A meeting of those interested

It is expected to make the day

honor and glory rather than for
monetary reward.
WORK OK GARRUGUS i
BUILDING UNDER WAY
Farmers not residing on any
of the roads to be improved
under the road bond bill should
not foiv that reason oppose the
bond measure. With the ap
proval by the voters of the bond
issue, every such farmer will
derive a two-fold benefit. In
the first place, lie will bo brought
that much closer to a hard-sur
faced road. Secondly, the
money now expended on the
main roads will be available for
the improvement of the connect
ing roads. Surely, tile farmer,
regardless of his residence with
respect to tho main trunk roads,
cannot holp but recognize that
he will be benotited by the ex
penditure of funds raised by the
proposed bond issue.
Owners of automobiles will be
required to pay tho iucreased
license fee whether tho road
bond bill passes or not. On the
other hand, if the road bouds
are voted at the Juno election, a
real start will be assured in giv
ing to tho state a system of
permanent highways construe
ed from automobile liconso fees
aud without increasing the gen
eral tax.
No property owner should
coniplaiu about the road bond
measure. It is simply a propo
sition by which the state pro
poses to build u system of per
maneut highways from revenue
already provided and without
any increase in the direct tax
levy,
The construction of hard-sur
faced roads that will euablo the
farmer to reach tho Columbia
river with his graiu and other
products will give the producers
of Eastern Oregon the full bene
lit of water competition in
marketing their products anil
will ultimately bring about u
reduction of excessive freight
rates that arc now iu effect over
the various branch railroad lines
on which the farmer is now de
pendent for transportation.
Work of removing the old
wooden building and preparing
for the erection of a handsome
new structure on the Garrigus
property on Main street, adjoiri
ing the Vaughn hardware store,
is under way and it is understood
the work will be rushed to coni
pletion. I
The new building will be 50 x
100 in size and will be of brick
tile construction and modern in
its appointments. It will be di
vided into two rooms, the one
adjoining the Vaughn store to be
occupied by that firm for offices
and automobile sales rooms. The
other side will be occupied by
Gurdane & Son with their pas
time business. '

George Perry, who came in
from his Rock creek home yester
day, reports the road in both the
Buttermilk and Rood canyons as
being in bad condition absolute
ly impassable for loaded teams,
Mr. Perry says he upset liis wag
on in a washout in Buttermilk a
few days ago and yesterday had
considerable difficulty gettinp
through Rood canyon with u
light buggy.
In view of the fact that the
Rock creek district will product
around 100,000 pounds of wool
this season which logically should
come to the Heppner market this
condition should be immediately
improved. At present prospect
ive prices for wool the placing ol
these roads in condition to accom
modate neavy learning will mean
the addition of $",0,0"0 or$(0,M)(,
to lloppner's volume of business-

worthy of the consideration ol
every business man and resident
ot iienpner. i lie hock creel
district is tributary to Heppnei
and the people of that district
will haul their freight and d
their trading here if they havt
passable roads to travel over com

will Haul llieir wool to Condon
and buy their goods there tnucl
to the delight and profit of llu
bankers and merchants of that
bustling village. Heppner poo

should investigate this mattei
