' . . tsf N I ; v' ' m l J I ?AJSTIUJS J Says Umatilla County Is In Good Position to Bond for Gbod Roads Railroads Will Pay Large Part By C. C. Chapman in The Oregon Voter. Umatilla County is in the throes of a road-bond cam paign. If there is any county in Oregon which can afford to issue road bonds it is Umatilla. Its farmers are weal thy, and its tax rate is one of the lowest in Oregon. One bond issue probably will be a necessity, on account of the clamor for hard-surfaced roads from so many parts of the county. Only by a bond issue could enough mile age be constructed to satisfy the different sections. After the first bond issue, if it carries, the county probably will settle down to a regular policy of hard-surfacing from the current tax levy of each year. This will build more mile age for the same money in the long run, and Umatilla can stand quite a heavy increase in taxes as compared with moht other Oregon counties. Incidentally, the O.-W. R. & N. Company pays about one-fourth the taxes paid into the Umatilla county treas ury. Part of the proceeds of the bond issue wiil be to build hard-surface roads to the river so wheat can be ship ped by boat in competition with the railroad. The rail road company pays one-fourth the cost of building road to help carry freight by water. WAR BULLETINS Norwegian Strainer Sunk. LONDON, June 26.
