HIGHWAY 97 In writing of the new Status road the automobile editor of the Oregonian makes note of the very apparent fact that this connect ing link completes the fastest road between California pointe and Washington. From the Yakima valley, over the mountain to Gold- endale, across the river on the Maryhill-Biggs ferry and over the wheat covered hills of Sherman county on through Highway 97 is not only the fastest but the shortest and smoothest road.- The virtues of this road are readily noted by everyone who has occasion to travel across the state of Oregon.

Twenty-four of his followers were his fellow defendants. The plot was be trayed to the authorities by several of Waldemaras’ adherents, all members of the Iron Wolf organisation, and it was expected their testimony would result In severe sentences for those accused. Professor Waldemaras, who returned to Kaunas from his place of exile near Memel to attend the trial, said the charges were exaggerated, which sounds like a weak defense.
