HIGHWAY PLANS
RECEIVED HERE
FOR ROCK ROADLEADING
FROM
THIS PLACE TO OZAN
Work To Begin AS Soon AS
Petition Is Properly
Signed Up.

The plans and specifications of
the Washington and Ozan section
of the Jefferson Highway have
been completed by the state High
way Department and filed with
the county clerk. The petitions
will be ready in a few days and
as soon as these have been signed
by the necessary number of pc
titioners the commissioners will
be appointed and work COM
meDced.
This road is to be p feet in
width with a crest of gravel Il
feet wide. On either side will
be a ditch of sufficient width and
debth to carry off all the surface
water. The bridges will be of
steel and the culvertS of concrete
and other durable material. The
cost of the road will be approx
mately 100000 per mile.
Commencing at the 4. & l.. de
pot in Washington, the road is to
run up Franklin street to the in
tersection of Washington street,
west of the Methodist church,
and thence north along this street
to the intersection of the Ozan
road and on to Ozan, distance of
siXsniles.
When completed this will be
one OF the very -DesJ- -f,,c,s-, ir,e une
state and it will be as good at one
season ef the year as another.
The farmers living in touch with
this road will have no trouble in
getting their products 10 market
and Ozan and Washington will
have a highway which will. in
many ways, be a great benefit to
both towns.

EVIDENCE ALL IN
In CONTEST CASE
TRIAL OF CASE SET FOR
JULY 81.
over 10000 DISPOSITIONS
COntestees Fail Utterly To
Prove Majority For
Removal.

The contestants finished tax.
ing dispositions in the county seat
case this week, and the contes.
tees finished on the 30th of June.
The case will be ready for trial
on july 81. the day set by the
court, if the stenographers have
the testimony transcribed; there
will be between five and six
thousand pages of the testimony,
which would require much time
to read, however, it will not be
necessary to read all of it during
the hearing of the case.
The attorneys representing
Hope have taken something over
1900 dispositions, good, bad and
Indifferent, in an attempt to prove
up their 2144 legal (?) votes polled
in DeRoan township in that in
famous county seat election. In
attempting to prove the legal (?)
vote in said township, they have
taken dispositions of witnesses
from practically every township
in the county, some as far n orth
aS McCaskill and some near the
LAFAYETTE county line. aid oc-
caSiOnally one that was over the
line. Among th e depOsitions
taken there are numbers who
could not produce poll tax re-
ceipts and did not appear on the
records as taxpayers.
Several men have been found
who voted in Hope against reno
val whose votes have not been ac-
counted for.
Taking off the dispositions of
of those who voted out of their
townships, those who had no poll
tax receipts, and other irregular
tiles and illegal votes, there is no
question but that the people who
are opposed to removal should
win by a handsome majority.

MINING LUCK MADE SPOKANE
Statement That Washlngton's Inland
City Happened" by Stroke
of Chance.

e1t was an accident that the city
of Spokane, Wash, became great
center of population and industry
an accident due to mining" recently
remarked Henry Hapgood, a mer-
chant of that thriving coast state, the
Washington Post remarks. "When
the Northern Pacific railway reached
through to the coast, back in 1888,
Spokane was struggling village of
a few hundred people, who had seri-
GUS doubts whether Sprague or Cho-
ney Spokane Falls would eventually
be the center of commerce for that
section. Then Old Man Pritchard
made a strike, discovering placer
gold up near Murray in the Occur
d'Alene. The East was just ripe for
a mining boom and the Northern Pa
cific was ready to assist any such en-
terprise. There was rush to Thomp-
son falls over the mountain to Muir
ray, and that country saw the first
real activity in ii&listory.
"The trail over Thompson pass
was bad one, and shere was need of
nearer supply point. Spokane
seized the opportunity BY going after
the trade by wa of Occur d'Alene
lake. That move centered the COM
mercial activities of the inland en-
pire in Spokane"
