STATE CONVENTION WILL BE
HELD IN PORTLAND, OREGON,
THIS MONTH
NJ ,t;onaI Association Will Also Hold a
Meeting in Rose city-Large At
tendance Expected.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Washington Good Roads as
ISOLATION has been called by President
Samuel Hill for June "a at Portland,
the last day Of the session Of the Ma
tional Good Roads association.
The coming meeting promises to be
the most important ever neld in the
west in connection with the movement,
as it will be the first occasion that the
National association has held its meet
ing on the Pacific coast.
A great deal of interest has been
aroused in the state since the organi-
cation of the state association, and
while the results have been preliminary
in their character, the three conven-
tons neld at Seattle, Spokane AMI
Bellingham, have served to fix the or
ganization securely upon it's foundation
as state institution. The organiza-
ton of a branch association in Walla
Walla some time ago has been the
means of getting the people of Eastern
Washington interested in the move
ment and resulted in the government
building a mile of sample road near
Walla Walla. This work was carried
further by the county commissioners,
the Blalock Fruit company and num-
Der of farmers extending the road an
other mile in length. Now, the people
of College Place are agitating the
of constructing road of
a similar character to that little town.
1t is expected that the national as
ISOLATION meeting in Portland will be
attended by large number of repre-
sentatives from all the counties in
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Cali
fornia, and that plans will be formu-
lated looking to legislation in the

BOWEN AND LOOMS IN TROUBLE
Roosevelt May Dismiss Former From
Diplomatic Service.

WASHINGTON, June 6-From I'M
questioned sources it is learned that
the Bowen-L oomis investigation has
practically been concluded by Secre-
tary Taft and the president, and the
conclusion reported is that Francis B.
Loomis, assistant secretary of state,
while not guilty of the charges pre-
ferred against him in the asphalt case,
or of other charges, has been indis-
Greet and is likely to suffer a mild
reprimand.
The charges preferred by Loomis
that Bowen instigated and made public
the charges against him nave been
proved, and Bowen will either be dis
missed from the service or demerited.
The former is regarded as the most
likely punishment to be melted out.
Minister Russell of Venezuela is now
on his way here to give testimony, but
he can throw no additional light upon
the case.

RAN FACTORY ONLY SHORT TIME
Suit Is Now Brought by Creditors for
Sums Asgregating $4,000.

MARQUETTE, Mich, June GA
great stir has been caused in this por-
ton of the upper peninsular by notifi-
cation that a suit has been brought
against the stockholders of the Mamma
Cereal company of Detroit by credi-
tors holding claims of $4,000.
The company was launched two
years ago to manufacture a new
breakfast food, but suspended business
after it's factory had been in operation
only a short time. It's capital was half
a million, and large blocks were float
ed throughout northern Michigan, SO
Marquette men alone putting $4,000
into the venture.
1t is asserted by the stockholders
they were assured that the shares were
full paid and non -assessable, and as
the money invested is cons derei lost,
notice of the suit has caused great re-
sentiment and the promoters are be-
ing vigorously scored.
A conference of the upper peninsula
shareholders will probably be called to
outline a plan of action.

states named along lines best calcu-
lated to forward the movement.
National Secretary r. M. Richard
son, who maintained Offices at ST.
exposition, and who has moved his
headquarters to Portland, to remain
there during the Lewis and Clark ex-
position, has written to Secretary
Meikle, stating that he has mailed
copies Of the official call for the con-
vention to all Of the business organi-
cations and colleges, county judges,
mayors of cities, road commissioners,
principal railroad people and long
personal list in the state of Washing
ton.
Besides the unitarian interest in
volved in the movement for good roads
there will be addresses upon the scien-
tific, ethic and economic phases Of the
subject and its relation to industrial
progress and development. Engineers
of national reputation and expert road
builders are to exemplify modern
methods of construction of earth,
gravel, macadam, brick and other
kinds of roads and advise as to the
proper means of construction and the
methods of maintenance, having in
mind the material nearest and best
adapted to the local conditions.
The subject of legislation will be Civ
en- close attention as we'll as the MEANS
financial and otherwise for accomplish
ing certain ends. The use of convict
labor for road building will also consti-
tute a subject for discussion. Mr..
Meikle states that for an object lesson
a road will be built ON the grounds as
a special exhibit, to show in detail
the process of road building from the
foundation grade to the finished road.
1t will aso demonstrate the application
and use of various kinds of road ma
terial and the operation of the latest
improved road making machinery.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OPENED THREE PROPOSALS
TO DO THE WORK
Marshall Brothers Of Portland Were
the Lowest-May Not Get the
Contract.

