OCR ROADS AND STskETs.-Mr. Beatty
the Salem Journal hicyciist recently IN
the city, gives the following interesting
road and street item: Il met one OF the
road supervisors OF the distric, sou ;h OF
Albany who is xide-A-wake dairyman
and fruit farmer, and has been road SUI
peryisoT out there eight years. You
don't see any OF the house roof grades in
his district and he uses the high places
TO fill up the bellows and the read is a
daisy. He SAYS the horses are as much
entitled to a level road as the locomotive,
and he proposes TO make them as near
that style as possible. He IS 4 German
and uses tile 10 drain his land and knows
that it don't take a IS per cent grade 10
| make water run OF the road. / hope
/ Mr.. Peters will be continued as super
visor for eight years more. May his
/ tribe increase. The streets Of Albany
are not as good as the average county
read. Simply q succession Of holes aud
humps in the gravel. They do no, need
TO pass an ordinance against fast driving
because the man who drives fast here is
I likely to go TO the hospital and the buggy
or other vehicle TO the shop. This is the
state OF most OF the streets. There are a
few pretty COOL ones or rather with good
places in them.

daughter over 10 the Bay. charging that
she had been enticed away by Mrs Fred
Baker, of this city. ami calling in the as
sistance Of Sheriff Lands 10 ge. her. A
version Of the affair gwen the DEMOCRAT
is entirely creditabie TO Mrs. Il ker in con
nection with the affair. She hired tie
girl TO work for her either going 10 The
Bav or remaining with Mrs. Baker $
Incther, giving her the same wages she
had received in the restaurant. and as her
son bad obtained good position she hired
a young man to drive them oTer, They
