Folk County Residents Seek Olcott's
Aid In Compelling Highway Board
10 Change Proposed Route Of Road

independence, Or, May 27.-Inter-
est in the highway fight between the
citizens of Polk county and the high
way commission is growing intense.
Independence business men started
out this morning with a petition which
will be presented to the governor as
soon as 5000 signatures can be attach
ed. and from the interest shown in the
matter it is believed that they will not
be long in securing the stated number
of signers.
The petition reads as follows:
When the measure known as the
road bonding act was proposed in 1917
session of the Oregon legislature much
opposition was encountered in the
house Of representatives. Numerous
conferences were held between spon-
sors of the bill and members of the
house, and a draft of the proposed act
was submitted and discussed. No pro-
vision was made at first as to which, il
any, towns in Polk county should be
on the Pacific highway, and favor
able vote of majority of the repre-
sentatives could not be counted on. To
secure the support of the representa- =
tives of Polk county, viz: Hon. Conrad
Stafrin of Dallas and Hon. Walter V.
Fuller of Dallas, the proponents of the
measure then agreed with these men,
bers that Dallas, Monmouth and fnue.
pendence should be on the highway,
and changed the draft of the bill to
effectuate this understanding. Messrs.
Stafrin and Fuller then joined with the
other thirty-five representatives in in

by the house on February II, later

Wounds Of War
Slow In Healing
Declares Taft

The wound made by the world wal
will heal slowly and from the bottom
clear to the surface, according to for
mer President William Howard Taft
in an informal talk before the Duluth
Commercial club last Wednesday. The
former president made very fine ad-
dress. presenting rather optimistic
picture of present conditions. He
warned the business men against de-
spondency over the widespread unrest
of today
II once had a serious operation, !"
Mr.. Taft said, land the doctors kept
the wound open. In that way it healed
from the bottom Of granulation, so
that it left only slight car.
"Ive are healthy body polite. The
wounds of war, unrest and bolshevism
will heal, but they must heal slowly.
They must not be permitted to close
over the surface, to tester underneath.
We are suffering from reaction from
the war, ii is true, but in reality, it Is
not serious.
You men can make it serious for
yourselves, however, long faces, des-
pondency, depression, knocking -- all
these keep the sore open. The situa-
ton is serious-only as you make 1t
So"
Duluth papers warmly praised Mr.
Taft's addresses, both the noon lunch
con talk, and his big lecture in the
evening under auspices Of the Ameri-
can Legion. The press predicted that
Taft is still a great power in American
politics and that he has not lost any
of his former popularity.
He is on his lecture tour for the af-
filiated bureaus and will visit most of
the states and several Canadian pro-
vinces before finishing. His coming ap-
pearance in Salem Saturday is creating
a big wave of interest among Marion
county people.

Head Likely to
Tall Is Belief

The removal of Henry j. Schulder-
man as state corporation commission
er by Governor Olcott in the not fat
distant future and the substitution In
that office of a man who, at least, Is
not antagonistic to the present state
administration, Is a prediction freely
heralded about the state capitol these
days.
schulderman has always been rec
ognized as anti-Olcott and the gov
ernor's failure to remove him from
office long ago has been source OF
much surprise to the friends Of the
executive. The intimations and insln-
uatlons sepread broadcast by schul-
derman in his campaign for the re-
publican nomination as secretary Of
state, indirectly reflecting upon the
olcott administration. however, are
believed to have been sufficient prov
ocation to justify action by the gov
ernor at this time that he might have
been averse to taking before.
The declarations carried In schuid-
erman advertisements preceding the
primary election referring to rubber
stamp" me too and second the
motion" officials can be construed
only as a direct slap at Sam A. Kozer
the republican nominee for secretary
of state, and, incidentally, an indirect
slap at Governor Olcott, whose dep
uty and chief reliance In the seere-
tary of states office Kozer has been
for eight years. These sarcasms, it is
believed, will prove the straws that
will break the patience Of the gov
ernor.
schulderman was appointed corpor-
alton commissioner by Governor
withycombe. May j. 1915, and reap
pointed in January, 1917, his present
term expiring the first Monday In
January 1921.

spell victory in the convention which;
opens here one week from next Tues

The last of the 9S4 delegates who
will sit in the convention were select
ed yesterday when Vermont republi

Major General Leonard Wood, pres
ent returns show, will enter the con-
vention with more instructed delegates
than any other candidate, but his total
of 1853 is less than one third of the
number necessary to win the nomlna
ton.
Many Ballots Expected.
The division of strength among the
large field of "favorite sons" practical
ly precludes any possibility of nomi-
nation on the first ballot Even the
most optimistic campaign managers
here are not claiming victory before
the third ballot and the more conserv-
ative party leaders predict the break
will not come before the fifth or sixth
at the earliest.
One hundred aad forty-five contests
have been or will be filed or more
than one seventh of all the seats in the
convention. The national committee
which meets here Monday will decide
these contests and prepare the tempo
rary roll
The principal contests are between
supporters of Major General Wood and
Governor Frank o. Lowden. Senator
Johnson and other candidates are moi
directly interested in these contests,
but may raise questions regarding prl'
mary contests in South Dakota. New

 to sixty days on the county road for carrying a concealed pistol. The hear ing was before Justice Raymond Clay
 of Meridian. Larkin was run down and | captured Monday by Sheriff Martin and
 Police Chief Monette many miles from the scene of the alleged burglaries. l Suit has been brought by Nellie Par ker, a minor child, through her father, J. E. Parker, as next best friend, against Levi Rothenberg, merchant of Meridian, for s25,0O0 alleged personal injuries sus- tained when the defendants automobile, driven by a negro chauffeur, down and severely injured the child. The acci- dent occurred some months ago while the little girl. was en route home from school, being struck while crossing a prominent street in the residence sec tion.
 The city council has. adopted an ordi- nance which exempts the J. H. Miner Saw Works of Meridian from municipal taxation for a period of five years. This is one of the city's newest manu- featuring plants and secures exemption by reason of the city's policy of en- couraging in this way the location of in- dustries here. This concern moved it's plant here from Lumberton, purchased a site and has erected a model factory that gives employment to large mum Der of skilled mechanics and large office force.
 Information reached the police depart ment here today from Waynesboro of the escape from the state lime crushing plant, near that place in Wayne county, of two desperate negro convicts, James Town and Tom Ray, sent up from this county the former for burglary and the latter for working a confidence game. Town made a dash for liberty from un- der the gun of the guard. was fired at several times, but escaped into the woods apparently uninjured. syste- matic hunt for the black was started, the woods for miles around being secured. The search continued into the night, with no one left at the camp to guard the remaining convicts but one night watchman Sometimes during the night Town slipped into the camp and under the cover of darkness, drew a staple from the lock of the cell In which Tom Ray was confined and liberated him. The two then robbed the watchman's house of clothing and left.
