THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1898.


The state wagon road provided for
by Workman's bill which has passed
both houses, is receiving more
attention and comment than any other
single piece of legislation of the
session. There seems to be a wide
difference of opinion in different
localities as to the righteousness Of
expanding money on the construction
Of the road. and number of the
state papers which have always com
handed respect for their penetration
and wisdom, are charactizing the
matter as robbing, extravagant
piece Of jobbery and a regular steal
that will be of no benefit to the state.
Other papers Of equal standing are
loud in their praises of it as most
wise act on the part of the state,
which will be a grand factor in
developing our interor resources.
The matter has always been viewed in
favorable light by the SIGNAL, not
withstanding the adverse comments
Of others, and until, by practical
demonstration, it is shown that the
road cannot be success, we cannot
believe otherwise than that it is the
proper thing for the state to do. OF
course if it should in the end turn out
to be useless squander Of public
money, we would be heartily ashamed
of ever having spoken well Of the
enterprise, and be filled, naturally,
with vain regrets for the wasted
funds; but at present we are willing
TO risk ever seeing that day. There
are other things besides its feasibility
that may or may not result in its
failure. However practicable the
route might be, it could be made Q
fzzle through misappliance of the
appropriation, and ignorance and
carelessness in the laying out and con-
struction of the road. Having SC
much at stake, in both money and
honor, the state should see to it with
eagle eye that not one dollar is wrong
fully used, and that every effort and
energy of engineering skill anc
mechanical ingenuity is bent towards
securing the best results If this is
done success will result, if not failure
may.

Only a few days remain to the
Fifty-second Congress. 1t is probable
that there is not member who will
not be glad to welcomethe end of the
session on the 4th of March. I To
many of them it means permanent
exit from public life, and to Others it
means the accession to power of an
opposing political party, but to all of
them it means rest Whatever its
drawbacks, they will be freed from
the daily grind, and in a few more
days the mails will be barren of letters
from office seekers, which have been
pouring in upon the Democratic
members in anticipation of the coming
change of administration. They will
be that much ahead, anyhow.

prohibits the placing of county funds
on what is known as general deposit,
yet this deposit is the one usually
made by Treasurers, and indirectly
sanctioned by Commissioners, be-
cause of its being an undoubted con-
veDience in that it materially aids in
facilitating the transaction of county
business. Still no one would seriously
contend that the Commissioners could
not prevent such deposit were they to
regard it as against public policy.
Our Commissioners, however, having
in mind the interests Of the county
and convenience of tax payers, pro
vided for the special protection of
county funds placed in this way by
requiring from the local bank of de-
post a bond for their care and safe
keeping. Certain people outside the
county have for the past two years
seized every opportunity to assail our
property interests and it is now pro-
posed that they shall have the hand
ling of our county revenues, the effect
of which will certainly be to strengthen
and continue the assault and bring
us into desrepute in and out Of the
state. 1t is a disagreeable commentary
on the spirit Of our people when
such impudent meddling from the out
side in our affairs, as has been noticed
the past few weeks, is permitted to
90 unrebuked A little more tolerance
all around amongst ourselves an
enlightened sentiment as to mutual
rights and obligations, would furnish
the necessary antidote to such i'm
pertinence. Gentlemen-and this
means all tax payers, Commissioners,
and other county oflicers--this thing
has already gone too far. Call halt
and take new reckoning. If we dc
not, before a year has passed, this
business (no matter about the motive
behind it) will surely react to our dis
advantage. Like boomerang in the
hands of novice, it will smite the
thrower. To use homily "Chickens
will come home to roost - We can't
befoul our own nest and escape the
consequences Public spirit and
local pride should be vigorously
asserted.

