There has been but little gossip in the rotunda this
year and until the Rogue river fishing bill and the state
highway measure came up practically none about money illegitimate children bill
ngunng in the way of passing or defeating bills. There
has been considerable business on the part of Dame
Rumor that there was a financial side to these, but if
there was, the old lady aforesaid is the only one that has
any knowledge of it.

One of the road projects that is of special interest to
Salem and a large part of the Willamette valley is the
proposed highway to the coast. It is proposed to follow
the route of the present road through Wilhelmina to
Dolph and from the latter point to Nestucca bay and the
coast, and on to Tillamook. Such a route would place
Salem within a three-hour drive of the coast and be a
great convenience to every part of the valley. Most of
the road is already in good condition and real construc
