Stafford Notes.
Stafford, Dec. 11. The high winds and
heavy rains, for tbe past few days, have
raised cain in some places, blowing down
fences, trees and in one instance taking
part of the roof off a barn.
The ground is lull of water, and some
wells are almost over flowing.
A portion of the roof,.on the west side of
Mrs. H. E. Hayes' large barn, was blown
away last Friday night. A hole probably

Sunnyside News.
Bi'nnysiiie, Dec. 11. December is here
with rain and snow.
Thanksgiving day passed off very quietly
here. The only eelebrations at Sunnyside
were a dinner given by the people at the
church which was well attended, and a
quiet dinner at Mr. Becker's. Both dinners
were much en joyed and all were thankful
for all the good things they received.
On the 30th of November a sad procession
wended its way to the graveyard on the
hill, Mr. Higgins, from Portland, formerly
of Sunnyside, bringing the remains of his
youngest daughter to lay by the side of his
wife and another daughter, making in all
three graves within three years. Three
years ago Mr. Higgins came here from Nova
Scotia to settle on a little farm In Sunny-
side. In a few days from the time be
moved here his wife was taken sick and in
three weeks died. The oldest daughter
soon rollowed her mother, and now the
youngest daughter, Nerve, has been laid be
side her mother and sister. Tbe husband
some better.
Mrs. lVardorlf is able to ho around again.
A. Hunter received a visit from his sister,
Mrs. lhiker, and his brother James Hunter.
The Sunnyside graveyard is having a new
tviard fence built around It and also some
clearing done on it by some of the inter-
' estod parlies. The Improvement wan much
I needed.
j Mr. Johnson is having a cellar dug under
his house
and a brick foundation put
under it.
PLANK ROAD Bl ILliINO.
To Til a Kmrna: Viola now has the longest
plank road in (his county, I believe. We
have built one mile and one eighth of road
in two years, and it will he well to say right
here that about eight of the workers of Vi
ola built the road. While it in not asstralght
and good as could be wished, It demon
strate to the people that it Is the kind of
road tor Clackamas county.
First It is the cheapest road to miild.
Second It will allow the tanner to haul
m ore on his u ai:ou than on a gra eled mad.
Third Your horses come home from a
trip to town not plastered with mud, hut In
a condition to work next day it uu wi-li.
Fourth- You can drive to Oregon City in
one-half the lime that you could on a grav
eled road.
Parties in Ibis sictionwho havalwa
advocated that a plank road would healail
ure. come out now and say thiit it is the
road for Claikamas county.
Plank mails can be built in this section
for about M'-'O a mile. The nuestion that
perplexes tlie people of this county is how
lo bit on a plan that will give them a good
road. I think that lo bond the district
along the main mad for a'stillicient amount
of money to build a road would be a good
way. Say, take l'j mile each side of a road
and levy a tax so much per acre, would give
tlie required amount to build the road. I
would like to hear from others on this
question. W. C. W.tan.
