being found in fair condition
he received word from Walnut Grove
tnat there were some glandered horses
near there, and an investigation found
Two infected horses. He had them de-
stroyed and the stable cleaned and
Whltewashed. He ordered the boxes
and managers removed and burned, but
on visiting the place later, found that
MS orders had been only partially obey

SIDE party, as the place was in the
hands of Cinnamon, but he should keep
close watch of the premises, to have
the disease exterminated.
Supervisor Morrison stated that a
carload of cattle had been taken to Ne
vada and while here had been unload
ed at the railroad stock yard. AS they
We're infected with Texas fever tick, he
thought that the yards should be disin-
fected thoroughly before being used
again, or else closed up.
Supervisor Curtis moved that Su-
pervisor Morrison be appointed a COM
mittee to look after the matter in con-
Junction with the Veterinary Surgeon.
Constable L. J. Cottrell of Walnut
Grove appeared before the. board and
presented plans for calaboose at that
place He said the citizens were of the
OPINION that such a building would be of
great use and that also the hobo ele-
ment would give the town a wide berth
as soon as they found there was a iaiI
there. At present when he had a pris-
oner ne had to set up all night with
MIN before bringing him to jail. and
got no pay for it. He hoped the board
would give the citizens a jail. The cost
mad been estimated at $155.
supervisor Jenkins said the jail would
undoubtedly be a good thing for the
community, and he moved that the
podrd take under consideration the mat
ter and act on it later So ordered
A large number Of claims and salaries

In the afternoon Postmaster Thomas
OK, with committee from the Fourth
OF July Committee, addressed the board
asking 1t for an appropriation toward
lhe7 fourth OF July celebration. The
CITY, ne said, had appropriated 80 500
ana the country is also interested in
having an interesting celebration of the
day
Ex-senator Aram of the committee
also spoke to the subject, urging the de-
sHaplllty OF having the best celebra ton
possible and that money enough should
be appropriated to do so.
supervisor Mclaughlin moved that
s.DU De appropriated for that purpose
from next years immigration fund
supervisor Morrison said that while
ne appreciated the position of the gem
llemen and would like to help them.
ne uld not think money could be
appropriated from next years fund at
thls time. Folsom and Walnut Grove.
as Well as Elk Grove. he understood
intend TO ask for an appropriation for
ceieprauons there if this is granted. He
was opposed to the appropriation. He
old not think the immigration fund was
provided for that purpose. 1t was TO
orlng people into the State and county.
supervisor ellis said he did not think
mat every little place having a hall
doZen houses should expect to celebrate
There should be one big celebration thar
all could attend
supervisor Jenkins said he had voted
on former occasions for an appropria-
-tlon Tor the city. Supervisor ellis had
stated that Walnut Grove had only half
dozen houses, which was a mistake.
1t Is now quite a big place A few
years ago the board appropriated money

not DO so now from this years fund
ne did not see how it could be done.
Inc Fifth District has contributed az
largely as any to the resources OF the
county and is entitled to recognition.
ne men who worked for the county
should nave their pay. He was op-
posed to paying out money for the cell
epratlon when the board cannot pay its
plils for work already done He had
road bills from men for work done in
his district that had been in his desk
since last December.
supervisor Gfllis said that if there
was money enough in the districts road
Iund the bills could be allowed.
supervisor Morrison said the $500
could be paid for bridges, lumber and
work and that would be better than to
have the bills laid over All the board
knows the penalty of paying bills in
Cured in one year out of the funds of
the succeeding year. He did not want
TO be placed in that position. He had
done so, but would do so no more.
supervisor Curtis said he had voted
several times for a similar appropria
ton. Some of the gentlemen now here
asking for this one will probably be on
the next Grand Jury and would score
the board for making it. That had
been done before and also in relation 10
the money appropriated for the exhibit
at the State Board of Trade. He had
made UP his mind to vote hereafter for
only the legitimate expenses of the
county, and he was against this appro-
priation.
Supervisor Jenkins said that if there
was no money to pay bills ordered by
him he would never present them to the
board, but they would be paid all the
same. He was here to protect the treas
ury.
Supervisor Mclaughlin thought the
members We're very particular just now
