To the Eitor> 81 the Baltimore County
Union.
Dear SirS AS a resident OF Balti.
morcc oun,y ! naturally take some
what OF an interest IN the various
schemes proposed for bettering our
roads and am heartily in favor OF any
practicable plan. but certainly il would
seem that our present Road Commits
sion have committed the State and
county 10 system which is too ex-
pcnsivc ii any but few roads are TO
he improved. | have in mind one
piece oi road built in Baltimore county
recently under the so-callcd Shoe
maker / aw which is said to have cost
$4,000. and il is only one mile long.
OF course the instance just cited is
hardly an average case. a. the mile OF
road there improved required two
fairly good-Sizcd bridges. which were
built 81 concrete and also a great deal
OF the money was spent in trying to
get an almost dead level road which
to the writer seemed an unnecessary.
or AT least an unwiSc way I" part with
good cash.
Now. we all want ideal roads, but
the question is how long can the pco-
pies pockctbooks stand such a strain.
and how many miles oi road will he
built on any such expensive plan II
is useless Ia say the county Is going 10
help the State out. etc We cant get
away from the proposition that the
tax PAYERS have got to foot the bill.
Now our So-callcd Scicntii, commits
sion road builders don't always run
the cost mp la $4,000 per mile or any
thing like It. ihcv usually figure on
about 5000 70 5000 r"r mile. but
when wc remember that Baltimore
COUNTY has over 1000 miles oi dcdl-
Gated count, roads not Including tirn-
pixies. il will he seen that We are 60

The good roads system should he
extended t. all parts of the county
md the idea 81 making few through
road, should he abandoned Through
roads are urly useful To- Gutomobilists
and while this is not good reason to
abandon them. vet II must be rcmcr.
hcrcd that railroads carry through trat.

are good roads leading to the various

MAIN LINE
OPEN TONIGHT
TRAIN FROM EAST CAME IN LAST
NIGHT OVER CENTRAL WASH
INGTON - TRAINS TONIGHT
OVER MAIN LINE.

Contrary to expectations the west
bound train last night came in over
the Central Washington. Great
Northern operating officials today
made the official announcement that
tonight all overland trains will be
running as usual over that line be-
tween here and Spokane. For prac-
tically five days, the Great Northern
main line east of Ephrata was out
of commission owing to the most ex-
tensive washouts in the recent his
tory of the road, due to a sudden
flood in Crab creek. The flood died
away and disappeared as quickly as
it came but it has taken a big force
of track laborers more than half a
week to repair the damage done and
allow the safe and regular passage of
trains.
1t was thought yesterday that sew
eral days would elapse before trains
would be running to Spokane, but
the damage was not as extensive as
at first thought.
The trouble to the west is not
serious. There are slight slides every
day but these are soon cleared.

WILL VOTE ON QUESTION
Of CLOSING CITY SALOONS
City Council Has Called For Special
Election Monday, February Eighth
Financial Matters Were Discussed
Last Night and Saloon Money is
Deemed Unnecessary.

Councilmen Thomas, Holcomb and
Mcclellan were elected on dry"
platform. Councilman Buttles, Par
shall and Russi were elected a year
ago when the question of saloon Ii
cense was not an issue. Terry
Ross was recently elected and has
not expressed himself on the ques-
ton. The councilmen did not feel as
though they cared to dispose of this
question by a councilmanic act but
prefer to submit the question for
popular vote.
The polls for this election will be
open during the same hours as
general election Should the meas
ure carry, the council will then desig-
nate date not very far in the future
when the saloons will all close. Under
the state law the city council can
close a saloon whenever it desires,
and its action is not subject to a re-
view of the courts. The unearned
portion of the license will have to
be repaid.
The action of the council last night
has stirred the town. Everybody on
the street today is talking over the
coming election and making guesses
as to the outcome of the vote.

DALLAM HAS QUIT.

LEGATION of his paper. Mr.. Dallam is
the father of Mrs George H. Ellis,
of this city, and is we'll known here.
He is one of the most talented writ
ers of the state and was founder of
the Spokesman-Review, of Spokane.
The following is the Introductory to
Mr.. Dallam's valedictory:
with this issue the Palmer Noun
tain aProspector passes out of exist
ence after a plucky struggle Of over
eleven and a half years. Had the
proprietor studied his own interests
this obituary would have been writ
ten years ago, for he has had many
flattering offers to go elsewhere, and
it has been only by the most exact
ing application and grinding personal
labor, without the encouragement OF
adequate compensation, that the pa
per has continued to exist. If the
simple truth is told the age it has
attained is due almost entirely to a
foolish pride that has long shrank
from acknowledging failure in q
newspaper enterprise.

Gamble, late division engineer on the

for West Beverly. at the west end of
the Milwaukee bridge over the Col

the inference here is that the road
intends going after its share of the
immense tonnage produced in that

Leavitt, who is a young looking

''She is hardly responsible" he
said. Why. only three days ago she

filing the embezzlement charge can
not be considered in any sense as
move to take the place of calling a

''It is apparent that with grand

Gordon appears cheerful but de-
