Itepresentutlvea from various organ-' nations through the county appeared before thn county court Friday nmrii lug and asked Hint the bond Issue mat ter bn submitted to the people. They fell that thn question or good roads la an Important one In the county and thut Immediate action was necessary to get It presented In time for actual work In the spring, should the people approve thn plun. Cost Too Much. The court believed, however, that the ex pen so of thn election would be $:tooo and that the mutter could aa well be auluultted at the rexulur prl mury election when the people have to go to the polls at any rale. It also ngureti that work could atart on the highway a this year If the people vole the bonds. If the court docs all of the preliminary work on the assumption that tho bonds will carry and haa ev erything In condition to atart the ma chinery in motion Just the minute that tlio election la over, it la probable that something definite can yet be accom plished during tho year. The plan Includea the Issuance of fooo.ooo worth of bunds on the assena ed valuation of the county at $;i0,0oo,- ooo. witn thla money, one hundred mllea of hard surfaced roada would be built through the county, touching all of the moat populous sectlona and hit ting those points that would tap all of the territory around them. To the,) trunks, would later be built feeds that would bring the wagon to the farmer from hla front gate to the main line and thence through to mar ket. Talk With Court. Thla la the scheme that the workers for good roads In the county present ed to the court. The question of ex pense and the belief that an immedi ate election was not necessary pre- Milled the issuance of the call for thr special election. The court does no' plan for the construction of any per manent highways In the county this year, although It proposes to make such repairs as It Is culled upon to do In a way that will last, it has decided that the construction of temporary re pulra muat be a thing of the past and thut all work that the county does hereafter muat be done In a way thut will eland. The available funds at the disposal of the court this year will bo morel than KM 1. 000. In additon, there are! special taxes levied by 2S out of tho 5" districts. This will muko a total spent on roads through the county or .iik,5IiO, not a cent of which goes In to permanent highways. I I EQUI'S ARMY MARCHES ON THE TOWN AND ASKS MAYOR TO PROVIDE FOR IT PASS CHRISTIAN, Mist.. Jan. 12.- After nearly three weeka of rest and recreation, President Wilson bade BRILLIANT SCHEME BREWED BY WELDON ORVAL READ Aged five yeara, aon of Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Read.

Mobs, well known Democratic politician, today sent an appeal to Governor Lister for protection and announced that she and her family would return to their home as soon aa ahe received assurances from the authorities that she would not be molested. According to the arcyint told by Mrs. Koss, the 16 men, all maksed and armed, forced their way Into the house, removed her and her two suns and after setting fire to the place drove them 12 mllea and ordered them not to return under penalty of death. The trouble began some time ago, when Mrs. Kims' right to the claim was denied. Her two sons were tbeu accused of assaulting a neighbor for alleged slander on their mother, leav ing him for dead on the road. They were tried and convicted on an assault charge, but succeeded In getting a new trial. A bitter fued In the neighbor hood resulted. REQUEST IS AT ONCE CRANTED Company Given Lodging In Armory for Night and Two Meals Ara Furnished by the Chief of Police I-ad by a woman, Dr. Mary Equl of Portland fame, an army of unemployed marched Into thn city Thursday morn ing and asked Mayor Linn K. Jonea for a place to sleep and something to eat. The a my marched through the streets of the city In double file after having walked all of the way from Portland alnce morning. An advance agent was sent to confer with tho mayor and to suggest to the city's chief that the force that waa coming had had nothing to eat and wanted a place to spend the night. The mayor instructed the chief of police to lodgo it in the Armory and to furnish sup per and breakfast afterwards the members will be on their way rejolc Ing to the state capita! where they plan to talk to Governor West about the industrial conditions of the state. Attired In hla customary red sweater, the mayor stood on the aide- walk In front of hla store and told the hungry arowd that It would be fed for the night and lodged in comfortable quarters. The announcement was greeted with cheers and the mayor was promptly thanked by the gather ing and Ed Shaw, chief of police, at once assumed an interest in the doings of the army. He was Instructed to al low the men to have a street meeting under certain restrictions and was told to place them all in the Armory and to account for every one of them before the doors were closed for the night and the guard placed on duty. The mayor believed that hla actiou waa the easiest way out of the diffi culty and that the crowd ought to be given provision that it had asked as long as no serious results came out of it. Hut he did not propose to have any of the members wandering about on the streets at night unless the chief of police knew what they were doing.

WAR DEPARTMENT GRANT'S THE RIGHT TO BUILD A NEW WHARF FOR SHIPS TO COST THOUSANDS Of DOLLARS Haa Big Plans For Structure Along Entire Block on Water Street Where His Store Now Stands A dock, 163 feet by 310 feet, extend ing along the waterfront from Eleventh to Twelfth street.

Mr. Ilusch received u permit from the war department at vtastilngton Thursday to extend the proposed dock past bis property lino and into the river bo that ships could tie up at the wharf without making a new channel necessary.

In case the Clackamas Portland & Oregon City Railway coro- paniea are graniea a rranchlse along Water street, side tracks will prob- auiy ds diiiii so mat cars can be un loaded and loaded. The cost of the new building has not been determined although It will probably run well up In the thousands. Work will be started aa soon aa the water becomes low enough to permit and the dock will be ruahed to completion.

During the preliminary hearing and afterwards, in the circuit court, the testimony was to the effect that the whole affair had been framed and that the robbery waa a "fake" from start to finish.

WILL IS FILED The estate of Casper Marugg was filed In the probate court Saturday by F. S. Wllhelm, the administrator. The estimated value of the property is 11020. He left Sllverton a week ara Monday. The following Thursday he was seen In the swamp by a passerby. He was still alive, but ao chilled and weak ened that he could give no lucid ac count of himself or of how he came to be in such a predicament The pedestrian tried to get him out of the mud, but could not do so alone. He went for help and when he returned Seism was dead. When the body was extricated pa pers on the person revealed bis Iden tity and relatives here were notified. Cah amounting to $36.50 was found in Seism's clothes, besides two drafts for $100 each. The only explanation of Seism's fate effered here Is that he became tem porarily deranged, wandered away and did not realize hla whereabouts. He was 78 years old. Seism la survived by his wife, who lives at the family home near this city, and two aona John and Robert, both of Sllverton, besides the chil dren in the south. Ministers Only Prohis On County Registration Books Two prohibitionists, both ministers, and one Socialist have registered in the office of the county clerk, Will L. Mulvey. this year. The registration has not been as part In holding up the franchises and heavy as the clerk bad hoped at this : had much to do with the determination At the meeting of the city council on Wednesday night the changes were made In the franchises that wero suggested by the mayor when he re fused to sign the ordinances and the council at once adopted the sugges tions that he made. The franchises as they have now reached their first reading provide for the transfer of passengers on tha payment of one fare from one road to the other through the city and also in a more stringent way safeguards the Interests of the city in the matter of public docks.
