ing to erect a new dam. 1t will be

The democratic county central COM
mittee have nominated Ex-sheriff B..
NJ. Crawford and the Hon. A. NJ.
Patterson as delegates to the con-
,titutional convention and the repub-
Leans have nominated e. A. Cutter
and G. e. Norman. Considerable
surprised was expressed at this as it
seemed to be an understood thing
chat the republicans would put for
ward Col. NJ. j. Egan and NJ. W.
Stewart of Wilcox.
If a full vote be polled next Tues
lay the republicans, through their
nominations, will have aided the
democrats to score a victory. The
test oath QUESTION is cutting very little
1gure. The democrats however, re-
sent the assertion that they are
championing polygamy any more than
republicans are. There is a tacit I'M
standing, or rather a common feeling
between both parties that if such a
crime is being perpetrated that it
should be %squelched. There is a
universal sentiment in favor of state
hood. The people want statehood or
else lapse back to Reorganization Of
the county government. County
government under existing conditions
will force that end. 1t is not neces-
AIRY to enlarge now why such a state
If feeling does prevail; but it may be
proper to call attention to the fact
that matters judicial are pursued such
would not be tolerated if working
inder a state form or government.

few getting rich at the expense of the
many and Of course while that goes
on there is bound to be discomfort.

Divine services were held in the
Council Rooms Of Hugh Mullens last
Sunday night. Rev. Hugh J.. Fur
neaux officiating. Hymns were sung,
prayers offered, an orthodox sermon
preached and a collection taken up.
Quite a number attended whose alb
sence from the temple of the Lord
has always been nOticeble. A Wag
here said the reason that they attend
ed could easily be explained. On en-
quiring for the reason, it was learned
that that the parties were deyotees to
trying to make the "tiger throw up its
tall" indulging in a little syrup and
water with whiskey on the side OF
listening to the ''murmuring of the
waters" as they gurgled beneath the
bird cage" or rendered by the band,
all of which goes on in the Council
