Union county lias found out with bitterness what a wide latitude the word "interpretation" covers. Our people voted howls for hard-surfaced or paved roads, collaborating with the highway commission at the time under the full understanding that the Oregon Trail running through Union county was to lie paved. At that time road liuilding in Oregon was iiile new and, in order to he absolutely fair, let us presume the highway com mission was thoroughly sincere in the proposition to have counties do the grading and draining and the state to do the hard sur facing. But Eastern Oregon roads were built after the Pacific High way, or much of it, had been built, and after much of the hard surfaced or paved roads of the Willamette valley had been con btructed. As a result a new "inteipretation" was placed on hard furface, and now it means n macadam or gravel top. Under the original plan, the plan under which Union county in the best of faith voted her county bonds, we would have a hard- surfaced or paved road from the top of the mountain to North Powder. Under the new interpretation we have a grave J oad, or will have it when it is completed. Even after the last in lerpretation had begun to be used by the highway commission, riiauy of us 'yet had insurances that the road from Lone Pie, which is the end of the pavement leading toward Hot Lake, lead ing to Union could be paved. We labored under that belief until mother "interpretation" was issued declaring that there would be no more paving, and that macadam would be the "haul-surfacing" for Union county. In fact the Eastern Oregon highway commission was the first whom we heard state with considerable firmness that "there Would be no more paving east of the Cascade mountains." Thus the hopes of a generation wither and decay; thus the fact that Eastern Oregon must be penalized because she is East ern Oregon dawns upon us all. With , two fine paved roads through the Willamette valley completed before one gravel road is finished through Eastern Oregon, it can easily ha determined who wo me and what we are thought -of by the lower country , . . 'And it is all hedged around the word "iifterpretation," which v.e must admit is n great word.
