funxton is No Mind Reader.
