CODY-CORBET'T
PROPOSED ROAD
VIEWED BY HIWAY OFFICIALS
WITH OBJECT OF SECURING
THE MOST PRACTICAL
RIGHT-OF-WAY

A meeting was held on Monday
afternoon at the court house at
which time many of the farmers
of the Lower Sage district and of
hcials of the highway department,
including l.. A. Laird, state highway
commissioner. r. l.. Silver, district
engineer, and C. e. Hayden, resident
engineer, together with A. ]. PaIen,
representative of the federal bureaus
of roads, discussed the possibilities
of a right of way down through the
Lower Sage section for the building
of the Cody-Corbett section of the
|Cody-Powell road. A. ]. Beam and
c. E. Hempstone, two of the ranch
ers most vitality interested in the
proposed road. were present, as well
as several other property owners
who will be less vitality effected by
the new route.
After the discussion of the pro-
posed route the highway officials
and ranchers went over the pro-
posed location and endeavored to ar
rive at a plan of settlement for the
.right-of-way. The new road, as pro-
posed, after crossing Sage creek,
will cut across the corner of C. E.
Hempstone's north forty. At this
place a compromise was discussed.
of cutting off a few acres from the
John Chapman property and giving
1t to Hempstone and in lieu thereof
to give John Chapman an equal
.acreages of the Hempstone forty.
This arrangement, while seeming
practical, would leave both ranchers-
with a three-cornered piece OF
ground. but may be the practical
solution of the right of way. At
the AL Bear property the same
trade may be effected with the
Pearson brothers. by going through
one of their fields and trading acre
6 with Mr.. Beam. This trade
would obviate the necessity of go
ing directly through the Beam pro-
tperty and would give the depart
ment a comparatively straight thor
ofare, as well as leaving the road
within reach of several other ranch
ers.
Just what will be the final deci-
sion of the highway department is
not as yet known. 1t desires to Co
operate to the fullest extent with
the taxpayers and ranchers, yet, in
asmuch as the road is to receive 65
per cent federal aid, there are Ger
tain requirements in regard to right
of ways which must be adhered to.
The Cody-Corbett project comes in
for building within a two year pro-
gram of the department, and should
it be difficult to obtain the desired
right-of-way, it is not likely that it
will be constructed this year. The
department contemplates st%raighten-
ing out some bad turns on the
Powell road down near Powell and
Garland, and this work may be
given precedence over the Cody
ICorbett project.

M. c. I. Notes

Over 100 students and II members
OF the faculty at M. c. I. took part
Monday afternoon in hare and
hound chase which gathered at the
Manson cottage for a hearty feed of
baked beans, hot dogs, rolls, dough-
nuts and coffee. The classes follow
ed trails Of red, blue, green and pur-
pie paper which led them miles from
the right direction, across swamps
and through woods; one class being
sent as far astray as the Pinnacle;
and another going up the track to
Hoboes Retreat; only to find that the
trail was a hoax. Stunts were per-
formed along the way and singing
and cheering around the two camp
fires ended the evening. The senior
class was chaperoned by Miss Bearse
and Mr.. Cogan; the junior class by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook and Mr.. Dow; the
sophomores by Prin. and Mrs. Pur-
inton and Miss Lawson; and the
freshmen by Miss Minot, Miss Briggs
and Mr. Quarrington. The whole hike
was directed by Miss Baker, athletic
director for girls, and much credit
is due her for the smoothness with
which the affair was conducted.
Two fine tennis courts are nearing
completion on the M. C. I. campus at
the right front of the girls dormitory.
These will give a splendid opportuni-
ty for the sport TO fill the place It
should at M. c. I. Prin. Purinton

lige at Bates, state champion in the
tennis singles and is now anxious to
encourage this branch of athletics.

Interest Runs High
On Osborne Lecture

Interest in the Hon. Thomas Mott
Osborne lecture which is to take
place in the City Opera House next
Tuesday evening is attracting con-
siderable notice and many are to
avail themselves of the opportunity
to hear the famous prison reformer.
Prof. Clarence r. Johnson, former
ly a member of the faculty of Colby
college and for some years a teacher
at Roberts college in Constantinople
writes as follows on the visit of Hon.
Thomas Mott Osborne to Bucknell
University where Prof. Johnson is
now teaching in the department of
sociology. -
Il want to congratulate your mems
class at the First Baptist church in
Waterville on having secured Thom-s
as Mott Osborne to lecture on No
vember 8. l haven't heard him give
the lecture, Rebuilding Manhood"
but if he brings in some of his ex-
periences with criminals, 1 am sure
that it will be good. Anything Mr..
Osborne gives is good.
II travelled two days with him
from Athens to Paris once and he
had me captivated with his delight
full conversation during the whole
time. Last May he spoke in our
largest hall in Bucknell one night
and held 500 students spellbound Tor
more than two hours. Some of them
fingered on until we finally insisted
on breaking UP the meeting at IL
o'clock. / have seen Bryan and some
of our great speakers of America
master an audience but have rarely
seen as remarkable and never any
thing better than the powerful grip
which Mr.. Osborne had on his audi
ence here at Bucknell University
from start to finish.
II hope every seat at the Opera
House in Waterville will be sold IN
advance, for it is a crime to have one
single vacant seat in building wnen
Thomas Mott Osborne lectures.
Tickets may now be bought from
any member of the class or at the
Choate music store where they are
to be checked after 9 o'clock Friday
morning.
