U. P.) If one of the interested parties doesn't know, how is a .mere judge to decide whether a man actually loved a woman, or was only pretending? - That is the question asked by Judge . Sylvester McAtee, who recently had the question put up W him for decision in a court case. '- He was asked to decide whether William Laub really loved Beatrice Guber, or wheth- er he only made false pretenses to her, thus obtaining $1100. . How can court -determine whether or not he loved her?" asked the court, .first of himself and then of anyone In the room that might be able to tell him. . "Love Is a most puzzling thing. It Is an intangible some- thing here, then there, . and then gone. To be su.e, some persons pre- tend they are in love when they are not, and maybe It was so tvlth Laub. But how can the court Judge? In the next place, what Is love? Oh, well, the cose Is dismissed." . h Price Pleases Court Becaustff f v LOWIieSS; Cabbage HlU Koad ( Contract1 is ; Postponed. ; The best prices on contracts for rocking roads made by Umatilla coun ty for several years were secured at Portland inst.weou wnen me Biaie highway commission let contracts for several pieces of work, according to Judge I. M. Schannep who with Com mlssioners G. L. Dunning, and R. 12. Bean returned,yesterday after attend ing the meeting of the commission.' . The contract for the Oregon-Washington, highway from Pilot Rock on to Vinson calls for the price of $1.85 the cubic yard for rocking the road. The grading has already been done, and with the spreading of the. rock, the hlghwny will bo completed on to Vinson. "This is a very fine pricce, we think," Judge Schannep Baid this morning. "Two years ago contracts In , this county were let for the aame kind of work at a price of three dollars a cubic yard. The figure secured for the Pilot Rock -Vinson stretch of high way indicates that the money we spend is going to do more for Us than In the days of high prices." The contract was awarded to the -General Contract Oo. of Spokane. The same company will also do the ;rock work on the stretch of market road up Birch creek from Pilot Rock. The bridge work on the highway, was awarded to Tobln and Pierce. The contract for the Old Oregon Trail work of 15 miles In length be yand Dead Man's Pass to the Union county line, tvas not let. The., com- mission held that the bids were all too high. The road Is still covered with snow, and for this reason, the com mission was not satisfied to let the contract, Judge Schannep said. It Is thought the contract xan -bo let not . " later than at the May meeting. The state highway commissioners will be In Pendleton some time during this week "to talk over general road conditions In Umatilla county. Work on the Oregon-Washington highway, will be started soon. Quite a lot of road work is already under ! way. The Butter 'creek road Is under' construction as well as the Cold Springs road. Tho Echo road contract will be let by th county court April 27.
