" highway commission restraining it j from constructing the west side Pa cific highway by way of Holmes gap and Rickreall in Polk county, came up for hearing. Monday before Circuit Judge McCourt, who granted the temporary injunction. A new feature in the case was the Intervention of the Yamhill county court which joined with the state high way commission in the petition for the dissolution of the injunction.' - On the part of Yamhill county it is alleged that it has made its plans based "on the Holmes gap location. If a new route is chosen it would involve the financing of another grade, which the county is not in a position to do. Among the witnesses put on the stand by the highway commission were Former Senator- Hawley of Polk county and Senator Vinton of Yamhill county. They testified to some of tbe circumstances surrounding the passage of the J6.000. 000 bonding act and the' 'lesig nation of the state highways by the legislature of 1917. It was their under standing, they said, that the location of the. Pacific highway should be through Amity and Holmes Gap to Rickreall. Senator Vinton said that during the cam paign for the bond bill he assured the people of Yamhill county that the high way would go this way. He Had never -dreamed of ( the Ballston or Perrydale routes. " When he got over Into Polk county, though, he added, he was care ful not to say where." the road would go, being cautioned by some of his Polk county associates on the stump. It was bfought out that the original bond bill read "by way of Dallas." At the suggestion of Hawley it was changed to read "to -Dallas." Another witness was K. C. -Apperson of McMlnnville, who testified to the advantages of the Holmes Gap route. " " Wm. A.

' DEER PLENTIFUL, SAYS INSPECTOR With the opening of the deer sea son only a j day away, Elmer Wil liams, assistant predatory animal in spector for the 17. S. biological sur vey, brings in the message that deer are more plentiful In the mountains than he has ever seen them before Wiyiams has traveled throughout state during the spring and summer and everywhere he went, from Southern Oregon to the Blue moun tain country, he noted the increased numbers. ; . ' Williams ' attributes .the increase to be due in a large part to the work of his department in killing off the . cougars and coyotes. ; A cougar, says Williams, averages one deer a week the year around, while two or three coyotes will pull down five or six deer a week in the winter months when the deer drop through the snow which the coyotes are able to cross on the crust. In ad ditlon to the deer, these animals kill a large number of fawns annually. . The survey has succeeded fh com pletely ridding some portions , of the country of both cougars , and coyotes, and ' have thinned them out in other portions. While the inspectors do not expect ever to be able to exterminate them, they hope to hold them so in check that the losses of stock and game ani mals win be reduced to a minimum. The deer season opens Wednesday.
