In an (ffort to reach nn agree
ment on the boundary line be
tween the proK8'd North I'mpqua
super road district, and a tentative
district which the South Douglas
road enthusiasts, working fur the
Tiller-Trail cut-off, are proposing,
a group of representative men
from the southern part of the coun
ty met In this city yesterday eve
ning with the board of directors of
the I'mpqua highway association.
No final agreement was reached,
but the I'mpqua highway associa
tion will probably file an imme

leasing certain of the lands asked
by the South I'mpqua delegation,
nit hough there Is atill dome differ
ence of opinion regarding where
the line should be, located, and
final determination will probably
remain with the highway commis

immediate vicinity being the plum
that both districts desire to hold,
each contending the valley to be
tributary to its particular road.
Proposals for a com prom Inn by

A meeting of the directors of
the l.ouglas County Cooperative
Turkey Growers association was
held In Oakland yesterday evening
to plan for the coming shipping
season. All of the directors were
present and C W. Godlove of Ku
gene was present to represent the
growers of that county who are
uniting with the local association.
The Kugene growers have not t
perfected their organizat ion so
that they have no official director
to sit with the board in last night's
session.
An inventory was made of the
birds now signed up by the asso
ciation A definite report was se
cured on 3K.5UO birds with indica
tions that tills number will be in
creased 2U to 25 per cet.
The membership has been clor
ed for the first shipment, but the
hooks will be opened a train until
November 10 for members desir
ing to Join in time for the second
shipment. After November Jo the
membership lis-t will be closed
until the end of the year.
A report was received on the
meeting recently held here in an
effort to secure a new loading In
transit rate. The S. P. company,
it was reported, has granted the
loading in transit privilege on all
birds going to Los Angeles and
San Francisco. The rate to San
Francisco Is to be $1 20 per loo
pounds and the rate to IO An
geles $1 57. All stations between
Eugene and Ashland are affording
this privilege. A charge of td 30
will be made for each stop while
the cars are being loaded. Ii had
been hoped by the growers to ob
tain this same privilege for ship
ments east, but the company has
granted the new tariff only on
shipments to San Kranclsro and
Los Anee(.j
