declined saying that the hotel was
very carefully-policed, that he did not
visit ladies at their, rooms in hotels.
You assured him it would be perfect
ly satisfactory that he visit Too?. ' Me

a deposition, said she was a "spirit-
ualist minister" that she knew Mrs.
DeBouchel and that she had been
approached by a young man named
"Cochran' who said he was investU
gating Mrs. DeBouchel and that he
would "make it worth her while," if
she would -"help his side of the case."
She knew nothing against Mrs. De
Bouchel, the deposition stated.
H. J, Goss, proprietpr of a Reno
hotel at which Mrs. DeBouchel stayed

while to give him facts about Mrs. De

tal to her character. "
Mr. Goss told Cochran to "go to
hell," his deposition Btated. He said

Opposes Ilmii Pavement
To the Editor: Tho Jiiek.son county
court him unselfishly (?) clodded to
pavo tho Mod ford to Ruch road which
It nlready tho boHt and nowont nrnv-
I olod rond In tho county. Tho people
I never Intended for tho Ruch road to
bo paved. If tho money miiHt bo spent
on this rond It should be used In ex
tending' n, graveled road from Ruch
on up us far as tho road is not grav
eled. Your editorial in Monday's paper
was fine. You can't talk with a Air
men or business man in tho county
that doesn't complain of high taxes.
Yet they will go to sleep and let the
court sneak around and pull oft this
"lmbocllistlu" stunt of throwing away
a couplo hundred thousand dollars.
A person can't blame the people
living along the Medford to Ruch road
for wanting a pavement, altho thoy
already havd a road as good as a
pavement, but for tho county court
who should represent all tho people
to bo so cmxy for It thero must be a
nigger In the woodpile some plnee or
other. . "o-
Tho writer In yesterday's papor who
said that last year's work on the Jack?'
sonvllle to Ruch road was a rope tit Ion,
of what had been done soveral years,
before was telling an untruth, Thla
road never was worked much until
last year. Now it is good enough to
lust ten years. Paving the - Medfor'd
to Jacksonville road wouldn't be so
bad, but paving from Jacksonville to,
Ruch Is where the rottenness' come
in. Thero are hundreds of people .la
Juckson county living on roads that
nre almost impassable In the winter.
It is robbery to use money where It Is
not needed when theso people need it
so bad. , A.. Hd
