AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.
T.:e Dalles Comrotnlal Club Consider
the Fossil Road Proportion.
Tbo southern portion of Gilliam
county is standing with outstretched
arms wailing for an opportunity to
avail itself of the benefits of the low
freight tariffs to be had at The Dalles,
All that is needed to put that section
in a position to avail Itself of this priv
lege is a good wagon road leadiny
from The Dalles to Fossil. This fact
is realized by the citizens of this city,
and The DallesCominereial Club has
taken the initiative iu the matter.
Friday night the club had the matter
under consideration, and a number of
business meu of the city were present,
and the sentiment wasunauimous that
steps should be taken at ouce lookin
to the ooeninif of a road between the
two points. Hon. C. M. Cartwrigbt,
of Portland, and Senator Steiver, a
nrnminnnt merchant of Fossil, were
present, and Mr. Steiver presented to
the club a proposition that if The
Dalles would fjen a road to John Day
river and aid in constructing a bridge
at or near the mouth of Thirty-Mile,
the residents of Fossil and vicinity
would construct a road to th river
from the east. The proposition was
fvorabiv received bv the club, and
Messrs. L. E. Crowe, E. O. McCoy, W,
Lord, Fred W. Wilson and Chas. Hil
ton were appointed, a committee to
lake the matter in hand and ascenain
what action would be advisable in the
premises.
This is certainly a matter which The
Dalles should consider seriously. The
trade of Southern Gilliam county is of
considerable magnitude, and can be
be secured to The Dalles if facilities
for reaching thin place can be of
fered. No better investment oan
be made by The Dalles than money
put into roads leading into the interior,
for without tht-ra the trade that
naturally belongs here will go else
where.
the sheriff bad not turned the taxes
into the county treasury as they were
collected. In making the -demand the
board, by an unanimous vote, adopted
this resolution :
"He it resolved, that the szhool e'erk
notify the county judge that school
district .No. 12 will, after prll 1. 1S915,
charge the countv interest on all
money collected under the special 6-
mill levy for this d strict and withheld
from this district af er the date 'fixed
by statute for turning over the same."
A copy of the resolution was served
ou J udge Blakeney today, and the re
sult will probably be that school t'lxes
will be turned over to the differaut
districts that have levied special tuxes
as soon as collected.
CROOK COUNTY REPTBLICANS.

The democrats of the different pro

the purpose of nominating candidates
for delegates to the county convention
to be voted for at the primaries to be
held here today. In East Dalles
aud Bigelow precincts, which are en'
titled to eight and seven delegates re.
soeclively, just the regular number of
delegates were named, as follows:
East Dalles J. M. Filloon. A. Ad.
Keller, J. Benson, 14. E. Williams.
K. H. Webber, A. Bettengin, jr. Frank
Seufert, William Cushing.
Bigelow A. S. MacAllister, Harry
Liebe, Joe Bonn, jr. E. B. Dufur,
S. B. Adams, R. II. Lonsdale, Frank
Egan.
lu West Dalles and Trevitt pre
cincts it- was considered advisable to
name more than the regular number
of delegates so as to give voters an op
portunity to freely exercise their pref
erence, hence twelve names were Davis,

He Downed the Frank-Hann.Bllnto Kins;
la Portland.
The great battle between the oppos
ing factionsin tbe republican party at
Portland has b en fought, and was
won by the Simon crowd. The Simon
orowd secured fc8 delegates while their
opponents captured ' only 35. Tbe
scenes witnessed at the different poll
ing places were disgraceful, and
although no one was killed, - there
were a good many bruised heads and
maimed bodies. The thugs and tin
horn gamblers were out in full force,
and a large per cent of the vote cast
was by the riffraff element, substan
tial oitiaens being crowded away from
the polling places by gamblers, law
breakers, thugs and outlaws.
The accounts of the scramble in the
various wards in the city, as published
in the Oregonian, are enough to dl
gust the average citfgen, and indicate
th4t fraud, such as is known only to
the Portland politician, was practiced
everywhere. The vlotory is of course
a brilliant one for Simon, but, it made
little difference whether he or his op

the fifth row, and the additional star
for Utah is placed in the third row.
By this arrangement the first, third

apd the seeppd, fourth and sixth rows
each seven stars. The arrangement
restores the symmetry of proportion
that has been disturbed from time to
