NEW ROAD PROPOSED I'P
THE WESTON . MOUNTAIN
There ia prospect of a new and
better county road leading into Wes
ton from Weston mountain. The old
toad has been a source of annoyance
and complaint ever since the moun
tain was settled, because of steep
and rocky grades, and the mountain
is a unit in wanting a new highway.
The proponed route loads up Hale
creek, and ia said to admit of a
grade of less than seven percent.
The county court will be petitioned
to open it as a county road, and
Weston people will co-operate with
mountain residents in this move
ment A delegation goes to Pendle
ton today. A preliminary survey of
the proposed route has been made by
Z. A. Lanadale, C. E.. of Pendleton.
Wind Tors With Mail Carrier.
During the heavy wmd last Satur
day Roy May, mail carrier on route
No. 1 out of Weston, had rather an
unusual and unpleasant experience
while coming down the Basket maun
tain road. He had removed the top
from his buggy, but nevertheless the
rig blew entirely over when caught
by a strong and angry gust. It
turned upside up, catching Roy be
neath it, and he was dragged some
25 feet before being able to release
himself from his dangerous predica
ment The frightened .team plunged
on down the grade, tearing the-buggy
to pieces. On reaching the Sam
Key place the horses took opposite
routes, and one o,f them still had a
piece of -buggy trailing along be
hind. Taking stock of personal dam
ages, Roy found that be wasn't much
the worse for his experience.
