Thou go not, like the quarry slave at

Sustained and 500 he'd, By an unfault-

siletz river, fishing, picnicing and
gathering the wild black berry. This
is the finest favored and best black
berry that grows and the logan berry

the gorge at the Upper Farm is about
80 miles along the river as the road
runs. Along the river there are eddys
and rifles where the festive trout may
be caught. What fun and pleasure to
be in the wild woods, to breathe the
fragrant air loaded with he aroma
and balsm of ten thousand trees that
gives life, health and vigor to all who
breath it..
The road from here to Toledo and
Newport Is in fine condition and it
Is a pleasure 20 travel them. The
men who have charge of the road
work are getting on fine. Where you
have good men on the public works
stay with them. It don't pay to be
changing men all the time. One
trained man that knows how 20 work
his job is worth four that don't know.
That tough piece Of road between
Eucher Mountain and Stemples land
ing will be fixed this summer. All
along the river are gravel beds tha.
can be easily gotten to to put gravel
on the road and 1t is handy for the
trucks to haul 1t to the road The men
who are doing this work are trained
now and let them handle 1t.
The hay and oat crops are heavy this
year and every body will have plenty
of feed.
