The passage of this measure means the
hard surfacing of the IJallas-baiem
highway will be begun this year ana,
while It is probable that the entire dis
tance between the two cities will not
be completed before winter, half of the
way is most certain to be finished.
Bids for the construction of the road
are to be let in a few days.
With the completion of the road as
outlined in the measure Polk county
will have many miles of hard-surfaced
highways, which will afford travel on
a loop of the principal towns of the
county without setting off the im
proved roads.
To speed up road development half
of the counties in Oregon voted road
bonds at the special election Tuesday.
The aggregate of the bonds is in ex
cess of $5,000,000, or more than half
the size of the bond issue for roads
enacted by the session of the legisla
ture in February.
In addition to these bond issues, sev
eral other counties plan road bond
elections during the summer, under the
newly enacted 6 per cent county in
debtedness law for roads. More than
51,000,000 in bonds is contemplated at
the special elections to be held later.
In most instances the bond money
will be used to co-operate with the
tate highway commission in the con
Etruction of primary roads, although
there are counties which intend using
it all for local roads. Marion county
intends to place its $800,000 bond mon
ey on a system of hard-surfaced roads
which will connect all of the populous
centers of the county. None of this
Marion county money will be spent
on the Pacific highway, which extends
north and south through Marion, and
which section will cost a round $1,000,
000. Marion county plans a five-year
programme in the distribution of this
boni money.
Linn Programme Extensive.
Linn county has an extensive pro
gramme for roads and bonded for $600,
000, which, next to Marion, is the largest
sum authorized by any county in the
recent election. It, too, intends to link
its centers. Baker county put across a
$500,000 issue and a large part of this
money will be for local roads. Having
had a taste of good roads, Yamhill au
thorized bonds in the amount of $360.
000. Among the roads that Yamhill
wants completed is its portion of Tilla
mook highway, sometimes called the
Yamhill-Xestucca highway. This county
offered co-operation with the state
highway commission at nearly every
session of the commission this year and
is already obtaining results.
For co-operation with the govern
ment and the state and to aid in build
ing a highway to the coast, terminat
ing at Newport, in Lincoln county, Ben
ton voted for $220,000, and Lincoln
county, which is sadly 'in need of a
road, went its limit of $180,000 to help
on its section.
Polk County to Co-operate.
Tillamook, which voted almost 100
per cent for the Roosevelt highway,
authorized $430,000 road bonds. The
county is desirous of having a highway
from the Clatsop line, along the beaches,
to iiuamooK, and thence out to con
nection with the road from Tamhill
l olR county went for $26o.("00 with the
understanding that the state will give
one dollar and the federal government
two dollars for every Polk county dol
lar, the bonds being intended entirely
tor co-operation. Home of this road
work will start in Folk within a few
months.
Wallowa, which needs many roads
passed a $300,000 bond issue. Malheur
voted a $230,000 issue. Of this sum
uu.vuu is lor me road from Ontario to
Huntington; l.o.OOO for the John Day
highway from Nyssa at the state line
to Ironside; $4.000 for the central Ore
gon highway from Vale to Iliverside.
-Another $5u.000 is for a, road from
.Tsyssa to Jordan valley.
To hasten the construction of The
I-ialles-t alifornia highway. Klamath
county voted $347,704. and Lake, which
wants a road from Lakeview to con
nect with .The Dalles-California road
somewhere near La 1'ine. voted $200,000
The state and federal government will
furnish the rest of the money needed
tor the construction of these two roads.
1'art of the Klamath and Lake bonds
will apply on the road between Klamath
Kails and Lakeview. Jefferson county
bonded for $100,000 to help build The
Dalles-California highway through that
county and Deschutes had an issue of
$12."i,000 to apply on this same highway
and on an east-and-west road extending
from Sister?. . Gilliam voted to bond
for $250,000 to apply in part on the
John Day highway, and Morrow county
carried a $2L0,000 issue for the Oregon
Washington highway.
ROAD CO.NGRESS TO BE HELD
Clackamas to Outline Programme
for Permanent System.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 4. (Spe
cial.) Clackamas county will hold a
road congress within the next few
weeks to outline a program for per
manent roads. The people of Monitor
and those living between that town
and Barlow are asking for the hard
surfacing of the 11 miles of road be
tween Barlow and Monitor. They ap
peared before the county court today,
backed by a delegation from the
Oregon City Commercial club, and
asked that the road be designated for
early improvement. No action was
taken by the court.
It is expected that the road congress
to be held will consider a plan for
raising money for highway improve
ment. Bonding of the county has been
proposed, and under the provisions of
the six per cent indebtedness amend
ment adopted by the people at Tues
day's election. Clackamas could bond
for approximately $1,500,000, but the
voters of this county voted heavily
against the amendment, which may be
taken as an indication . of their opinion
on the question of bonding for roads.
An alternative suggestion has been of
fered that the people vote a special
levy of five mills annually for a
period of years. The county is now
levying nine mills, to which is to be
added two mills under the market road
bill enacted Tuesday, and 11 mills will
produce about $330,000 annually. Five
more mills would raise a total of
$480,000, exclusive of funds from spe
cial taxes, and moneys expended by
the state highway commission and the
federal government.

highway more than 60 miles in length.
Ten miles of hard-surfaced road is al
ready laid and a five-mile contract has
been let from the Clatsop county line.
The highway will extend through Ne-
