For some mysterious reason, un
known to the citizens or Milton, the
council refused to accept the resigna
tion of .Marshal Vancll, and insisted
thnt he should, if he couldn't attend
to the duties himself, to act as nomi
nal marshal and appoint a deputy,
which he did. Instead of appointing
James Ronine, who presented his pe
tition with more than half the voters'
names attached, ho appointed Y. M.

voters, and like the members of the
last legislature, the people will re
member them nt the next election.

with its teeth, and" a claw on each
side of the face, scratching and biting
it up in a terrible shape, biting entire

Crushed Rock for Roads,
Road Supervisor Campbell says
that he has raised $1,600 to meet the
county court on ' the proposition fit
grading and putting crushed rock on
the river road from Milton to the
forks of the river, a distance ,of six
miles. Somo time ago Mr. Campbell
I
told Judge Hartman what his inton
tlon wns and Hnrtman promised to
seo that the county court put the road
In shape nnd furnish a crusher. Mr,
Campbell has been working quietly
ever since, and last week he present
ed his petition to the patrons of the
road and was rewarded by raising
nearly $1,600 to be paid when the road
Is put In shape for the rock. The
proposition is to put eight inches of
crushed rock 20 feet wide from the
South Milton bridge to the forks of
the Walla Walln River, near Marion
Dorothy's plnce. If the county court
meets Mr. Campbell half way. graded
roads will soon bo tested In Umatilla
county for nil they are worth. There
isn't a road In the state that has any
more travel on It than this piece hns
Wheat hauling, wood from -the moun
tains and lumber from the mills, with
two to eight-horse teams, will surely
try crushed rock.

"Magda."
The dramatic event of the season
will be the return of Miss Florence
Roberts to the opera house on next
Tuesday night in "Magda" of which
the Portland Oregonian has the fol
lowing to say;
"Another triumph was won by Flor
ence Roberts and her company at the
Marquam theater last night in Her
man Sudermann's three-act play,
"Magda," familiar to theatergoers by
reason of the brilliant presentation in
this city of the same character by
Nance O'Neil. Miss Rohers gave
such a beautiful, finished portrayal
that she need fear no comparison
when she takes the leading role in
"Magda" with anyone now before the
public. She wns excellently support
ed by Win, Yorrance, who appeared
as white-haired, paralytic Colonel
Schwarze. These two were nearly the
whole play, so vivid and thrilling a
picture did they bring before the an
dience."

food" and say that all children ought to
have it in abundance. They say too, that
weak, thin, nervous children must have fat
