MEED OF GRANT .COUNTY EXPLAINED TO MEMBERS Main Hope for Funds Rests Forestry Fund; Commission Sees Bad Grade Today. The forest service in really anxious to have the north and south road to Grant county constructed but the state highway commission as now constitut ed Is not sold on the value of such economic roads and believes that all available money should be used for completing and maintaining the tiur ist road system of the Btate. Tills seems a fair analysis of the situation , disclosed hero last evening when the question of the Grant county road was threshed out before the highway 'commission.' However there are some bright spots in the situation and one of them is that the commission today made the long con templated trip over the road. It is the first ttnio tho .coiumiasion., has . ever been over the' John-Day grade and perhaps when they" have "seen what it is like they will have more sym pathy for the folk iu southern Uma tilla and northern Grant who have tu use that road. Another bright spot consists iu the statement by District Forester Cenii, made last evening, that the forest ser vice will probably have $50,000 for the road this year. Chairman Booth had referred to this money as being avail able next year and had said the forest survey would be made this year. How ever there is a chance that if the $50, 000 can be had this year another sim ilar amount might bo procured next year. To do this however the en dorsement of the state highway com mission must be secured wherefore the value of the trip south today. L i At a meeting in the Commercial as- aociation rooms last evening strong arguments In favor of state help on the road south were made. Senator Roy W. Ritner presided and presented figures!- showing that Umatilla coun ty has devoted practically a million dollars to cooperation on state high ways thus far. Fred Steiwer explain ed in detail the necessity for the Grant county road, how many stock men in that county bank here and de sire a road whereby they may come north. Mr. Steiwer gave facts show ing that the John Day highway does not solve the road problem for Grant county people and that they want roads leading to large nearby towns, uch as Pendleton. In support of his contention Mr. Steiwer gave much data. Cold Shoulder Shown W. S. Caverhlll. county commis sioner from Northern Grant, ably seconded the appeal for the road. Chairman Booth was the first of the commissioners to respond. He indi cated a "cold shoulder" attitude to ward the proposition under discussion and explained the value of the tourists roads being cvonstructed. Messere Ycon and Barratt alto spoke but they offered no hope of otate aid on the Grant county road though Mr. Bar- ratt pointed out the importance of the highway to the country as a whole. o-frnor Olcott. who arrived with (Continued on pace 5.) r Th I 1 THE WEATHER " i ,. : ..

A school for delinquent parents is suggested by Mrs. Baldwin, who has made a study of the dance hall situa tion along with several other police women in this city.

The doors to peace seem closed, with but a little r;iy of light from the an nouncement ' the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was willing "to confer with its men" in an effort to reach an agreement.

Not Buying Club Wheat; Very Little Brought to Stations by Farmers Yet. There Is practically no market for iub wheat In Pendleton, according to local dealers, and selling is at a stand tlll. The demoralization of the mar ket is largely due to the uncertainties uf the transportation facilities, local buyers say. "Kxporters won t buy until thev ; have a vessel chartered," one of the) SlONTUOMEUT, Ala., July ri. A dealers stated todny. "If they have aj formal charge of murder was placet' vi-sm-1 chartered, they want to be cer- j today against Miss Mildred Brewer tain that the railroads can make their 1 15, grand daughter of William Brew shipments promptly.
