PROPOSED name
FOX new HIGHWAY

Editor Essex County Herald:
In accord with my recent
article in which there was an
excerpt from the Sherbrooke
Record, it is proposed to name
the highway, from North STRAIT
ford to Montreal, the Robert
Rogers Trail. AS previously
stated, that part between Nor
ton and Coaticook will soon be
built. If named the Robert
Rogers Trail, a great character
will suitably be honored and a
great historic event will pro-
perly b. recorded.
Following is part of an arti-
Gle which will soon appear in
Canadian papers:
COL. ROBERT ROGERS
The Indian Village of St.
Francis is situated near the
mouth of a river by that name
in the Province of Quebec.
Prior to the Revolution, the In
dians from this village made
frequent excursions to New
England and burned the towns
scalped the inhabitants or car
them away into captivity.
The Rogers expedition went
up by Lake Memphemagog
and Missisco Bay. On the sec
ond of October, 1859, after
much hardship, Rogers and his
company Of two hundred men,
reached the st. Francis. On
October 4th, they reached the
Indian village in the evening.
The Indians were having a eel
ebration and did not retire to
their huts until four o'clock in
the morning. Rogers and his
company surrounded the vii
lage, and set fire to the houses.
The sight of the scalps of 700
British subjects suspended on
poles so enraged the soldiers
that they not only burned ev-
cry habitation, but they slew
all the inhabitants within
reach and departed.
To avoid being discovered
and slain by Indians in ambush,
the party divided, ,one part re-
i turning to the Connecticut by
way of the Passumpsic and the
others through what is now
Island Pond to a fort at the
mouth of the Upper Ammono-
osuc at Groveton. After intense
suffering and numerous fatali-
ties, they again reached Char
lesion, N. H., on the Connecti-
cut.
This incident is really a mem
orable epoch in Indian history.
The expedition successfully put
an end to Indian raids and is
a very important event of pre-
revolutionary days.
Robert Rogers was one of
the leading Military Command.
ers of his time, was absolutely
fearless and encountered all
dangers without hesitation.
His name may we'll receive
honor and distinction from
both United States and Canada

ANOTHER BITULITHIC stunt
General Contracting Company Lays Asphalic Pavement

Hennepm Comty-Active in Range Politics.

The ubiquitous bitulithic boys, headed
by the very smooth Mr.. Leahy, pinch
hitter for the General Contracting Co.
of Minneapolis, are performing stunts
in other places than Duluth. They have
a foot-hoh ON the Mesaba range and
even are silly backing a candidate for
county commissioner in one of the
range districts. These same boosters
for the Barber asphalt interests re.
Gently invaded Willmar, Mimi, where
they took contract at cheaper price
than on the Rockford road out from
Minneapolis. Here g what the Min.
neapolis Tribune says about the Will
mar deal viz:
Bitulithic paving is costing 1870 a
square yard in Hennepin county, while
Willmar, a city 100 miles west of Min
neapolis, can get bitulithic at 1914 a
yard. City officials are today con.
sidering the awarding of contract for
nearly $4,000 square yards of paving,
following the opening yesterday Of pro
posals by IS bidders on various types of
pavement.
The General Contracting company of
Minneapolis, which was awarded the
contract for the Rockford road paving
at $50 a yard, bid 1914 on the Will.

planning to favor Backus and op-
pose the city if elected.
If there has been rakeoff by the ad-
ministration, Frank 81. Reyes will not
get very much in the future for he
soon will step down and out of the
mayors chair.
The Mcdonald supporters claim that
all the members Of the opposition ticket
ran in the interests of the "Company, "
meaning the powerful Backus inter
ests. While those interests are the
most Independently situated when it
comes to cleaning up the town, the
rank and file of the citizens fear that
a Baekus control Of the city would ad.
versely affect the city's tax income
and enable the big interests to get
franchises and other much desired fav-
ors that would not be good for the
common veal. H.
The Mcdonald supporters claim that
Rev. Mr.. Ireland planned much Of the
opposition IS work. o. J. Masters, gen.
orally considered willing Backus
champion, was elected by majority Of
just one vote. Nichols, his opponent
was i'll and got out of bed only on
election day.
Kinney, DR.. Mary and Masters are
Rev. Mr.. Ireland's friends and com.
pany retainers as well, it is alleged.
In support Of this. you can usually
get Kinney as Mastd pool hall after

Donald Cleanup Of Dirty City Becomes Real Issue

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, April
IL. Especial to the Rip-saw. 1.-THE
work Of the Rip-saw in showing up the
shame of this city in the matter of
gambling, moonshining and blindpig,
cling, redlight dives and common graft
ing compelled the citizens to recognize
the situation in the late election. Even
the local papers definitely mentioned
the fact that complaints were made
against the lawless conditions and that
alone, made them something of an is
sue. sr
Mr.. J. A. Mcdonald, the successful
mayoralty candidate said as to clean
ing up the town, viz:
with regards to cleaning up the
town, I shah take immediate action
along this line to the end that there
may be an Improvement In local condi.
tions.'' @-..,s.
That stand was not very definite
but it showed that Mr.. Mcdonald rec.
ognized lawlessness and lack of law en-.
forcement as an issue.
The G. B. Kinney supporters branded
Mcdonald as belonging to "the old
gang and intimated that very little
cleaning up would be done with him
as mayor. Kinney also posed as law
and order candidate, thereby recogniz.
ing the sad state Of affairs as a real
Issue.
Mcdonald, in brief, was tagged as the
candidate Of the lawless, wide-open
immoral folk, while Kinney was tagged

tracing company, said today. "More-
over, the haulage is considerably less
in city as compared with charges for
hauling out to the country. We are

Hanlon & Okes, Minneapolis, made
the low bitulithic bid of 1914. The

NOTED COL0REO MAN
WILL VISIT DULUTH
Doctor Roman Will Lecture
at st. Marks Church
Monday, April "a. ~.

