Tarioua counties in Oregon have
borrowed from the state highway
commission sums of money to enable
them to perform work in connection
with the highway programme. If the
road measure on the ballot la rejected
In the May election the commission
may have to call in these loans in or
ier to raise money to prosecute its
work on the main highways, but if
the measure carries it-will not be nec
essary to press the counties, for early
repayment. This policy became known
at the highway commission meeting
yesterday, when counties were asking
Xor further assistance and when one
or two counties said they could not
very well repay loans due in 1920 and
asked for an extension.
The one county which "touched"
the commission for a loan was Crook.
Judge Wallace explained that with
out a little more assistance Crook
county could not proceed with its
ehare of the improvement in the
Ouhuco canyon. The judge was prom
ised J5000. A Lane county deloea
tion asked permission to put in some
timber Instead of concrete bridges on
the Pacific highway, explaining that
money was tight. Commissioner
Kiddle declared that he doesn't like
the idea of wooden bridges on the
Pacific highway. Commissioner Booth
aid that after the May election the
matter can be considered, and if the
bond measure passes it may be pos
sible for the commission to make a
loan to Lane county of enough money
to have concrete bridges built. The
bridges proposed are at Cow creek,
Camas, Swafc and a bridge south
of Creswell.
Another Section Dependent.
Also dependent on the result of
the election is the section of The
Dalles-California highway, between
Bend aud the Jefferson county line.
The commission ordered that con
tracts be let for surfacing such parts
aa are necessary, as soon as funds
are available.
Whether the Pacific highway, on
the east side, should go to Harris
burg to join the west side road, or
continue on south through Coburg
and thence to Eugene, was a matter
to which the commission gave a cou
ple of hours' consideration. Delega
tions were on hand advocating both
plans. As Commissioner Kiddle is not
familiar with that country, no de
cision will be made by the commission
until after Mr. Kiddle has been over
the ground. Both Commimiloner
Benson and Booth are acquainted
with the territory.
Frank J. Miller of Albany pointed
ut that Linn county voted $600,000
in bonds last year and designated
J100.000 of this sum for the Pacific
highway between Albany and Harris
burg, the route designated in the
original state road map approved by
the people. This route brings the
east and west side branches of the
Pacific highway together at Junction
City. The Coburg contingent wants
tlie road located directly south and
then on to Eugene, eliminating llar
risburg and Junction City entirely.
Figures were presented showing that
the change to the Coburg route
would throw $300, 000 on the state
wing to the paving involved.
Delay la Petitioned.
Word was received that a petition
wae on the way from Lincoln county
to ask that nothing be done on the
Simpson creek route east of Toledo
for the present. In explanation, it
was said that there is a bond issue
pending and that the people back
i me pona issue want a new lo
eation which will take the road to
Ulk City, The suggested route is
boat two miles Jonger than the one
me commission favors and would cos
far more than the $100,000 which the
bonds call for. No action will be
taken by the commission until after
ine election.
The Associated General Contractors
of the Pacific Northwest presented to
ine commission a series of suggested
cnanges for contracts. Many of the
euggesuons are mere matters of do

NEW COUNTY IS PROPOSED
riiA-N TO DIVIDE JEFFERSON
AXD WASCO LAUNCHED.
proposition Likely to Ck Before
Voters In November; Portland
Lawyers Handle Case.
THE DALLKS. Or., April 27. (Spe
cl&l') to create a new county ou
of territory in southern Wasco county
and in northern Jefferson county i
the definite plan of certain interest
In that section, which came to Ugh
today. The proposition in all proba
bility will be submitted to the voters
at the November election.
The first indication of the plan
came when an accountant, represent
ing a auditing firm of Portland, ar
rived in The Dalles and began scruti
nising county records which had to
do with the valuations of southern
Wasco county lands.
Residents of southern Wasco
county today admitted that a divi
sion was contemplated to be followed
by the creation of a new county. Some
denounced the plan sweeplngly while
others sponsored it.
This section of southern Wasco
county comprises that part of the
county south of Sherman county, ex
tending west from Sherar's bridge up
the Deschutes river to Jefferson
county line, thence east to the John
"For the past year or more I have
not been right physically; I just
didn't feel good at all, but last April
22d I had an awful attack with my
stomach which nearly drew me up
and I have been worse ever since.
"About the best way I can de
scribe the way I felt is to say I was
just leg-weary and all in. I; really
did not have strength to keep going
and I gave up all idea of trying to
work. For a long while I had no
appetite, but would eat anyhow,
though my food never seemed to do
me any good.
"I would go to bed at night and
would sleep, but apparently did not
rest, for I would get up just as tired
as when I went to bed. I got so I
could scarcely go a block but what I
would have to stop and rest.
"Well, I read about Tanlac one day
and that reminded me that a friend
had spoken about the same medicine,
so I got some and began to take it. 1
had been taking it about a week
when one evening, after supper, 1
started to walk and before I real
ized it I had walked up to First
street and back, about 14 blocks, and
never felt it at all, and then I real
ized that the tonic was helping me.
"I have taken four bottles now and
am just feeling real good again. I
am able to be back at the Exposition
Stock Yards every day and have just
aa much energy as I ever had. I get
up refreshed in the mornings now
and I have a real appetite which
makes me enjoy three good square
meals every day. Anyone who needs
a good tonic will certainly be satis
fied with Tanlac and I am glad to
recommend it to my friends."
The above statement was made re
cently by R. A. Dennison, a well
known owner and trainer of fine trot-
tins horses, residing at No. 214 East
Eighth street. Los Angeles, Cal. Mr.
ennison has lived in California for
2 years; he is 63 years of age and
as followed his present line of busi
ness for 30 years. He is well known
on the Pacific coast.
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the
Owl Drug company. Adv.
Day river and north to the Sherman
boundary. In this section is about
one-third of the present area of
Wasco county.
Portland attorneys have been re
tained for the work of preparing the
petitions bringing the matter of
creating a new county to the atten.
tion of the voters.
