Striving to Make Banner Road-in
Benton-Farmers are Doing it.

] The prospect is that the banner
road in Benton County next winter
will be stretch of several miles on
the Albany route, northeast of Cor.
wallis. The residents in that sec.
tion have taken. the matter in their
own hands, and are building what
lis destined to be permanent high
way. The stretch begins at Stew
farts bridge and extends as far north.
ward as the Schon farm. Every
farmer along the line has put teams
land men on the work, and through
tout the distance. the road is being
completely rebuilt.
The plan comprises a double grad
ing. After the FIRST grade is COM
pleted the heavy county roller is put
on and the dirt is packed as
FIRMLY as eight or ten tons weight
repeatedly passing over can press
| it. Then after ploughing along
the sides second grading is resor-
| ted to, and the roller set to work
again.
To complete the system scientific
drainage is provided for, with
bitches on each side, the levels of
which, are established by the coun-
ty surveyor, who was out on the
line yesterday with his instruments.
Whenever necessary, clllverts,
under the road draining one ditch
into the other, are provided for.
The south ends of the drainage
bitches empty into the stream at
the bridge, and furthur north, the
drainage goes in an opposite di-
rection, and is finally carried away
from the road through a waste.
ditch constructed for the purpose.
No attempt will be made to gravel
the new road this season. ...s- S
The new bridge and the reduct-E
ion Of the grade at Stewart's hill
adds materially to the new stretch
of road, The grade at the point IS
scarcely one-half what it formerly
was. On the same road, some dis.
tance this side of Stewards bridge.
the county is preparing TO build a
considerable stretch of permanent
road. The latter is to BE- + about a
quarter of a mile in length, and
when all is completed there is no
doubt, unless other communities are
seized with a desire for best roads,
the Corvallis end of the Albany
road will be by far, the best high
way in the county. '.' 8. :.

LY DAMAGED.

| Norfolk, Va, Dec. 5.-The naval tug
Peoria, towing. the submarine boat
Adder, has arrived at the navy yard.
The Adder was saved by the heroism
of Boatswain Deery, who responded. to
a call for volunteers and swan 100
yards with line to the Adder, from
him. The Moccasin is ashore at Cur
rituck and appears to be only slightly
damaged. The Adder is leaking badly.
When Boatswain Deery responded
to the call for volunteer to swim to
the Adder a thirty.four-mile gale was
blowing and mountainous seas were
crashing over the Peoria, burying the
drifting submarine boats beneath tons
of water. Deery, with slender line
fastened around his waist, plunged
into the ocean and battled with wind
and tide for full hundred yards, final
]y reaching the Adder and gaining her
deck. There he hauled a thick hawser
aboard by means of the life line and
made it fast At this time the Adder

in such a manner as to make it almost
impossible to retain position on her
scanty decking, but Deery held on and
accomplished his work Then he went
back to the tug hand over hand on the
hawser
1t was said at the navy yard that
Boatswain Deery will be commended
at once to the president for bravery.
The Adder is leaking and her electri.
cal machinery is damaged.
Lieut.. English, commanding officer
of the Peoria, says the little boats
towed we'll until they were off the Vir-
GINA capes. There the heavy seas
proved too much for the frail towing

first, following the tug They snapped
short and the two submarine vessels
went adrift. The Peoria sought to

were only the broken bits on which to
get hold, so the tug could only run
in between them and keep them
From Dumping Together.
The seas were running entirely too
high, the lieutenant said, for the tug
to run alongside the boats. and it
would have been suicidal to lower a
boat All the Peoria could do. there

Wednesday night this contin Ied and
then the line between the boats

1t was then that Boatswain Deery,
who comes from Brooklyn, performed
his act in last attempt to save the
boats After he had made fast his

that it would be impossible to anchor
her. The tug, il was found, could
handle only one of the boats in the

the Moccasin was left to her, while
the Peoria fought her way up the coast
with the Adder. Great seas swept her
bows all night and she had hard time

toward recovery. The Preussiche Cor

doing as well as could be wished. The

Another paper lately started the
question of the appointment of re-

the paper knocked down this self

the question was mooted by a journal
which is regarded as being inspired
by Chancellor Won Buelow caused
somewhat of sensation.