Yesterday bids for the construction
of cement sidewalks around the county
court house were opened by the county
commissioners. The bids were as fol-
lows:
George H. Snell-Walks, per square
foot, 10 cents; curbing, per lineal foot,
40 cents; guaranteed for years.
Marshall Brothers of Portland-Ce-
ment walks, per square foot, 16h
cents; curbing AZ cents per lineal foot.
Mcnamara & O'Hara-Walks, per
square foot, 10 cents; curbing, per lin
cal foot, SIS cents.
The bids will be carefully considered
before any contracts are entered into.
Although Marshall Brothers of Port
land were somewhat lower than any
of the Walla Walla contractors, the
board considered that by giving the
work to outside contractors it will be
necessary to employ an inspector at
SIS day to see that the work is done
properly, which would pring the price
to within nearly as msuch as if the
contract was given to local contractors.
The bond of Picard & Hennessy,
awarded the contract for burying the
county poor, was approved.
The road petitioned for by George
Lambdin and others in the Touchet
country was set for hearing July 5.
the taxes on lot block 5, College
Place, was ordered cancelled.

Dover. April 2e.-One Page, colored,
was this morning convicted Of murder in
the second degree, for having killed Mar
tina Rochester also colored, with a club
in Cedar Lane. Dover. on November o.
The verdict. which was,received by the
court at o'clock, after the jury had
spent the night talking over the case, was
great surprise 90 the people of this
county Il was also a victory for John b.
Hutton. the lawyer OF Dover assigned by
the court to defend the accused.
The state proved that Page, armed with
a hickory club. followed the young wo-
man and Henry Ingram up Cedar Lane
and. on making a request of the girl
which she refused. he Drained her with
the cudgel.
Cleverly enough, tho defense admitted
the whole thing but produced witnesses
to show that the three were simply en-
gagged in houseplay and that the girl was
accidentally struck. This created doubt
in the minds Of the jury and saved Page
from the gallows. he win remain in pris-

DOG WAS MAD THAT
BIT TWO CHILDREN
Physician Attending One
Child But Italian Is With
out Medical Aid

DOG Catcher George Kopp received
word from Delaware College today that
the dog which caused so much excite
ment on Sunday last i'm the lower part
of the city and bit two small boys
before it was killed by Patrolman Bur-
chinal. had the rabies. The brain of
the dog was sent to the college to be
examined several days ago. The chill
dren who were bitten were the five
yearaolld son Of William A. Scott, Of
Sherman and Poplar streets, and Nor
ris Singhaeng, a -year-old Italian
boy, who lives at No. lis West Front
street.
The animal which caused so much
excitement was a gray and black bea-
gle hound. II was chased through the
streets for some time, swapping at ev-
erything which came i'm its way, by
DOG Catcher Kopp and several po-
licemen. before officer Burchinal sue
ceeded I'm killing the enraged animal.
The Scott boy will be attended by
DR.. II. r. Spruance. He will give him
the Pasteur treatment and send the
bill to City Council.
As yet nothing has been done for the
unfortunate little Italian. who was
painfully bitten through the hand. 1t
is said that the boys father was one
of those convicted of NATURALIZATION
fraud and is now in prison. A great
deal OF sympathy is expressed for the
child. as it is thought that his mother
has not the money to get medical aid
for her son and probably does not real
ize the seriousness Of the injury.
It is thought that the city will look
into the case.