The people of all creeds, races and
nationalities will have opportunity to
hear G. V. Roman, AM, MD, LID,
in Duluth Monday evening April "a, at
st. Mark A. M. E. Church, corner of
Fifth Ave. E. and Sixth st. n
Doctor Roman has the distinction of
being the one philosopher of the black
race. He is thinker, writer and a
speaker. One of his most notable
works is his book entitled: American
Civilization and the Negro.' Con-
corning that work, the Crisis says: -.
"Dr. C. v. Roman has given us the
most comprehensive work on the sub
ject, American Civilization and the
Negro ever written by a colored man.
Both his scholastic and his medical ex-
perience have stood him in good stead
in his study of the Negro in the South
It is expected that DR.. Roman Is lect-
ure in Duluth will be entitled Back to
Taw.'' He will come to Duluth from
Minneapolis, where he will speak on
Sunday, April %. n
The colored people in this city have
been bringing some notable men to Du-
luth. First there was DR.. Dubois, then
the inimitable Simmons and next comes
DR.. Roman. .
All thinking white people should
make it point to hear this able adj
vocate of humanity and the colored
people. All organizations Of colored
people in Duluth should endeavor to
bring out their full memberships to
hear this distinguished member Of their
race. He is not a ragtime artist, but
he bears message and gives his hear
ers a mental feast that beats 'possum
and sweet potatoes, with watermelon
for dessert, as feast for the body.
Remember the time and place, wiz:

luth who did not have their own plants
for making asphaltic concrete.
Then, as later and today, Mr.. Farrell
was as silent as the proverbial clam.
That plant cost the taxpayers about
$14 900 and it was great convenience,
if not an absolute necessity. Although
Mr.. Farrell does not give an accounting
Of his custody of that plant, it is quite
generally understood that he junked it
and sold it for scrap iron, thereby
enabling Mr.. Leahy and the General
Contracting Co. to get strangle hold
on Duluth contracts and contractors.
But the points the Rip-saw wishes to
impress on, the minds of the taxpayers
are these, viz:
Commissioner Farrell has stated that
plant is necessary in repairing asphalt
and bitulithic pavements; he continues
to award contracts for pavements for
which he lacks repair equipment; the
specifications under which the work is
done permit the use of limestone dust
instead of Portland cement; then an
unlimited quantity of fluxing oil is
permissible and a surface binder one
inch thick, instead of the regulation
one and one-half inch; as a result, a
few years will require great and un-
reasonable quantity of repair work
which will fall to Mr.. Leahy at a price
about double what it really is worth.
Who SAFEGUARDS the City,?
Who now is looking after the best
interests of the city, some Superior
street sucker may asks
It cannot be commissioner Farrell,
otherwise such stunts as have been
related would not be permitted. ~.
It cannot be city engineer Coe, other
wise he would be shouting the sordid
tale from the house-tops instead Of
quietly drawing his salary and COM
placently making estimates that fit the
requirements of the occasion.
1t cannot be the city council, other
wise that body would not give its en-
dorsements to commissioner Farrell's
procedure by a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Clough is member of the school
board, yet he permits himself to benefit
from a combination that will cost the
school district several thousand dollars,
which is little short of fraud.
At one time, Mr.. Clough was great
booster for the cement trust by pro-
noting the use of concrete for pave
ments. More recently, he not only
has buried very sharp Ratchet with
which he once threatened to take COM
missioner Farrell's political scalp, but
he has been converted to "bitulithic
the dear old asphalt trust, and has been
initiated into the Degree Of Silence.
No young convert never was more zeal
Gus than is wee Davie Clough.
To one who does not like to play the
part of sucker and who does not like
to be bilked, it does look as if "My
Paving Program has reached stage
where the public no longer can fail TO
take notice.
Is this is not so, then why this deep
and funereal silence in bitulithic and
official circless

MOVIES
"CoubIinu For Romeo"

There seem to be no limits to the comedic possibilities latent in Will Rogers, the Goldwy1 cowboy star Each new phctoplay in which he ap- pears is more humorous than it's pre- decessor. Besides, Will Rogers never seems to exhaust his supply Of comic gestures, for each situation in which he finds himself. calls forth an origi- nal comic response.
 In his new Goldwyn picture, Doubling for Romeo,' which will be shown at the Lyric theatre for days beginning today, MT. Rogers portrays a cowboy lover whose sweetheart re- fuses to listen to his bashful love making. She will have none ether than the man who can make love like a movie" hero Consequently, the cowboy lover goes to the movies" to learn how to make love. His expert ences at the studios are the most humorous scenes Will Rogers has ever played. After these experiences he is still the bashful lover. But he learns of a chap named Romeo; and after reading about him, dreams of himself as a modern Romeo What happens in the dreom is a rich satire on Shakespeare's immortal love-dra- ma,
