EXGIXEER POINTS OUT.
To innpect tho new proposed route
for The Dnllen-Callfornla highway,
the survey on which was started this
week, H. F. Wlckncr, construction
engineer for Oskar Hubcr who holds
tho contract for tho construction of
tho highway from the north county
lino to Bend, arrived in Dend Thurs
day morning, and spent the day go
ing over tho proposed new route.
"I hope thnt the county will not
havo to make, tho change," he said
after making tho Inspection, "for $5,
000 worth of work has been already
completed which would bo abandon
ed it tho new .routo is determined
on, and this of course would be. an
absolute waste. If the property
owners along tho original highway
mako such oxhorbltant demands for
damages as to mako the change
necessary, the county will doubtless
bo better off financially than If the
present routo Is adhered to, but I
cannot help feeling that those who
make auch an action necessary arc
pursuing a very short sighted pol
icy." Moro than 18 protests, asking ad
ditional damages, but not specifying
tho amounts, wero before tho county
court yesterday afternoon, but tho
matter was continued to next Wed
nesday. Ilofore a decision can be
reached on tho new survey. It must
first bo approved by the State High

Presentation of subjects of vital
Interest to the farming population
of Deschutes county featured tho
weekly meeting of the Dend Com
mercial club, held Monday at lfee
Pilot Dutte Inn, for Jn addition 'to
tho scheduled address given by E.
L. Wentorer, O. A. C. expert, on
silos, their uses and the benefits
they offer to the stock raiser and
dairyman, tho question of the loca
tion of a Deschutes county fair was
brought up, and thoroughly dis
cussed. Practically all speakers on.
the subject agreed that the wishes
of tho fanners of the county should
be considered as being tho deciding
factor in selecting ether Dead or
Redmond as the fair location. Pre
vious to the club meeting It was
stated by members of the commit
tee soliciting pledges here for stock
In tho proposed fair association that
upwards of $17,000 bad been sub
scribed. Declaring that agricultural and
stock Interests demand a fair, Fred
N. Wallace, president of the County
Farm Bureau, spoke for the execu
tivo board ttf tho bureau when bo
advised that Bend and Redmond
submit their respective arguments
to the farmers' organizations, and
that a vote be taken among the
agricultural population of the
county,1 the' resulting expression ot
: preference to be a deciding Influ
ence In tho appointment ot the
county fair board which will pick
the city which i to havo the fair.

M. G. Coo asserted that Redmond
can no longer boast ot auy great
agricultural supremacy, and la' the
matter ot potato raising, he stated
that tho country tributary to Bend
has already shipped 20 carloads
this year, with a probable home
consumption In this city alone ot
24 cars more. Production In the
Bond district, ho said, would be
doublo that In the country cen
tering about Redmond. "I believe
that Bend can stage a fair ot more
benefit to tho entire county than,
can Redmond," he said.
J. A.' Molvlg told ot tho possibili
ties fdV featuring livestock, and. de
clared for Bend, whllo Johnlifarsb,
