prison at Boonville. There were
lots Of big boys there who talked
about the big crimes they had com.
mitted-and some explained how
they would pull bigger jobs when
they got out of STIR"
Naturally, Edward and, Ernest
felt pretty small. The law might
call them criminals, but the other
prisoners called them babies.
To Get Their Chance
Then people started coming in
to talk to the boys. One was
Father Flanagan, who told about
the fine home he had up in Ne
braska, where there were other
guests their age and where fell,
low had chance to play and
learn other things than how to-
steal automobiles and go' with
gangs.
After a while came word that a
bill was going to be presented to
the state legislature, and that it
was THEIR bill! 1t was going to
be Especial dispensation to erase
the stigma of crime from their
lives" so that they could be sent
to the Omaha home. o
So Edward and Ernest are
happy, after all. One of these
days they're going through the
big gates of Boonville with Father
Flanigan-and never come back.

SETTLES
OVER DISTRICT
WITH FINE DAYS

Douglas police circles have been
remarkably quiet and free from
excitement the past two weeks. The
city Jail has been empty several times
lately and now houses only two men
waiting transportation to Tucson to
face the federal court on liquor
smuggling charges.
No serious breaches of the peace
have been reported. No robberies
have taken place within the city
lately and tramps and other unde-
eirableS seem TO have departed.
Officers attribute the quiet in part
to the recent drastic and sudden
action of county officials in capturing
ard sentencing some tramps all in
"a hours. R"iK u

LESLIE CANYON
ROAD men WORK
ON new BRIDGE

Excavation work for the abutments
for the Leslie canyon bridge to cross
Leslie creek just this side OF the
tall cottonwoods in the canyon proper,
has been started. The county road
crews have dug down IL Ieet on one
side without yet striking bed rock
on which to anchor the bridge, but
will continue excavation until they
do find something solid to anchor
with.
Bids have been advertised for the
steel for the bridge which viii be
10 feet long and will have an II
foot road bed. Nothing but the steel
will be supplied by contract, the labor
being done by the regular road crew
which has completed the stretch OF
highway from the mouth OF the
canyon to the site for the bridge.
This highway is being built out
Of the regular construction and main
tenance fund for this district OF the
county and is in addition to the
regular maintenance work that is
carried on over the district Other
sections OF the county received funds
from the emergency appropriation for
reconstruction and bridges that were
washed out in their districts.
The road, SO far, is a beautiful
piece OF work and leads the motorist
into ore OF the most beautiful Sec
tions in the county.

ny NEA Service
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-Even
y though they're OILY nine and
seven years old, Edward and Ernest
Shetron are criminals.
The statutes of the state of Mis-
souri, say so, and the law is mex
orable in making determinations
like that. -t
Welfare workers pleaded in vain
that the boys be removed from the
Boonville reformatory. Father e.
j. Flanagan, who directs a boys
home in Omaha, Neb., which bears
his name, even went to Governor
Sam A. Baker and asked that Ed
ward and Ernest be paroled to him.
The executive, although sympa-
thetic, was powerless. He explained
that the Missouri parole laws will
not permit the removal Of crimi-
nails to another state.

Life hasn't been very kind to Err

came full-fledged criminals and
were sent to the reformatory they
were trying to get the most out of
a rather cherries babyhood in

cided to become bold, bad bandits.
So they broke into a store and

NOT A NEW CASE
AND FORECAST is
POX IN CONTROL

Things were quiet on al fronts
yesterday, so far as quarantines were
concerned, and not a new case was
reported, according to DR.. George M.
Dunno, county health officer. Cases
in the detention hospital were re-
ported to be getting along nicely and
it is said to be the general sentiment
that the smallpox is in control. There
have been many pupils absent because
OF sore arms from vaccination but
there has been but one case OF
vaccinia reported from that cause. 1t
is expected that within a short time
the guards will be withdrawn and
the trouble will be declared over.

Douglas Dispatch:
One is very apt to register COM
plants and say things against people,
companies, ETC., when things do not
please them, but when we are pleased
we so often take things for granted
and forget to praise where praise is
due. I refer to your paper, its get-up
its news its editorials and policies
L am new to This part of the coun
try, having come here from Char
lotteSville, Va, which has been my
home for the past Is years. There
fore I do not like to say anything
to run it down But the comparison
between your snappy up-to-date daily
and the Charlottesville Daily Progress
is so very glaring that I think you
should be complimented.
Charlottesville and Douglas are
about the same population. Char
lotteSville has many advantages or at
least some advantages not enjoyed by
Douglas which it fails to use as a
source of news interest for its paper.
First, it is a university town; it is
also the county seat and the home OF
Thomas Jefferson, thereby drawing a
large tourist trade, yet its paper is a
small eight-page affair, the news
items are negligent, the editorials not
worth taking the time to read, and to
top off with is not issued until 4
p. m, consequently the rural COM
munity surrounding Charlottesville
gets the paper the next day. The re-
suit is that nearly everyone takes a
70 Ro1t
paper, which is delivered by mail the
same day as printed.
Please let me congratulate you on
the splendid paper you put out here.
Yours very truly,
