" - Union county presented a request lor market road surveys, aa did Crook county. Ia addition tha last named county offered fe,(KH for cooperation on tha post road between Prtnevilie and the - Ocboco Wrest, and f M.000 on tha extension of the Crooked river , road to Paulina. It has been decided by the eommlsaton that it will make no recommendations to the coming legislature in the w7 of road legislation. A review of tha work already dona and a-forecast of what is necessary to complete the ays tarn of state roads as now marked out will be niade and submitted to tha members, who will be left to their own initiative. V'; 'X- r Because the lowest bid on the construction of tha bridge across j Toungs bar in Clatsop county was greatly In excess of the estimate, the state highway commisaion-Baturday took under advisement the question of awarding the contract, I The bridge, which is the largest structure yet planned by the commis sion, is of the bascule type with a clear apan of ISO feet. Including approaches. It is to be 1100 feet in length. Bids were received on two types, one in which the approaches are altogether timber and the other in which they j are a combination of timber and con crete. ! The lowest bid was submitted by the Otlnln Construction company of Astoria. which en the cheaper, construction' bid 111 1,283. The engineer's estimate was 1211,420. On the heavier eonatruction the bid was SI7S.283. compared with S30t,633, the estimate of the engineer. The bridge is to be built by the county, state and federal government In co operation, the county paying one-third and the remaining two-thirds to be shared by the state and federal gov ernment. In Tlew of the county participation. Commissioner Booth, who was presiding In the absence of Chairman Benson, asked for an expression of the views of the county relative to letting the contract. O. C. Fulton advised' that the con tract be awarded on the bid submitted, on the ground that the structure was badly needed and because he waa satis fled as favorable bid coutd not be ob tained later. Labor and material oosta are increasing, he said, and he saw no prospect for better bids. With the statement from Commis sioner Booth that the commission would like to get the opinion of Chairman Benson and C. H. Puree!, district en gineer of the bureau of public roads, before deciding, the matter went over until December 29, when the commission will hold a special meeting at Salem. An issue of state 4V4 per. cent road bonds was sold to a syndicate composed of the First National bank of New York. Keene ft Taylor and the Anglo-Paris bank of San Francisco on a bid of S9SS.170. This was $10,000 In excess of the next highest bid and 120,000 above the lowest bid. The price obtained was slightly lower than, the amount received In November for a similar issue, which was $988,230. An unusual development was the offer -from Union county to lend the com mission $110,000 with which- to- match the federal government for grading of the La Orande-Mlnam road. The offer waa made rn view of the fact that it waa the understanding that the state commission did not have the funds avail able and' that the county wanted to put on a paved surface, provision for which had been made in the county bond issue. The offer waa taken under ad visement ." Umatilla county asked for a survey of the road from Nye to the Grant county, line outside the national forest. The commission agreed with a Joint delegation from Washington and Yam hill counties to defer action on the contract for graveling the road between Forest Grove and Gaston until next summer, when it Is to be paved, ; All bids for graveling the Canyon section of the Baker-CornucoDla road In Baker county were rejected, and tha project ordered readverUsed. The bids were considered eo high. - - Bids were opened for two bridges in Yamhill county and referred" to the county court and state highway en gineer. On tha bridge across the Yamhill river between Newberg and McMinnvil the Good Health Skin Deep To Look Well and Be 'Attrac tive, Men and Women Must Really Be Well and Feel Well Good Health Is Happiness Poor Health Often Traced to Thin, Watery Blood Pepto Mangan Enriches the Blood Good blood is the source of good health.
