G raphic NEWBERG, YAMHILL COUNTY, OREGON. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY MASTER PLAYER-PIANIST COM- ING NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT An Outline of Some o f The Proposi tions That a n Down On ïfcper. Editor Graphic: Newberg people hare remained neutral in the matter of locating Capital Highway from 'Salem south of LaFayette, but In the north and northeast end of the county they are active In promoting the early con struction of the "Ewing Toung High way," or "The Chehalem Valley Highway," whichever name may be adopted by the "naming committee" of the Joint committee on roads and highways of the legislature. Marlon county has already avail able 9130,000 in bonds for their portion from Woodburn through St. Paul to Newberg, and from Newberg through Chehalem valley to Yamhill the survey has been made and the route and grade established by the State Highway engineers and most of the grading lias been done. The paving of this 25 miles will result in three "loops" out of Port land: one of 00 miles; 'one of 70 miles and one of 100 miles, so that a truck can start out loaded with mill feed and provisions for the farm ers and come back to Portland load ed with milk, cream and pork, while the Joy rider and tourist can take a spin up the valley one way and re turn to Portland another without retracing. I f It shall be decided to locate a state highway from Salem south to LaTayette, then Newberg, Yamhill Chehalem - and Gaston road boosters may Insist that it be extended on north in a straight line through the west end of Chehalem valley to con nect with the Wapato-Gaaton market road now under construction. Inter secting the loop highway at No. 61 school-house and already the Gaston road boosters and the west end of Washington county are behind the project south to Salem. It is generally believed that the Highway Commission will Insist that their policy of "concentrating in large units" the improvements under the market road act, shall be more stricly adhered to hereafter, for they say in their general regulations that "the market road act does not con template the expenditure of funds for haphazard and disconnected im provements." Another road of consequence starts north from Chehalem church and taps over “ Ribbon Ridge," a wealth of prune and walnut produce as well as a rich dairy region. Some advo cate a new road north from No. 10 shcool-house, which is about half a mile north of the Valley Highway. There are two bills in the hands of a committeeman at Salem which are companion bills designed to pro mote the building of farmers’ roads. The one doubles the state market road tax, and the other puts Into the bands of the Highway Commission 15.000,006 in bonds to be used ex clusively in co-operation with coun ties on a 60-50 or other percentage basis in building lateral and market roads as feeders. P in t there was a six million, then a ten million, and then another ten million dollar bond issue, and tbe farmers each time were told to wait, and they have waited for a smell of state rohd funds. Only nine million in bonds, with in the limit of the constitution, can still be available and It Is now or never for farmers. There Is qo disposition to retard the rapid completion of the main ar teries and the simultaneous construc tion of laterals, under this measure will unite the two schools of finan ciers; those who advocate tbe "pay as you go” idea and these who ad vocate bonds. The bonds of the state will match the taxes of the counties. It is pleasing to observe, that in Yamhill county there has grown up a sort of "Freemasonry" of good roads boosters. Instead of fighting all roads except one’s o#n, they help each other and are apt to "Jump on" any community that tries to steal tbe results of others' labor. This Is exemplified In the favorable at titude of McMinnville and Senator Vinton, toward their ancient enemy, the LaFayette road, and here it may be noted that Mr. Vinton has recently much strengthened his position,, not only In Yamhill county, but In the Senate as well, where his Influence will reach far to aid the entire Yam- The music loving eftj^ens of New berg will be pleased to learn that t£ey will have an opportunity of at tending a “ Public Lecture Recital." at Wood-Mar Hall, on next Thursday evening, by John Martin, univers ally acknowledged to be the world’s greatest player-pianist, whose won derful demonstrations in many of the largest cities of the United States, have always elicited the wildest en thusiasm and the very highest com mendation o f musical authorities, and the most flattering and unquali fied endorsement of the public press. Mr. Martin Is an artist, of unique talent, highly developed, who has originated the method, which , Is knouen as the "Martin method" and which has Justly earned for him the title of “ Master Player-plan 1st of the world." It should, however, be borne in mind that Mr. Martin is not a player "stunts" artist, whose recitals are sensational or freakish. At Mt. Vernon. Illinois, where Mr. Martin recently gave a recital, he concluded his program, dismissed the audience, and retired from the stage, but the audience refused to leave un til he came back, and by request played a few pieces, thanked his au dience for the Interest manifested, and again dismissed them, and again tbe crowd refused to be dismissed and Mr. Martin was compelled to come back the third time, and de monstrate his phenomenal akill, and even then he could only gain their consent to leave when he announced the he was scheduled to leave on a train due in a few minutes, and a host of his admirers saw him aboard bis train, and expressed their regrets that he was unable to tarry with them longer. At Grand Rapids, Michigan, 300 seats were provided for the expected audience, but Mr. Martin’s fame had preceded him. and the seats were soon filled, 200 chairs were brought In and again it was but a short time until there was standing room only, and soon not even that, and more than 500 people went away sadly dlsapointed because they could not effect an entrance into the audito rium, wbere tbe people were packed like sardines— in layers. The vast audience was completely carried away by the happy effort of the artist master, and their sur prise at the rendition of classical numbers by the Martin method was equaled only by their delight, which they were not slow to express by con tinued applause. The opportunity to hear such a master does not often present itself and all should avail themselves of the promised treat, and enjoy an evening of instructive and pleasing entertainment which has been se cured for them through! the efforts of Klenle A Sons. Admission will be free and all will be welcomed. FRAUD SOLICITORS THE MAKING OF WILLS URGED Last Friday two glib-tongued fel lows blew into Newberg and pro ceeded to harvest tbe coin of the realm without first having complied with the city ordinance which pro By W.

The remain -------- > OBITUARY der and all ai the real estate except the widow’s dower would go to the children. The net result of such a situation would be that the widow would face the world alone with $250 in cash and practically little else. The widow’s dower rights in the usual case would have little mone tary value The children, being min ors, would be powerless to convey any portion of tbe real estate. Only their guardian would bave such power, and then only after a license to sell had been granted by the pro bate court upon a showing that all of the funds of the children had been exhausted, and that it was necessary to sell real estate for the children’s maintenance and support, or for the purpose of paying tbe children’s debts (1920 laws, sections 1327, 1346). And even If the real estate, after such a proceeding, should be sold the moneys derived could only be used to support the children; none of It could legally be used for the widow's maintenance, and at least an annual accounting would have to be made to the court.
