Road Situation is Cleared State and County Officers Effect a Compromise ROAD WILL CO THROUGH EAST ST. HELENS Court Will Adopt Survey But Improve Development!) during the week In the road matters have taken a decid ed turn for reasonable and satis factory adJiiHttnent of didicultlo. The question of adopting the survey as made by tho State Highway Engi neer from Clutsop County to Tide Cn-ek has been definitely settled by its adoption. The same is true of the adoption of the Nelialem ro id and the Mlxt-Clutsknnio survey and in this Issue of t lie county papers will be found an ad for bids on the work not already contracted for. The most serious question, that of the ad option of the survey from Tide Creek to the Multnomah County line, has been practically settled by a aort of compromise between the State High way Commission and the County so that work on this portion of the road will be commenced shortly. Tho details of the plan are not jet agreed to but In general the County Court has suggested that a new sur vey be made through West St. Helens by swinging around over the new bridge to bo built and for which bids are now being asked and then turn back toward tho railroad near tho school house. Thsl change hits been agreed to and Is made for the pur pose of saving the. building of one extra bridge with an additional dist ance of about one-quarter of a mile.

Wash., a half hour lat er, whero a committee of Knight of that city met our delegation and es corted them to the hall. This was the annual visit of this lodge to tha hrethern across the river and which Is usually given at strawberry time, the occasion calling for the biggest kind of a strawberry festival. Hose festivals may come and go In Port land and other cities, but the straw berry festival held by the Klilgefield Knight will live forever, and every tine they bold one, tho local straw berry eaters will hie themselve.i hltherward, for It Is a demonstra ted fact that no people on earth can compare with the loyal Knights of Ijkerlver I.odge, K. of P. ns enter- ainera at a strewberry festival, and no other people can hold a candle o St. Helens Knight ns eaters of the delicious berries. Mr. E. A. Illackmore of lildgefleld welcomed the visitor In a very apt and cheerful manner and for the visitors, Martin White Informed tho hosts that the St. Heleens crowd had come over to establish a reputation. not as growers of berries, but a con sumers of the berries. His state ments were fully and satisfactorily on West Side of Track Old Road j Ing will be done for tho present and all available money now on hand ! for the road in this district will be ' used in improving the old road as It tu now located with the exception of oue mile of new road from Colum- I bin City to Ft. Helens. Just what will be done with tho road from Wurren to Scappoose remains to be settled at the meeting of tho State Hoard and the County Court next woek. The money now available for road work In tills district Is $60,000 which will be used on the road from Deer Island to Warren as before stated on the old road, which H Is estimated will fix up all grades and macadam tho road the entire distance as well as to cut off some of the rocky points and straighten It out. The State Commission will then use what money there is available for Colum bia County from the State funds and hard surface tho road from John son Crossing this way, through Scappoose and as much further as posible, probably to the point where the macadam road connects at War ren. This will give a good road all the way from Multnomah County line a portion of it hard surfaced and the balance oiled, macadam, and the other road from Tide Creek to Clat sop with the $280,000 will ge graded and ready for the hard surfacing of the state as soon as the funds are available, probably next year. The work on the Nehalem roads will also start about July 1st and rushed to completetion as fast as possible. proven a short time afterwards. Records were shattered and reputa tions established. Gallcliio's orches tra furnished some excellent music and the solos by Miss Susie Ketel, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Metsker and A. A. Galichio were warmly applauded and highly appreciated. The leather medal for the largest consumer of strawberries and cream was awarded to Ulen It. Metsker with II. W. White and Martin White very close and en titled to honorable mention. At midnight the visitors from here started for home after voting the highest praise and thanks to the Uldgefield brothers and sisters for the very enjoyable evening.

YAXKTOX NEWS At the school entertalnmeu. held on June the 5th a paper was present ed to the people in favor of the Col umbia River Highway going through Houlton on the south side of the S.P. & S. track. A number of those pre sent signed the paper. Houlton la a very unattractive looking place, and there Is nothing there to induce the auto people to stop off. St. Helena la a beautiful town. with many pretty homes. The river, and harbor, and a number of busi ness enterprises, besides the court house, city hall, Its business section is decidely attractive Hiking. Let the Columbia River Highway go through the business section of St. Helens It will develop this secMon of the country far more than if It goes through Houlton, and it will then be unnecessary to build so many more miles of road.
