Malheur County funds urged for inter state bridge
James Haworth reported from the Oregon side that Malheur County should appropriate 3000 dollars from the county treasury to assist in building an interstate bridge between Oregon and Idaho at Weiser. Citizens from Dead Ox Flat Willow Creek and nearby areas drafted a petition for county commissioners, arguing the bridge is essential for business and will benefit many taxpayers who now receive little direct return on their taxes. Haworth noted near unanimous support in Yale and ongoing circulation in Jordan Valley, believing a board meeting in Mach could secure backing.
