Mt. Angel, or, May 1.-The first
paving to be done in this part of the
county by the crew operating the
plant in this city will be north from
here on the Woodburn road. Rock
has been hauled on the road as far
north as the Grassy Pond school house
and it is believed that work of paving
will begin soon. Following this strip
of road work the crew will build
hard surface road out from Mt. Angel
on the SCOTS Mills road and then pave
the Silverton-Salem road from the
Pudding river bridge to Silveton. 9th
roads in the vicinity of Mt. Angel
and Silverton are being improved and
it is predicted that more permanent

than ever before.

Since 1916, when Mr.. Maris was

itself many times over, in the opinion
OF farmer who have been free in their

counties in 1919 alone, while 1910
farmers Joined in automobile exsul-
sions to see demonstrations and inves-
tlgate promising projects. Hundreds
