About 25 per sons came from the Valley and about as many more got on the train at Elk City. Toledo and at,8" !.?l'!ff.h.er a geiiuciimii port said about one hundred years ago they had the same kind of winter and spring. He said it rained all summer and the bays and sloughs were cov ered with ducks and geese. He thought the same kind of weather would be repeated this Bummer. The Commercial Club held very interesting meeting at wm'"'"'cam9 back from Beaver Creek A large amuum-m uumiicoo wuo transacted. A number of very !"te-Ug.I!Lr among them a report oil the Beaver Creek road. The people munlty have in that i com- exhibited as much or more nubile spirit in the matter of building roads than any other section of the county. The road they are building now runs from Ona on the north side of-Beaver Creek to the beach at the mouth of ,1,. o,,i' inquire of four! the creek, a distance or lour miles. It will cost $1,000 per mile to build the road. The brushed out the and the next thing to blow out the stumps, This will require about 1500 or; 2000 pounds of powder. Mr. M. L Commons and Bud Webber the road supervisor, were by in- ! vltatlon of the Club, present and explained in detail what the . community had done towards building the road. Mr. Com mons was the spokesman. He complimented the County Court for what it had done to aid in building the road and the peo ple for what they had done to help in the work. Giving one months labor gratuitously for that purpose which is equiva lent to $1,000 and completes one mile of roajl. The people of that neighborhood are anx ious to get to the market and a snipping point. rnis roaa gives them a water grade, and an easy way to get out. Mr. Commons asked that the New port people buy the powder for blasting out of the stumps. A committee of five was appointed to look into the matter at once and report. It is thought that 30 percent of the Newport road fund could be applied for that purpose. The good roads proposition is the most important question be fore the people. The County Court, under the direction of the road master Mr. ' A. J. Porter, has planed a large amount of road work for this year. The proposed road from Elk City to Mill Creek is four miles in length with a water grade, Mr. Porter says it will be a very easy road to build. This is important as it gives the people a wagon road to the County Seat. The trestle work connecting the South Beach wagon road with the dock to be built on deep water at the east side of the big sand spit where boats can land is important. This distance is a little less than liaif a mile long. A force of men are now work lng on the road that cuts out Pioneer Mountain. This road leaves the Corvallis road at the mouth of Simpson Creek three miles west of Chltwood ; and f ol lows up the creeK over a low pass to Olalla Creek and down that creek to its intersection ith the Newport road near the Jay Dunn place, lhe worn on . Bald Mountain Road is pro gressing right along although it is a heavy piece of work. This road will be 9000 feet long with 1300 feet of solid rock. In the South part of the county im portant road work is going on, This the public high way from distance will be four miles with a four per cent grade. SileLs has already done a large amount of road work and will do more. POOLE SLOUCH Rain, rain go away, Come the shermer home, 1 M,8ge8 Jua Brown and JIe8. 'tM. Peterson canie over to Sun. . .

Weber for volunteer work to complete the first mile of road on the new Beaver Creek road leading to the beach. The weather was very un pleasant and showery all day but that did not have a depress ing effect on the boys who came out to push the work. They all worked with a royal good will as men do when they have a purpose to accomplish. Tuesday morning the weather ented the crowd getting to gether until almost eleven when four of the "braves" went out and blasted stumps until noon, after lunch they were joined by five more men and together they put in some good work. Wednesday gave promise of nice weather and the men came out in force. R. W. Ohmart has been In charge of the crow which has been slashing out the entire right-of-way to the beach. One more dny will finish this part oZ the work. This crew is on the Job with the volunteer worker this week and are working Just as hard with their donation work as if they were being paid for their labors. When you find men who go to and from their work whistling, who "npur up": their teams to hurry to the next piece of work that must be done, you will know just the kind of men we have In Ona who are contributing their time when they are very busy on their ranches. We do not want to "toot our own horn" but wc want everyone to know how we ' "dig in" to "make good" when wo are given any encourage ment. We know the County hat, many miles of road to keep up and while the County Court has boon very generous with us, they ' cannot afford to give us all the money we need 011 roads In this community bo wc are doing our share. If all communities in the County would ornnlo and help ' themselves Just a llttlo the road work would not bo the "mill stone" It. la, on the neck of our County Court, who are, wo wc fully convinced, honest and fair minded men, and ve want them to know we appreciate the help (Cont. on Page 3)
