The court advised the committee
that It is not in accordance with the
present procedure of the state high
way commission to order a survey of
any road until money is available to
at least start construction and for
this reason a complete survey is hard
ly advisable at this time. However
It Is "nderstood that the commission
will be asked to make a general loca
tlon of the route to be followed by
the road leaving the actual locat'on
until such time as some funds are
available for construction.
The request of the committee for
the county court to set aside the
market rond money next year with
which to start construction on the
road was favorably considered.
It Is to be hoped thut the way will
open for the early completion of this
road as It Is a much needed factor
for the proper development ofnorth
orn Morrow county as well as for the
business and commercial welfare of
Heppner, the county seat.
Ex-service men of Heppner and
vicinity are expecting the charter for

Much interest is being shown In
the proposed organization by the ex
service men, realizing as they do that
the Legion will prove of inestimable
advantage to them In the years to
come.

evening the roads were In such con
dition as would make travel by auto
to the Egg City one continual round
of grief.
It was then that Vee Gentry and
Hen Cohn, two as live wires as ever
wore an Elks' emblem, jumped into
the bleach and chartered a special
train to carry the Heppner crowd to
lone. The boys' were required to
guarantee the payment of $216 for
the special but they weregame and
the train was ordered pronto. Tick

and they went like hot cakes, enough
being sold to load the special to the
guards and make the venture a finan

The dance was one of the best ever
given In Morrow county, everybody
present having the time of their lives.
Financially the affair was also a
howling success, netting the manage

In order to comply with the re
quirements of the federal statute gov

the special could not leave on the re
