A WIDE AWAKE HUSTLING COM.
MUNITY THAT PURPOSES
HELPING ITSELF AND HAS
PLENTY OF MONEY FOR GOOD
ROADS.

A great deal of. enthusiasm Is being
developed for the construction of a
first-class macadamized highway from
Salem to st. Paul, to meet a similar
highway across the river to Newberg.
Single land owners will contribute
$4,000 toward building the road, and
with the use of fast motor trucks to
haul perishable freight into market
at high rate on speed, the whole
transportation system is geing to be
revolutionized and the first commun-
tiles that supply themselves with mod
ern highways will get the benefit. A
prominent st. Paul land owner was
seen by Journal reporter today and
said:
st. Paul Booster Talks.
81 notice in yesterdays issue an
item in which 1t is stated that a mon
ster booster meeting was held at New
berg last night august 30), looking
to the construction of steel bridge
across the Willamette river at that
place, and the building of a macad-
amized road from that point to Salem.
Now this is an error, as no such meet
ing was held at Newberg at the time
stated. On August last such a meet
ing was held at Newberg, and was
participated in by many of the prom
inent residents of St. Paul and sur
rounding country, as we'll as by the
citizens of Newberg.
"Now the meeting you referred to
in this item was held at St. Paul and
If you do not think st. Paul is live
wire, you should have been at that
meeting and have a representative Of
your paper go down there and see for
yourselves just what sort of coun-
try this town is the center of.
"Be 1t remembered that st. Paul
Oregon, is on the map, as we'll as st
Paul, Mimi, and while the latter has
! grown to be one of the chief cities oi
the country, you must remember II
was born a good while ago, and al
one time in its growth was no larger

bryo namesake here in the north enc
of Marion county. st. Paul, Oregon
is located about 20 miles north o
Salem, about one mile east of thu
| Willamette river and about sever
miles west of the Oregon Electric rail
way, and is the natural trading cen
