Respectively.

A petition, sign,d By the residents
of Rocky Bar aud vicinity, PRAYING
the Board to have a piece of road
made to connect Junction Bar with
the Smoky and HALEY wagon road,
was presented this morning to the
Board Of County Commissioners
The utmost amount that would be
required from the county would be
$4,000, as the remainder would be fur
nishea by the residents of Atlanta.
Rocky Bar, and vicinity.
The proposed road, Major Cavanah
states, would bring Atlanta within 70.
and Rocky Bar within 60 miles OF
HALEY, ali the year round. AT pres
ent the residents of that section are
compelled, in the summer, to cut

THE RATES OF INSURANCE.
Several Business Men of HALEY to Move
for Lower Figures than they Are
Getting.

Several business men Of this city IN
tend, as soon as the Haley Hose Com
pany shall be in working order, to
move IN the matter of obtaining re-
duction of rates of insurance. They
will call meeting, ascertain the rates
that prevail in towns we'll provided
with waterworks, and then make a
concerted demand upon the compan-
les in which they are insured, for
lower rates. If the companies aflil-
lated with the board Of underwriters
refuse the proposed reduction, they
will app!yto the best non affiliated
companies to establish agencies here.
Several Of the giit-edgei companies,
they state, have held themselves aloof
rom the association, and they are fully
as secure as those who are members
of the association.

THE FIRE COMPANY.
Why 1t is Proposed to Organize it at
Once.

The new hose cart for the use of the
Haley Hose Company will not be
shipped from Chicago until the goth
instant 1t will therefore be all of a
month before it gets here. This be-
ing the case, it is urged that the pro-
position to delay the organization of
the company until the cart arrives,
should not be adopted. The hose is
here, and if fire should break out in
the meantime there would be no
trained hands to man it for etIectual
work
1t is therefore proposed to hold ID
meeting at once without delay, and
Monday night is named as the time,
and the Probate Court as the place
for holding the meeting. Ii the pro-
position is adopted the fact will be an
nounced to morrow.

MR.. kNAPP'S BONDSMEN.
They File a Sworn Statement with tn,
Board Of County Commissioners.

BOARD OIL county commissioners.
The following statement was pre-
sented to the Board of County Com
mlssionerS, this morning, on behalf o]
the bondsman Of Horace Greeley
Knapp:
of Alturas County. Idaho:
GENTLEMEN:-We, the unlersipn-
ed, sureties on the bond Of Horace
Greeley Knapp, the contractor fol
erecting and completing courthous
and jail for said county now in course
Of construction, present to your hon
orable Board the following facts in re-
lation to the said contract and the said
contractor, and the condition of said
building:
On or about the first day of Octo-
Der, A. ID. 1888, the said contractor
departed from the Territory Of Idaho,
and has remained absent therefron
until the present time, and shows nc
intention OF returning.
At the time Of his departure he left
the continuation of the construction OF
SAID building to an employe, hu- pro
vlded him with neither money, credit
nor material with which to carry on
said work; nor has he since his de-
partur provided any means wha'ever
for continuing the same. In conse-
quence of this, all work on said build
ing stands in an unfinished state and
in such a condition that material in
jury is like y to result to it from the
action of the elements.
The said contractor has made I'd
communication to US, or any of Us, re-
gardIng the completion Of said work
and to all appearance, even if he has
not altogether abandoned hs said con
tract, as we think probable, will be I'M
able to complete the performance OF
the same according to the terms
thereof, thus entailing loss and injury
to Altura5 county and, possibly caus-
ing litigation between said county aud
the sureties on said bond.
Material aud important changes
and alterations have been m de in
said contract and in the plans and
specifications Of said building origin
ally adopted by your honorable
Board, by sug restion of or concurred
in by your honorable 30 |, with
ont our knowledge or consent.
SAID contractor has been unable td
convert the bonds Of said county,
which, by the terms of said contract,
he agreed to receive at par in payment
for said work, into cash with which I'd
continue said work. That said CON
tractor cannot continue such work
without realizing cash upon sail bonds
and that, IN consequence of his failure
and inability to negotiate said bonds
or to realize money n ron, he will
be unable to iinish said building and
perform he conditions Of his contract.
In view of tie above facts we. as
sureties on said bonl, demand that
your honorable Board permit the sure
ties on said bond to complete said
building according to the terms Of
said contract, and that YOU deliver, or
cause to be delivered to us tie bonds
of said county provided by law for the
purpose of ptyng fer said huliing,
at such time as they, or any Of them,
shall be earned, in accordance with
the stipulations of said contract and
the usage of your honorable Board
in dealing with sail contractor here

