I Money Raised. Delegates representing sections and towns located on the west side of the river showed where all of the required money for 'the construction of the road on that side of the stream had been raised but $7,000. This bal ance they predicted could be easily raised. While not able to show that any money eo far. had been raised, the dolegates representing the east side of the river were enthusiastic, and if they entertained any doubts upon anything connected with the building of the highways, it was not on the subject of raising the money. Sentiment existed universally among the people of their section in favor of it, and the money would be forth coming. , Governor West Talks. Governor West was the first speak er of the evening.' His address was short but to the point. He pointed out the necessity of a road between Salem and Portland, and maintained that if one was constructed and made a model highway that It would serve as a stimulus to further good road work in the state of Oregon. He cared not a rap, he sajd, which route was taken whether the east or the west side, all he wanted to see done was the building of the highway, and it would please him immensely if one was built on each side of the river. When the fall came there would be plenty of convict labor for the, build ing of the road, he asserted, and it would cost the people nothing be- I yond feeding the men, and 25 cents a day for eacn man. He citea tne roads built by convicts so far, as evidence that good roads could be built by convict labor, and with but little expense. Other Speakers. Grant Dimlck favored the plan of two roads, and believed they could be built believed the people were ready for thorn. C. T. Prall, of Port land, spoke in the same optimistic vein. County Judge Bushey stated that the board of county commis sioners of Marlon county stood ready to lend as much support to this high- jway as It had to any other highway atlon's physicians ADMIRAL TOGO GETS from a gunshot wound, the shot be ing fired by Anna Langley, bis wife, while she was temporarily insane as a result of continuous intoxication and abuse on the part of her hus band." i "Oh,. Jim! my poor Jim!" was the walling cry of Anna Langley when she viewed the remains of the hus band she shot, after a long period of brutal treatment, at a local under taking parlor today. Accompanied by her father and mother, at her own request, although near collapse from the tremendous ordeal which she has been through the last few days, she wai taken to see the body of the man for whom she had sacri ficed so much before her endurance reached the limit. Father and mother stood by, si lently weeping,' ,as the unfortunate girl sobbed and cried out incoherent ly in sorrow for the tragic end of her dream of happiness. She was taken away ln an almost complete state of collapse, and Is under the constant care of a physician. Today, lying in her little white bed, weak and unstrung, but pitiful ly happy, she awaits the final hear ing before Judge Deasy on Saturday. Only her mother, her priest and the family doctor are allowed to talk to her. The hopeful spirit, the su preme nerve with which she met her long ordeal yesterday, Is gone. In stead the little girl her mother knew before she ran away with handsome Jim Langley seems to have come back. She is afraid. She does not seem to understand that she is free, because of her victory of the spirit yesterday. ' I don't know what Anna will do, when It is all over If she Is free," said the girl's mother.
