site formerly occupied by the old
club house and below the Jones Gar
age. The Shindler building, which has
been vacant for some time, is now oc
cupied" by the Stanley and Neff gro
cery store.
One of the most important issues
now before the comemrcial Club of
Milwaukie and vicinity is the cantem
plated building of a footbridge aero
Kellog lake, which would connect Is
land Station and Lake Road. The
idea of a footbridge arosw from th
necessity of finding a safer and near
er way for the children of Island Sta
tion and Evergreen to go to school.
The present way is exceedingly dan
gerous, as the children are compelled
to walk on v th, pavement for some
distance where the Espee crosses the
River road. A great many problems
will have to be solved before any
thing can be acocmplished, so all In
terested persons are urged to attend
the next meeting of the Club, which
will be the second Wednesday in -September.

of whom are living. She is forty-six
years of age does not own a gray hair,
and looks far younger than her years
She is a small woman, a hard worker,
and says she has always taken care
of her own children. Mrs. Sladke
came to this country from Germany at
Itu years of age and has lived in the
Sandy country for eleven years. Hr
husband, John Sladke, is employed as
night watchman at the Sandy Lumber
Co. Three sons were in the world war.
two of whom served in Frances. Fred
Sladke is still with the army and is
located at the Phillipines but expects
a three month's furlough and hopes
to get home at Christmas time. Fred
has been advanced to Sergeant Major
and has the ambition to work on nip
in the army.
Mrs. Sladke's mother, Mrs. J. Han

Highway Work Near
-pandy Progressing
SANDY, Aug. 16. Work is proceed
ing rapidly over the whole stretch of
24 miles of highway, which unit be
gins at the .Multnomah county line
(seven miles S. W. of Sandy) and
meets the forest boundary four and a
quarter miles benyond Brightwood.
Several stretches are already roughed
in (1 or two miles in a stretch )t but
these will not be used for travel until
the. rock is laid. It is expected con-
siderablegurfacing will be done this
fall, and Engineer Eason hopes tho
road from the county, line to Cherry
ville will be surfaced, so that traf
fic will be in far better shape out this
way the coming winter than ever be
fore if weather conditions remain nor
mal this fall.
This road is in Class: A and the
work will be of the highest standard.
An artistic concrete bridge is being
put in at Alder, also at Cedar and
Wild Cat creeks. Large concrete boxes
are being put in at Badger, Beaver
and other small creeks.
This road transverses wonderful
scenic spots that compare very fav
orably with the Columbia Highway
scenery, and many claim exceeds that
strelch in beauty. This road will be
a great incentive for the building of
summer homes all through this sec
tion, and during the 1925 fair will
prove' one of the greatest attractivons
of the northwest.
Traffic is still urged to obey the
detour signs toward Kelso and also to
ward the mountains.
Government Wool
Men Visit Sandy
SANDY, Aug. 16. Admer D. Miller
of Washington, D. C. who is with the
domestic wool section of the war in
dustries board, visited at the home of
his uncle J. M. C- Miller over the
week end. Miller and an associate are
soending a couple of weeks in Port
land determining to what extent deal;
ers in wool of the 1918 clip made ex
cess profits, and where these excess
profits are found they are collected
and distributed back to the wool growers.
This checking up to see if, dealers
observed regulations whih controlled
profits has proven- worth while, as a
large sum has been collected frV"
many firm3 that sought to "put it
over Uncle Sam.
The wool section is establishing
standard grades in wool so that the
farmer may know what grade ho is
elling- and be able to understanu
prices. The wool section is aiso is-
uing quarterly bulletins stating
mount cf woo on hand, imported
and used. At present there is a three
ear's stock on hand because Europe
s not consuming and during the war
onlv high grades were used which
leaves a large stock of the the coarser
grades on hand. Though many of
the fcheep men are going out of busi
ness the tendency 'over the country is
for the banks to back up the business
until they (get on their ff t. claiming
hat a flock of sheep will pull itself
out in a little over four years even at
the present prices.
The active auditing work of tne
wool section which is under the man
irPTnont of the bureau of markets will
t,oon be completed and Mr Miller will
hen be in charge of investigational
ork of the fruits and vegetables ot
the bureau of markets witn Head
