As it is peo ple of Clark county, Wash., must go by way of Vancouver to reach Portland. The maintenance of a transfer at Fairview would be a great convenience to all the people of eastern Clark and Multnomah counties. The road way has been donated and its control awaits the pleasure of our County Court. We suggest a delegation of citizens wait on the court.

There is some talk of enlarging the paper. Call at the Herald office and get a copy of the new premium list. It is fine and shows a lot of improvements over last year’s book.
