VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON PAGE TWO Minister Wat (jotfneeteisaBall “I wish that you could bring pressure to bear to speed the con­ struction of the short cut from Portland. I would love to see this highway. It will come event­ ually but I want it to come in my time because I want to use it.” These were the statements ex­ pressed by B. F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon Journal, in a talk ■ before the Seaside chamber of commerce Wednesday. Mr. Ir­ vine is taking one of his frequent short holidays here. “It would be a wonderf ul thing, not only for you, who would pro­ fit by it, but for me to spend many of my weekends here throughout the winter. “As soon as the people of Port­ land realize what you have here they will want to come all of the ■ year ’round and they will demand the short road to the sea. I think that the commission is ready to take some steps in that direction as soon as certain interests are harmonized. I have worked for it and will continue to work for it.”—Seaside Signal. that mU Whistle £ of live Minutes after beinomi Registered at Hotel McDonald during the past few days were Mr. and Mrs. Alberta A.
