Roaii The suit of Isaac T. Jenny against Clarke County in the District Court has somewhat upset the Territorial lioid Law, and the Judge's decision affects every county ill the Territory. Judge Hoyt held that itice of petition for a road, to be sufficient for the action of the county commissioners must be signed by at least one of the petitioners who should be designated as one of such petitioners, and the notice and petition should describe accurately the place of beginning and the place of ending of the road, by reference to tixed points of survey. The result is that notices and petitions will have to be aiore definite hereafter, aud the road should be surveyed before the petition is tiled with the hoard. At the session of the commissioners last week they rejected all road petitious on the decision of the court.

The exact Hue of future proceedings will be published in this paper as soon aa they are determined upon by tbo authorities. Kkttrn Of TMW Finsr Ptos f.kr.—J. E. 0. Durg.in ot Washougal returned from tilteast Nov.

Tin: Fifth Plus since the country was settled the road from 4th Plain through sth Putin to Salmon creek has been utterly impassable during the winter season.
