Roadmaster Bert Mills announced
to The Mist that he will not seek the
appointment of roadmaster for the
county for the coming year. His de
cision was not on account of any fric
tion with the court or because bis
work was not satisfactory but because
he sees better opportunities in the
Nehalem country. Mr. Mills has a
fine ranch near Vernonia and he plans
to develop this, and with Vernonia
growing as it is, he believes he might
engage in a business which would not
keep him away from home as much as
does the duties of roadmaster. Before
being appointed roadmaster, Mr. Mills
was supervisor of Road District No. 9

a road builder.—St. Helens Mist.
