r INTEREST OF GOOD ROADS Jude Scott Will Address Meeting at liervais This Evening AX EFFORT TO BE MADE TO GAMZE ASSOCIATIONS IN ERT DISTRICT IN COUNTY OR- H- -TO WORK CONVICTS ROADS. ' 1 ON PUBLIC i (From Saturday's Daily.) The movement for good roads Is on In dead earnest in Oregon now, a.$ well as all over the Union and it begin to look as though 'much good is jto fcje accomplished In that line before the close- of another year, throughout the country, and especially In Oregon and more especially In Marion -countyj. Ma rion county is t Indeed very fortunate to have such a good roads enthusiast who, on account of the deep and active interest which he has taken In the movement, has been chosen' president of the State -Good Roads Association, which was organized in Portland last summer, and by reason of this position, he has become prominently Identified in everything pertaining to good toads; attends al? Oi the national, internation al, state and interstate .-onventions in which he takes a leading and interested part and Marlon county Is destined to reap the benefit of his deep study and research in this question, and if It is not appreciated and taken ' advantage of from the very outset; the people of this county. In every walk of life, will be the losers, for good roads are the foundation of good government and prosperity. . ' - j Judge Scott and II. B. Thielseh, vice president, for Marion county, of the State Association, are at present plan ning a good roads campaign for thfs ft.fity for ihs :purjoe ; r.t arousing tr-ater interest In the cccd roads and w Cfganize gor?-; road: t&rot lation in every precinct as a branch of the state organization. nervals has already tak en the lead In this direction, has organ" ized an association and has already ac complished much good. Last year a fund of over $000 was raised by the Oervais association and, with the sld of the county, made ex tensive and valuable improvements to the several roads. leading Into the thriving little .town and the business people are reaping much benefit from It. They will not stop at this, however, but are going to renew the effort this spring and, before outlining a course Makers, which met fh ;Detroit. Febru ary 13th and, 14 th, -as remarkable In this respect. that Mr. George Burns the great labor leader and President of the Michigan Labor Union, advocat ed the use of prison" labor; either in building reads or In preparing" material to be used for hardening their surfaces, lie is the first great labor leader t advocate this course, although it has been suggested by many speakers and writers on this question during the past ten years. Mr. Burns sees that it would be clearly In the interest of such prison labor and also in the Interest of free labor to have the great army of pris oners, now In the Jails Inthe various states, who are doing no good for themselves and, adding nothing tothe common wealth, applied to. the road proposition in some form ' or other. Many people object to & suggestion of this kind becayse they say that the usw of such labor for such a purpose would have a contaminating Influence In the community where the work is don. But to-nvoid Mich a result Mr. Burns showed how this labor could be applied In the preparation of material, either.brick or broken stone, where the prisoners could be worked In inclosures as they now are. The product so pro duced would not come In contact with free labor as the articles ..generally produced by such labor do; .consequent ly by this course you avoid competi tion with the manufacturer who offer for sale -the "manufactured article, or competition with the free laborer who works totproduce these articlesj and at the same time the prisoner is receiving more luseful Instruction, having more healtjnful exercise and adding j greatly in the course of years to the; common wealth. If 'Mr Burns-'a Idea, i which is undoubtedly a sound and wholesome one, should be adopted by the labor unions of this country generally, it of action. Judge Scott and Mr; Thlelsen have been Invited to and . will address a meeting of the association tonlgnt and a good and enthusiastic attendance is assured. - -' j ,' Judge Scott is receiving iliterature and correspondence from all , sources pertaining to the good roads "question, and the principal portion of the com munications he Is receiving' at'present pertain to and urge the .passage of the Brownlow bill, which is pending before the National Congress and which "out lines a system of procedure toward National improvement of roads: creates a Bureau of Good R,oads. and appropri ates . $20,000,000 for carrying' on. ; the work. : ' - - :' ' j The latest communication he ha re ceived is a digest of a speech made by Hon. Martin Dodge. upon ; the subject of the employment of prison labor upon Public roads, and" the Interest taken In the building of roads by theflabor- un ions and ' automobile manufacturers- The letter reads: , - ? . : The convention of 'American . Road oulJ bring to the road cause a very treat and much needed aid. : ' "The great meeting of the Automo fcle Manufacturers of America, held In j icago soon ' after , this JDetroif en , ntion. February-20th and 21st. de-j ; kpW the Tact that all of the auto ' Bbile manufacturers of America are artlly In -favor of some general plan ' f road building that shall be sppUca-i i Me to all the States In the Union. Be ! ng unanimous In this view they adopt d a resolution Indorsing the passage of the Brownlow bill, which provides 'or a system: c National, j State and i local co-operation in the 'permarSont improvement of the public highway, i It is very evident, from the logic of events- that the time is rapidly ap ; Proaching when the friends of the good roads cause trill be able, to finite many forces Jn favor of the general plan of " " " i . - -. - road Improvement that have heretofore been either indifferent or hostile. Labor leaders generally have been hostile to the Idea of applying the prison labor to this . work, but now one of the- most progressive1 leaders of organized labor has come forward and indorsed in the most hearty and Intelligent way the idea of applying this labor to the gen eral welfare of the community by building up the pubUc roads. In order, however, that this shall be made pos sible the road building authorities, in the various States and counties, must be provided with funds of money in order to obtain the proper machinery, engineering skill and expert labor, so as tq make use of the army of pris oners who would be put at their dis posal under, the new plan. In order to secure this necessary fund it is more evident that the aid of the National Government should be called in to sup ply a portion of the money. This is all provided .for by the Brow nl aw bill, which . was not only indorsed by the Chicago convention, but also by the Detroit convention of American Road Makers. , J "; f - v "Every convention met to consider this question since the Brownlow bill was introduced in Congress has given an Indorsement to the bill and .urged its passage. It Is. cJso. encouraging to note In this connection that many Mem bers of Congress, Just adjourned, in creased the appropriation for the work of the Office of Public Road Inquiries, although' the Agricultural Committee, having the bill in charge in the House of Representatives, reported it back denying the increase asked for." : ARE I READY FOR A TOUR Willamette University Glee Club Will Go to bast- era Oregon FRANCESCO SELET, THE DIREC TOR, IS RECUPERATING BROKEN HEALTH AT THE SEASIDE START DEPENDS UPON HIS RE-TURN-i-SIXTEEN IN THE CLUB. ; (From Saturday's Daily.) ; . -The Willamette University Glee Club is preparing to make a concert tour of Eastern Oregon cities In the near fu ture.

