Carol
Cara, Or., Nov. 9. Glad to hear from
that '-other fellow." Calla's gum boots

It is jolly to know that an abler body is in
the field, and the lively happening in and
around Cams will not go unrecorded. We
heartily endorse Fanner s sentiments with
rvirard to the roails. Not only the steep
grades but the deep holes, broken corduroy,
rocks, rixns and stumps make a trip to Ore- j
gon City a dreailed tak. However, the best !
method of improvement would he to run I
an electric or steam motor, or any kind of j
railway along this Molalla road, and then j
we wouldn't care what sort of roads the
county had. Selfish? It's the onlv way to j
make permanent improvement, anil the
good example mtg lit be fol!oe'.

THE ROAD OJXSTIOS.
One of the Interested Farmers Makes Some
Pertinent Sii;gptions.
To the Editor: In your last issue I no
tice a number of communications over as
sumed names In reference to the wagon
road question, w hich very properly is the
burning question of the day. I have Just
returned from a trip to Butte Creek or Mar
quam and three things struck me very
forcibly: First, the great amount of good
level land between Wright's bridge and Mar
quam. Second, the very small amount in
cultivation, apparently not more than one
acre in fifty. Third, the awful condition of
the roads .
The road from Wright's bridge to Mar
quam is almost a straight line with only one
hill of any imiortance, the Everhart, which
I am told can easily be shunned. Now all
this long stretch of road wants is to he
thrown up on either side ami planked, and
all the produce north of the Kverhart hill
would naturally he taken to the Falls City.
The amount would be Immense and in
creasing every year until all those broad
acres would find their natural outlet at Ore
gon City. But when It has crossed the Mo
lalla bottom it meets the Howard, Paine,
and Eaton hills, to say nothing of the Bea
ver Creek bills and many other hills on the
present road. Now the question arises,
What shall be done to escape this Icarful
and almost impassable piece of road from
Wright's bridge to Oregon City? I answer
let the committee appointed by the board
of trade cull to tlieir aid old settlers along
the route suggested by one of your lust
week's correspondents (Native) and make a
careful examination commencing at or near
the McCord place, and select the same route
viewed by the late K. L. Kasthatu some
yeurs since and as suggested by your last
week's correspondent. They will find an
excellent route for this thoroughfare until
they reach the vicinity of the Alpine farm,
and from there take the survey made by Mr.
Thlelson, who made a railroad survey for
B. S. Pengra, until they reach the Milk
creek valley at a point between J. Knott's
and Howard's mill when the entire dilll
culty will be overcome.
The advantages of this route are; first and
altogether the most important, it will be lo
cated on the most level route that can be
found from Oregon City to Wright's bridge.
Second, it will be two and a half or three
miles nearer than the present route. Now I
would not if I could bar the board of trade
committee from examining other routes,
but would only ask them to examine the
above route and choose the best route, and

have confidence in your committee thai
they will not be biased In their actions by
any personal motive, and I truly liox no
