The proposed county road fiom
Beaverton to the Multnomah
County line, via the Terwilliger
boulevard, has been ordered s
tablished, and opening of the
new thoroughfare will begin as
Boon as Spring opens. This new
road will eliminate the big grade
over the Portland mountain, and
will mean a much easier-reached
Portland. The viewers reported
the damages in the Bum of
$2,000, and as the over two miles
of road runs through a fertile
section this is considered cheap
e ough. There will be about two
miles of now road to open up,
and the intention is to macadam
the entire stretch similar to that
class of roadbed between Hills
boro and Forest Grove. Mult
nomah will hard surface her
lortion of the road.
Ter.ciiers are especially in

like. A substantial, but inex
pensive, luncheon will be served
at noon. A souvenir will be
given the lust day of institute to
all teacher? who call at the Den
of Sweets.
(Jame Warden George Russell
states thut he has had less game
violation this season than for
many years for the first fifteen
days of the open season. Thii is
occasioned by the fact that the
"chinks" are very scare. Hun
ters should remember that next
Sunday is the last day of grace
for shooting, and then the law
shuts down. It is more than
likely that the next session of
the legislature will repeal the
hen clause and allow the shoot
ing of cocks only next year, and
there is a'.so a move to close the
limit down to four, instead of
live.
We buy hogs, beef cattle,
sheep, chickens, hides, etc. High

The county court completed the
sector of the state highway be
tween this city and Forest Grove
last Thursday night, and the
crew was disbanded. The city
of Cornelius started this week to
lay a cement street from the
Talbot corner to the West end of
the city limits, to connect with
the county roads. This completes
the road laying on the Forest
Grove-Hillsboro-Beaverton route
for this year with the possible
exception of the repairs West of
of Beaverton and from Beaver
ton on to Portland mountain,
where holes will be repaired and
some of the roughness dressed
down.
The two districts with Moun
taindale as the center will lay
rock for 30 days yet. and F. J.
Williams wHI lay macadam East
ward from the rocked portion
going from Hillsboro to Port

laying and when the season
closes 31 miles of good roads will
be the result of 1910 opt rations.
With the Beaverton end re
paired the travel from the West
end of the county clear into

01 HUNDRED CLAIMS
HELD UPJOR FUNDS
Tuberculoui Cattle Claims Filed
Since Last July Number 100
NO M0NEV. FROM BUDGET AMOUNT
EMimafed Tbal ai Many More Will be
Filed Before January I
When the budget meeting last
rail voted to raise the estimate
for payment of tuberculous cat
tle it was thought there would
be plenty of cash to meet all de
mands forthefiscal year -but by
July 1 the fund had been de
pleted. Since that date there
have been 100 claims filed for in
demnity, and these must await
the building: up of that particu
lar fund in the exchequer before
claimants can get the money al
lowed under the law. The coun
ty must pay $12.50 for each cow
or bull when grades or common
stock, and a little more when
registered. This means that the
county is over $1,250 behind on
cattle indemnity, and it is esti
mated that by Jan. 1 there will
be an equal number filed.
The state must pay an equal
amount, and the indemnity is
proving a considerable burden.
The herds are getting fairly well
cleaned up, however, and in an
other year, with close inspection,
it is hoped that we shall have
less of this class of claims to
audit.
The following list has been
filed since the fund ran aground:
