COMMERCIAL CLUB
PLANS MASS ROAD
MEETING OCTOBER 15
FARMERS
URGED
TO JOIN IN
CAMPAIGN.
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.
Promises to oil this section of the
Diagonal and Butter Creek highways
have been made many times in the
past few years, but never realized.
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.
The club will meet as usual on
the second and fourth Tuesdays In
the month, with a dinner at the
hotel, beginning at 7:00 p. m.
Among new members introduced
to the club were Rev. R. R. Fink-
beiner, pastor of the Methodist
church; Harvey DeMoss, acting post-
master; O. L. Barlow, manager of
the Co-operative Cannery & Laun
dry; and J. W. McMullen, farmer.
