The Catherine Creek Road.
W. 0. Wigglesworth, who has the
work of constructing the Catherine
Creek road has had much experience
along that line, says the Union Scout.
There are several fiills to make, a lot
of false rock work and the channel of
Catherine Creek to change for almost
a quarter of a mile. At least two tem
porary crossings mfist be constructed
all of which 'take time. When the
road is completed it. will be one of
the finest drives on the coast and will
be traveled by many people.. It will
also represent considerable engineer
ing ability and good careful work. It
will shorten the distance from Union
to the Catherine Creek regions by
about a mile and a half. This road
has been a long time coming but Is
now about here. Before the winter
8ets In teams will be passing over
this cutoff and everyone will be glad
for the new road. So far the road has
been built at a very small expense
an the county will profit largely by
the o. tlay. The Scout is in a position
to Mow that the people are consider
ably indebted to the mayor, L. A.
"Wright, for this road. They are also
indebted to Judge Henry, who has
been a staunch friend and supporter
of the road from the very start,

POSTING BILLS OF
BIG FAIR
SYSTEMATIC ADVERTISING CAM.
PAIGN COMMENCED.
Evident that Speeches will Not Be
Included hi Fair Program Again.
Natty bill posters, hand bills and
other mediums of advertising are be
ing scattered systematically from one
end of Union county to the other. Roy
Currey and George Currey, Jr., left
this morning with a wagon load of
bills to be posted along the country
roads and the other towns of the
county. They will leave again Mon
day with a second loud and so ou un
til all the bills are distributed and
the county thoroughly canvassed.
In addition to the bill boards, the
papers of this and Wallowa . coun
ties are keeping the county fair con
stantly before their readers with the
rer.ult that the fair will be advertised
to a degree seldom attained before.
Jfo Speeches This Tear.
It is evident that the fair will not
provide for speeches, unless it Is the
opening program. Last year several
important speakers were Becured for
the week, but once the carnival spirit
runs rampant, it is hard to get the
masses congregated at the auditor
iums. Music or similar attractions
may draw the crowds together, but it
is hard to get the entire attendance
at one of the big fairs to listen to a
speech. Bearing this in mind, the ert-
tertalnment committee is considering
seriously the plan of eliminating the
speeches from the week's program.
