'We expert it to lie unanimous," say the nienilievs of tlio commission. Klllolt Is lU'liiliu'il. The commission inillioii.ed Clinir imin Henson to return the serviees of J. A. Kllioll, who is the present road master for Wasco eo'mty to priseeute 1 lie work in Hood liiver mid Waseo counties. The demited f'r this work iH preRsinir, and in older to avoid clos ing the Columbia river highway dur ing tlio Hummer season on account of the considerable blasting that is to be done on that work, it is consid ered important thai the matter bo at tended to at an early date. I'raetienlly the same arninc,emeiil was miide for the retention of the Herviccs of li. H. Murdoek, roadiniis ter in Coos county, on the work being done under the direction of Hie stale hifih way department. M. 0.

A communication wiis received from the Orant county court unking for advieo as to the form of bonds that should be issued and the dclails concerning a $170,1100 county bond is sue which it is proposed lo submit to the Grant county voters for the purposo of improving the John Day river highway and other roads in Hie county. The matter was referred to Attor ney Oeneral lirnwn. J illamook county is discussing a $412,000 bond issue, but owing to jo cnl differences of opinion, is unable lo agree on the route of a road between Wheeler and Nehnlem. They have, it is understood, agreed to leave the location to the arbitrnlion of the slate liighwny commission. They so noti fied Hie commission and as ti result Chairman J!cnsn will go lo Tillamook county and try lo reconcile matters, l'oilwnl OoH'nitlon. At its, afternoon session the com mission discussed with representa tives of tho I'niled Stales office of public roads the question of stale anil federal cooperation. The federal au thorities require (hat a comprehensive plan covering 1'ive years' work be sub mitted. This' is somewhat difficult owing to the uncertainly regarding Hie six mil lion dollar lioml plan. Should Hie question be defeated at the June elect ion it would I hen be necessary to readjust the road plan. It may be possible that two alter native plans can be put up lo I lie sec retary of agriculture, one contingent on the bond issue carrying, Hie oilier on its rejection. S.
