RAISING THREE THOUSAND.
For Bettering a Benton Road-Ten
Mills Tax and Contributions
Besides.


A great effort is to be made this
spring by the people of Alsea to
improve the road over the noun
tain from that valley to Corvallis.
For long years it has been one of
the most unfortunate conditions in
Benton county. It gets to the
point where it is almost impossible
in winter time. On the mountain
it is largely through soft soil and
wooded stretches so that teams at
places sink knee deep and wagon
hub deep in the mire. making the
passage of loads almost impossible.
Effort for a permanent road that
will permit the transportation of
freight in and out Of the region in
winter time is the plan of the people
residing in the valley.
In forwarding the plan, the two
districts in the valley have taxed
themselves to the amount of about
$2 900 that will be available for the
purpose. One district has made
special levy of 10 mills. In addi-
ton ten citizens are contributing
$25 each and several other clubs
of 10 or 20 are contributing in
generous measure, It is probable
that the total will reach $4,000 or
more.
The enthusiasm for the bettered
road is inspired largely by great
activity in dairying that has re-
Gently appeared in the valley. The
place is most favorably located for
the industry. Grass and range
with a fertility of soil that make
the production of feed easy are
factors that give great advantage to
the Alsea farmers in dairying with
the result that all who engage in it
are making money. The one draw
back is the transportation problem.
If it can be removed, Alsea will be-
come one of the most thrifty dis
tricts in the county. The people
recognize that by great effort the
road may be in large part made
passable for the transport of their
cream to Corvallis in the winter
time. and that is why the present
activity is on.
The movement is one in which
the people of the locality deserve
encours cement and assistance. The
road to the valley is part of Ben
ton county. 1t serves large and
energetic population. 1t is business
| for the county and all the people in
it for the handicap to be removed.
It is to the interest of Corvallis
merchants and artisans to have it
removed. 1t is the business of the
county court to help remove it,
and that body should in the present
case assist with generous hand.
Whether or not the people of Al
sea will ask the court for assistance
the TIMES does not know. What
it does know is that they should do
SO, and the court should assist.
When small body of people like
the Alseans raise So, 900 CT more
to build road to connect them
with the rest Of Benton county,
they show by their works that they
deserve and that that they should
receive public assistance.
