Never before in the history of the County has there been so mnch road work under way at one time.

A crew of men is now employed establishing a grade and survey on the Reedsport-Branly Bar section of the Roseburg-Reedsport road and It is expected that bids will be called for In the very near future. Sings as Death Stares at Him CHICAGO, July 28. "The bells are ringing for me and my gal " These words, hilariously sung to the tune popular a year ago, rang through the dark corridors of" Mur derers' Row" In the Crook county Jail today. The singer was Carl Wanderer, arch-murderer, scheduled to bang tomorrow, for the brutal slaying of his wife, Ruth Wanderer, and the "ragged stranger." Attired In a siiorty shirt. basgy blue trousers and comfortable car pet slippers and between snatches if song and assiduous puffs from a cigar. Wanderer gsve out "an Inter view to the press." I ara going to die loving p""-- one" he declared in a voice which he unsuccessfully tried to render calm and unemotional. "The only thing I have to say is that I hope Mrs. Johnson, the mother of dear wife Ruth, Is satisfied. 1 am inno cent of the crime. ' Then he hummed his tune and peeled an orange. ' "Now, truthfully, don't you feel a little weak kneed?" he was asked. "I should say not!" retorted Wanderer. "I faced death too many times In France as a soldier to fear to s'ep on- the gallows." The slayer was placed in the death cell at noon today. Woman Charged Assault Battery A. H. Whitley today appeared In the Justice court and procured a warrant for the arrest of Mrs, George W.

He says they were given a peclfled time in which to vacate and that they failed to leave the farm In that time.

Day ADVANCE SEAT CHAUTAUQUA ONLY TWO HUNDRED BELOW MARK SET Guarantors Are Waiting For the Be Pledged Before Signing; Contract to Bring i Entertainment For Another Year. There Is going to be some difficul ty in getting guarantors to sign for next year's Chautauqua unless there Is a better response on the advance ticket sale. In suite ot the big crowd last night the number ot tickets signed for was not larze and there are now approximately 600 pledges aigued for utl year. It requires i vo tickets lo bring the Chautau qua, this being the number whicn me guarantors are required to sign lor. Koseburg bandies the Chautauqua somewhat dldureuiiy than me ma jority ol cities. In uiauy places the Chautauqua Is so firmly established hut It Is never necessary to make an advance sale ou tickets. In Hose jurg, however, tt has been custo mary to secure the signatures ol iutticieut numbers to make up an advuuca sale of 700 tickets. , With .his as security the guarantors slgu the contract. In spue of this se curity, however,' tho guarantors have tost money. Not much, it is true jut considering the riBk they have ikUn and the work wuich devolves upon them they are hesitant about OKUiii suing on the contract. 'lucre la no doubt but that Rose burg wunls the Chautauqua. There nas never been a year but what the tent waa crowded to capacity and ihe utmost interest was shown in the pruKrams. The trouble is thai the supporters of the ChauUuqua do uot care to slgu In advance. Much ot lloseburg'a population Is ot the floating chut. People ara not cer tain whether they will be hare next year or not, consequently they delay tn securing ticket.. This makes the guarantors uncertain as to whether or not there will bo a sufficient de mand to protect them on the con tract This is an unavoidable cir cumstance which causes an uncer tainty to enter which bos a decided bearing upon the matter. The present advance sale of COO tlckots Is vory good, Dlreotor Elvln states, and should be sufficient up on which to base a contract. The fact that many people do not care to sign because of the uncertainty about their future location, is enough In Itself to Insure the protec tion of the guarantors. Those who' move away will be replaced by oth ers from outside places and conse quently the field for sale will be as big. "The greatest lack In Roseburg In organization. One or two men and women are forced to bear the brunt of the enilro work," Director Elvln wys. "You can easily count those who are the prime movers In the Chautauqua, 1. e J. E. McCUntock, II. B. Church, Mrs. Piyler. Mrs. Dll lard, and a few other public spirited persons, who In spite of the risk ihey have taken In signing the con tract and In sp:te of the money they have paid out of their own pockets, have gone out rotu bouse to house to sell tickets. "In other cities on the circuit the guarantors usually have the backing of aorie civic club. The chamber of commerce, the ad club, the Kotary club, ladles' auxiliaries of different orders, these are tho hacker the guarantors have snd for sesson af ter season the same persons have signed the contracts, without the promise of an advance sale, and with the help of these organisations have put over their seat sale with the gteatest of ease, ir some sucn organization should agree to assist In Koseburg there would be little difficulty In securing a contract. 1 anticipate no trouble in lining otil the Chautauqua for nent year for 1 have faith that the Roselmrg people will stand squarely b bind us In the I future." Yesterday was a great day at Chautauqua. In the afternoon there was a stirring community sing 'ed by Walter Jenkins. The t-nt was hot and there were many dis Price Declines WASHINGTON.

SALE FOR Full Seven Hundred Tickets to comforts, but Mr. Jenkins proved his ability as a song leader by mak ing the people forget these things snd enter heartily Into the spirit ot the service. He waa followed by father Cronln, a good humored Catholic priest with a rich, Irish brogue and a rapid-fire talker of great vocal agility. Most of his speech was devoted to denouncing and ridiculing the modern novel. In the evening was another com munity sing, which waa greatly en joyed, and this was followed by a ' slde-spllttlnc play, "Nothing But the Truth."1 This play kept the Inrge audience in a gale ot laughter from the opening until the final cur tain. The clever plot was presented in a faultless manner and the dia logue was made more humorous by the Injection ot impromptu lines. The program this afternoon con sisted of a concert by the Sam Lewis company, which will also give a Pre lude this evening prior to the lec ture "Us Americana," by Peter Clark MacFarlaae. - Carpentier to Ask Another Dempsey Fight By HENRY 1 FARRELL, (United Pr nut CorrMpeadeat.) NEW YORK. July 2. When . George Carpentier's wind came back " after Jack Dempsey had pounded all his breath out ia tho Jersey City arena, he said something ttrange for a vanquished fighter: 'Dempsey beat me, and he win heat me again the tamo way, I do not want a roturn bout" His frankness in discussing tho battle that deprived him of his life's ambition was but one of the admir able characteristics that made him almost as respected tn defeat as ha would have been honored in vto- torv. However. It has oeen learne from some of his Intimate friend hnt fhe Frenchman hat not entirely set aside the ambition to become the world's heavyweight champion. Hia 'rank statement that ha wanted no more of Dempsey la said to havo been but one of hit shrewd moves after ' the very thing he denied ha wanted. If the Frenchman wing his next bout In America, he will challenge Dempsey again. It Is understood. Ho knows he can't beat the champion now, but his advisers havo told him to wait another rear or more and that Dempsey will beat himself In be meantime. Since the flcht many of the wise men say Carpentier laid down in tho fourth round of the bout with Demnser. Not that there was any- , thing fixed or crooked about It, but that he found out he couldn't win snd when he went down the second lime, he staved down to avoid far ther punishment. His appearance on the floor of the ring and his con dition In the corner do not warrant a belief like that. The Frenchman a belief like that. The Frenchman but be hardly could have faked the look on his fic when Dempsey nicked him up off the canvas, and he hardly could have slumped, hump backed across tho ring ten minutes after the knockout unless ho had been hurt badly.
