The largest county in the United
States is within the borders of Mon
tana. In speaking OF large things
and places the st. Louis "Republic"
says; "The largest county in the
United Statss is Custer county, Mon.
tana, which contains $4,000 square
miles, being larger in extent than the
states Of Vermont, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Delaware and Rhode Island.
0ne.tenth of the present population
of the United States could find means
of livelihood within the immense
county; then 1t would not be as over
crowded as Belgium was at the last
census"

Loss or Life BY Floods.

The recent terrible disaster in the
Conemaugh Valley and at Johnstown
has put the historian at work to hunt
up SIMILAR disasters In the worlds
history. One of them in an eastern
exchange says that compared with
some Of the great destructive floods
in the worlds history, this is conpar-
atiyely light, but when placed by
modern conyeniences for conveying
the intelligence of the world to every
mans door twice each day. it has q
larger aspect than some OF the dis
asters Of ancient time. In 1927, when
the sea broke over the City of bort,
100000 persons were destroyed. Hol-
land was submerged in 1880 with a
loss of 100000 lives. In 1917 there
were 10000 persons drowned ut
Catalonia These are great floods OF
the worlds history. Earthquakes
have created a hundred fold more
disasters than water, the list of casp-
alties from this source being enorm-
GUS. Here are few OF the notable
losses: 1856, at Naples, 10000; 1881,
at LISBON, 10000; 1926, at Naples,
10000; 1867, at Ragusa, 5000; 1867,
at Schamaki, $4,000; 1893, in Sicily,
100000; 1903, at Jeddo, 200, 900;
l7l6, at Algiers, $4,000; 1871, at
Pekin., 100000; 1746, at Lima and
CaIloa, $4,000: 1854, at Grand Cairo,
10000; 1855, at Kaskan, Persia, 40
900; 1855, at Lisbon, $4,000; 1897,
in the country between Santa Fe and
Panama, 10000; 1851, at Melf, Italy
$4,000; 1857, at Calabria, 10000;
1860. at Eendoza, South America,
1000: 1868, in Peru and Ecudor,
$4,000. This country has suffered,
however, from no element so much
as from floods. War alone has created
greater defamation.

was presented. The petition was found
to be legal one, and sufficient bond
having been fled with the petition, it
was ordered by the board that P Mar

the proposed road, and that said viewers
meet at the northeast corner of section

Board met pursuant to adjournment
All members present.
The board took up for consideration
the report of viewers on the laying out Of
road as petitioned for by F D Wonne1
and Others The board having caused
the report to be read before its meeting,
and being satisfied with said report, and
that the road, if opened, would be OF
public utility, ordered that the report
and papers filed in the case lie duly re-
corded in the road record of the county,
and that the road as viewed and surveyed
be and the same is hereby declared to be
a public highway, and to be sixty feet in
width. The county clerk was instructed
to order the road opened to public travel,
in accordance with the view, survey and
findings by the commissioners.
A petition was presented by citizens of
eastern Trego county asking that the
county commissioners make an appropri-
alton to build a bridge across Spring (or
Ogallah) creek, in accordance with said
petition. The board, on investigation,
found that the road on which it is pro-
posed to build the bridge was laid out
road, and that the creek crosses the road
three times near where it is proposed to
build the bridge. In view of these facts
board made the recommendation that the
citizens who are interested in the matter
petition that the road as laid out on the
section line be abandoned, and a road
laid out as near the section line as prac-
ticable, to follow the creek curves, but so
as to avoid the building of more than one
bridge.
A petition, or appeal, by the patrons of
part of school district number was
next heard. A petition had been pre-
sented to County Superintendent Baker
asking that school district number be
divided so as to form two districts. Mr..
Baker refused to make the cut as Pc
titioned, and an appeal from his decision
was taken by A. J. johnson, John Briggs
and others. Both sides of the case were
we'll represented. after the arguments,
pro and con, Lad been made, the board
decided to cut the district as per petition.
Geo. Baker and Lee Monroe appeared
and asked that bills in state cases, which
had been certified to the last legislature,
but not allowed, be paid by Trego county.
This is the same parcel of bills which the
board refused to allow at their April
meeting. The board laid the matter over
for the present, and took the matter
under Amusement.

Mr.. Crawford and Samuel Weber, three

Post wished to have the bodies removed
within the cemetery. In the case of
Samuel Weber, whose body was buried
about two miles southeast Of the resi-
dence Of 8. G. Peacock, the board con-
cluded it was best not to disturb the

of his sister. The board made an order
that if the friends of ]. R. Snider and Mr..
Crawford desired that the bodies be re-
moved. that the county defray any reason
able expense for 80 doing. It was also

ty, the body of ]. r. Snider.

1t was $50 P. NJ. when board returned
from viewing the proposed bridge site
The board made the following report
We recommend that bridge be built
across Spring creek as per petition by
Abram Cross, b. N. Rogers, Mr.. Shep.
herd and others, and we hereby make an
appropriation Of two hundred and five
dollars out of the funds of the county fol
the purpose of building the same. We
further instruct the county clerk to mott
fly the trustee of Glencoe township of the
action which has been taken by the
board, and to request that he take steps
at once to have the bridge built as per
plan now on file in the county clerks
Office.
In the matter of a bridge petitioned
for by F. II. Calender and others, asking
that bridge be built across Big creek,
where the section line between sections
80 and "a, town II, range %, crosses the
creek, the board ordered that the town
ship trustee proceed to the place as Pc
titioned and make an estimate of the cost
of building such bridge as will be re-
quired, and make his report at the next
regular meeting of the board.
e. G. Wilson, cashier of First National
Bank, came before the board and request
ed that the First National Bank be made
the depository of county funds. He
stated that the bid made by the bank at
the April meeting of the board was as
high as consistent with good business
principle. He also stated that the First
National Bank printed sworn statement
each quarter showing the standing of the
bank, etc. Mr.. Wilson also stated that
If the county had any idea that the banks
would fail, and the county would at any
time have to collect the amounts on de-
post from the bondsmen, he knew they
would not make any deposits. He therefore
asked that in view of the facts stated
above, the board make his bank the
depository. After considerable argu-
ment the board concluded to deposit the
county funds in the First National bank
on their bid made at the April meeting.
The bank was instructed to file its bond.
1t was also stipulated that the county
treasurer be allowed to retain enough
money at all times to pay claims against
he county.
