Letters have been received here an nouncing a meeting ot the executive committee of the Orgon Good Koads Committee, to be held in Portland on December !). This meeting will weave the recommendations of the sub-committees with such changes as may be agreed upon into a detailed plait of highway procedure to be sub mitted to the entire committee, which meets in Portland on Decem ber 1 1. Attorney Dexter ltice and R. 10. Smith .of Itoseburg, are among the members of the committee from Douglas County. Wfiilo several or the sub-committees have handed in their reports, these cannot, be made public until passed upon by the executive board, it is known, however, that the com " mitlee on highway tax will recom mend sufficient funds to meet the Federal appropriations for highways in the stale and that the committee on highway commission and engineer will follow closely the suggestion of the present highway commission, with whom they met a week ago and whose members expressed to the committee a unanimous belief that the stale officials did not have time to look alter the highway work and that there ought to be an indepen dent highway Joard and engineer. Nearly all the members at large who were elected from various parts of the stTile, have written Interesting letters stating their vie.vs for the consideration of the executive com mittee and promising active support. C. K. Spence, master of the Oregon State Grange and vice-president of the Oregon good roads committee, lias taken advantage of a trip to Washington to attend the National Grange gathering at that place, to call on the National Highway Depart ment in Oregon's interest and will, no doubt, bring back Interesting data for the use or the committee. .Mr. Spence is due in Oregon this week. Dr. L. I. Hughes, who is coming to lake charge or the Government highway department for the North west; ii. J. Finch, engineer In charge until Dr. Hughes' arrival and who, it is understood, will remain here with the department: and State Engineer John II. Lewis have all been asked to address the meeting on December 1 1 and give the committee the bene fit of their experieyce and advice. This will probably be, the llrst time Dr. Hughes will be heard in the stale. As soon as the committee has for mulated a program on which it can agree, it will be taken up with the various members of the coming Leg islature, through the state-wide membership of the committee, for consultation nnd advice. "The Oregon good roads commit tee" was organized October .10, or a call made by the State Taxpayers' League to eleven state-wide organi zations, every one of which respond ed, named and sent delegates. Or ganization was completed and com mittees named at the first meeting. Several meetings of the executive committee of seven have since been held and the sub-committees have been constantly at work gathering information and formulating their reports. REASSESSMENT MADE.

At the lime of the trial tho evi dence showed that Mr. Hangert and his wife had Moparated, with the re sult that the latter leased the ranch to Kugene lleister. When Hargei t learned that Mr. lleister was living on the ranch he armed himself with a rifle and went to the premises.

One of the bul lets grazed Mr. Heister'a forehead. wlille other bullets were round im bedded in the walls of the room in which the tenent was seated at. the time of the shooting. Immediately following the shoot Ing, Mr. lleister came lo Itoseburg and a. formal war rant was Issued for Hangert's ar rest. He waived preliminary ex amination and upon being arraigned In the Circuit. Court entered a formal plea of not guilty. Attorney .1. O. Watson was appointed by Judge Coke to defend the prisoner.
