Once m ore as th e y ear is d raw
ing to a close we are looking back
on our success or our failure,
w hichever it m ay have been. As
individuals we can alw ays see
w here we m ight have improved,
and not have let so m any oppor
tu n ities slip by w ithout grasp in g
them . But we m u st rem em ber th a t
“th e re is no re su rre c tio n from
th e grave in w hich opportunity
is buried." We should alw ays be
on th e lookout for these opportuni-.
ties w hether they be financial, so
cial or m oral and be ready to im
prove them and do all th e good
th a t we can.
Looking back over the p ast year
in th is locality we can see some im
provem ents probably not as m any
as in some form er years, b u t they
a re w h at we may te rm la stin g ones.
B oring for the la st year has been
th e ce n te r of road w ork for th is
section of C lackam as county. The
first activity in th is line of w ork
w as th e h au lin g of 8,000 y ard s of
gravel onto th e Mt. Hood Loop

here over the P. E. P. line, then
dumped into b u n k ers and th en the
c o n tra c to r’s tru c k s picked it up
and distributed it over th e loop. R.
E. Johnson had the c o n tra c t for
doing th is w ork. T hen C lackam as
county has graded and graveled the
four m iles of th e B oring-O regon
