recently gave expression 10 It's hope b
saying that there was probability OF :"
little war" IN this county over the matte
Of bridges, consequent upon the desire Q
Jefferson TO have one built across th
Santiam.
No hope In H. Simply a fact from In
dications. II is safe to say Marion coun
ty cannot build bridge at Salem an'
Jefferson the same year, hence the situa
tion. The DKMocRAr Is certainly in favo
Of a bridge at Jefferson and everywher
else where needed. We suggest that on
County Court order one there, and Civ
a chance 10 see whether that county vii
come to time, which Il has only done II
talk 10 far. The jefferson Review says
"The sticking point Is with the Lin
county court, with her "compamtlvel,
small losses, aud II she will come up ant
do the fair thing by Syracuse precinc
there will be bridge across the Santlam
at jefferson, before January lst, 1891
There II no doubt but what Albany woul,
be a large gamer by the bridge here, ,mor
10 than salem, from the fact that Alban,
Is but nine miles away, and Salem eigh
teen."
