E GOOD ROAD HONORS R 3 SK 77 While, under the leadership of the Ad Club and other clubs of Portland and vicinity the people of Multnomah County are planning to celebrate Good Roads day by providing- several thou sand to work on the Columbia High way, other counties are showing no less interest jn the approaching event. Letters from all parts of the state are pouring in outlining the arrange ments that are being made, and it ap pears that Multnomah County is to have some close rivals in the field on road-building day. Among the letters that have come to the committee in charge of the movement here from other places are the following, which give an idea of preparations elsewhere: Oregon City Commercial Club In re Sard to Good Roads day, I am sorry to say we have no demonstration planned for that day, but will hold a meeting en the evening of the 21st in the au ditorium of the Congregational Church at 7 o'clock. We would feel flattered to have you a guest for that occasion and- hope you can arrange to be with us. I am pleased to see the city man chow the man on the land that he is Interested in him and in making trans portation of products a pleasure rather than a drudgery. Go to it, old man; we are with you in spirit. Albany Commercial Club In your letter of yesterday you asked if there Is going to be a demonstration up here cn Good Roads day. Why, of course there will be. You will never find the people of Albany and Linn County be hind on such a scheme as that. Our County Judge has taken the matter in charge, and, although he has not yet worked out all the details, it is being urged that all the business houses of the county close up on the day selected and that everyone ehall take a hand in road improvement; and we have every reason to believe this programme will be carried out. It so happens that the day set apart by Governor West does not suit existing conditions in this lo cality, and County Judge McKnightwill name a later date, but this action on his part will add to the success of the movement rather than detract from it. Koseburg Commercial Club I am In receipt of your letter of April 15 in regard to Good Roads Day, and have taken the matter up with Henry Harth, who is chairman of our pood roads committee and also of the local Good Roads Association, and who Is working on the matter. As soon as a definite programme is . ararnged. I will let you know. Bend Commercial Club In reply to your inquiry regarding good roads here, will state that . we will work between 70 and 100 men on- the roads here on Friday, April 24, this day being chosen instead of the 2oth on account of the inconveniences caused to the merchants In closing their stores on featurday. Hood River Commercial Club Tours of April 16 relative to Good Roads Day at hand. We are boosting April 24 (Friday), as Hood River Good Roads Day and will probably have several hundred men at work on the Columbia River Highway. Saturday Is e. heavy day with our merchants, as it Is the day when our farmers do most of their marketing. On Friday the stores Siere will all close and everybody is SOlng to turn out. Pendleton Commercial Club An swering your letter of April 15, in Which you enclosed a circular an nouncement concerning Good Roads Day: No demonstration is planned in this section corresponding exactly to the plan which is made for Multnomah County. We have contracted with the .gent for D. Ward King for an address and demonstration by the latter on May 4, to which all who are interested in the improvement of our highways are telng urged to come. A meeting was held at Hermiston last week, which was attended by peo ple from all ithat. part of the county westward from dHOwrto discuss a plan to construct an Improved highway be tween Umatilla and Pendleton, which Is to be a link in the Columbia High Way. This latter meeting- was quite well attended and developed considerable enthusiasm. It has been pretty thor oughly reported in tne press and I suspect you are already informed about it. i PERSONAL MENTION. J. A. Carter, of Kalama. Wash., is at the Carlton. J. F.

John TummelL an acred crinnle. nf Lower Alblna, buried his two dogs with military honors when they died in November, 191L He wanted to bury them in ground where they could not be disturbed, but he was destitute and unable to do so. So he wrapped them in medicated linen. Dlaced a small American flag in the wrapping with them and stored them in the drawer of a bureau at his shack on Mississippi avenue. A second mortgage on his furniture was due yesterday. He owed $100 in tne first place and borrowed $125 to pay it. He was unable to return the $125 and his furniture was seized and taken to a downtown office buildine- for storage. The new owner, in look ing through the drawers of the bureau. found the linen-wrapped medicated package. He was surprised, and think ing the wrapping might contain the body of a dead child, he summoned Sergeant Stahl and Patrolman Wise. The officers cut the wraooines of the package, and instead of a child's face found the bodies of "Fannie" and Babe" wrapped in a silk flasr. Nota tions on the white strips of the flag showed that the dogs died November li. 1811, at 3:15 A. M. "Fannie" was full grown and "Babe" a pup.

March 30. considering myself still the teacher, I went to the schoolhouse to open school and to fulfill my contract as teacher. Trustees at School. "When I reached the schoolhouse," continued Mrs. Foreman, "the three trustees were lined up to prevent my entrance. I had asked some of my friends to go with me, as violence had been threatened in case I should at tempt to open school. Ufori one of tha trustees, met me at the head of the steps, put his hands on my shoulders and was not going to let me come up on the porch. But I went past him and the other trustees. Mr. Larson and Mr. Luml- jarvi, another trustee, took hold of me, pulled me around and hurt mo by their rough handling. Two school boys demanded admis sion, and the trustees opened the door. I ran .upstairs and xrasped the bell cord, smd Mr. Larson struck me in the face, making my nose bleed. They had the Sheriff waiting around the corner. and as soon as I called school they had him come In and arrest me in the presence of all the children. 1Stt Charge Substituted. "The charge on which I was ar rested, and for which I gave $500 bonds, that of disturbing a public school, was dismissed the next day, and another, that of inciting to riot and breaking into a public building, sub stituted. "Of course in getting me away from the school they succeeded In their pur pose, but I think I can show the grand jury that I -.as attempting to do my legal duty as teacher according to con tract." Mrs. Foreman says that there is talk throughout Columbia County of re calling Superintendent Wilkerson, be cause, she says, "people realize that he could have averted all the trouble." W. V.
