WASHINGTON - Spokane has
been demonstrating its apprecia-
ton, not only of the enterprise of
the Washington management, but
of the excellence of it's offerings
by crowding the cosy playhouse at
every performance. Arnold Grazer
and his charming sister, Miss
Ethyl, who are excellent dancers
and musicians, have one of the
daintiest of vaudeville offerings. 1t
must have taken man years of hard
practice for young Mr.. Arnold to
have mastered the difficult art of
toe dancing. 20
ORPHEUM-There is plenty of

oiled roads there are world-famous;
and how do they do it? Why, the
crude oil is shipped right from the
oil fields and sprinkled on the
roads at very nominal cost, No
odor, no dust. l never heard of
them letting out contracts to ex-
perimental gas corporations for
foul-smelling stuff that would
drive a starved dog off of a gar
bage wagon, only to put the city
to the extra expense of sweeping it
up and carting it off like they did
on Havermail. OF course, I'm only

natural curiosity, l would like to

Mrs. Leila A. Sturges died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. G. ".
Collins, in Middleburg, where she was
visiting, at ten O'Clock Saturday
evening, March 18th. She was sick
only few days being taken with
grip which developed into pneu-
monia. The body was brought to
Henderson and taken to the residence
of her son, Capt. W. X. Sturges, with
whom she made her home, on the al
ternoon train.
The death of Mrs. Sturges is
peculiarly sad and came quite un-
exppctedly to her family and friends.
She had planned a trip abroad and
went to visit her daughter before
starting for England which she
aimed to do within the the next two
weeks. Before going to Middleburg
she called on her lawyer and made
her will saying as she was going to
take so long a journey and life was
so uncertain she thought it would be
we'll to do this-that she would feel
better having done SO at any rate.
Mr.. Sturges was the widow OF the
late Col. William E. Sturges, and was
about 50 years old. She formerly
lived at the Ports gold mine in
Franklin county, which property
was owned by her husband, but since
his death she had made her home
here with her son, Capt. Sturges.
She was a good woman and was
greatly beloved by those who knew
her.
She is survived by seven children,
five sons and two daughters. These
are: Capt. W. K. Sturges and Mr..
S. E. Sturges of Henderson, Mr.. J. R.
Sturges of Norfolk. Mr. P Sturges,
Mr.. c. r. Sturges, and Mrs. G. w.
Collins of Mindleburg, and Mrs. l..
A Lewis, of Franklin county.
The funeral was held from the home
at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Rev.
l. W. Hughes conducting the service.
Pal-bearers were Col. Henry Perry,
DR.. f. r. Harris, Messrs. w. s.
Parker, Edwin Stephens, John T.
Thomas, J. L. II. Missillier, |. J.
Young, Maj p. T. Jones. Interment
was made at the cemetery. There
was an elaborate and beautiful dis
play of flowers attesting the love
and esteem in which deceased was
held.

''Graustark" Coming.

Baker & Castles production of
George Barr McCutcheon's "Grau-
stark" is booked for an early en-
gagement in this city. The play is
adapted from the popular novel Of
the same name and deals with the
love of a young American and a
Princess. Although on it's second
season, the original company is still
intact, and local theatregoers will
see the same players that made such
a favorable impression and attrac-
ted so much attention in New York
and Chicago. "Graustark' proved
to be the sensataion of the country
when first presented in Pittsburg a
year ago, and is today one of the
most talked of plays on the Ameri-
can stage.

A Word For Good Roads.
Communicated.

I
The question OF good roads is one of the
most, il not the most. important that
has ever come before the citizens OF Vance
county. 1t is a. problem that has been
discussed far and wide by the best and
| ablest men of this and other countries,
and is still an unsoived problem today.
We all have our ideas as to the survey
and construction OF public highways.
and while it is true that we differ some
| what as to where we should run or how
we should build a certain road, there
| is no doubt in my mind about our get
ting together and coming to an agree
ment in a short while, without any hard
feelings toward any one. and soon have
road that will be profit and pleas
| ure to the whole community If we only
had the money to build it with. Now,
| that we have agreed as to that point,
we want to say Just few words about
the money part OF it.
No doubt all of US have noticed that
| all cities have good roads, streets we
usually call them. and upon first sight
we think the valuable property and
| prosperous business caused or certainly
| helped them to get their beautiful streets.
| We will notice the larger the city and
| the more valuable the property the
| longer, more substantial and beautiful
| the streets. This we all know to be true,
| but why is it? 1t is because the people
neighborly located meet often, and at all
their meetings, as well as in their private
| conversations, they never fail to discuss
and plan how to make their business
more profitable and their property more
valuable.
Now, what have they found and how
ho1 -
| They have found to make their places of
| business more attractive, in order to get
| trade, the most profitable investment
they could possibly make was to put
their money in public property, such as
streets, sidewalks, parks, etc, etc. Now
| if this has proven to be a profitable and
wise investment for the merchant, the
| banker, and even the Office man up in
| the top OF ten story building who has
never owned horse or buggy, or never
| had anything heavier than o barrel of
| -four hauled to his place of abode, then
why is it not good inves stment for the
| farmer and other property owners OF
| the country who have to haul their cot
| ton, tobacco, guano and everything else
| not two or three blocks as the man of
| the city, but from one to five miles over
roads that you can hardly lead horse?
Why is it that we country people,
| after such proof as the city has given,
| are afraid to invest in the building of
good roads? And | don't believe we are,
we just have not taken the time to think
what it means to US. Now let us get to-
gether and decide this question, that
means so much to every man, woman
| and child in this county, by going down
into our jeans, by voting an issue of
| bonds for the necessary amount to build
good roads all over the Vance county.
