MICHEL, PRINEVILLE, OREGON WANT CROOK TO HELP RAISE FUNDS To Improve the Cow Canyon Road Meeting May Be Called Friday To Discuss Matter With Commissioner Rice Post Items. County Commissioner James Rice of Ilaycreek will be in Frine ville Friday as a representative of Wasco county in the interests of securing subscriptions from the people of Crook county towards improving the Cow Canyon road. A meeting of the businessmen will probably be called to consider the matter and see what can be done. Mad ras, Bend, Redmond and other districts will also be visited for the same purpose. The Shaniko businessmen have taken up this matter of improving the road and are asking that Crook county residents help in the work. The following paragraphs from the Madras Pioneer explain the situation: H. C. Rooper of Antelope and D. A. Howell of Shaniko have been appointed a committee to visit Crook county and ascertain what amount will be contributed by the citizens of this county towards improving Cow Canyon road. The situation with reference to the proposed improvement is this: Wasco county has agreed to give the Shaniko district for use in Cow Canyon, the amount raised by road tax in that district, about fGOO. It will not, however, ap propriate money raised in other districts for use on a road traveled chiefly by residents of another county. It is estimated that the road can be put in first-class con dition for abont f 1200, and Wasco county is willing to take charge and put the road through, provided Crook county will raise by volun tary subscription about $000 as their proportion.

We expect the Colonel in on Wednesday and then he will tell us all about it. Frank McCaffery reports the sale of the Jake Khret forty south of town yesterday.
