the position. A petition was also
presented to the court praying for
the opening of a new road between
this city and Philomath.

broke, Tuesday, and traffic was de-
layed for an hour or go. 1t is

be on hand at time when things
are not in running order for an
hour or two. On this occasion
there were a large number of vehi-
cles on each bank awaiting the fer
ryman.
