ficial MEN FIND
AWAITING THEM
Two men stood side by side amidships
waiting until the anxious throng had
gone ashore and were taken by the happy
ones to their respective homes and
places where they are to visit.
There was no one to meet the two
men, no one to wish them a welcome of
any kind. There was not a soul on the
wharf that they knew or had ever seen
before.
After the happy ones had gone their
way, a man gave a word of command
and the lonesome chaps moved toward
the gang plank, keeping step. They
were prisoners, chained together.
The two men were John Powell and
John Ryerson, escaped convicts from
the Washington penitentiary. They had
been captured in California and were
being returned to serve out their terms.
They were in the custody of Captain J.
D. Smith, deputy warden of the prison

of -The Journal My attention has just

treatment In the published statistics of

nishes figures of . his own.'
unkindness is in the facts and not In
tho manner ' of presentation appears

As to the fact that cart of this ex

on Mr. Stevens to have his ; force and
expense increased in this manner. But
he had an excellent chance to make his
opposition to the increase known' and

is odd that Mr; Stevens forgot to make
allowance for the fact that Word had
to make up a delinquent roll, which
was the great item of expense in that
work, and which Stevens was relieved

between Mr. Stevens' election year and

believed that Morrison should receive

the hands of Miller, promising to divide
the ) commission. Miller claims that
Morrison appeared as a purchaser, but
the deal fell through, and the sale fin

FOR PUBLIC ROAD
Now the people of Sauvles, or at least
10 or a dozen families that have no out
let, are asking the court to undertake
part of the expense In giving them a
road. A survey has been made and the
viewers have fixed 12,000 as the prob
able cost - This cost can be largely les
sened by going around a lake where the
profile calls for a straight - line road,
with a costly bridge and fill. The resi
dents, of the Island say they are ready
to pledge $1,000 for the road if the
county will meet them half way. . They
point out that they or their predecessors
nsve been paying road taxes for 60
years without any benefits for them-
The matter -whs continued until Fri
day, to allow the change of plan for the
road to be made, if this can be done
legally. .The court declined to make
rromlses ss to what will be done further
han to offer to grant the petition for a
road, to give a right of -way, leaving
the-matter of expense to ho considered
later. ..
Mr. Fields recommends that voters,
so far as possible, obtain sample bal
lots and familiarize themselves with the
amendments to be voted on.
- "If people are not familiar with the
ballot." said Mr. yields. . "and have to
take time to read over the propositions
printed on the ballot, they will spend a
long time in the booth and there is dan
ger of congestion. It is not an easy
ballot to vote quickly, at the best, and
ever voter ought to get a sample ballot
beforehand and study it It he cannot
come to the county clerk's office for
it some day this week he should obtain
it at the polls before be goes to vote."
