A Correction
The shark spoken
of last week had 276 teeth' instead
of 176 as published.
Several automobiles have come
in lately and they complain bitterly
about the condition of the road in
district No. 8, especially of the
narrow grade near Dave Williams
place and on the Pioneer Mountain.
They say this section of the road
ought to be fixed before another
season opens I am sure if the
croakers, cranks and pessimists who
left Toledo to go to Eastern Oregon
would stay away the people of
that read district would vote a tax
sufficient to make a good road
through that section and thus en.
courage the large travel that is
coming that way and which is in
creasing all the time.
The Mirene and Ahwaneda have
gone to Portland for anotner cargo
of freight.
The plan is to improve our wafer
ways and roads just as fast as pos
sible, and if the cynics and kickers
will stay away the people will suc
ceed. One kicker will stand off
four or five progressive people.
Kill the kickers!
