Eight HOOD RiVEK GLACIER THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 1008. Robbed vSatimi inm TraEnsM Our Fall Line of Ladies' Suits and Coats and Children's Coats was robbed in transit and almost half of it stolen. It breaks the line of sizes, and as they were not careful in replacing the goods in the box they are slightly mussed, and for this reason we are making a very attractive price on the lot. Call in and look them over. You will appreciate every article as a bargain : : : : R. B BRAGG & CO.. Mood River PLAN AUTO ROAD TO PORTLAND tbe county and valley. If the project was gone Into at present it ought to be financed by voluntary tubsorip tions and before tbia wag done a com petent oouimiUee, consisting otenglu eor and authorities on tbe matter hoald submit est I ma tea aa to Ha coat and otber data. He aupplled la ad dition Home Interesting faota in re gard to tbe original wagon road tbat existed betweeu heie and point be loiv llonnevllle. J. Adrian Epplng, who la one of tbe oommitte tbat baa been investigating the propoaed highway between heie and Portland, and who Is Interested in good roadi generally for tbe valley, atitted tbat be thought realdeota bere sliould take more interest in good rouds tban tbey bad heretofore abown a disposition to do. lie wanted to aee tbe road between bere and Portland built, aa be knew it meant an Inorease iu tbe valuation of every foot of prop erty In tbe valley and a bigger de veipoment or noon itiver tban was possible in a'ny otber way. He want ed to see not only this road built, but a movemeut started foi good roads In the valley at onoe. He stated tbat be knew of a number of mtn bere who would give large subsorlp tlona toward the Portlaud-Hood Hirer road, and tbat be was taking one alwo to build four miles of good road flora the ball park to tbe top of Diivldson bill, and bad already met with considerable suoooBi In raising money for It. Ibis would be built at ouoe and show tbe people bere how good road ought to be made. I). L. Davidson addressed the meet ing in advooacy cf tbe split log meth od of potting roads iu good condi tion, 'and told bow be had used tbia method along the highway in front of his plaoe and for a long distance on either aide ami tbat tbe good results hud been surprising. After being ' treated in this way tbe road bad re mained iu tine shape daring tbe spring and also this summer. As a rseult of the meeting A. J. Epping, P. M. Hull Lewis and C. K. Marshall will not in conjunction with a committee from Multnomah county to make a report and aa estimate of tbe oost of building the highway be tween bere and Portiaud. It la atated that with tbe exoeptiou of one point, tbe building of the pro posed road would be comparatively easy. Itie point referred to ia at Shell Rook, between Hood River and Casaode Looks. It ia aald, boweve, tbat tbia can be made passable by going down to a solid foundation and building a retaining wall to keep baok the sliding rock. Cioing toward Poitlaod fiom Hood River tbe present wagon road ends at Viento. At this point a number of years ago the railroad appropriated tbe wagon road, on wbiub it laid its tracks and wblob it still uies as its road bed until nearing tbe town of Cascade Look. It Is stated tbat the railroad company was allowed to take tbe publio blgbway, which was a part of Tbe Dalles-Sandy Hate road, witn toe understanding tnat it was to replace it with another road. 'Ibis It has never done, and an effort will be made to discover If any such agreement existed, and, If it does, to ask tne cooperation or tbe railroad In building tbe new roan through tbi di ffloult part of the route. " I be part nf the road to be built by Huod Kiver county would extend from Viento to tbe Multnomah Coun ty Una wbion is a short distance above ifonueville and 40 mllea form Poit land. It Is stated by engineer Cann on tbat Multnomah County already baa a road by which It can leach Bridal Veil, 28 miles from Portiaud f rom tbeie to Tanner's Creek, a distance ot seven miles, an entirely new road would have to be ruilt, which would onnneot with the old state road, 5 mllea below Uouiievllle. In all Hood Kiver county would have about 25 miles ot road to build repair or restore and MultnoniBb about 40. Complete Undertaking Establishment. J. E.
