ARE ORGANIZING ON COUNTY ROADS
OPPORTUNITY OFFERED TO GET
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ROAD.
Under the New Law, Incorporated Cities are
Allowed Part of the Road and Bridge Fund,
to Which They Contribute Largely, and Are
Entitled.

Since the new road law went into
effect the county commissioners have
been giving the law considerable study,
and find they are authorized to expend
the general road and bridge fund "for the
construction, repair and Improvement OF
roads and bridges in which all the in
habitants of the county are Interested. ;"
AS wagon road outlet eastward from
Aberdeen will open the entire region
north OF Grays Harbor and west OF Alb
erdeen to travel from the eastern part OF
the county, it is readily seen that the
whole county IS interested in this road
way.
The most expensive part OF this road
lies for two miles in the incorporated
limits of Aberdeen, and as the commits
sioners have the authority. it is no more
than common justice to this region to sub
stantially aid the city in building this
piece of road. Including the taxes for
1903, the City of Aberdeen will have
paid, in round numbers, about $4,000
in the past four years into the general
road and sbridge fund, and it is certainly
not asking too much to request one-half
OF that sum to be expended in opening
the north side of Grays Harbor to wagon
road communication.
1t is now clearly demonstrated that
Aberdeen and HoQpiam are growing into
cities of importance, and to which the
farmers, as we'll as loggers, of the eastern
portion OF the county look for market
for their products. 1t is also tolerably
clear that the wagon road will quickly
be followed by the trolley car, giving
rapid transit to and from the county seat
for the Grays Harbor cities.
According to an interview in the
Washingtonian. commissioner Davis
gives some interesting information on
on road matters. He says that, in Dis
trict l, the Elma and Satsop bridges
must both be rebuilt this year. $500
has been appropriated for the North river
road, and the jetties at the Gleason
bridge, and the poor farm will receive
large appropriations in the second dis
trict. In the third district, $1,000 will
be required to complete the Humptulips
river bridge. AS the general road and
bridge fund to be collected this year will
approximate s25 1000, the time to open
this large and busy region to develop
ment would seem to have arrived.
Commissioner Dayis also gives the
amount of road funds expended in the
past thiee years, in each commissioner
district. that gives the best possible
argument in favor Of very liberal ex-
penditures in the second district this
year. Here are the figures:

WAS MARRIED SINCE 1890
Says Mrs. Kennedy, and to Mormon with
Wife Already.

Says Mrs. Kennedy, and to Mormon with
Wife Already.
The next witness was Mrs. Clara
Mabel Kennedy. She swore she had
been married in 1896 to a Mormon
named James Francis Johnson, who
at that time-May 10, 1S96-had a
wife with whom he was living and
continued to live. The wedding took
place at Juarez, Mexico.
''Who married your was asked.
Brother Young"
DO you mean Brigham Young, the
apostle?' Yes, sir"
The witness was asked by Tayler
if she ever had seen Apostle Young
before, and she said she had in Diaz
and Jaurez two or three times, and
that she could not be mistaken She
could not identify picture Of Young,
however Mrs. Kennedy said she lived
with Johnson about five years, part of
the time in the same house with the
first wife and part of the time away.
She separated from Johnson at the end
of five years and about year after
that was married to Kennedy.
Foraker questioned the witness in
regard to the ceremony uniting her to
Johnson. She said she could not re-
member much about it. There was no
prayer, she said, but she remembered
that she stood up and answered yes
to the questions that were asked her.
why did you separate from your
husband?" Foraker asked. well, l
could not stand the pressure any long
en-" she replied.
what do you mean by could not
stand the pressure'?" asked Chairman
Burrows. 'Were you not treated
right?' mo, sir, l was not" she
said.
would you have stayed if you had
been treated right? 1t was not because
you were opposed to Mormonism?' was
asked. II am a Mormon STILL" she
said; though am not a very good
one"
Worthington took the witness for
cross-examination and asked if she did
not know that Brigham Young is now
dead.
Eyes, I heard so a few weeks ago.
After few more unimpOrtant queS-
lions the hearing was adjourned for

The Herald wishes to again call
the attention of the voters to the
Importance Of the judicial election
to be held this spring. It is usual to
have only about one-fourth of the
normal vote of this state cast at a
judicial election. The voters ordi-
narily do not feel that they are
qualified to judge as to the merits of
the respective candidates and politi-
cal considerations have never been
allowed to enter such campaigns.
On this occasion, however, there
has been a considerable discussion
Of the merits of the candidates and
many persons best qualified to
judge have expressed themselves as
strongly in favor of L. K. Luse for
the position. 1t is only necessary
that those in faver of Mr.. Luse
should make the effort to have the
voters vote at the election. With
such strong candidate in the field
it would be foolish to allow the
matter to go by default and yet
this is what is likely to happen if
his friends are Indifferent in the
matter.

THE AWAKENING In THE THIRD.

The interest manifested in the
Babcock convention at Baraboo has
rarely or never been equaled in the
history Of similar gatherings in this
state. People from every county in
the district piled into the little
town. For each delegate there
we're five visiting spectators, and
the capacity of the place for the
accommodation of outsiders was
taxed to the utmost. Excitement
was at fever heat, the tension
resembling that at a presidential
convention, in contrast with the
matter of-fact~ spirit which the
generality of Wisconsin district
conventions reflect.
Congressman Babcock was the
hero of the hour, and the crest OF
the wave of enthusiasm was reached
when he delivered his speech of
acceptance. His business like
directness of style is more effective
than artificial oratory. When he
makes a point and clinches it even a
Philadelphia lawyer would find
difficulty in pulling out the nails
and tearing the argument to pieces.
His hearers knew that Mr.. Babcock
had been the victim of misrepre-
sensations as vilely unjust as were
ever employed to prejudice candi-
date. They felt that his conspic-
uous public services should have
exempted him from such villainous
assaults-especially from such
assaults at the hands Of men claim
ing to be of his own political faith;
and they realized that to have per-
mitted the conspiracy against him
to succeed would have encouraged
the extension of the same style Of
warfare to every district in the
state, and it's revival in future cam
paigns.
The political awakening which
has occurred in the Third district
will produce noticeable results in
the approaching state campaign.
The voters have become thoroughly
aroused. The caucuses brought out
almost as many citizens as an ordi-
nary election. It is calculated that
80 per cent-of the farmer vote was
cast for Congressman Babcock.
The voters of Wisconsin love justice
and are independent. They hate
unfairness and resent attempted
dictation.
