As first mentioned in the Ga zette some time ago, 'there has been a movement on Postmaster i Johnson's part for some time to get an R: F..D. route established' betweeti this city and Bell foun tain. . From a dispatch in Fri day's Oregonian, it seems that Mr. Jshnson is to be granted that for which he has labored so strenuously on behalf of the people. The dispatch referred to is from .Washington, D.. C, and reads as follows: - "Rural free delivery route No. 4 has beeni ordered established by May 15 at Corvallis, Benton County, Or.; serving 400 people and 90 houses." , The route is from this city to Bruce, on the state road, some ten or twelve miles south of this city, thence, south and west to Bellfountain, thence north to Inavale, thence east to the state read and then north to Corvallis. It is supposed that the route will be established at once. This will prove a great convenience to the people of that section of -our county and is one.mqre: spoke- in our" wheel,' which is getting larg er all the time, and which: rolls in the direction - of improvement and. general progressj first, last and eternally. ' . : . ; Since writing the above we are advised that Postmaster Johnson has received official notice' from the authorities at Washington D. C.. regarding the establish ment of said route. . The route is to be established May 15. The establishment is not to be delay ed for any reason, or the route changed, without the direct au- earner jxo. 4 leaves to serve his route at 9:30 a. m. and re Ujjan 6 p. m. Mr. p. : m.
