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. But now
