That It would be a blunder to form a port district and to bond the same to build the proposed Pitman road way to Umatilla is the declaration of Mr. C. J. Smith who Is here today Don) Portland. The doctor's Helix ranch of 16uu acres is included in the bouadarl of the district. Even if the roadway Is practicable (of which there is doubt) It would Btill be a bad thing from my stand point. At present my wheat can ba hauled to Helix for two and a half cents a bushel, while the rate from Helix to Portland Is 1-4 cents thus making a total rate of 10 3-4 cents. "Now the boat rate at present from I matilla to Portland Is 7 1-2 cents To reach the Pitman road from my place would cost four cents per bush el and the rate on the roadway to UmatlDa could not be less than two ci nts per bushel. If two cents my combined rate via I'matllla to Port land would be 13 cents or two and a fourth cents more than I am paying now. "I am in favor of road building and improvements in general but we should be sure of our ground before going ahead with anv large expendi ture.''
