Much read work has been in pro-
gress this spring, and it is generally
of a permanent character. The plan
is to make high grade and settle it
with heavy roller. Out>on the state
road north of the Buttes, traction
engine was employed for time on
the grader and the roller, and its SER
vice was most satisfactory until it was
placed on the loose. grade. It was
found that here the drive wheels
would turn on a heavy pull. Other
minor objections induced the work
men to finally substitute horses. Long
stretches of fine grading and rolling
has been done on the Philomath road,
and on other highways leading to
town a vast amount of similar work
has been done.
Two parties of Corvallis people
climbed Mary's Peak Sunday. The
day was an ideal one, being so clear
that Mount Adams, away in Washing

but the trail is clear and in good con
dition. LuTa and Leon Flett and Al
ice and Jimmie Jones comprised one
party. They are on the juvenile or
der, and the fact that a bear-chase
was in progress Ia the vicinity Of the
trail at the time Of the ascent, render
ed the trip doubly interesting to them.
Guy Frink and one Of the Allen boys,
with dogs was In pursuit OF the bcar,
but the animal finally escaped by a

also entertaining the Rock creek trout
with fair success. and altogether there
was quite lively time about the Peak
on last Sunday.
