A party of surveyors have been at work out of Sale mfor a number of days and are now at the edge of town preparing to continue their way through Stayton. "The surveyors are in charge of a gentleman by the name of Mounce and have' made rapid progress wth their work since starting from Salem.

The route as laid out by the surveyors will be from Salem to West Stay- ton and on up to Stayton, and will not pass through Turner as reported last week. "Mr. Mounce states positively that the road will be constructed and that possibly work, may be commenced in side of sixty days. If it was possible to work through the winter he says it could be easily constructed by next "He will be financially interested in the line be is preparing to build now. and powerful interests and plenty of capital will be interested with him in the project "They have applied to the city for a franchise through Stayton and have arranged for practically all the right- of-way up to here.

They ask no cash bonus for building the road, and want simply the right-of-way. This they have had no difficulty in securing, as every farmer realizes that an electric road running through his farm will enhance the value considerable. ''Stayton has bad -several- railroad propositions come up in the past, and they all failed to materialize, but from all indications' and the manner in which these people are going about the proposition, with as little publicity as possible, it looks as though Stay-ton had better chances of securing a railroad than it ever had in the past."

Woman Thrown from Horse and Leg Is Broken. FARMER BOY FALLS AND HIS NOSE IS BROKEN John Kiphart Severely Kicked by a Colt While Chopping Down Tree Hershel Shreve Cuts Knee B.W. Munkers Cuts Hand on Saw. This week's Stayton Mail contains the following list of minor, accidents: Mrs. A.

J. Freeman, a resident of Fox Valley, is confined to her, home from the effects of a broken limb. She was riding a horse last Friday and was thrown off. Mrs. Freeman is a good horsewoman and had done considerable- riding.

She saddled her horse and was well started on a trip to one of the neighbors when the horse commenced bucking. She clung to the saddle some Utile time, but in such a manner that both the bones in her right limb were broken just above the ankle. The fracture was a severe one and the broken' bones pro-, traded through the flesh. A dislocation of the ankle also resulted from the force of the fall. The six-year-old boy of Mr.

and Mrs. E. C. Downing, of the Waldo Hills, met with a very painful acci dent Tuesday. The little fellow was playing on a box and fell off striking his nose on the edge of another box.

The bones in his nose were broken, and the little boy suffered intense pain. He was brought to town and Dr. Brewer attended the injury. Hershel Shreve encountered a little bad luck Saturday morning. -He went over the river and chopped down few trees and was trimming tehm for use as electrib light poles.

In swinging the ax he struck the tree a glancing blow and the blade entered his left leg just above the ankle. C. A. Beauchamp dressed the wound and while the cut was a rather severe one it is healing nicely. John Kiphart, who resides about five miles southeast in Linn county, came in contact with a colt's hooff last Saturday and is nursing a badly bruised knee.

He came to Stayton Monday and Dr. Beauchamp exaimned the knee and found it necessary to lance the bruise and draw off considerable clotted blood. The force of the kick struck on the knee cap, and there is a possibility that it is injured in such a manner that he will have a stiff leg. B. W.

Munkers, who resides a couple of mites west of town, had his right hand badly cut by a cross-cut wood saw. He was sawing up some timber and the saw slipped and struck over the back of his hand. A very deep cut was inflicted and the muscles and leaders in the hand were severed. Dr. Brewer in dressing the wound found it necessary to take several stitches.
