made the roads too heavy for auto
mobiles to get through. Word has
been received that the delegation will
be Wednesday, Oct. 25, arriving at

about 80 minutes here and the time
will be devoted to speeches. Marvin
has been greatly honored by being
placed upon this program, and our
citizens are jubilant over the prospect
Of getting this great roadway through
the village. One can easily imagine
the great good this will be to the
county, as no doubt many towns which
cannot be located on the new road,
will build branch lines running to it,
and thereby gain as much satisfaction
as though on the line. The building
of this road by experts will give a
lesson to Us al. in the art of proper
road building. Especially will this
lesson be of great advantage to the
hill people who have expended so many
thousands of dollars upon their roads
without getting the results that have
been expected. Remember the day and

IT was at first given out that
woman suffrage was defeated in
the late California election, but
the corrected returns show that
not only the initiative and refer
endum and recall were voted for,
but that female suffrage went

as you may desire to call them,
California was for years notably
the worst railroad ridden state
in the Union, completely under
