as to make travel intensely disagreeable, !
if no. dangerous. TIL. road is easily |
kept in condition and the business men
Of Corvallis owe it TO themselves to see
that it is put in good condition. One
hundred dollars would Ak the bad places
and bring $1,000 in trade to town.

politics. We do not want Offices and it
is more than probable that we will have
an opportunity to vote for ticket that
IS sati tisfactory to ourselves, and one, by
he Aay, that is almost certain to be
elected. TEe Times need not worry
about us. We are inclined to believe
hat we can dispense with the services of
a political mentor, especially one that is
