Movement For State Aid In Road
Building.


The estimation in which the people of
the counties of Maryland hold the ques.
ton of good roads is being fully demon.
strated, and the efforts of the projectors
of the new law for State aid to road build
ing is receiving its reward in the earnest
nsss with which five or six counties OF
the StsAe, led by Prince Gsssts's ssnnty,
are already taking steps to avail them
selves of the State fund appropriated for
model road building. Montgomery,
Allegany, Hartford and Caroline counties
have all indicated their interest in the
building of one OF more pieces of model
road within their boundaries, and of these
counties Allegany and Hartford are ar
ranging for the preparation of plans,
specifications and estimates upon certain
roads, in order to obtain the State aid
and go forward with the road building as
soon as the necessary funds become
available.
Prince Georges county. through its
Board of Road Commissioners, has the
honor of being the first county to petition
to have plans, specifications and estimates
made for the survey and building of
scientifically constructed roads under the
provisions of the new road law, but the
interest shown by the people of this Sec
tion has been closely rivaled by the peo-
pie of Allegany county in the neighbour
hood of Cumberland, Frostburg and Lon
aconing; and by the residents of Pyles-
vile and Forest Hill, Hartford county.
Montgomery county early evinced de-
cided interest in the new law, aud the
Board of County Commissioners have
taken under consideration the building OF
apiece of road under its provisions. Car
oline county has expressed its desire to
construct State road at an early date.
For-the Prince Georges aud Allegany
roads, for which applications have been
deceived for the drawing up of the plans,
specifications and estimates by the en-
gineers of the Maryland Geological Sur.
vey, the survey will begin in three or
four weeks, as soon as eneagh applica-
tions from the residents along the routes
have been received to thoroughly organ
ize the work. The Board of Road Com.
missioners of Prince Georges county
have requested that seven pieces of roads
be placed upon the files of the Highway
Division of the Maryland Geological
Survey, on three of which roads it is re-
3uested that five miles be surveyed and
reported upon with regard to plans, spec
ifications and estimates.
Ailegany county has come forward to
request the surveying of four miles Of
road, and the Board of Road Directors
announce that the county will take up its
full allotment ofthe State aid. The roads
in question are Old National road near
Cumberland, the Legislative road near
Mt. Savage, the Bedford road, and the
Legislative road between Frostburg and
Homecoming.

pioneers Of Chicago are parties to the
suit.
The claim on which the case is
brought is that the owners of the land
in the various subdivisions concerned
plated Stewart Avenue and dedicated
IL to the city of Chicago for use as
highway. 1t is contended that the city
had no right TO permit the Pennsylvania
Railroad 10 use the street, and that
when Stewart Avenue was vacated by
city ordinance ii reverted to the heirs
of the original owners.
Practically the whole length of the
street, from Twelfth Street to Sixty-frst
Street, is claimed by the plaintiffs.
The attorneys for the railroad deny
absolutely the right of the plaintiffs.

the reversion theory is true, then the

LOCATES YELLOW METAL
Eden Farmer Believes He Has a Find
of Gold.

Fred Greene has discovered gold on
his farm in Eden, says the Sleepy Eye
Dispatch. How much of the yellow
metal there is on the Greene farm is
not known but it is sure gold, for
some of the rock which Mr.. Greene
thought contained gold was sent to St.
Paul assayers, who announced that
these specimens assayed about $50 to
the ton. Mr.. Greene was here Thurs
day with samples of his valuable
property.
These specimens were taken from a
rock near a spring not far from the
Minnesota river at point about a
mile west Of the ferry. This rock at

After experiencing a very successful

outlining another amusement cam
paign and has already booked num-
Der of splendid attractions for the
fall and winter. This year the season
will probably open earlier than usual,
as negotiations are pending to put on
two plays next month, and from that
time onward local playhouse habitues
will be given every opportunity to

While Manager Johnson's list is by

been able to secure a number of ex-

him to suit all customers.
Immediately after the Fourth his
first travelling man began offering the
couches to the trade and during the
first week on the road secured orders
for more than hundred. Within a
few days another drummer will begin
introducing the toys and if he meets
with the same success Mr.. Buenger
will be more than satisfied. One of
these men is to cover Northern Mime
sofa and North Dakota and the other
will have his territory in Southern
Minnesota, South Dakota and Northern
Iowa. AS the toy couches combine
novelty, beauty and durability, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that
furniture men and other merchants
will be quick to see their possibilities.
Thus far the retail dealers have taken
hold OF them in great shape and it
should not be difficult for the com
mercial representative to dispose OF
hundreds of them.
The work of filing these orders will
be begun this month and if the demand
comes up to expectations as many
additional men as circumstances
warrant will be given employment in
the factory. Shipments are to com

of "Papa's Boy" a big musical
comedy. This is one of the leading
attractions to tour the west this year
and if it comes here will be seen during
the month of August. The same month
will probably witness the presentation
of "A Boy of the Streets"
The first positive date is September
25th, when "Our New Minister" will
hold the boards. Its pretty pastoral
play and last season at Mankato
drew a 5000 house. On either October
18th or 10Th Col. Henri Watterson
of Louisville, will deliver one Of his
famous lectures, probably that entitled
"Society." His engagement has been
mentioned by this paper in the past
and New Ulm people are to be con
graduated upon their good fortune in
being able to hear this distinguished
southerner. His talk on "Society"
treats of the worship Of the golden
calf by the leaders of the New York
'sfour hundred and is scathing
arraignment of the aims and ambitions
of those social butterflies. His criti-
cisms are most caustic and the lecture
has attracted fully as much attention
as did the editorial that suggested it.
Early in November, on the 18th, the
noted actress, Miss Clara Thropp,
will be seen in New Ulm in a double
bill. She will play Ibsen's "a Dolls
House" and Sardou's "Divorrcons"
and will be followed on the 9th by the
Swedish singing comedian, Carl Eek
strom, in A Modern Viking" An
other eminent speaker who will lecture
here during November is Col. William

tongued orator of the Platte Pwice

democratic party, as was evidenced at
the convention in ST. Louis last week.
Col. Bryan's subjects are ''Ideals'
and ''The Prince of Peace but a
selection has not been made as yet.
During the first week in December
the old favorite, Walker Whiteside,
will play his annual engagement, very
likely in "Hamlet," and Manager
johnson hopes to be able to again
secure the Shakesperian actor, Chas,
