place above all others that needs bridge

portion OF the people OF Bcnton county north
OF Corvallis have been IN the habit Of trading
in Albany more or less, and thousands Of
bushels Of wheat have every year been ferriod
over tho Willamette at this point at great
expense TO the farmers. Much more would
have come had there been bridge, as thus
farmers could have crossed without so much
delay.
Tho result il that In consequence Of the
Inconvenience Of crossing the river. and the
greatly increased amount oi wheat grown,
the farmers. north Of thus place, in. Benton
county, have had TO build two warehouses on
tho river in which TO store their grain for

or. on tho West Side Railroad, has sprung up
aaather little hamlet that will compete with
Albany, not only in the grain trade, but also
in probably every other line. A bridge
across the river at Albany would enable our
people to compete. whereas the way Il ia now
they cannot.
Every little creek in the county has been
bridgcd. aud sometimes in nearly half dozen
places, and the citizcns Of Albany have been
called upon time and again to sign petitions
to tho Commissioners, aud 10 contribute
money also to help build them. aud GER

OF affairs on his road. A week or two beforS
he came down he made trip up the Santiam
canyon as far as Upper Soda with a team,
taking up that far large lot of provisions
for his gang Of workmen. To get there he
passed through snow on some of the grades
to the depth of Is inches. He removed all
land slides until wagons can make the trip
without any danger, but could not do great
deal Of work for the reason that the ground
was frozen Some Of his men walked on up to
the Mountain House from Upper Soda. and
found things in rather had shape. At Elk
Greek the snow was two feet deep. and it
kept deepening until GA the flat ON which the
Mountain House is situated il was about 81

there has been no freshets on Santiam this

He says that the snow Is packed very solid
