at o. w. Mills grain house.
Thomas Brown is improving in
strength rapidly which we are pleased
to note. He has been out walking on
our streets quite few times and Mon
day he took a four-mile ride ont in the
country which is very good for one
who has been confined to the house so
long.
An the exchange gives the public

two miles. After reaching section /
in Mussey, they were obliged to run
south for TWO miles to avoid the hills,
and it brought them on the Old Brock
way route for about two miles. The
party has returned to Roseburg to sur
vey line by Old Brockway. The
chef and his assistants deserve praise
for the speed and energy in which they

The above shows Capac's feelings to-
wards Brockway Centre in regard to
the railroad question. If they did not
