next fall. This Official states the policy OF
the oilieiaIsis to remove difficult obstacles

Silver creek. The letter referred to also
states tina: a. soen In the spring a. praeti-
cable, competent engineers win be sent TO
ascertain ~ to whether or not the route

who reyel in deep mud or deep snow. and
have mammoth newspapers, have big no.

Once there were no dailies In Albany
now two. and some day when we get as
big as Spokane Falls we'll have as big
newspapers, and, we will remember how
things grow, and not smile at the size sf
the dailies IN CORVALLIS, Eugene, Lebanon
and Brewnsvllle. Big and little sheets tili
their respective fields, sometimes the latter
making up In quality for want of quantity.
