coifrt paid their respects to Judge
Springer during the evening at his
camping place near the heyl of the

exception of Messrs- Allen and
! Flory, started on the return trip the
following day.
These two gentlemen, accompan
ied by Supervisor Ross, went east
to Prineville, and from there up to
the Ochoco Forest, where the work
on the Prineville-Mitchell Road is
They expressed themselves as well
pleased with the work. The amount
of $2 000 has been recommended
under the ten per cent item in order
to complete the road.
The above news sounds good to
Crook county readers for both of
these roads will help materially in
promoting the welfare of Crook
county. An east and west road
will bring many people through
parts of this county that are now
being developed and will no doubt
lead to permanent interests in these
sections, while the Mitchell road will
give tne people oi that section a
market for their crips and mean
cheaper and better food products
for parts of Crook county and as a
natural result the farmers will buy
their provisions where they market
their crops.
It is understood that the Crook
Connty Good Roads Association will
join the Lane county people in com
pleting the east and west road
across the Cascades. Lane county
has already spent much money on
her side and Crook county will need
to get busy in the near future if
this road is to be improved this
summer. Supervisor Ross deserves
much credit for his untiring efforts
in helping to secure appropriations
for better roads in this county.
Thanks is directly due Mr. Ross for
the liberal appropriations made by
the forest service. With the 12000
now assured, this department will
have given $3500 for good roads,
while Wheeler and Crook counties
have each given $1200.

Weeds Should be
Destroyed at Once
On account of the late summer
rains during the present season injur
ious and noxious weeds on summer
fallow land and along fences and
highways in the country, as well as
in the towns, have become more
rank than for several years, and the
county and state authorities desire
to call the attention of all owners
and lessees to the 1913 statute re
quiring owners and lessees to des
troy these weeds. A maximum
penalty of $50 fine is provided for
the first offense in allowing such
weeds to grow on the place or on
the highway in front of a place.
For each successive offense the max
imum penalty is $100 fine.
The weeds deemed most injurk
ous are the Russian, Canadian, or
Chinese thhtle, the silver salt bush,
white or "JLn Hill" mustard and
cocklepur or dagger cocklebur.
Great tUninge to crops in future
years is imminent unless ranchers
generally, will destroy these weeds
at once and before they have ma
tured, which they will within a few
days if not destroyed. Any failure
to so destroy them at once may re
sult in wholesale prosecution in
every part of the county under this
provision of the law. It is the
duty bf road supervisors to enforce
this law, and failure to do so is in
excusable negligence.
