FINAL DECISION | S
MADE ON IVY WAYS
.UNPAvED STRETCH
STATE DEPARTMENT TO CUT
SPRING VALLEY AND DE PuE
OFF RoUTE-ENDS LONG BAT
TIE FOR HIGHWAY.

The middle route, running north oil
De Pue and Spring Valley, has been
selected by tho state highway depart
ment for the connecting link in the
Ivy Way A telegram from spring
field brought the news from Frank I.
Sheets. state superintendent of the d.
vision Of highways, who also annouhc.
ed that surveys, plans and right o.
way plats will be rushed to compile
ton at once.
The decision of the state highway
department, which has been penang
for more than two years, eliminated
De Pue and Spring Valley from the
Chicago-St Louis federal aid nara
road. but, according to the telegram
from Mr. Sheets, provision viii be
made for connection into De Pue
from the north.
&C. L. Melcher, Bureau county super
intendent of highways, who is familiar
with the plans of the state highway
engineers, reports that the route, from
the end of the present hard road near
the top of tho De Pue hill, will prop,
ably 20 northeast of the LocRharo
school and fellow the section me
highway east from that point TO the
Genslinger farm, thence across the
Niger creek valley to Ottyille. There
il will join the old Ottyille road, pass
ing north OF Spring Valley to the Sit
terly farm, where it will cut on across
Spring creek bottoms, pass Mount
Oliyet cemetery, and connect with the
Pern-Spring Valley section OF the
hard road at Guenther's curve.
This route will require nearly two
4 miles of new right Of way through the
timber from the Genslinger farm IN
Selby township to the Winser farm IN
Hall town and at various ether points
along the route. This the county Will
be expected to buy or private parties
contribute The Bureau county board
of supervisors will be asked to sane
ton the purchase when the board
meets at the Princeton court house
next week. nr
There will be some stiff opposition
from the supervisors from Hall and
Selby townships, who have been. IN
sisting that the road should be built
through De Pue end Spring Valley as
originally contemplated. but the prob
abilities are that the decision OF the
state officials will prevail.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon the highway &c
partment during the last few months
to secure favorable action on the De
Pue route. Several delegations have
been sent to Springfield to confer witt
the state highway officials and politl
cal candidates and other prominent
politicians have made visits to thf
capital to plead the cause of the val
ley towns.

NEW YORK., July 19-Clarkel Grif-

dis shows that party politics still has
its Influence in the American League.
Instead of critizng the action taken
by the commissioner in warning the
New York. Yanks and the Boston Red
Sox clubs to cut out gambling on horse
races, Griffith should have commend
ed the big boss.
Landis is attempting to divorce the
diamond from the track and it seems
that he is stepping on some toes that
can't stand the pressure.
While there are several angles 20
consider, one feasible one is that Ban
johnson found his first opportunity
to let d. volley fly at the commissioner
and used Griffith for his medium.
johnson never was in favor of the
commissioner idea of running base
ball, but he was blackjacked into it byl
the National League. What resent
ment he might bear against the usur-
patton of the power he once held
might have been accentuated by the
fact that Lands picked out two AM |
erican League teams for his initial |
warning.

Killifer's outfit was touted as a pen

pitching staff has been eccentric, and
something has been lacking in the
club playing, no matter how the in
dNidual players may be rated.
The Salt Lake, team, which last
season WED with Portland for sec
ond place, has been one of the big
surprises. Duffy Lewis may not have
the most brilliant players in the
league. but he gets the most out of
them. He has the credit OF having
developed Il real ball club.

the season, as was Seattle. Both
clubs have failed to show any bril-
