By CHARLES J. LISLE.
Marion county joined In a tre

noon and evening over the com
pletion of the paved road between
Mt. Angel and Woodburn. The
celebration began at Silverton,"
continued over to Mt. Angel and
then to Woodburn, - and tinally
back to Mt. Angel and almost 1000
people eating ham sandwiches for
dear life in the domestic science
kitchens of the Mt. Angel publio
school.
The road out from Woodburn,
along the Abiqua valley and
through the black soil that raises
the most wonderful crops in the
state, used to be one of the worst
roads in the northwest.
Mammoth Met His Fate.
At Mt. Angel college Thursday
the professor showed the shoulder
blade of an extinct mammoth that
must have drowned in the winter
roads there on that very same flat.
Tor his skeleton was found where
he had bogged down and given up
his tremendous ghost. It took an-
enormously powerful creature to
travel that road in those days
and the road got him in -the end.
for all his ponderosity. It was
the slimiest, slipperiest, muddiest
road in winter time, and the dust
iest road in summer, that any one
ever saw. ' .
Road a Fast On
Now the motorist can buzz aver
that nine .miles at a 60-mile clip

last of the hard surface has been
put down, except two little sec

across small streams. The bridges
themselves have been finished,
but they require several weeks of
seasoning, before being opened for
use. In the meantime, the streams
are cross S on plank bridges built
up over the new concrete struc
tures. When the concrete bridges
are opened for traffic the rest of
the paving on the approaches will
be laid, and then the road will be
complete.
Part of Market System.
The road was laid out as a part
of the comprehensive system of
county market roads, connecting
the important sections of the
county.- There is still the section
of three and one-half miles to
pave between Mt. Angel and Sil
verton.. When that is done, next
year or the year following, there
will be a loop of a little more than
40 miles, from Salem to Silverton,
