It la expected that a delegation from

' to ask for a reconsiders Hon of tin
action of the commieaion In chooslna
'.',-tha Ball ton route. It s aleo probable
that a deleratlon from Ballaton will
be there to maintain the desirability
of the route chosen.
rrotertaate' Tiews Gives.
The aentlment of the McMlnnvllle
and Amltr Protectant la that the
" road leading direct fro.n McMlnnvllle
:to Amity and thence on to MrCoy and
Rlckreall and Dallas la the natural
.". route for a main hlchway, being- more
-directly In lln with the courae of the

Expressing- the Ideaa of those who
- Oppose the Ballaton route State sen
ator Vinton of McMlnnvllle says:
"Any one v lio la familiar with the
lay of the country and the people

and Interest would at once favor the
Amity route. The route through Am

What rramera Meant
- "It appeara to me that It waa the
plain Intention of the framers of the

ahould pas on south from McMlno
vllle through Amity to Polk county
. over the road which every one travels
going- south from Portland to Eugene
on the west side. If the bill contem
. plated turning the Paclflo highway
weal at McMlnnvllle why did It alau
' provide for the Sheridan -Tillamook
. road leading- from the Pacific highway
near or at McMlnnvllle T
"The designation of tha Ballston
-- r route by a majority ot the atate hlgh
' way commission la contrary to every
pledge and promise that the county
" good roada association made the peo
-J pie of thla county during- the recent
- campaign for the road bonds. Every
" voter of Yamhill county understood
j- whoa he voted for tha bill that tha
highway should g-o through Amity.
Uaf airaesa Za AXUre4 .
"By designating the Ballaton route
. . the populous part of Yamhill county
, east to the Willamette river la to be
deprived of Ita Just dues and a leaa
. populous district with a more circuit
ous route la civ en the road.
. I want to see Dallas have tha road

Do you find this hot weather entirely to your liking? Can
you face with cool complacency the hottest darts of Old Sol ?
There are two principal ways to conquer the heat: By wear
ing undergarments that are cool and comfortable and let the
body breathe, and by donning a'bathing suit when possible,
and taking a plunge into cooling water. We can help you
materially to attain both of these objects and we wUI make
it well worth your while to do so besides.
