D, C. Stokesbury came down
from Forest Grove, Friday, and
fitted up the road roller at the
court house, and took it to the
Beaverton-Reedville stretch of
road, on which work commenced
the first of the week. The out
fit will be at work there for two
or three months, and will remain
there until the road is rocked
connecting the ends of the rock
roads. By Fall the people of the
county will have a rock load clear
from Gaston to Portland. The
Beaverton-Portland ei d w ill be
a trifle rough, but there will be
no road that a wagon or machine
can not get through loaded to
the guards. The entire road be
tween Beaverton ' and Forest
Grove will be put in shape, and
hundreds of men will be em
ployed. By Oct. 1, at the latest,
it is expected that the entire
stretch will be completed. In
the neighborhood of $30,000 will
be expended on the work, a part
of it coming from the state. All
the work will be done under the
supervision of the county court,
and no interest-bearing war
rants will be issued, all workmen
agreeing to take the last 50 per
cent, of thepay in the Fall.

The putting on of a night log

summit shows to what extent the
timber cut is assuming to the
north of us. Every mill in this
district is running full time, and
as the bulk of the shipments are
made over rail lines, the port
troubles of sea-going ships will
have but little effect on the cut.
Hugh Rogere, whose position
as scaler, keeps him busy, savs
that the output of logs and lum
