IMPROVING FAST Progressive Residents Build Sidewalk from Peacocks to Gibson Hill. CRUSHED ROCK ROADS ALSO PLANNED BY THE FARMERS Meeting Will Be Held Tomorrow at Oak Grove School t Vote Special Road Tax. Continued from Friday, Dec. 27. That the residents of North Albany are becoming more progressive each day is indicated by the fact that a board sidewalk is now being con structed from the residence of Wil liam Peacock out past the railway station and across Thornton's Lake to the North Albany schoolhouse. There is also talk of extending it as far north as Gibson Hill. The ex pense is shared by all the residents benefited. The sidewalk is proving a boon to the residents of the suburb who are employed in this city and who are re quired to walk to town. ' Another indication of the progres siveness of the residents living north of the Willmactte river is the apparent activity that is now being directed to ward securing better roads. The Democrat was informed that a meeting will be held tomorrow at the Oak Grove schoolhouse for the pur pose of voting a special tax to defray the expense of placing crushed rock on several miles of road in north Henton county. According to the information given to the Democrat, the tax will undoubt edly be voted as the majority of the residents of North Albany are in favor of crushed rock roads. The Henton county court offers to furnish the crushed rock free if the residents will vole a tax to place it on the road, and from present indications the tax will nc voieu wun nine opposition. The move for better roads which has been started by Rcnton county is worthy of emulation in Linn. 0 : ' SUPERINTENDENT CAMPBELL INSPECTS C. 5E.

It is made along m entirely new lines and is a great improvement over the old style spreader. .Come in and examine the machine g and you will readily see why the John Deere Spreader is so far superior to any spreader heretofore constructed.

Campbell, general superintendent of the Southern Pa cific and, Corvallis & Eastern rail ways, who spent Christmas day on his private car inspecting, the road from this city to Yiiuuina uud from what that official stated, crews will be placed at work immediately. The frequency at which' wrecks have occurred on the Alhany-Ya-quina road during the past few mouths is believed to have been the principal thing that has caused the Southern Pacific to have the roadbed repaired immediately. So bad is the roadbed that Superintendent Camp bell's private train was one hour and thirty minutes late arriving at Ya-ijuina. Indianapolis, Dec. 26.
