He declared to be preposterous Bixby's statement that he had given one girl more than $4000 to aid her to a better life.

OPPOSES CHANGES IN ROAD APPORTIONMENT County Commissioner Llghtner, in a report to Chairman w. W.

Llghtner takes up the history of the present system. According; to the report prior to Jan uary 30, 1804, there were 14 road districts In Multnomah county.

In this manner prac tically all of Multnomah county became district No. 1 and receives the benefit of the funds raised in Portland. 6PE RECEIVES LARGE NUMBER OF PILGRIMS Rome, Sept. 29.