Thanksgiving Whisky.

There were thirteen arrests made
by the police of our city on Thanks
giving Day. Under the policy of
our city government, care is taken
that the Churches shall have no
advantage Of the Devil. While
Rev. T. B. Hughes, at the M. E.
Church South, was assailing the
Liquor Traffic as the greatest enc
my of the Church and State, the
Devil was busy in 40 saloons down
town, stirring the fires of death
and destruction; and that too, un-
der the State flag and the city's
protection. Hence the arrests.

her, who is four years older.
The funeral was largely attend
ed on Monday, .Revs. Ewing and

GiImer County Cheer.

DEAR FREEMAN: Now that the
election battle is over and the
smoke clearing away, We hear all
sorts of hard things said of the men
who dared to vote for st. John.
But let Prohibitionists take cour-
age and fight on. One man at Au-
burn, Richie county, said to the
writer
81 was in favor of Prohibition,
but now 1 will never vote for it,
because you have been the cause
of Blaine's defeat and it was no
time to fool with the Govern
ment."
replied that the Government
had noright to fool with. the peo-
pie.
That man never was Prohibi-
ZIONIST. He now shows his true
colors. We can now tell "who is
who," and parties are throwing off
their disguise.
Another man said he was a pro-
hibitionist, but he would "never
vote the ticket, a0orld aoithout end.'
Are such parties ready.to aid the
saloonists and help send thousands
to hell to suffer torment, eternity
auithout end?
Still another said hc would new.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1884-12-03
WHAT NEXT!
And So Let it Be.

l infer from the utterances OF
til State Journal as well as other
pa pers, that the friends of Mr..
81 aine are determined to oppose
the submission of the Amendment
to vote of the people, and if it
should be submitted, vote against
it at the polls. While this is not
true of all it seems to be true Of
many.
In view of this fact shall the friends
of Prohibition gracefully retire
from their present line and attempt
such other combinations as will
aim at the overthrow of the Liquor
traffic? 1t may be that this is
the better thing to do? Jesus sad
it was not wise to put new wine
into old bottles" He was wise
enough to know. 1t may turn out
that Prohibition is the new wine"
and existing parties are "old bot
ties" Indeed the proofs that this
is true are accommodating and
promise to be overwhelming. If
these editors and others feel that
the party would be better and
stronger without us and that our
presence is offensive, we will go, but
with the understanding that we
will never come back.
would suggest, very humbly of
course, that the State commit
tee of the Republican party, be
called together and adopt two Res
olutions.
In the first, ask, or order if
thought best, the Prohibitionists
to leave the party at once. In the
2nd resolution instruct theRepubli-
can members OF the Legislature to
vote against the proposed amend
ment.
This will make clear sailing for
everybody, and obviate the neces-
sity of so much low, vulgar scold-
ing, and ! am sure that everybody
is tired of dish that has been
warmed over" so often.
Personally, care nothing for
the scolding. AS it does me no harm
and seems to do them so much
good, l am perfectly willing to
have it 60 on. Other people however
might become tired, and resent it,
vehemently.
1t is very evident to the thought
full mind that matters will not con-
tinue as they now are. There is
good deal of real manhood lying
around that leader can gather up
and mould into a compact organi-
cation that will be full of invinci-
bic courage, before which other
parties will be sure TO quail
There is an unwritten history
of party action that might come
out in a disagreeable way. The
pertinent question is, what next?
COMMON SENSE.
