Toe Board at its meeting Wed BUSINESS IS ON ' THE MOVE nesday evening took up the mat ter of the new county road which i- being opened between Forest’s place on Crooki d river and Des chutes. Facts were produced to show that an unusual amount of tra\a 1 and freight ng would he car ried on over the road this year it it were linished. At present work at this en 1 of tin* road hits slopped and the Board will endeavor to find out why and then if no plaus ible i xettse for th * delay is forth- com:i g see to it that the work is brotigl t to an early completion. Att ‘lition was also called to the fact that a petition for a bridge across Cro iked river at the Forest place was circulated nearly a year ago. There i- eviden *e in support of the assertion that the petition was pigeon-holed during Judge Wills administration and light is desired on tin subject. The Board realizes that a crossing at this point on the river would be of advantage to freighters coming to Deschutes and will use its Inst eff orts to have const ruction com menced provided tin* matter is in the right shape. Secretary Keed produced sever al lctUrs from parties jn Portland, who are in ’ lie milling business, expressing themselves as being in readim s> to establish a tioiir-niili if suitable arrangements could la* made. The firms have had all the points Waring on tin* subject out lined to them in detail, including an exhaustive report on the present supple of wheat and the demand for Hour, and it, is expected that a favorable n ply will In* received in a few days if the business men in- terested do not decide to eotne themselves and personally inspect the field which is open. When tin* matter of a telephone line bet ween Deschutes and Prine- ville was fir-t broached it was laid aside for the tin** being principally owing to the fact that the under taking required a trifie more cash than could lx* mustered.
