Road May Be Open for
Union County Fair.
ELGIN". June 2H. The Elgin-T.a
Grande highway will lie open for
traffic before winter, although it
may not be completed, according to
assurance given this week by Coun
ty Judge U. G. Couch. Judge Couch
stated that the contractors who are
to 'put in the fill had been given
strong hints that it is time for
thorn to get into action- i
i A. 1). Kern of 'Portland, contrac-j
tor, has responded by declaring that I
I he will have tho dirt in within a
: month. A steam shovel will be used
in making the cut on tho Hbinehart
side of 'the river and it is probable
that the materials will bo moved
down by a tramway to the course
of the highway across the river.
The steam shovel is to be made on
hands within the next few days, not
: later than the Jirst cf the week. 1 he
i cement bridge has seasoned .suffi
ciently to allow tho work to go on
j and it will begin immediately, ac
cording to the assurance given Judge
I ('ouch. lie is hardly expecting the
fill lo be completed within a month,
but is willing to take six weeks as
a fair estimate-

the fill tc Elgin is expected to he

.which has the contract, lias been held
up by bad luck on the Minum hill.
Their crusher is going in good shape
there now, and is working two shifts,
but bieakdowns, coupled with late
'rains, have delayed the work so that
; they will be more than il month
;late in getting to the quarry sitc j
ijust below the new bridge. From
(this point they will rock the main'
highway tn Elgin and will also rock!
the Indian Creek market road which i
Ithev ai(. now grading,
I The amount of work co-npleted he-1
I Tore winter, depends entirely upon
the weather and the luck encountered!
'during the next three months. Judge
Couch believes that the highway wil, ;
: be in shape for all year travel and
it is possible that it can be opened
in time for the Union County Kail
or before-

.Decomposed Body Found on
Snydl Island on Umatilla
River by Woman.
PENDLETON, June 28. The hedy
of an unknown man, in a state of
decomposition indicating that death
occurred a rnonth ago; clad in a
ilurk suit with th0 pockets turned
inside out and lying close to an
emptv pocket book, was found last
evening under a tree on a small
island in the Umatilla river between
the McX'onms and Pedro places a
milrt.wcst af town, by Mrs. F. A.
('Michael and a party of children.
iMrs. Michael, with children r neda
nnd Douglas and accompanied by
Jean Amoureaux sought the spot fot1
a picnic and came upon the body
of the man at dusk. It lay in full
view and Mrs. Michael expresses sur
prise that it was not found before.
Coroner J. T. Brown, who brought
the 'body to Pendleton, says that it
is in such a conditii u that it is dif
ficult to ascertain whether or not
death was due to natural causes
The disordered pockets and the
empty wallet indicate theft,' but.
whether or not tho man was robbed
land then killed or whether some
passerby looted the man after find
ing him dead is difficult to sur
mise, savs Mr. -Brown. A silver
watch was left en tho body, but
there are no papers and no clue to
identity tho deceased.
The man was about (0 years old,
Mr- Brown believes, and about five
feet five inches tall, and his weight
is estimated at lot) pounds. Hi

quality and was worn with a tan
