wave Is spreading. Here in Albany too,
business men who careleasly have said
s'let the Forks 30 II they want 10" are
seeing that Il will be best TO keep intact
tho Linn county Of history, second TO
none in Oregon. No strips or ragged
edged counties are wanted here. The
DEaocRAr Is thorough Linnite, has been
for twenty-six years and win oppose d.
vision from MI quarters. Look ut the
map: the best shaped county in Ore
gon, perhaps,is ours. 40x70 miles, about
40x30 Of which Is the part principally
inhabited, none too large in Oregon for
years and years. Every part should be
brought closer together instead Of farther
apart by public disturbers with selfish
motives. Hurrah for the Linn county Of
History.
