MILLION FOR GOOD ROADS
WITHIN FIVE YEARS

HOQUIAM, Nov. 29.-County Com
mission c. l.. Davis says there will
be great rapidity in the development
of road building in Chehalis county
during the next five years, at which
time he is of the opinion that more
than 81 100000 will have been eXpend-
ed for good roads. He says:
This is a considerable sum TO
spend on roads alone in five years
time. One trouble with all western
states and counties is that they are
developing so rapidly that sufficient
money can not be raised by taxation
to properly improve the roads, ana
for other purposes. A few years ago
the county did not have cent or
Indebtedness. The people have de-
manded progress in improvements,
however. and it has been up to the
commissioners to have the improve.
ments made. even where money mad
to be borrowed to do the work. 1t VIII
be a matter of time before the roads
in this county are perfected, ana the
remarkable growth of the country
with the necessarily SLOW advance III
the assessed value must be taken III
to consideration.

GROWTH
OF 0AKVILLE
Thriving Town in East End
Of County Enjoying
Prosperity.

OAKNILLE, Wash, Nov. 2S.-Be-
ing known as the garden spot of West
ern Washington because of it's wealth
of products of the earth-hay, grain,
fruits, berries, vegetables and flowers
-Oakville has reason for the great
hope of its people that it is to be-
come one of the most important agri-
cultural and horticulture sections in
the state. 1t is now reaching out for
that goal, two of the biggest aids to-
ward it the town is seeking being the
annexation of more territory, to vote
on which question special election
will be held next month. and the con-
struction of only a few miles of road
way that will connect this productive
territory with all the country south
and southwest clear to Willapa Har-
Dor, opening up markets to the farm
ers and giving facilities for quick
travel that must, on account of its 10.
cation, make Oakville and the sur
rounding country jump in growth.
Located in the very heart of the
Chehalis valley, in the southeastern
part of Chehalis county, all of which
is rich in the productiveness of the
soil, Oakville, which is an incorporat-
ed city OF 600 people. also occupies
a commanding position as the mid
way point between the large cities of
Puget Sound and those on Grays Har
Dor, with Portland on the south. 1t
can be seen that no section can boast
of more competing markets for farm
products than can Oakville, which is
also the trading and distributing point
for large portion of the county and
valley of the Chehalis. This city is
on the Grays Harbor branch of the
Northern Pacific railway and there
are six passenger trains day.
The thing that interests Oakville
and the surrounding country just now
is what is known as the proposed cut
off from Olympia to South Bend via
Oakville, which is described as the
most direct and practical road con-
Meeting the Willapa Harbor country
with Puget Sound. The distance from
Olympia to South Bend over the pro-
posed route would be only 81 miles.
while the distance over State Aid
Road No. S, via Centralia and Che
halls, which is under construction,
will be 70 miles. or a saving of %
miles in favor of the proposed cutoff.

.LIFELESS BODY
OF BOY FOUND
Had Bullet Hole Through His
Head--Police Think Case
of Suicide.

The lifeless body of Andrew Sega,
aged 10 years, was found lying on a
sidewalk near the O.-W. r. & N.
bridge at an early hour yesterday
by John Malezjewski, watch
man for the Hubert Mill company.
Death was caused by a bullet which
entered the head above the ear on
the left side and came out at the
back of the head on the right side.
At the side of the lifeless body lay
n 80 calibre revolver, the gun, no
doubt, with which the deed was done.
AT this time, there is considerable
mystery as to whether the deed was
self destruction, or murder. Chief of
Police Templeman is inclined to be-
lieve that the youth committed sui
eide, but, he and his entire force are
at work on the matter. hopeful of
securing evidence, should the case
turn out a murder
Sega, who had arrived in Aberdeen
'hnt few days before from Raymond,

who works in this CITY, and num-
Der of companions. He was residing

Neighbors, who reside in the neigh
borhood where the body was found,
say that at nine o'clock Tuesday ev-
ening they heard three shots fired.
short space of time, then the third
shot.
Nothing was thought of the matter
and the police were not notified un-
til they began an investigation fol-
lowing the finding of the body.
Sega was attired in a new suit,
but there was not bit of evidence
either on his body or in his room to
indicate contemplated suicide.
The wound back of the left ear Is
evidence that Sega must have been
left handed, as he would not have shot
himself from such a position, had
he been right handed. The gun was
placed against the head when it was
fired, which bear out the contention
of suicide.
Soga's brother was interviewed by
the police today and said that he
thought his brother had little mon
ey, but he never knew he had gun.
A watch worth 81. which the deceas-
ed carried, is said to be missing, al
though the chain was found on the
body.
1t is supposed that Sega, while de-
spondent, sought some out of the way
place to end his life and in some I'M
accountable way wandered to the
Southside, where he killed himself.
The body is at Whiteside's morgue.

