Property owners along Johnson creek near lente Junction are very mnch in terested in a project to inprove tbe stream and cot out some of its numer ous windings. As tbe years have past, moot of tbe timber has been removed from the land near the creek, but a lot of drift baa accumulated and there are many places where it is almost entirely stopped up. To completely remove all drift along the stream might prove a mistake, as wearing of tbe adjacent land would be far more rapid. As the country near Hogan. Anderson and Orient ia cleared of its forests, drainage will be morn rapid and high waters will be more fre quent and sodden. People living in the flat valleys near the stream will be far more likely to suffer from overflows tban now. A few hundred dollars spent in clear ing parts ol tbe channel and cutting off some of the windings will relieve tbe trouble. It would not be necessary to make cuts to the depth of tbe stream ted, but if canals are cut a few feet deep they will relieve tbe congestion and gradually grow deeper. The O. W. P. is preparing to guard against future washouts by potting in drain culverts every 100 feet, but while that will save tbe road it will not im prove prospects for property-holders in tbe vicinity of Lents Junction. Plane are now being discussed as to plans for raising funds to carry through tbe work. ROCKWOOD Floyd Lovelace ane George Brown left tor southern Oregon on Wedneeday. The house of F. H.
