A. iJKTIXJE ACROSS THE SANT1AM AT
Lebanon. The question of bridging the
tantiam river at Lebanon has been agi-
. fated more or less tor years. The difficul
ties connected with crossing this turbulent
stream have long been a back set to the
. people of the Forks ef the Santiam, and
appeal after appeal has- went up from the
citizens there to the county authorities to
help them by appropriating at least half
the necessary funds to construct such a
bridge as is needed and demanded by that
section. Tbe Forks contains nearly one
third of the population of the county, has
rich and fertile lands, and all that Is wanted
. a a . a n
to mni ner citizens mat and prosperous J
is proper and convenient outlets to a mar
ket. The erection of ft bridge across the
Saotiam at Lebanon would go for towards
filling this want, ami as fkr as we are con
cerned we can see no good reason why the
eounty should withhold aid in a matter so
important to so great a mass of her peo
1 pie. Tbe citizens of Lebanon, who are
also Interested in tills matter, have gone to
work and raised f4,000 by subscription
towards building a substantial bridge. The
business men of Albany are Interested hi
this matter. Trade that now goes to
Marion comity would all come to Albany if
such a bridge was constructed thousands
of dollars that rightfully belongs to Albany
and Lebanon, is now diverted elsewhere
on account of tbe difficulty experienced in
crossing this stream. A delegation ot the
citizens of Lebanon came to this city to
ask the County Commissioners to- aid in
erecting such a bridge as is required at
this point, and we hope these officials, see
ing tlae necessity of the case, have or will
grant the demaud, so that the work may
be commenced at once. The point select
ed tor spanning the Santiam is about one
mile ease of Lebanon. The east bank of
the river at this point is above high-water
mark, and is of solid rock ; the west bank
is not so high. The bridge ol tbe Smith-
Truss patera will require a pier- and an
abutment, will be covered, sided and
painted, ana will cost from $8,000 to $10,-
. 000..... -

tbe annual meeting on the 5th Inst-,
voted to erect a new 8chool-lxue to cost
from $1,200 to $1,500. As there were but
few of tbe land-holders present, the carpet
baggers had it all their own way, and
voted the necessary tax. This serves the
land-holders right for .not attending to
tber own business. Our school-house is
not a bad one at all. .having had a new roof
put on it five years ago. besides having a
new foundation put under the entire build

lasted for some years yet and done good
service. But let ns have a new school-
house now ; times are so good, and money
so very plentiful that we can stand it !

and, should the storm continue another
day or so, a general break of the ice will
occur, and results will be disastrous.

Chicago says newspaper criticism of Sec
retary Robeson's course in allowing a
Government vessel to be used by a party
'private citizens and officials for a sup-
t ;d private purpose, has been so great
that the Secretary telegraphed on the 2d to
Senator Cameron that on account of this
newspaper howl he desired the Senator to
take his party on a regular steamer, it
they still wished to continue their Journey.
The correspondent says tbe exposure of
the purposes of the trip had .about broken
tt op any-way, and it was not impossible
that the party would report the yellow
fever epidemic as an excuse for returning
home. Following this comes the announ
cement that the steamer Dispatch liad lett
New Orleans for Vera Cruz, with tbe
Senatorial excurtionlsts.