 URGES WORK
TELLS NEGROES HONEST ENDtA, voR IS THE KEY TO PEACE
 AND PROSPERITY.
Falthfulness to the Trusts Imposed the Anchor That Safeguards Them to the Friendships
 of the Whites.

----+--.-
 The dignity of labor and the dis grace of id.eness and yagrancy were subjects of lengthy discourse to tihe negroes of this vicinity yesterday at- ternoon by Booker T. Washington head of the Tuskogee Institute and one of the foremost negroes of tnls country.
 Several hunired white people were present and gave as careful attention to the speech by Washington as even the most enthusiastic of his race, anc We're loud in their plaudits of his ability and capability after they had heard him.
 The occasion was the visitation to this city oI the delegates to the Ma. tional Negro Business Mems League which had just closed it's annual con vention in Little Rock. The dele gates arrived on a special train about II o'clock and there was a large crowd of whites and blacks about the depot when the train pulled in. A parade through the city to Whit tington park, led by Booker T. Wash lngton in an open carriage to which were driven two white horses, was the feature of the morning ceremon lal. Luncheon was served at the park.
 H The main program of the day was that which featured the address ot Washington in the afternoon. The large grand stand was comfortably filled with both whites and blacks half an hour before time for the speaking to begin, and before the main address was begun the crowd snrged far out into the ball field. af. ter having packed bleachers and the grand stand to an uncomfortable de. gree.
 | As speaker Booker Washington Is l forceful. He dFives home logical points with plain terms. anA he in. I ltersperses his remarks with enough humor, directed at both sides of his Il audience, to keep them in expect ancy He has splen>l fund of in. lteresting and humorous stories aBout is race which he tells to bring to a point an argument he has made. ana carry its convincing weight to all. H Wasningtons emphasized remarks are to his people to work work, work. He tells them thar Alere is dignity in labor. and there is happiness and eontentment in iahor and that fslere Is disgrace in idleness. He urges them to save q Ear. of their produce and purchase homes and become such fixture among the people and such a part of the saaers. conditions that surround them that there will be no question of race issue.
 Washington Is not believer in the race question. He declares this country the place for the negroes, that they were brought here, aud have a part to fulfill, and tn h~<f they pro. ceed honestly and earnestly to fult.G That part there will be no place Tn their attention nor the attention or those about them for any race qles tions.

After years of effort, a success has finally been achieved in the attempt to reproduce on the stage of a theatre a three ring circus in active opera tion, and local theatre goers will be treated to one of tue theatrical sen sations of recent years when Miss Ida St. Leon in Frederick Thompson s "Polly of the Circus comes to the Armory Theatre on Sunday evening Oct. 29, where it will he presented in iden nticallv the same manner that at tracted enthusiastic crowds to the Liberty Theatre, in New York City, for one solid year.

 Miss Ida St. Leon portraying the title part will give lovers ot an even- ing of pleasure in the theatre treat cord breaking success. Frederick Thompson's "Poliy of the Circus" is presented at the ArmOry Theatre on Sunday evening Oct. 29.
 No play of the last twenty years has clicited such unanimous approval from all classes as has this refresh ingly told story of the romance Of a pretty little ciI GUS rider and a village clergyman in the middle West, and the fact that Polly of the Circus' is to he DreStnttu here on exactly the same scale of lavish magnitude that made memorable it's years long run at the Liberty Thea tre, New York City, would seem to assure for it the largest attendance of this season.

Ross For Supreme Judge

The Hon. H. D. Ross, District At torney of Yavapai County, who has announced his intention of becoming candidate for the office of Supreme Judge, of which there are three to be elected, was a visitor with hIs many Winslow friends this week. So far MT. Ross is the. only candidate re- presenting the northern district, and having lived in the north since 1885 he will no doubt make a winning race, especially in the north.
 MT. Ross came to Flagstaff in the year 1885 and was elected District Attorney of what was then a part of Yavapai County and held the offic e uutil 1888. In 1891 when Coconino County was formed, he was elected District Attorney of the new County without opposition. He was elected a member of the Legislature in 1892 from Coconino and secured the Re form School for that County, which was later and is now known as the Flagstaff Normal School. From Co., conino MT. Ross moved to Prescott, HavapaI I~County, in lS94 and was elected District Attorney and served in 1897 and 1898. He was again elect ed for the same offie in 1908 and is the present District Attorney.
 He is, at the present time the Pre- sident of the Arizona Bar Associa- tion and also President of the School Board of the Prescott Grammar and High Schools. Although there is no salary attached to the latter position, MT. Ross considers it one of high esteem and trust.
 This is the record of the man, who will, in a short time, address the people of WInslow, at the Frontier Celebration and ask the support of the people of Winslow for the office for which he is aspiring. Few there are, who have as good a record as he, and none Winslow Mail.
