PASCO, wksn.. Feb. 20. (Special.) Commissioners of iVanklln and Walla Walla counties, in Joint session here, yesterday, voted to submit to the vot ers of the two counties the question of issuing bonds to build, a wagon bridge across the Snake river, the dividing line between the two counties. An election will be called in both counties on Tuesday, April 8, to vote on the bonds. 'Aa the people of both counties feel the need of this bridge, no great opposition to the bond proposal is ex pected. The cost of construction, to be equal ly divided between the counties, is estimated at .230,000. Present plans contemplate the location of the bridge 1300 feet above the present Northern pacific railroad bridge. Aurora Bond Sentiment Grows. AURORA, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) While some opposition to bonding the county is expressed it is evident that many more people in this section are in favor of bonding than fiver before. as the statement is oftan heard among the farmers and others that gravel roads will not stand the traffic of automobiles and the heavily laden triicwa Sentiment has chaneed greatly in the matter of both roads and bonds, but whether such a measure will carry the north end of the county is un certain. 1 A whale's skin, which In places is two feet thick, is the thickest hide on any living- jrcatnr?.
