Sheriff Failed to Get Join <
Sheriff Ellingsen returned from
Seattle early this week without the
alleged crooked dealer, D. W. John,
fer whom he had requisition papers.
When they learned that all John was
exportad to do when he returned to
Oregon was to put up some money to
ths parties who were prosecuting him
as a criminal, the Washington au
thorities refused to honor the requi
sition.
The committee figured that several
thousand dollars would be required
to meet these demands.
But, of
course, no action .will ha taken until
the Highway Commission comas
flown hero some time this month and
indicates where they win locate the
•highway.
Nearing the Bad
Work haa boon rushed by the Beaa-
dia company on the highway this
week during the fine weather. Wed
needay morning, when a Sentinel re
presents tlve mas out there, toe con
crete was being poured on the other
side of the brow of the MU and wall
through the cut beyond P. C. Me-
Nelly’s barn. On that stretch they
were laying about 200 feet a day, the
concreto there being eight inches
thick, although the day before, with
six inch concrete, they laid 250 feet.
A crew of about SO men ia on the
Job.
—
Although the cut where they were
working Wedneeday is the worst part
of the half mile they had left to fin
ish this spring and with tha weather
good the laying on the Cunningham
fill will proceed faster. It was ex
perts^ to get beyond the Cunningham
bridge by Saturday night and to con
nect up some time next week, which
means that with three week’s wait
for the concrete to thoroughly set,
the road will not be open much before
May 1.
