The county court made acme changes
In the boundaries of the voting pre-
cini'ia a ua mat session, wnirn are Ini
xrtant and ahould be carefully noted.
A part of what waa formerly Auburn pre
cinct waa attached to Union precinct,
taking In eeveral settlors out in Carlco
valley and extending tho road district
boundary on the west one mile farther.
A part of (Jlaukanle precinct waa added
to Oak l'olnt precinct and a part of
jpeer Inland precinct waa added to Uoble
precinct. Auburn precinct received
aoine additional territory, ity rulerence
to the proceedings of the commissioners'
court in thla iaaue, the lands taken and
added will be found deearitiecl.
The memliers of tho conntv court via
Ited the coal proapecta, weet of Warren,
hut Friday, with a view of determining
to what extent they ahould appropriate
aid tor opening up a good wagon road
into that region, interested purlieu bad
made an apiieal to the court to aid them
to the exutut o( 11,000, but after view
ing the altuation the court allowed $a0.
In the eipreaaiona of opinion of tome
o( the meiiiliera of the court It la under
stood that there are a good many act
tiers in that region who are In need of
better roada, and partly with the idea
in view of assisting them In gaining a
better outlet, the appropriation wai
made. The atlpervlar of that district,
Lara Itasititiasnn, of Warren, will likely
proceed forthwith to 0ien np a better
roan to trie nun, tnua aiding bom eet
tlcra and coal duveloer.
It ia becoming quite generaltv be
lieved now that the Northern I'acillc
Hallway Companv doea not propoae to
conatruct (lie I'lttatiurg apur, upon
which to much time and money haa
been expanded during the present year.
It la anlnorttlvely atatod that the pur
chase price of the Aatoria road la on de
poait In Portland, according ti minor
that the Northern people hail made an
oiler for it. Hhoufd thla deal lie con
eliminated it la not very probable that
the Northern would desire two roada
touching almoat the aame pointa. It
waa believed that the Northern'a inten
tion waa to ultimately reach Tillamook
with the I'ittahurg epur, but that terri
tory could be much more eaaily and in
expensively reached from Aatoria than
to conatruct all the way through the Ne
balem country. If the Northern people
make thla change In their programme
many people will be keenly disappoint
ad. It ia aaid that thla company ia de
termined to have an outlet to the coaat
on the Columbia or elsewhere, on the
Oregon coaat, and if the Aatoria road
can be purchaeed at what the company
consider a reaaonable figure, it will
eurely buy lustoad of building.

tieculiar matters is the problem of roads,
In all the different phaaea that the ques
tion so often presents Udell in. One or
dinarily would suppose that where hinds
were on hand with which to do road
work the supervisor would be eager to
put tha mouey to use, but there are cer
tain road diatriota in tha county, tome
with over 1200 of apportioned fundi in
their favor, which have not employed
the funds at all to Improve the roods,
and the court it helpless in the matter.
Complaints pour Into the court from the
people of the district In regard to the
iconditlon of the road, and all the court
can do U to aak the eupervisor to work
out the money. On the other hand it
keeps the court buay restraining super
visors In other dlatrlcta from using three
or four timet the amount apportioned
to the district. There are many thous
ands of dollars expended on the roads
every year, out ol the general fund, be
