Start Road Building
The mile stretch of road bat ween
West Scio and Munkerv has been de
clared a market road by the county
court and accepted by the state.
This completes the market road
proper from (keen's brides to Mill
City. , Work is progressing nicely
on the strip from the Arnold school
house to Jordan, and in Lyons com
munity.
As soon as the big Caterpillar can
be brought over fiom near Lebanon,
where it is working, grading and
filling will be started, probably this
week. The swale just this side of
the Roe Phillips home is to be Ailed
in bv bringing the dirt from the high
places, while the same applies to the
swale from the J. L. Arnold home
to the railroad at Munkers. The
little bridge is to be eliminated and
the larger one doubled and rebuilt.
When completed, thia will be one of
the tiest roads in the county and
will lie level
We understand M O.
Arnold, road supervisor of that dis
trict. will have charge of the work,
which means a good road.
The road past the C. D. Osborn,
Fred Roadarmel and Anna Hirona
farms is to receive 300 yards of
gravel in the near future, wo under
stand.
Work started on the Santiam high
way near the Sanderson bridge yes
terday and will go toward Lebanon.
A Pertinent Inquiry
Do the people of thia community
want a community fair? Do you
believe it pavs to exhibit your beet
before your neighbors, friends and
strangers? No one seems interest
ed. even those who won priaee here
tofore? If Scio is not the place for
it. where would you suggest? The
county fair is close, and if we are to
have an exhibit there a community
fair must be held hereabout. If it
inconveniences you to tell the Tri
bune whether it is worth while to
hold a fair or not. tell some one else
who will, or tell some other news
paper, but give us some clue upon
which some one can work. The Tri
bune asked for an expression last
week, but no far everybody's lips
have been sealed. Why?