The Declaration of independence of

That which Mr.. Richardson
has done, has created no sur
prise, in fact it has been well
known ever since he assumed his
office that he intended to do just what
was done last Monday deposit the
county money in the Payette Bank.
The motives which have led to this
are well known throughout this
county, and it is not the SIGNALS
intention to rehearse them at this time.
The still family seen spooks of the
Fate election and the sores created by
obstacles met with in ascension to
office are matters with which we shall
not burden our columns, as they con-
Germ but individuals. But the re-
moval of the county money concerns
the public in general and the county
as corporation, which has position
and character to maintain among
Its fellows, and the light in which it
is now placed can scarcely go uncom-
mented upon. The action of the
County Treasurer in withdrawing
county funds in defiance of the order
of the Commissioners and sending
them outside the county is not
calculated to improve our standing
with the progressive sentiment of the
state. 1t is not only likely to lead to
complications that may result in
serious annoyance (if nothing more)
to tax payers, but possible trouble for
shat officer. The Commissioners,
acting on what they believed TO be
their line of duty and in the interests
OF the county, having made an order
touching the handling of county
funds are quite eertain-judging from
the character Of those ofllcers-to see
that the order is complied with. The
reasoning of some people, if followed,
would lead to the conclusion that the
treasurer, having furnished the
required bond, becomes at once
practical owner of the funds, to handle
as he sees fit. The enlightened
business sense of the times is pro-
nounced-and rightly-against such
theory. Financial officers under bond
are supposed to have such control
over funds as the law gives them-no
more. County Commissioners and
the Auditor are empowered by law to
count the funds whenever they deem
it proper to do SO, and to. contend, in
the face OF this plain provision, that
the Treasurer may, if he chooses, keep
those funds anywhere other than at

REV MR BROWNS FAREWELL.

Rev William Brown preached an excel- lent sermon in the Methodist church, last Sunday evening, from the text, Acts 20: g, And now brethren, I commend you to God and the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctifed.'' He said that in the Metho- dist economy the ministers were appoint ed from year to year. The limit of time in one place is five years. He did not expect to return, but said the bishop might think it best to send him back and he was subject to the powers that be. He gave the church credit for their generous benevolent collections, having given more for missions this year than ever before in the history of the church with one exception. Rev Mr Brown has as usual endeared himself to the hearts ot the people and all have felt that the in- fuence of his Godly life and spirituality has been most refreshing and beneficial

EASTER AT ST JOHNS.

The chancel and choir of the church were decorated with great care and ex- cellent taste and never looked more beau tiful. The plants and flowers were abun- dant and of fine quality. The congrega- tions were large at both services; but were naturally disappointed at the ab- senee of the rector, who was confined at home with a severe attack of influenza The musical program, which had been es- pecially prepared for the morning, was entirely omitted on account of the illness of the choir. c. M. Parsons read morn ing prayer, in very acceptable manner. Rev Mir Linsley, rector of Trinity, off1ci- ated at the children's festival at 430 D. m., and, as ever, was warmly welcomed by the people of the parish. The ser vice consisted of short even-song and holy baptism. St Johns orchestra ac- rompanied the organ and Mrs D. P.Rich- ardson was the organist. The voluntary was Novello's Easter anthem, 'sThe Lord is My Strength" The music was plain, hearty and we'll rendered. Three infants and two persons of riper years received baptism and five other children who were to be christened were detained by sick ness. The offertory in the morning amounted to $143.67; and the cIlildren's Lenten offerings were $36.

The Episcopal society held their annu- al meeting on Monday at which the off cers of the past year were reelected. A majority favoring, it was agreed to grant the use of the church for the Memorial day exercises. It is hoped that popular speakers as usual may be secured, as that occasion is the biggest day. in this hamlet in the year, the novelty of a ''real spring sun the turtles, after which many disappear, scarcely to be seen again until the end of anotherl2 month. To an out slider this society seems paying institu- tion, since it's treasury has balance of over $500 after paying a lay read CT $520. The society owns a very neat rectory, but this has been unoccupied. Judging from the large proportion of persons who are not in any church on Sunday it seems as if it should be the part of some one to see that the average attendance on Sunday should be above 25. It is the regular thing in the West in starting new town for the business men to provide school house and church at once and make liberal offers to clergy men knowing that thus they will increase the attractiveness of the town and raise the value of property. Sharp business men, not Christians, know that this rule works both ways and that as education and religion die out, schools and churches .s., CT, and as the property owner knows too we'll, real estate must seek less desirable customers.
