Condition of Diagonal and Butter Creek Highway Believed to Justify Immediate Action. A decision to hold a mass road meeting Tuesday, October 15, was made at the regular meeting of the Hermiston Commercial club at the Hermiston Hotel Tuesday night. This meeting is being called to make every effort at the present time to get some definite action in regard to oiling the Butter Creek and Dia gonal roadr. Farmers living in these sections requiring travel over these roads to reach markets and trading centers will be invited and urged by the club to attend the dinner and give assistance in working out a plan of action.

The roads at present are nearly im passable and definite action must be taken, is the belief of club members. A committee consisting of H. T. Fraser, Henry Sommerer and E. P. Dodd was appointed by R. H. Mc Atee, vice president who presided at the meeting in the absence of the president, W. J. Warner.
