Governor Chamberlain
Gets Enthusiastic
Over Rock
Wants the New State Boule'
vard to the Reform School
Finished That Way
Stnte Foreman Levi Herren Is
whooping up the grade on the Salem
and reform school boulevard with a
force of teams and trusty men from
the state prison. Ho la clearing tho
roadway from fence to fence, leaving
not a shrub or blade of grass, with
four-foot ditches and a regular rail
road berm slope to tho middle of the
road which Is up four feet above the
Bides, and to grade. Tho whole work
Is being as carefully built as a piece
of track for a transcontinental rail
road, and In Mr. Herren the governor
has found tho right man for this
work. His lines are as straight as a
steel rail and tho people will see a
piece of road there that would be a
credit to any city.
Wants Broken Rock.
Governor Chamberlain was driven
out over tho Liberty broken rock road
that was built last year, and visited
the rock pit whero the rock crusher
is at work. He surprised the crew by
appearing at 8 o'clock, nnd asked the
foreman and a number of tho men a
great many questions. He came away
with pieces of tho rock In his pocket,
and with a firm determination to use
that rock on the reform school road,
If It Is In tho reach of the state appro
priation to get It. He was very much
pleased at the general character of the
Liberty road, and said It would be al
most a crjme to expend money In' the
old way, when such results could bo
obtained.
Extending the Liberty Road.
A force of men are at work bringing
tho Liberty broken rock road to tho
.city limits on the south. A fine grade
lis being put up, and tho first layer
of broken rock Is being put down.
This will be rolled, and then a finer
layer of broken rock will be put on
nnd rolled again and thon the finest
layer and that rolled will finish the
road. A subscription of $240 was
raised at Salem, and more will be sub
scribed. South Commercial Street.
Alderman Bayno Is moving to have
a grade established on South Com
mercial street, and will take the next
step to havo tho street ordered Im
proved by the city council. Ho advo
cates having one-half of the Improve
ment met by tho general cash road
fund levied by the county on tho prop
erty of that ward, and the other half
to be raised by subscription or assess
ment of tho abutting property. South
Commercial street people aro getting
tho road fever, and yet It may all end
with establishing a grade, but It Is be

JOURNAL GETS RESULTS.
It Is a Good Newspaper for Advertis
ers, But There Are Others.
At least ono man In Oregon recog
nizes the value of an advertisement
In the Dally Capital Journal,, His
name Is F. M. Morley, of Sllverton,
and he does not hesitate to express
his appreciation of the power of this
paper to bring results. Mr. Morley had
a largo number of hop roots, and he
wanted to dispose of thom. He placed
an advertisement In the "Want Col
umn," and In less than three weeks
had disposed of 80,000 roots, directly
through tho paper. In tho future whon
he wants to buy or sell anything ho
says he knows just what to do.
Mr. Morley Is not alone, however,
for hundreds of others havo always
found The Journal a- dlsemlnator
worthy of their patronage.
