PAPER ' - r i al summing up of the cx Ies!e ;k ouiit In connection with the grading A the road on Jones hill re veals an amount about 100 per cent In .. s of all estimates furnished the u.-i'y Court prior to the begin nJrjR of "-ork. The Court called for estimates on this job and got figures fr n; Mr. Baldock, engineer In charge of w.ir': here and attached to the Sta' Highway Commission. His first IV .jgested that the work could be d ine for around $10,000 and later he rr i -"d his figures and gave the Ci : i estimate around $15,000, and the vort was authorized. Since the grading is completed, Baldock comes in with the figures of cost amounting to $25,054.26 for 3.22 mi.es of grading on the Jones hill. The Court raises no question re garding the work. The job has been well djne and is pronounced by those who should konw, one of the best pieces cf work in the entire county. The sore spot v.Kh the Court seems to be the great cost. They acted in the best of faith in going into the work, and were advised continually by the engineer that the job was be ing pert -rmed within the bounds of his estimate, therefore the nearly 100 per cent increase has given the Court a severe shock. They have a right to feel that they were some what buncoed by the engineer and led to wonder if the State Highway Commission will have no better man on the job here to assist in carrying on the work in the future. Surely a man that can not come closer to what a job of work of this kind should cost when completed than thi: one did, ought to be in some other line of business. Some $68,000 was spent in road work this season in grading and ma cadamizing of roads, the greater por tion of which was on the line of the State Highway through Heppner, and the county will get back $19,000 of this sum, being the amount advanced on behalf of the state. The program for the coming year, on the part of the State Highway Commission calls for the completion of the Columbia Highway across the north end of Morrow county, a distance of 24 miles. For this work the county will expend $22,000 and the State will complete the job, having allowed $130,000 for this purpose. The High way Commission has also given to this county $30,000 additional which will be used for harftsurfacing the mileage already graded and macad amized. Just how much further the county will go with this class of work the coming year will be left to the new court to decide. We trust the new court may be spared in its labors of road building the faulty estimates under which the retiring court has had to work. But we are ready to give the retiring members all credit, notwithstanding of having begun a good work and trust that it will be continued just as fast as possible, that the county may eventually have a system of good highways. tt 1 Clyde Wells is confined at home this: week by sickness.

Notify R. E. ALLSTOTT, Eight Mile, Oregon dl9-tf The family of R. E. Allstott on Eight Mile have been under quaranr tine for several weeks past with small pox. The disease has been of very mild form and we are informed that they are all recovered now and that the quarantine will be lifted shortly. A few cases of this disease are also reported at Hardman and in that vicinity, all of them being of a light form and no one very seriously sick. The community sale at the fair grounds on Saturday last, conducted by the Farmers Exchange, was quite successful, the most of the stock offered going at good prices. These monthly sales are a fine thing for Heppner, being the means of draw ing a large number of people to town, and they should be encouraged by the community. It should be a fixed program, to be called regularly each month, as such sales are mutually beneficial to the farmers and city. Howard McCarty, who has been at work in the foot hills, was brought to town on Tuesday in a very Ber lous condition, suffering with pneu monia. He rode as far as the John Kilkenny place on horseback and was 'brought in from there by car. Upon reaching the hospital his fever was at 105.