WHERE SELECT VAUDEVILLE PERFORMANCES ,WILL BE GIV EN I NIGHTLY FROM JUNE TO .SEPTEMBER. " (From Sunday's Daily.) r . ., Salem Is growing quite metropolitan. It has been said so much Salem's fail ure as a popular city, which its many advantages entitles it to become, is due principally to Its utter lack of attrac tions until it Is" shunned by the travel ing public, especially commercial men and tourists, who; if It falls to their lot to drop into town on Saturday, will work like Turks in order to make their rounds and get out of town so they will not have to lay here over Sunday sim ply because "there is no place to go to." The time has arrived when this condi tion will be changed and it can no longer be said that Salem is utterly de void of attractions or amusements. - Edward Shields, general manager of Shields Northwest Park and .Vaudeville Circuit, who has conducted popular parks in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma for several, years, was In Salem yester day and completed arrahgements for opening a park, to be known as Shields Park, in this city, which will begin n Monday, June 15th, and continue every lay, or evening, uptil September 15th. Mr. Shields has plaeed the management j of the project in the bands of H. D. and E. C. Patton. of this city, whose long experience In the attraction busi ness has especially fitted them for the charge and the success of the enterprise under their efficient direction Is prac tically assured. . ., . The two lotaonthe corner of -Commercial and Center streets have been leased and will be put in proper condi tion .for the park as soon as possible. Except for the stage, which will be provided with a canopy top, the entire performance will be in the open air. Mr. Shields said yesterday that he has long been of the opinion that a summer garden of this sort "would be appreciated in Salem, and he proposes to have nothing but first-class specialty and vaudeville performances here ex actly the same as are seen In his parks in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, and the strict respectability of the park will be maintained at 1 all .'hazards. No drinks of any kind4 will be dispensed and no disreputable characters will be allowed to rnake it their rendezvous upon no account, y ; . There , will be- six acts given leacJi. nlght for a small admission fee of 10 and 20. cents, the same price as Charged at his other: parks and he. injtendstto give the people of Salem the best there is for he says he -has come to stay.: He has Just returned, from Chicago,' where he has been managing a winter lecturing course for the Daily News, and he has leased the Cordray Theatre, of Portland, for one year, and intends to continue his present park and have performances in both places nightly. The story of the Southern Pacific building from Sheridan to Tillamook Bay is being brought out again. - It will come true some day, and it is to be hoped at an early day, : ' LOST IN THE HILLS V ,The little s-year-old: son of Harry Gray, living four miles west of Lorane. had a thrilling ' experience Saturday night and Sunday, last.

After they had traveled some distance, Mr." Gray decided that he would take- a. certain route with the vw of starting some game. The route Mr. Gray wished to take was a little rough for the boy. and so he mapped out a way for the boy to go a short dis tance where he expected to meet ;the boy In about fifteen minutes. He point ed out the course, designating a large," dead tree as the place for the son to' stop and wait for him. The little fel low started all right, but ft appears he strayed from the course. When Mr. Gray reached the givenpblnt he found no sign of his boy. T After waiting a reasonable time he startedback to find him. He soon found his tracks and dis covered . that -be had . followed - a trail into the-woods. , The father took the trail and followed1 him as fast as pos sible, but darkness came on and he was forced to return home without his boy. He secured help and a lantern and the search, was continued all night. The next morning over forty men were oh the hunt and the woods were searched in every direction.. Late Sunday after noon the little boy was found tired and exhausted, but still in good shape con sidering his age and the exertion he had gone through. . When the boy left his father he had two dogs with him. One, howeven deserted him. and. came home during the-night, the other stay-j ing with his playmate until he was t found. The incident occasioned ' much excitement In Lorane and stirred the hearts of all the citizens. Bohemia Nugget. THE WORKERS IN MARBLE Have Y. PI. C.

WOODBURNOre, March 23.After all, Sallie, the Gresham hen that has done nothing but cackle since she laid a three-ounce -egg last week, did jnot perform such a wonfierful feat, in com parison with that of Eunice, a Plym outh Rok biddy of this city. Eunice Is a thorough bred fowl of mature years, and matronly appearance. She Is own ed by Hon, J. H. Settlemier. who Is vice-president of the Oregon State Ag ricultural Board. Saturday she cack led a little more loudly than usual, and Mr. Settlemier, upon going to her nest, found a white warm egg of astounding sixe. He weighed and measured It and round that It weighed a trills more than four ounces and measured sight inches In circumference the longer way, and six and one-half inches st the center. The egg Is now on exhibition at the store here. Eunice apparently thinks that she has done nothing extraordin ary and is going about her business in a quiet, ladj-iike way, although she has clearly defeated Sallie, the Eastern Multnomah champion, and Desdetnona, the La Grande pullet that seems to have some can on fame. . ; -ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP.
