THE DAYTONA.D ICELAND
ROAD RAPIDLY GOING
FROM BAD TO WORSE
SADLY IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE
REPAIRS -AUToMoBILES BAD
LY CUTTING THE ROADWAY.

He'll is paved with good intentions
so is the road between Daytona
and DeLand The magnificent road
bed is fast deterioating and unless
something is done with it immediate
", by springtime the $4,000 spent
by Volusia county in its building will
be as naught.
The heavy travel by automobiles is
cutting the mari very rapidly, espec-
tally when it rains. Immediate re-
pairs could be made and the highway
saved. That mari is not d substan-
tial road material has been proven in
this case, although some may say
that the fault lies in the quality OF
the mari.
The road between DaytOna and New
Smyrna practically takes care of it
self, because it is built for the most
part over shell beds, and shell itself
used for the entire road. 1t has been
suggested that Volusia county would
be wise in investing in an automo-
bile truck, and with it transport shell
from the mound near Port Orange to
the DeLand road. The expense OF
such a truck would be far less than
for hauling mari much lesser distance
with teams, and the road would Ue
far more lasting
The road is growing worse day by
day and it's condition has become the
subject of criticism by most every
one who travels it,.

THE UNITED STATES TO
CLOSE PORTS TO Chinese
HEREAFTER BOSTON WILL BE
ONLY EASTERN PORT FOR VEL.
Low IMMIGRANTS.

BOSTON, Jan. 31-All stations on
the border through which Chinese
have been admitted in the past, with
the exception of Boston, will be clos
ed after today.
The bulk of Chinese immigration
in the eastern part of the country
will therefore be through Boston.
Stations to be closed are those at
Malone, n. Y, Richford, Vt, and
Portland.
This new order was issued by Chas.
Nagel, secretary of the department OF
commerce and labor, whose original
intention was to have all chinese ex-
amined at Vancouver, B. c., and, if
eligible, enter at Seattle. But the
Canadian Pacific Railroad made ar
rangements to carry the aliens across
the continent to Halifax, N. s., from
their ships at Vancouver and from
there to Boston by the Plant line.
Boston being a statutory port could
not be closed on a department order
This ARRANGEMENT will mean an in
crease OF about 500 Chinese appli
cants each year, and the nationality
will form an important proportion ol
foreigners held at the detention quar-
tiers. Chinese Inspector McCabe vii
/ be given more assistants.

JOURNEY FROM LOS ANGELES
TO NEW YORK.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 31-Ed-
ward Payson Weston, whose feats as
pedestrian, have made him famous
throughout the world, completed his
arrangements today for another and
last transcOntinental walk. Starting

ocean to ocean in one hundred days.
He will be given a great send off by
his thousands of admirers in South
ern California.
The actual start from Los Angeles
will be westward, so that Santa Mon
lea, a California coast city, can first
be reached. In this way the ocean
to ocean circuit will be literally Gov
cred. With the Pacific ocean rolling
at his feet, Weston will then turn
eastward for his tTanscontinental
dash.
When the walk ends on the steps
Of the city hall in New York City on
May 28th, Weston will thus both tech
nically and actually have walked
across the continent from the Pacif

ROBBED BY
MAN He HAD
BFFRIENDED.
STRANGER BROUGHT HERE FROM
ATLANTA SOME WEEKS AGO
DEcAMPs WITH HIS EMPLOY.
ER'S MONEY.

F. F. Smith, saw mill owner, who
lives a short distance south west OF
this city, was robbed Friday after,
noon of between $3.50 and $500. by a
man he had brought home with him
from Atlanta, Ga, about three weeks
ago.
Mr. Smith met the man, or rather
boy, for he says he was but eighteen
years of age, in the railroad depot OF
Atlanta, while waiting for a train to
return to Daytona, and the fellow.
who appeared like a green country
youth, appealed to him for work.
Mr.. Smith told him he was on his
way to Florida where he conducted
saw mill and would give him work
in the mill at $3.50 per day. He said
he would be glad to get away from
Atlanta, but had no money, so Mr.,
Smith paid his railroad fare and ex>
penses to this city with the under
standing that it was to be repaid from
his wages.
There was no regular work for him
at the present so Mr.. Smith kept
him busy as much as possible about
the house and Mrs. Smith says she
several times reproved him for his
prying ways, but merely thought IL
arose from an undue amount of Curl
osity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith have been pre-
pairing to move a house on the De-
Land road, a couple Of blocks west OF
| RidgewoOd avenue, and on Friday Mr.
Smith set him at work piling some
wood at this place. Mr.. Smith went to
| New Smyrna for the day and at noon
| Mrs. Smith took some dinner to the
young man on her way to mill which
Mr.. Smith has been operating Onthe
| Tomoka river.
A lady living near by, says that
as soon as Mrs Smith had gone the
boy also left, evidently to go directly
to the residence, knowing that neith>
er Mr.. or Mrs. Smith would be
home before night.
When Mrs. Smith did return at a.
bout half-past four the boy was not
about but had left his suit case ready
packed with clothing belonging to Mr.,
Smith as though he had intended to
take it but for some reason had failed
to do so,
When Mr. Smith returned at be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock she re-
ported the fellows disappearance. Mr.,
Smith at once thought of his safe.
but his wife assured him that it was
all right as she had tried it before
she left at noon and found it secure
~ locked He therefore dismissed the
matter and retired, but the next morn
ing, after he had hitched up his horse
and started for the location of the
new mill to be built near the west
end Of the North bridge the feeling
that he ought TO examine the safe
was so strong that he returned and on
opening it found that something be-
tween $3.50 and $500 was missing The
money taken was all in so bills and
what appears strange is the fact that
five 500 bills in the same drawer
were left untouched, although they
could not have been overlooked.
