G. T. IWhby presented a report of his attendance at the road meetings in Dallas and McMinn ville, which formed the starter for the discussion, and it was re solved to appoint a committee to ro to Salem and interview the highway authorities, and also, possibly, legislative committees, and to act in conjunction with west side representatives in get ting progress in the location of west side road. G. T. Boothby, Ed Lorence and Ira Towell were appointed as such committee and they went to Salem Wednesday. The committee found that nothing had been done as yet in the interest of a highway on the west side, so they helped in a roundup of the representatives of that section in both houses and were promised an effort would be made to have one of the several road laws which are before the legislature amended to care for the interests of the west side. There was no session of the Nor mal and such children of the training school as wished were allowed to go, the penalty being that each must prepare a report of observations. Other citizens of the city also took advantage of the opportunity to visit the capital. Secretary Ben W.

An audience that filled the Normal chapel to its capacity applauded the version of the German folk story of the Rose Maiden as presented in music and rendered by the Normal Glee club last Friday evening. The central theme was carried by four soloists, imported from Portland for the occasion and their work was of a high order. But to many in the audience the chorus work of the glee club under the direction of Miss Hoham was most attractive. The story relates the adventures of a rose who induced Spring to turn her into a maiden and she wanders into the world in search of perfect love. She comes upon a girl who has been desert ed by her lover but, undeterred the Rose Maiden fares on and finally marries a forester, whose love is so perfect that when he dies she cannot survive him. The elves bewail the fate of their queen and curse love as fatal to peace and happiness. W. F. SCOTT Contractor and Builder All kinds of Carpentering and Repair work neatly done.
