One of the firat tep necessary ia connection with a road to Cold Spring is to ascertain if suitable ground for dock purpose can be had. A good dock under public ownership is regarded a essential In the scheme and If such accommodation cannot be had at Cold Springs the road could be extended to Umatilla via the reservoir, say R. O. Earnhart. "What we desire," ay Mr. Earn hart, "l to get the full benefit from the opening of the river. W are not wedded to any set plan but we must have a road that will get the wheat to the river. Otherwise the chief economic advantage1 of the roud would be lost" New reached here th! morning oi a road meeting to be held at Stan field Tuesday evening to boost, for a highway from.
