By decision of the supreme court
just rendered in the state vs. the city Of
Aberdeen, the city will have to pay the
full 10 per cent. of liquor licenses COL
lected since 1888. This will equal $4,000,
making in all $4,000. The $4,000, the city
supposed was outlawed, but the last
legislature passed an act to exempt the
state from losing any part OF the claim.
The city raised the question OF the legis-
lature having the right to pass such an
act. under the question OF vested rights,
and it was sustained in its contention
by the superior court. The supreme
court found in favor OF the state and
stated that the legislative had the right
in the state of the case.

AN lMPASSABlE ROAD.
JuStifiabIe Kick from Linn
County Residents.

! The citizens of that part o
Linn county living on and using
the road leading from Corvallis
Ferry to albany, held a mass
meeting at the Dixie school house
last week. Mr.. Applegate was
chosen chairman of the meeting,
and Ed. Caldwell, secretary.
The object of the meeting was to
decide upon some plan for
getting the road put in order.
The road in question is the South
ern two miles Of the main road
from Corvallis to Albany: There
are several places on this road
where, by reason of holes and
quicksands, the highway is utter
ly impossible. This condition
of affairs occurs every winter and
the residents in that locality are
getting discouraged. 1t belongs
to Linn county to keep this road
in repair, and the residents want
to know why they do not do their
duty in the premises.
The mail stage of Vidito Bros.
tried to make the trip over this
road, but found it impossible,
and were obliged to return to Cor
wallis, and make the run over the
West side road, which is some
two miles longer. 1t was claim
ed by some of the people at the
meeting, that the fact that a good
road here would allow more people
to go to Corvallis to obtain their
in preference to Albany.
This may not be factor, but
there are many who believe it.
These people also state that the
Benton county authorities keep
their road, which runs on the
west side of the river to Albany
bridge, in good repair at all times
and that Benton county people
who live much nearer Albany
than Corvallis, do most of their
trading in. the former city. No
work has been done on this road
of any consequence for several
years, and it is certainly time to
make a beginning.
