(From Tuosday'i DnUy)
A clash of opinion as to tho route

through Deschutes county along a
north and south lino, resulted In the
formation ot two distinct tactions at
tho road meeting hold at Hodmond
last night. Whether or not tho road
should pass through Deschutes or
Tumalo was tho chief Issue, and a
compromise was finally ctfcctcd to
allow for both towns being toucboJ
by tho highway.
At tho preliminary meeting Perrv
Ileedy, of Hodmond, was temporary
chairman, his place bolng taken br
I). A. Kendall, also of Hodmond, ns

business of tho session was trans
acted aftor supper.
With the meeting only a short
time under way, I; becamo apparent
that tho question ot whether to on
dorso Tumalo or Deschutes would lie
tho chief Issuo to be decided, and
after much discussion ot tho relatlvo
advisability of the two points, a com
mittee composed or Roscoe Howard,
of Deschutes, nnd Fred N. Wallace
and J. M. Griffin, of Tumalo, waa
named, and Immediately held an
emorgency session at which tho com
promise was mado.
The recommendation ot tho com
mlttco as adopted by tho delegates
at the mooting, provides for a re
quest to tho county court for tho con
struction of a bridge over tho Dos
chutes river near tho Marsh .Aubrey
place, to 'servo tho residents of tho
lower end of the Tumalo irrigation
project.
Tho route as determined, from
Terrebonno to Hodmond, through
Tumalo and Deschutes, to Dcnd, will
bo referred to tho communities rep
resented by tho delegates, for ap
proval. Tho Dcnd delegation stood
pat during tho altercation preceding
tho compromise, refusing to take
sides.

TWO WEEKS OF

After suffering from amnesia, or
lapse ot memory, covering a. period
ot approximately two weeks, thought

this, howovor, ho had travelled to
Spokane and back. It has boen ajjeor
talucd. Froia Umatilla, he wont tq Arling

an utter loss to account for his

his wny back to Bend. as. far as Sher
man, whoro he was wet by Mr. Fish.
Ho waa somewhat 111 ou arriving iu

Tho amnesia from which Mr. Ba
