Teon, commissioner .express headlights of an approaching car ed himself as believing that the cut-off blinded him, he got too far off the pavement and the car plunged off the I funds have been furnished. The Wal lula cut-off has been before the com- ! mission two or three times. It is ar dently opposed by the people of Pendleton." The chief objection mado to the ! ITmattlla-Wallula highway is that it I , can be of no service to Eastern Ore gon and would require hundreds of thousands rf dollars that could more appropr'.r "! he used on highway work of u.terest to this region, It was pointed out by the Pendleton Com mercial Association and other organ izations that the Oregon trial has nut yet been completed through the Blue mountains, that the highway from The Dalles to Cabbage hill is as yet unpaved and that in sections where the travel Is heavy, as between Kcho and Pendleton, the road will soon go to pieces unless hard surfaced.
