Some Road* Not “ Political Road*“ An editorial in the Daily Journal one day thia week upholds Governor Olcott in hia official action in vetoirg the road bills enacted by the special legislative aession, characterizing them as “ political roads’’ but quali fying this by saying that the road through Sherman county and the road through Malheur county had merit and would some day be bui.t by the state highway commission when that merit could no longer be denied. Thia is a public vindication, from a recognized road authority and from outside of Sherman county, that the course adopted by Representative A. M. Wright in this proposed post road measure, was “ righ t.” All the time Mr. Wright was work ing for recognition of this measure creating through Sherman county a post road with terminals to be decid ed by the state highway commission, but beginning at the Columbia high way and extending to a jueture with the Dalles-California highway atfor near Shaniko, he contended that sole ly on its merit must this road be con sidered and to this the Governor, and others agreed. Yet, people of Sherman county are of the opinion that because of the numerous other road legislation pro posed, putting purely local thorofares on the state road map, the economic construction features and the geo graphic standpoint of a through road through Sherman county has been loet sight of. * . The Journal states that this road through Sherman county is “ more than a county road” and to this all agree who have in any measure con sidered this question solely on the ground of the best interests V>f the state at large. We believe if Governor Olcott had made a sharp distinction between roads of merit as against purely local roads and between the same class of roads and through roads offering alter nate routes and had then considered these roads strictly on „ their merits and made this basis a test of fitness to survive the official axe, the ques tion of overloading the state road map with purely local roads would now be definitely settled in place of bringing the whole question up for settlement at the next session of the legislature through the medium of consideration of vetoed oil Is. Farmers of the Harmony commun ity "met Tuesday afternoon of this week to organize their Farm Bureau and plan their work for the coming year. Officer» elected were P. C. Axtell, president; Homer Belshee, vice president; and J. O. E lliott, secretary.

The Farm Bureau feels that there are a few things that can be accomplished by cooperative effort and outlined what they expected to do during the year. All were interested in improving the class of livestock of the community. Howard Belshee and Mr. Hinshaw both stated that heavy draft horses were going to bring good prices in the very near future. The livestock committeeman, Howard. B el- shee, w ill investigate the prices of pure bred draft mares and it may be possible to use a car load in thia com munity.
