MURPHY TELLS
PROGRESS MADE
ON WEED ROAD
"The road io Weed must be
built; x California can do nothing
els but connect with The Dalles
California highway In rOegon." said
AssembH'jnau J. J. Murphy, of Sis
kiyou county, today In his address
to a large forum attendance at the
chamber of commerce.
The senator then reviewed his ef
forts In the legislatnre In behalf or
this highway which Is of so much
Interest to Klamath Basin. He told
bow hla first bill was progressing
when Governor Young called htm
Into the executive office and said.
"Mr. Murphy, you may have the
strength to put yonr bill through
appropriating one hundred thou
sand dollars for the Weed highway,
but I want to warn you that even
though it passes both houses I
will veto It, for it is contrary to
the platform' I ran on and II will
keep faith with the voters." Gover
nor Young ran on a platform of no
more new roads for a period of
time. , .'
Governor's Attitude Told.
. Mr. Murphy's rehearsal- of th)
Governor's attitude, carried nothing
but the. kindest' expressions toward
the chief executive, and then he
told how Governor Young is trying
to help him get the road by forming
a district of several counties which
Is permlssable under California's
law. .
That headway is being made was
shown when Senator ."."nrphy told
how he had Campaigned the differ
ent counties interested, arriving in
Sacramento where he learned 4hat
Klamath Basin spends each year
with . Sacramento wholesalers a
million dollars. ' Sacramento at
once joined the Murphy crowd for
road. He visited San Francisco and
secured a hearing before the food
supervisors with the result that
they have joined In the movement
and on July 20th there will be a
Murphy meeting In Sacramento to
work out the final plana for Cali
fornia's financing of tbe Weed
road.
'Awnrrs Cooperation.
Judge Fred R. Goddard spoke
S8snrlng Mr. Murptry that the
county road bond issue had just
carried and that the money for
making the road south to the state
line a veritable boulevard is now
I assured.
Today's forum meeting was ex
I ceptlonally well attended and a

were present.
