Roumania is al war with Germany and Austria Roumania dedan-d war « hi Austria last night. Ixi« than twelve hours later Berlin declared wnr on Rou mania. Turkey and Bulgaria are ex|a*«*ted to follow Germany without delay. A Roumanian army has cro»Md These petitions ask the county court to adopt this plan of improve ment, which it will require several year» to accomplish, and in order to provide for an increased tax levy, which is necvwiary. to submit to the voters at the next general election, under the terms of the Bingham tax limitation law. a prop«»al to increase the levy for this purpose. Though voting directly on the increaaed tax the people of the county will be voting, directly, as to whether or not they favor the plan propose«!. No bonding is contemplated in this project but the plan is to devel op the system of paved roads gradu ally by constructing a portion each year, building only such an amount each year as the county can pay for from its current levy. The committee has suggested that the present levies for r»ad an«i bridge improvement be reduced un til there is just enough for necessary repairs. It has estimated that 24 mills could be taken from the prew ent levies and with an additional two mills levied, the money realised from a 44 mill levy would lie suffi cient each year to develop a system of (Hived roads. For the first lime in many months the ScH« Milling Co. is shipping flour. A car was loaded for San Franciia-o the first of the weak. Manager l>. C. Thoms went to Port land Tuewlay to look after the mill's interests.
