With but six miles of grade to be surfaced on the Willam
ette road to Oakridge it seems that every effort should be
made to complete the job this fall so that it may be used this
winter. The federal bureau of roads will do half of the
job and it seems that the state and county should not fail on
the remainder. For years Oakridge has been like a city in
another county because of the condition of the old road.

LITTLE THINGS
Nothing is more interesting than to hear successful men
reminisce about their careers. Recently, after a golf game,
I had such an opportunity.

One of them said: “I wasn't much of a student in college.
I played on both the football and baseball teams, and I man

‘‘My first job was in the office of a country lawyer in a
small town in Pennsylvania. There I really did work, prepar
