Not Least Doubt But That Election Will Carry When Called-Selma Collecting Fund to Aid the
 Flood Sufferers

Selma. April 2s.-t Special )---An elee- ton for second issue of bonds for the building and improving of the roads of the county may be asked for by the court of county commissioners the first bond issue of $250.O00 has been exhausted and the road system of the county has not been completed
 Citizens in various sections of the county have during the past few days voluntarily taken up the work of cir eulating petitions for the signatures of voters, asking the court of county cou- missioners to order an election. It Is proposed that the second issue of bonds will be for either s1o000o or $15O,O 900. The required number of names to the no question but the county authorities will order the election to be held
 The first bond issue for s25OOOO has been judiciously. expended by the coun- " authorities in building roads Many thousand dollars of this issue was used for the construction of lasting steel and concrete bridges over the various creeks, branches and rivers of the county and whereby not a dollar will have to be expended for years to come
 But while many good and permanent roads have been built throughout the county by the first bond issue the sys- tenn of roads as mapped out has not been completed. The uncompleted parts of these roads are the remotest from Selma and If they are not finished will cause hardship to residents living in those sections.
 Citizens of Selma well as the rural residents close to the city recognize the importance of completing the net work of good highways which have been mapped out for the county. In the spirit of brotherly love those who are receiving the benefits of the new roads are circulating the petitions ask ing for a second bond issue. When the election is called there Is not the least doubt but the bond issue will carry and the chain of good roads through out the county will be completed.
 Rev. Bernard Gruenstein, pastor of the First Christian church, has been appointed as agent for the fund for the sufferers of the Mississippi river flood. During the past two days cit izens have volunteered subscriptions amounting to little short of $100 and this amount will be increased rapidly during the next few days.

closely akin to the Root-McGovern
contest at Chicago. The question will
be:
"Can delegates elected under in
structions for Wilson in a progress

Not all the Oregon delegates are
personally for Wilson. The most
prominent exception is Frederick V

for Harmon, but has declared he vii
