Olentangy Park.

Olentangy Park, Theatre and
Geological Garden, the big Colum-
bus amusement resort, is now open
for the season of 1907, and is "big-
ger and better than ever" Nu-
merous new attractions have been
installed this year, and visitors
are fairly bewildered by the va
riety and magnitude of the enter
tainment offered. The new Dan.
cling Pavilion at Olentangy this
year will be one of the largest and
finest in the State. Free out door
attractions are presented each
week, and Powell's Big Union
Band, of 30 musicians, give free
concerts every afternoon and even
ing. The Geological Garden, Mus
cum of Ornithology, japanese Vii
lage and Gypsy Camp are also free.
Superb productions twice daily
are presented in the theatre.
Riggs Rough Riders are also
giving big open air Wild West
show everv afternoon and evening.
This organization carries 75 In
dians, cowboys and ranch girls,
with over 80 horses, and present
an exciting reproduction of life on
the plains.
These special attractions, in ad-
dition to the other numerous
amusements will make Olentangy
Park the foremost amusement re-
sort in the entire country, and a
visit to this Park will be almost
equal to Worlds Fair trip,

NEW H. Y.
SHOPS BEING
RUSHED UP.
Columbus sum

Actual work ON the new Hook
ing Valley shops at Logan has
been in progress for several weeks
and the detailed plans and speci-
tications are now in the hands of
the constructing engineers and
contractors The officers Cf the
company report that the prelimi-
nary work is highly satisfactory
and that it is progressing as rap
idly as could have been planned
There will be six brick build
ings and one steel building in the
yards. Plans for the occupancy
of euch one have been made and,
though the company is sparing no
expense to make the shops what
they should be, still the strictest
economy is being adhered to IN the
matter of locations and sizes of
buildings. The shops, which will
cost several thousand dollars to
erect and will provide employment
for a few hundred men, are in
tended to be the largest building
and repairing works main tanned
by the company. General Super
intendent NJ. S. Connors looked
ahead almost 10 years in planning
them, and they are expected to be
of great service during that
length of time.
The power house will be of
brick, 6OX120 feet. The company
will install several large dynamos
there to light the different shops
and yards and to run the machin-
cry. The office and storeroom
building will be located near the
power house, being 25x50 feet,
with large front platform.
The pipe and tin shops will be
30x50 feet and built entirely of
brick. The dry lumber shed will
be of brick, 50X40 feet. The saw
shop will be near the lumber shed
and built Of brick, 60XI20 feet,
The largest building, the repair
and car shops, will be constructed
of steel. 1t will be l25x5oo feet,
and will have heavy crane con
structed in front Of it for the lift
ing of heavy engines, cars and
machinery. The blacksmith shop
is planned for 60x100 feet and
will be built of brick.

dishonest men, grafteis are to be
found, and restrictions for all are
essential in order to prohibit the
few. In reply to a query, Mr..
Huston stated it as his belief that
a trustee who is the owner of a
gravel pit may lawfully sell there
from gravel to be used to the
superintendent in road making
and repair.
The penalty provided ty law for
non feasance or mis- feasance in Of
flee of superintendent of roads
is fine of from vs. to $50, and
Imprisonment not to exceed five
days.
The speaker emphasized one
fact very distinctly in relation to
the legal aspects of roads; that is,
that no individual can acquire a
prescriptive rightln a public road.
Land owners whose fences have
encroached upon d-ways may
be compelled at any time to remove
those fences. 1t is provided by
statute that in cases where the
records of a road are Il st, the road
sha | be located from the the exist
ing center, and in the absence of
facts to the contrary shall be sixty
feet in width.
Mr.. Huston recommends the
maintenance of the clay ronds we
now have, for the very good rea-
son that with our present tax
valuation of property the county
is unable to construct the so-called
permanent roads. The care of
the clay roads is the matter OF
present vital Importance to the
public. improvement of the ori
ginal grades is another matter
that can well be taken up by the
officers, individually. The great
Importance of proper drainage
and crowning of the roadways,
was emphasized. Another practi
cal admonition given by the speak
er was, to use for the repair OF
roads the same material of which
the road is constructed. Work in
the spring, when the soil is damp,
was recommended, as it has a
tendency to ''puddle" the ground,
and make II firm surface, Mr..
Huston closed his address with
words on the excellence of the
liking drag" properly used, and
the utter folly of hauling heavy
loads on narrow-t tired wheels.
Commissioner Fred Weymullei
acted as chairman of the meeting.
At its close unanimous vote of
thanks was rendered the speaker
for his presence and timely words
of advice.

GOOD ROADS
MEETING.
Enthusiasm that Will Mean
Something.

On Monday afternoon, as wss
previously announced, State High
way Commissioner, Sam Houston,
of Columb bus, came to Logan and
addressed large audience at the
court house. There were present,
representatives of all the town
ships of the county except Salt
Creek. Township trustees, road
uperinteudents farmers and Lo-
gan citizens were present.
Mr.. Houston began his remarks
with talk on the provisions of
the present road laws of Ohio,
dwelling especially on the restruc-
tions and changes introduced by
the recent act abolishing the old
office Of supervisor and substitu-
ting that of district superinten-
dent. He presented the very log
ical view that one of the greatest
evils of the elected supervisors
systems was the fact that in a
great many cases that officers fell
victims to the temptation of let
ting the public down easy in order
to gain their support for re-elec
tion.
Under the new provision, the
superintendent IL not elected, but
IS appointed by the trustees, and
aets under their authority. They
may dismiss him at any time, and
he is not accountable directly to
the voters. Consequently he is in
a position to enforce more strictly
the regulations regarding the
working of road taxes. One of
the severely criticized provisions
of the new law is that which pro-
hibits a superintendent from hir-
ing for road work any member of
his own family. Mr., Houston ex.
planned that this became neeess-
ary because in all walks Of lifel

dog ordinance. He will be sworn
in to-day, and any complaints
about dogs running Mt large may
be made to him, and he will see to
it at once. His phone number is
2S5 O.
The resignation of Tom Slosser
as night policeman was presented
and accepted to take effect June L,
Mr.. Slosser has accepted posi-
tion in Columbus, much more lu-
ciative in salary than the night
job here, and his many friends
wish him success in his new posi-
tion.
The vacancy was not filed, the
council adjourning until Friday
night when the matter will be
taken up.

ban police court in the first instance,
where the brides parents says the
Natal Mercury, accused her husband of
abducting her Willie under thirteen
years of age, The bride however,
claimed to be eighteen, and the magis-
trate dismissed the ease. Outside the
court tug Of war took place between
the two PARTIES for the possession of
the bride, ii the coul sc of which it APP
peared that what her parents particu-
larly desired was net herself, but her
jewelry. A sergeant of police then sat
in judgment and decided that the jew
elry belonged to the parents, and tie
girl must choose between her husband
and her bracelets. after some cogita-
tion she chose the husband, who
promptly unfastened the bangles from
her arms and handed them to her
parents.

which were played in their honor. An
