Adopting the report of their COM
mittee without dissenting voice the
Umatilla County Good Roads associa-
ton went on record at its meeting
this afternoon as favoring certain pro-
visions which will secure for the
county better public highways
throughout. One Of the principal rec
concentrations adopted was that the
county levy special tax of $4,000
for road purposes and another that
the services of a county roadmaster
be dispensed with. Smaller road dis
tricts, more and better road tools. and
increased salaries for road supervis-
ors were among the other matters
recommended
At the time of going to press the
members were discussing a resolution
presented to the effect that the as
ISOLATION go on record against the
proposed state aid to counties for the
purpose of building roads. The pre-
vailing sentiment was that state aid
as at present outlined will not be of
any benefit to eastern Oregon while
eastern Oregon would have to pay her
portion OF the taxes to build a great
automobile way for western and
southern Oregon. Senator-elect Bar
rett and ]. T. Lieuallen were the lead
ers in the fight against state aid but
others were equally urgent in its IA
vor.
Practically the entire legislative
delegation for the county was present
and about % members of the associ-
alton We're in attendance. President
Henry Taylor occupied the chair.
Report of Committee.
The following is the committees re-
port in detail:
We, the undersigned, your. commit
tee on resolutions and recommended
tions. respectfully submit the follow
ing report:
Section 1. We would recommend
that the County Court levy a special
tax of seventy thousand $50, ,0O0) dol
lars to be used for road purposes.
Section II. We would recommend
that the County Court dispense with
the services of our county road master
as We feel that the results are not as
satisfactory to the tax payers as the
results obtained under the district
road supervisors.
Section III. We would recommend
smaller road districts, more and bet
ter road tools, especially road grad
ers.
Section ". We would respectfully
recommend to the Umatilla county
members of our next state legislature
that they see to it that the road law is
so ammended as to make the road
supervisors compensation three ($s)
dollars per day, instead of two and
50-100 (s2.50) dollars per day. We
would further recommend that the
County Court be given power to COM
pei any citizen in any road district to.
serve as road supervisor for his dist
rict at least one year out of three. un-
less some good and valid excuse can
be given to said court for failure of
said citizen to so serve.

M. j. Sullivan Will Preside
Over Box Office Des-
tiny at Grand.
BEST SHOWS FOR LEAST MONEY
The Lid is on for Burlesque
and Saturday Matinees
Are to be Feature.
Manager Sullivan Leaves Tonight for
New York to Secure Grand Book
ings-"Uncle AT and His Min
strels to Make Opening Noise.

Theatre going Marion can sit M and
take notice. The Grand Opera House
company is to retain the MANAGEMENT
of the Grand this season, which
means Mr.. M. T. Sullivan will be at
the helm, for time at least. If every
body crosses his fingers and knocks
on wood and shows in dollars and
cents he wants high grade attrac-
tions, he may be induced to guard
Ine DoX office all season. Manager
sullivan leaves today for New York
where he proposes to corral the best
available attractions of any .knd all
hrms' In other words, the doors at
the Grand are to be wide open. The
hrm that can offer the Grand mana
ger the shows Marion folks want. is
The one. "The best shows for the
least money" that's the ticket.
The first and commendable an
houncement from the management Is
positively no burlesque shows will be
allowed booking at the Grand this
season. Last year there was made
the irredoemable blunder of opening
the season with a buresque of the
particularly hectic type, and ever after
when musical comedy was billed,
the boz office was flooded with anx-
ious inquiries from timid maidens as
TO whether or not q perfect lady could
attend with impunity. Even dainty
little Louise Cunning, with her clean
and pretty offering "Marcelle" was
under suspicion. No near -Salomes or
rarified Gertrude Hofmans or pris-
tine glory-clad choruses at the Grand
this season. The lid Is on for the bur-
lesque. and Manager Sullivan Is sit
ting on the lid.
Another feateure that should bring
| JOY to the heart of the mother, the
school children, and the grille with
the romantic heartbeat, is to be the
Saturday afternoon matinee. So far as
possible the Grand will offer a matinee
every Saturday during the season, at
popular or semi-popular prices.

scrubbing brush, the broom, the dust

TAX COLLECTION
TOTALS $299, 900
Books Are Closed and Delinquent
List Is Being Made Up.

The tax collection for June has been
completed and the auditor and treas
urer have begun the work of check
ing up the delinquencies. This work
will require about one weeks time
after which the books will be return
ed for the semi-annual settlement.
The books of the treasurer show
that there has been collected in taxes
during the June collection. the sum
of $299,0OO. 1t Is probable the de-
linquencies will amount to $4,000.

of detention where these children may
be sent on probation until II can be
determined whether or not they are
fit subjects for the Industrial schools
of the state.
The state maintains the Boys In
dustrial school at Lancaster and the
Girls Industrial school at Delaware.
To send a child to either one of thes
institutions means that he must re-
main in the institution for an indef-
mite time or until he has reached 81
years of age There Is no such thing
as committing a boy or girl to either
of these for O. month or six months,
and the court which commits has no
power to order the release iof any
one. Some are released but IL Is ac-
complished Through petition upon the
part of relatives and their friends.
The Juvenile court, which was es-
tablished in Marion county only a
few years ago, is indeed a busy place
Not week passes that complaint Of
some sort is not made against some
of the boys and girls of the city. 1t
is no uncommon thing for these com
plants to be made daily and at times
from one to a half dozen children will
be brought into the court by the ju-
venile officer.
Frequently these children are guilty
of no crime. They have just become
little too boistrous In their enthu-
siasm and have disturbed the neigh
bors with their pranks. These are
not considered sufficient offenses to
warrant their being committed to the
reform schools for an indefinite time
and thereby branded as criminals and
made to associate with children of
baser inclinations. The juvenile court
has in most instances given the chill
dren some fatherly advice and called
upon the parents to have a little more
care over their children and see that
they do not get started on the wrong
path. There is no middle ground
which can be taken. The child must
either be dismissed or be sent to one
of the industrial schools for an in
definite period or until he has reach
ed legal age.
In some counties houses of deten.
ton are provided and to these the
| court may send the child on proba.
ton If he behaves himself and shows
no signs of criminal tendencies, he
may be released in a week or a month
and in some cases 1t is found neces.
sary to later commit him to one oi
the reform schools. Records in such
houses of detention show that about
fifteen per cent. of the children which
are committed to them are later SEN
to the reformatories, but the grea
mass improves, under the watchfu
care of the superintendent and matror
and are returned to their parents
greatly benefited by the short tim'
spent at the home of detention.
The matter of providing such {
home for the children will be placed
before the county commissioners a
an early date and it Is hoped favor
able action may follow. 1t has beer
suggested that a cottage might be con
structed adjoining the children's hom
on the Delaware pike and they coult
be cared for there under the guid
ance of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Hurr
without additional expense excepting
for their keep.
