DRAW DECISION ON MAIN BOUT Al Beyers, a heavier opponent, was substituted for Kid Rocco, who was unable to appear in the main bout at the Arca.de last night. His extra weight and agresslvenesa began to show on his lighter oppo nent long before the tenth. Sammy Gordon's speed, however, kept him out of danger and he came back strong In the last round getting draw decision. The contest between Franklf Webb, of Portland and Bud Stevens of Enterprise, was full of action and fino work on the' part of both. Stevens' long .experience in boxinf showed his superiority over Webb and ho was given the decision in the eighth. The preliminaries opened with a three round bout between Milton i..' i l'rlco and Carl Stacklund. It was tailed a draw. Jack Clayton, a former Boiso middleweight, now located at Hot Lake, gave satisfaction as the ref eree. Eddie Ford's orchestra fur nished music during the evening.

The war Intorruntod tho paiupaitu started sovorul, years ago with the object of providing a pic turesque mountuln puluce wlioro Presidents of tho United States might find refugo during the warm months. The building, It la estimated, would require an Initial expendiluru of 150,000 and loaders of tho cam paign plan to raise (250,000 addi tional to complete tho cntlro struc ture and put tho grounds In shapo. The summor homo would be held In trust by tho governor of tho 22 states west of the Mississippi river, acting as a board of rogents. fered for $600. When It was assurrcd that tho paved road was coming tn Island City the property sold for $1000 and tho owner was offored $2000 for It last week. Reason 2 A resldenco was bought about elghluen months ugo for (1200 und sold last week for (2500. Reason 3 A residence Bold eigh teen months ago for (750 was pur chased this summer for (1000 ami owner now refuses (1500 for same.

I think these reasons should show any fair minded persons that It wan to the Interest of the community to huvo paved roads. What applies to . Island City applies to every other town In Union county as ull the towns are roached by the pavement. In summing tip the matter, .11 seems to me, t hiit It is simply n quexllon of whether we want to ,llvo In the past, and adopt tho manner pursued by our forefathers or whether we shall live In tho present progressive ugo and mcet-clrcum- slani'H as I hey co From ii lliiilnesn Standpoint There has been some argument attempted to be raised against the Issii.inro of bonds or going Into debt for rnad building or any other proposition.
