If a greater uumler of Oregon's

part or the time la that capacity the
proldtnu of providing gootl roads. In
this Tkinity would le a matter of
easy solution. The t retch of 'road
leading east from this city antl ad
joining the icnitentkiry grounds' will
for, years be a monument to ut-ess-ful
antl practical road c-onstruetipn.
A foree of a dozen convicts under
the direction of John Porter, farmer
at the state lenitent iary is now en
gagetl in the construction of a road,
a little over a mile in length. In-ginning
at tlie E. C. Cross Rlaiighter

Westacott & Irwin. Tlie work has
been hi progress just two weekii and
will 1n complettsl "iu another wek,
which will be remarkably gotKl time

way, built on stmly scientific an 1
practical.- plansf When eouipk-ted it -j
will le one of tin finest stations of!
rojttl in the county and the rapidity j
witn juicii the construction work
is being accomplished is surprising.
but Mr. l'orter is a practical road
lmildtj and knows how to" utilize the
lalstr at his command.
The road will liave a 22-foot lase
and will le finely graded. Iu making
tho retuirtsl grade, a natural Nsl of
unusually flue gravel, perfectly adapt
ed to road work, was uncovered
along the roadway. This discovers
dispenses with the necessity of haul
ing gravel from a distance for the
road antl very greatly- expedites the
work.
More of Ihis good work could Ik

the 2.oo appropriation ia!out 17'H

but In a tlesision rendered by Attor

tie intention of Senator' Ijooney and
others -who were Interested iu the
passage .of the bill to have the roads
constructed even though it Iteeanio
necessary to employ other tennis but
in tin bustle incident to securing the
favorable consideration of the meas

in the strict letter of the law none
