DR.. Karr had bid before the county
commissioners, to attend the poor for
bid to do the same work for 1915, Did
the commissioners ask DIR. Kari for
another bid? No! They gave the con-
tract to Dr. Gould. If the first bid of the
INDEX had been $1,000, and the first bid
of the Cresset had been 81, 1893, the Cres-
set would have gotten the job. Because
the INDEX bid was $50 cheaper the
commissioners did not act"
The city council has ordered a ditch
to be cut around the north side of the
{ big pond, IN the Currie field, and the
, city marshal has gang Of men and six
| teams at work on the job. While it is
| the intention of the council to main
tain the embankment, yet some acct
dent might happen to it, and then by
turning the water into the new ditch,
the supply of water to the city would
not be cut off. The break on the Field
farm has been fixed and in few days
more water will be running through the
ditch as usual.
! If Mr.. Cameron or Mr.. Anybody Else
says the INDEX had ever fought the
interests of the taxpayers, that it had
upheld every act to fleece the county"
| the utterance is false. We have expos
ed fraud and hypocrisy, which Mr.. Cam
eron and the Cresset never cared to have
exposed, and they are dumb on two
prominent questions now before the
people. We have taken no side in the
recent contest oyer county deposits, but
have published all the facts in the case.
No other paper has done so. If we pub
lish facts, and they hurt, it is no fault
of ours.

Mr.. Gamer has been citizen of Cold

most of the time engaged in the dray

gentleman. Before leaving he disposed

will continue to run the dray to anC
