In looking over our exchanges we note the fact that paving Is the popu lar thing at this time. Many cities In Oregon have already commenced the work and others will do no at once. Salem has a contract under way and its citizens are not dis posed to give the contractors more time because it rains. They say number of their streets'aro practical ly Imputable nnd the people have risen In their might and are making a determined effort to put an end to the mud and discomfort which surrounds them. Those poor Salem ltes really know nothing about bad Streets; they have never passed over onr Sixth street or had occasion to cross It down toward the' bridge. Why every day women and children mire down In the mud and slime and have to be rescued by those living along the street, who keen handy ropes and tackle for the purpose. 8ome of our local statesmen are de claring themselves In favor of a little paving, but that won't do the property owners and the people. They want many blocks of It and nothing else will satisfy them. The facts are we are In about the same condition they are in Dallas. The Itemlzer of that city says: "It Is a common remark now on the streets to hear our land owners and residents bemoaning the fact the streets of Dallas were not pnved when the macadam was put on, as the Itemlzer worked so hard to p. ;. done, believing that the right way to do a thing was to do It, and do " right at the outset. While macadam is much better tliiin our old creek (travel, and answers very well dur ing the dry seasons, yet when wet weather comes, we are up against the same old troubles that beset us with the old streets -the name mud, the samo holes and the same stink."

PROCTOIt-In this city, Monday, November 29, 1909, to Mr. and Mrs. P. p. Proctor, n 12-pound boy. Mrs. Rosa M. Hudson, beloved wife of L. C. Hudson, aged 38 years, 5 months and 23 days, from anemia. The death of Mrs. L. C. Hudson at Gallce last Saturday night, while not unexpected, shocked the community, where she was universally respected and beloved. She had been ill about two months, but only In the last ten days was her condition deemed es pecially critical. The funeral serv ices were held Monday morning at Gallce, the Impassable condition of the stage road rendering it impos sible to take tho remains to the fam ily home at Selma for interment. The obsequies were attended by a large gathering of the miners of Gallce and their wives and daughters, despite the Inclemency of the weath er. The body was given a tempor ary resting place on the hill above the residence. It will later be re moved to Selma for its final sepul chre. Mrs. Rosa M. Wilson Hudson was born at Catto, Mendocino county, Cal., on May 28, 1871. She grew tt girlhood there. On December 24, 1891, she was married to L. C. Hud son at Gold Run, Cal. The family came to Oregon nine years ago, and with the exception of an Interim of two years In Idaho, have lived con tinuously in Josephine county, most of the time at Selma, where Mr. Hud son has farming interests. For over a year past they have resided at Gallce, where Mr. Hudson Is super intendent of hydraulic operations for the Old Channel mine. 'Mrs. Hudson was a woman of many lov able qualities of heart and mind. She was a faithful and devoted wife, a loving nnd tender mother. Her circle of friends embraced all who knew her and her untimely loss In the noontide of life will ho keenly felt. She Is survived by her hus band and seven children, five girls and two boys.
