Please meet with the representatives of the 'counties through which the Dalles-California highway passes in an effort to se cure said construction. "COUNTY JUDOE BARNS. "H. J. OVERTURF, "Bend Commercial Club." As the state highway commission meets In Portland next week, it is assumed that the commissioners will Join the conference. As it is too late for active construction this year, it Is probable that the work of the meeting will consist in mapping out the extent of the proposed improve ment and laying plans for getting work started as early as possible next year. "There Is a move on foot to raise the bonding limit of the state4for highway purposes from 6 to 15 per cent of the assessed valuation, which is to be submitted to the peo ple's decision at a special election next spring. The reasons for the necessity of such Increase from the standpoint of the highway commis sion and tho effect upon road build ing ln eastern Oregon will doubtless be taken up. Mr. Rogers was unable to say this morning whether the business men's association would be directly repre sented. He thought it might be pos sible to delegate tho entire repre sentation of this county to the dele gate sept by the county court. EVANS PROVES Lark N. Evans, arrested hqro Sun day by local police on reqesut of Sheriff C . E. Torrlll of Jackson county, has proved a complete alibi to the chargo of robbing wJb. White, Grant's Pass Jitney driver, and also cleared himself, of suspi cion ' In connection' with tho dis appearance of an aged prospector, whose body was found near Jalccson vllle several weeks ago. h The officers believe that tho man who robbed tho Jitney driver also was responsible for the prospector's death, but the man Is not Evans, according to a telegram received by tho Herald from Sheriff Terrill this , morning. Evans told tho officers when questioned here after his arrest that he would be able to prove an nlibi by the garage men for whom ho was working in Medford on September 13, tho date of the 'jitney holdup,, and from the sheriff's telegram it appears that ho was able to do so. For six weeks prior tqhls arrost Evans, who is an automechanlc, lived hero and was employed In local, garages. , ' a TP TM NT R 'r - 4 A A 1 iJi rW 'I f, "J -t ,48 :-i H-l .n 'i v & ?i ..'M--M mm
