Mr: D; E. Baxter, Sec'y

Dear sir:
In reply to yonr letter re
questing information as to
an estimate of the cost of a
preliminary survey through
Wheeler County, permit me
to say that Grant County has
et aside f 3,000 to be used by
this office in locating a line
through Grant Co. This will
not be sufficient for $ definite
purvey annousni it can De
used to advantage and l am
in hopes that we can secure
cooperation from the U. S.
Forest Service. As the road
between X5rant and Baker
Counties will pass thru the
.National lorest, it is quite
probable that the Govern
ment can relieve us of this
section. In such case, we
can probably get a pretty
fair preliminary survey thru
Grant Co. for the money a -vailable.
It would be well if
Wheeler Co. could sel aside a
like amount. Hqwever, it is
quite probable that we could
fnake , an equally good loca
tion' thrq. Wheefer Co. for a
Jittlc les. have a very com
petent man whom I could
flssign to. this work, and I
(im 'sure that any amount
which; jour county court feels
that ; it coqld ' allpt to this
work can be expended to ad
vantage in Wheeler County.
I will personally follow the
work ' very closely and - see
that no funds are wasted and
any surplus returned to the
county treasury,
I do; not plan to begin
wprk iii Grant Co. until we
get some definite word from
the adjoining counties, as it
would . be . useless to spend
these' county funds unless
there:, is some assurance that
this ; isolated section' could
be connected up thru the ad
joining counties to the out
side world, The inclosed
map will indicate some, of
the outlets and connections.
Wheeler. Co., .you will note,
.would derive very great ben
efit. 1 am not sufficiently
."well informed to say whe
ther, the connection w ith the
Polumbia ..River Highway
estimates bv local engineers
in different counties?
Yesterdav, I wrote the
i -
County Court of Baker
County endeavoring to point
out the advantage to Baker
county of a collection, thru
to Ontario with a branch lino to
Baker thru Unity. This whole
matter rests practically withi
Gant and Wheeler Counties as
they are by far the most inter
ested, and you can count on us to
do any thing within our power
to assist in any plan which you
care to back. I am also inclos
ing a large scale map which was
transmitted to the County Court
of Baker County to illustrate
their interest in this thru trans
contiuental lint,'
Very respectfully,
John H. Lewis.
State Engineer.
To the voters pf Wheeler Coun
ty; I herein announce myself as
a Repulican candidate for the of?
fice of County ScoqoI Superinten
dent. In coming before the people of
Wheeler County, I feel that 1 rep
resent thogreatest problem and
asset of ihe age - the education
and traning of the youth of our
land
If elected, I shall certainly do
everything within my. province
to further the educational inter
ests of every boy and irirl in
Wheeler County.
If you see your way clear to
give me an opportunity to work
with you in their behalf, give nie
your support in the Primary Elec
tion May 19. 191G.
