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.

2 DOGS BURIED IN BUREAU
Discovery Made Wlien Aged Cripple's
Furniture Is Seized for Debt.
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.

that she had been dismissed as teacher
by the Board.
"The School Board had no right to
dismiss me without giving me a hear
ing, as the school law provides, said
Mrs. Foreman yesterday, "and so on
the morning of Monday. 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."
