' " Viewing with disfavor the action of the present Democratic county administration in excessive expenditure of the peoples' money to exploit unnecessary experiments in roadmaking, and to satisfy personal Inexperience; mindful of the widespread dissatisfaction among the taxpayers of this county regarding unequal assessments and unfair distribution of the bnrderr of taxation ; opposing, unalterably, the encroachment of a court without jurisdiction or authority of law upon the rights and prerogatives of any officer of the county : and regarding the dis missal of a legally appointed public servant without authority ef law, as contrary to the principles of constitutional govern ment ; Therefore be it - - Resolved, That we favor the permanent betterment of every highway Benton county, without regard to the political com plexion ot the section to which it leads or through which it passes. AN IMPASSABLE ROAD. Justifiable Kick from County Residents.

DELEGATES TO THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. George LJlly Ed Williams E. R. Bryson W. S. J. R. Smith " C. V. Johnson Marion Hayden Tomlinson. The citizens of that part of Linn county living on and using the road leading from Corvallis Ferry to Albany, held a mass meeting at the Dixie school house last week. -Mr. Applegate was chosen chairman of the meeting, and Ed. Caldwell, secretary The object of the meeting was to aeciae upon some piau ior getting the road put in order. The road in question is the South ern two miles of the main' road from Corvallis to Albany: There are several places on this road where, by reason of holes and quicksands, the highway is utter ly impassable. This condition of affairs occurs every winter and the residents in that locality are getting discouraged. It belongs to Linti county to keep this road in repair, and the residents want to know why they do not do their duty in the premises. The mail stage of Vidito Bros, tried to make the trip over this road, but found it impossible, and were obliged to return to Cor vallis, and make the run over the West side road; which is some two miles longer. It was claim ed by some of the people at the meeting, that the fact that a good road here would allow more people to go to Corvallis to obtain their supplies, in preference to Albany. This may not be a factor, but there are many who believe it. These people also state that the Benton county authorities keep their road, which runs on the west side of the rivet to Albany bridge, in good repair at all times and that Benton county people who live much nearer Albany than Corvallis, do most of their trading, iaithe former city. ,No work has been done on this road of any consequence for several years, and it is certainly time to make a beginning. Secretary Hayden asked to be excused from further duties in this office, and Virgil Carter was appointed to his place. The following delegates were elected to the state convention: - Real Estate Transfers. DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION. Walter Humphry O. V. Hurt M. Burnap G. H. Wamsley J. O. J. B. Irvine Thos.'
