PLACING GRAVEL
ONE MILE A DAY
Graveling operations on the
Willamette-Pacific fine to Coos
bay are going ahead rapidly with
gravel hauled from the Spring
field pits. Nearly four miles of
track received the first lift of
ballast in four days, and it is
expected that the distance to
Acme will be finished by the
end of the week. A second lift
will then be given the track, fol
lowed by a finishing coat of the
finer gravel.
Approximately 1000 yards of
gravel a day are being taken in
two train loads, the first of
which leaves Springfield at 6 in
the morning. Two cuts of 12
cars are taken to Blair street by
the pit engine, one cut in the
forenoon and one in the even
ing after the shovel has shut
down, and these two sections
form the afternoon gravel train
to the front, so that the road
crew is back in Springfield by
early evening.
Sixteen-carloads of sifted sand
and gravel have been sent to

BIDS FOR STREET
Matter of Damage Caused by
Certain Forms of Traffic to
Be Considered Tonight-J. B.
Green, Night Watch, Resigns.
One bid is in and others are
expected before the council con
venes tonight to open the ten
ders for the grading and ma
cadamizing of G street from
Eighth to tho Brattain estate, a
distance of two blocks.
At a meeting of the council
Thursday evening, that bpdy set
a price of $50 for the use of the
city's tools, including the roller,
for the two blocks of work. The
price was fixed at the request of
some of the prospective bidders
who did not wish to l)uy new
equipment for so small a "job.
The council estimates that 'the
$50 would just about make the
city safe for wear and tear on
the tools.
The meeting Thursday was
called for the purpose Of con
sidering what action, should be
taken in regard to damage be
ing done to paved streets by
certain forms of traffic. The
matter was referred to Council
man Coffin, who will report at
the meeting tonight.

ket is very strong, and the pros
pects good for higher prices thjs
year than" last for butter fat. 'in
the last three months over a
million pounds of butter have
been exported from the Pacific
Coast to New Zealand and Aus

Mr. Barkman states that ha

with the' low price of feed and
the demand that is coming, the
