VOTERS TO DECIDE MAY 15
Comparison or Clatsop and Columbia
Situations to Present Ono Is
Taken to Indicate That
Victory Is Probable.
BY ADDJSON BENNETT.
SALEM. Or., May 5 .(Staff Corre
spondence.) On the 15th of this month,
a week from next Saturday, the voters
of Marion County will make known by
their ballots where they stand on the
road question, for on that day they will
pass upon a proposition to issue bonds
to the amount of $850,000 for the pur
pose of building permanent roads.
Beginning yesterday the advocates of
this bond issue, the believers in that way
of getting at least a start on a system of
highways commensurate with the intel
ligence and prosperity of the people of
Marion, began a campaign which will
give every voter in the county an op
portunity to hear from good speakers
what the bonding: proposition really
means. The good roads advqcates have
been fortunate enough to place the
campaign in the hands of John H. Scott,
who for eight years, from 1900 until
1908. was the County Judge of this
county, and it is a matter of truth and
justice to say that never in the State
of Oregon was there a fairer or more
conscientious county official than John
II. Scott.
And. which is more to the point, the
people of Marion admit that. They
will tell you that Mr. Scott never
handled a dirty dollar in his life; that
not a single penny ever stuck to his
fingers that did not honestly belong to
him. They will go beyond that and tell
you that John H. Scott for many years
was the most persistent "road crank"
there was in Oregon- The first good
roads conventions ever held in the state
were held under the auspices of Mr.
Scott and Major Thielsen. both of this
cify. end they and their associates
were the staunch advocates of good
road bills before the Legislature for a
number of years.
Manx Meetings Planned.
I say this much to show how fortu
nate the advocates of good roads were
to have Mr. Scott in charge of what Is
to be a whirlwind campaign, running
until the night before election. From
four to six meetings will be held every
evening, and every village, every ham
let, every town . and city end nearly
every schoolhouse will house one or
more meetings.
And as was the case in Clatsop and
Columbia counties, all it will take to
carry the bonds will be meetings
enough to generally reach the voters.
In both of those counties there was a
sentiment when the question was first
presented that was overwhelmingly
against the issue. I well remember that
both campaigns were closed and the
speakers returned to their homes dis
heartened, whipped and beaten. But
what happened? Why, the voters in
both counties give a handsome majority
for the bonds.
It now looks far more favorable in
Marion than.it did in Clatsop or Co
lumbia, far. far more. In the two days
I have been here I have talked with a
great many voters and have found the
enthusiasts strong in argument and
belief; while the opponents are luke
warm" and liable to flop over and vote
for the bonds. So I expect to see
Marion set herself down on the side of
good roads and real progress.
I had the rare good fortune last
night to attend a meeting about five
miles south of 6alem,,at a schoolhouse
on the Liberty road. I say in a school
house. It was a. schoolhouse until
prosperity overran it. Then a fine
four-room structure was erected and
the old building moved to an adjacent
site and turned Into a hall for the use
of the district. In the same structure
Mr. Scott addressed the first good
roads meeting held in Marion outside
of Salem.
Promise Carried Out.
When it was held, nearly 10 years
ago, he had to travel out to the meet
ing over that which was a road only in
name. Mr. Scott promised if the voters
would stand by him he would give
them a good road; and he did. It is
pretty well run down now, and under
the new law $55,000 is to be expended
upon it: but we went over Jt last night
in Mr. Scott's machine at a good clip
in ease and comfort. The voters ought
to remember that, and they will.
The hall was well filled, and I want
to say that I never saw a more intelll
sent audience. They were inquisitive,
they asked questions, real questions.
Tliey did not quibble and pettifog. They
wanted to learn and listened intently
to all that was said to them. So, judg
ing from that meeting, from the
warmth with which Mr. Scott was re
ceived and the belief which seemed
apparent in the eyes of his audience in
his arguments and statements, it looks
like the people of Marion will achieve
a handsome victory at the polls.

RABIES SAID TO BE EPIDEMIC IN
LOWER BURNT RIVER.
Infuriated Animals, Met la Canysaa.

BAKER, Or.. May 5. (Special.)
Reports of hydrophobia among cattle
on Lower Burnt River, more serious
than any -which have yet been re
ceived, were brought here today by
Elton Sisley, a rancher near Weather
by, who says that in the last few
days farmers have been forced to de
stroy 18 cattle Infected with rabies.
So serious is the condition, Mr. Sis
ley said, that those driving through
the Lower Burnt River Canyon hesi
tate about doing so without being
armed, as infuriated cattle encountered
on the narrow road make travel dan
gerous. One valuable bull belonging to
Albert Hindman was killed Sunday.
The animal first was found attacking
a thorn bush. It tried to drink, cou.d
not get its head down to the water,
and finally dashed madly at a sand
bank. It was frothing at the mouth
when killed and on its flanks were
found the imprint of a bite from a
coyote or dog.
A rancher driving through the can
yon Sunday met a cow which dashed at
the team, causing the horses to run
away.
Mr. Sisley says none of the farmers in
that section believe the malady is any
thing other than hydrophobia.

There is a medicine originated in Cal

people all over the United States and

more remarkable, too, as it is a remedy
for a very serious condition, which It
must benefit at once or its use will be

The remedy is called Fruitola and
it is recommended in pain due to
