decided to adopt the plan recommend
ed by the Good Roads association.
Instead of reappointing the 40 dis
trict supervisors whose terms expired
on the first of the month, the court
this morning decided to give the one
supervisor plan a trial and this after
noon appointed Dave Lavender of
Weston to that position. This man
has had considerable experience in

that under his direction the road work
of the county will be carried out in
first-class shape.
Under the new system one man will

but the powers accorded him are al
most absolute. He will be held re
sponsible for the roads in every part
of the county, but it will probably be
necessary for him to appoint assistants
In the different localities or districts.
He will not be bound by any precincts,
however, and will be at .liberty to ap
point as many or as few assistants as
It seems to him necessary.

f-ixvuU Meetings.
So far as weather goes the special
services in Central Church could
scarcely have begun at a worse time.
Still the attendance and Interest have
been such as to Justify the prediction
that under anything like favorable
weather conditions a great meeting
will be held. The singing is a feature
of the work. The singing is a feature i
of the work. Mrs. Harris has a pleas-
tng meso soprano voice. Sh sings
sweet gospel songs not simply to en
tertain but to touch hearts and help
lives. She is a fine leader and gets
the congregation to singing "Songs of
the. King," a fine book, new to La
Grande, is used. The children sing
Friday evening. Mr. Harris is not a
"professlona!", evangelist, If any one
knows what that is, but Is a very
earnest and enthusiastic preacher of
the gospel. He believes the message
that he gives. Courteous treatment of
all marks ' the sermons. Clap-trap
methods of getting members have no
place. People are invited 'to come,
hear, decide and act for themselves.
The meetings continue for several
weeks, and their effect cannot but be
good. Though of necessity absent for
a few days, I will urge all friends of
simple, sane gospel work to attend
regularly After nearly nln years in
!.a Grande my word as to the work of
any people whom we call to our aid Is,
I think, of some weight, and I most
gladly and fully commend Brother and
Sister Harris to the people of Ln
Grande. Respectfully,
O. H. KING.
A sunbeam chorus will make its
first apeparance tonight. This will be
a special attraction.
