Oskaloosa, Nov. 27.-The demand

proposed to oil the road from New,

from Oskaloosa to Cedar, connecting
with the piece already oiled into Free

been formulated but public sentiment
generally Is favorable to the project
and it is believed it will go through.
The experiment Of oil on the road
between Cedar and Fremont and on
the streets Of New Sharon and Free

up, but he expects to be UP in short
