Kditor Democrat: Last Saturday I visited Corvallis First I took in the public market Three stalls occupied by butchers. each with a large stock ol meat ol various kind. Was told that some days over a ton of beef was sold. Four alalia had vegetables, etc. Une of the.e had apples In one was a large bowl of cottage cheese, An- ilher, a iuantily of sauerkraut. lb. i- two items I feel sure would find a leady sale in Albany's public market. It's a shame that our mar ket is not better patronised. It was conceded that the large O A. C. student-bod, helped Corvallis market. Said one old resident. "Cor- illi, would not be much if it were not for the college. Albany has tin advantage in being on the mam rail road line., and in having more in dustrial plants."

It na- rurally followt that the more progres sive .ii.tr . is and counties outdistance the lett progressive, that the unde veloped section! of the counties have a tendancy to remain undeveloped and that in the poorer counties the result it stagnation and decreate in popula tion. The greatest element of weaknett in our road tyttem liet in our method of maintenance. As a rale the roads are not repaired until they are almost beyond repair.

We will never have good roadt with out the adoption of a continuout tyt tem of repair and methodical inspec tion of all roadt tirnilar to the one in vogue in conlinential Europe. n., of the moit serious aand moil frequent miataket in tlie good roads agitation it failure to provide for maintenance. The esprestion "per manent improvement ' is likely to be a delusion and a snare. The perman ency of an improvement depends large ly upon the character oi maintenance The surface of a highway as well as the foundation needs constant atten tion, similar to that given to a rail road tyttem. It M the repair oi tne small break, the filling of a tmall rut. thettitrh in time that preventi seriout damage and preserves a road. ine c rnmoa dirt road will n stain a heavy traffic if it it properly maintained. The most expensive construction will soon go to pieces if no attention is paid to its manitenance. Care and mainten s,,c of road must begin the day Iti construction ends and be religiously continued during the life of the road. Onlyin this way can the investment j t.cpreterved to the community. The , maintenance then becomes a fiaed charge which must lie taken into ac-1 count and figured in the ultimate cott. I Portland Journal U a tr fir .
