Sonic very substantial road build ing has been done in Morrow county this season. It started with the street improvement in Heppner, and we bclitve that the people are now thoroughly convinced that the work that has been done will last. The construction company are now conv pleting present contracts with the county and will soon be taking their plant away for work in other parts of the state. This will happen unless our county officials see fit to extend the work already begun. It has not been our privilege to discuss this matter very extensively, but we feel safe in saying that the pi vh alt-UK the road leading north west from Heppner through Lexinj ton to lone would be very glad to have the work continued in their direction. They have come to ap preciate the real pleasure there is in traveling over a road of this charac ter, and while in times past they may have considered such class of road work unnecessary, we venture the sentiment is now practically unani mous in favor of continuing the work. The best argument right now for continued road construction Is the fact that the preliminary expense of installing the plant has been met. It is in, the other machinery necessary for carrying on the work is here and the work is organized. To replace this organization at a later date would mean the expenditure of thou sands of dollars before the real work could be undertaken again, We be lieve, also, that Mr. Smith has proven he will do good, honest work, and since he has done enough of it here to become acquainted with what is required to make good macadam out of the materials we have, he is a good man to continue on the job. It will surely be a mistake if the county court allows the work to stop now, and we hope that sufficient in terest will be worked up that they may be induced to go ahead and con tract for extensions leading as far as lone. STILL NOTHING DOING". In our issue of three weeks ago we called attention to the fact tnal Heppner was badly in need ot a mno- lcipal rest room, properly fitted up with lavatory and toilet. The great number of tourists daily passing this way find no accomodations of thia nature here, and it is working to.our detriment. So far nothing has been done. We thought that the attention or the City Council to the need was per haps all that was necessary, but we guessed wrong. They have been too busy to meet to consider things of this nature, and so it has passed along. We have heard numerous com plaints, and the town is getting some very bad advertising as a result. The hotel accomodations are very poor. because of the big fire, and this con dition will not be changed for many months, perhaps, so why not get to gether on this municipal rest room as a proposition to care for a pressing need for the time being. Put in a teptic tank and will be readily accessible to the trav and they remained over a day to visit lta their ralativea.
