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 : : : :

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.
