BILLS CONDEMNED TO DIE OPEN FORUM There has been but little gossip in the rotunda this year and until the Rogue river fishing bill and the state highway measure came up practically none about money illegitimate children bill ngunng in the way of passing or defeating bills.

It is proposed to follow the route of the present road through Wilhelmina to Dolph and from the latter point to Nestucca bay and the coast, and on to Tillamook. Such a route would place Salem within a three-hour drive of the coast and be a great convenience to every part of the valley. Most of the road is already in good condition and real construc tion work is necessary only upon a short section in Yam hill and Tillamook counties.
