The accounts are that a dirt road built by Arthur Buchanan in - Willamette Grange lane is the best thing of the kind in the county. The R. F. D. carriers talk about its excellence, and nobody knows more about roads or is more inter- ested in them than R. F. D. men. This road, built . last spring, is de clared to be as hard and smooth as " a race track, and to be a stretch of highway that is worth a toll to drive over it. It is two miles in . length, and in all parts is very com plete. In building it, a layer of dirt was thrown up by the grader and then it was well rolled. . An other layer was then thrown up and the roller again applied. The pro cess was kept up until the desired heighth of grade was attained, when there was a very efficient rolling, the result of all of which is that the road is hard and durable, and destined when gravel or rock is added, to be as fine a stretch of road as there is in the county, Walter Taylor left for a visit at the fair.

D. routes are oper ating in Benton. , Four of them headquarter at Corvallis. Each route bringing its conveniences to about a" hundred families.
