DOUGLAS AFTER
BETTER ROADS

A good roads convention has been
called to meet in independence at
O'Clock, Monday. December Z. This
convention is called for the purpose
of discussing methods and to create
sentiment at the coming session of
the legislature to secure legislation
for improvement of the public high
ways of Polk county and the state
at large, for state appropriation for
road work, for a state road super.
visor and for legislation looking to
the employment of state and county
criminals on the roads OF the coun-
try. At this time Il Is intended that
an organization be effected to work
in harmony with the state organiza-
ton In securing state benefits TO

vention will be Judge Scott OF Salem

ate program for the entertainment
