THE PE6I6ION.

For several weeks the Union has endeavored to get out the
road petitions promised it's friends some time ago. The attor-
neysin the city have all been so very busy none could spare the
time to look up the laws regarding county roads, owing to the
court session. Bangs and Bangs, however came to our rescue,
and after carefully looking up the matter compiled the petitions
printed below.
When we first thought of a petition we were under the I'M
preston that our county commissioners had done and were
doing all that lay in their legal power to do to repair the county
roads. They have told us all they could do was to appoint
supervisors for each district and if the district had no funds
they could not compel the supervisor to put in his time on the
roads. They said they could not take the funds of one district
use them for another as it was not legal and lastly they claimed
the only way to raise monies for road repairs was by poll tax
and by the per cent levy which has been done. They had done
these things and conld not legally do any more.
The Union is very glad therefore to be able to announce that
Bangs s Bangs, cooperating with theUnion have discovered
a means of raising the money for roads and plenty Of it to-.
And the best of it all is it 10 an sntisly legal way, Section
1882 of the Political Code reads:
Sec. 1892 The county eenmissieners have general
supervision of county roads, and hays power to aPpro-
pirate such snms of money from the county treasury as
they think advisable for opening, vacating, resurvoy-
ing OF. otherwise improving such roads, not exceeding
ia any one year the sum or ratio OF one thousand dollars
to each FIVE hundred thousand dollars OF assessed
valuation of real estate in such county; Provided that
additional sums may be appropriated but may not be
expended except upon ratification thereof by a vote OF
the people, to assist in building bridges and opening
and repairing county roads, to be expended under their
direction.
The commissioners have, as may be seen general supervis-
ion over county roads and have power to Inappropriate such
sums of money from the county treasury as they see IT. a I a
ratio of one Of every five hundred dollars and use it for repair
ing these particular roads that need it so much. The assessed
real property in this count y,i the county treasurer estimates as
about 81, 800, 900. This gives US over 1000 with which to do
the work, a sum ample fer the purpose We believe.
The petitions which have been mailed to our friends who
will secure signatures read as follows:

made in range work by the Third reg
1ment. He was hard worker, and was
to be found on the range at all times
when the men were firing. Last year
the regiment qualified IS sharpshoot-
ers and Al marksmen; this year Is
sharpshooters and 81 marksmen, with
smaller percentage of men in camp
this year. Every man who went to
camp was required to fire, and, as a
result, some of the men who had given
the range little attention made good
scores and have become enthusiasts.
All the company rifle teams of the
Third regiment will go to Duluth this
fall for competition and practice prior
to the state competition, which will
take place in September. The Duluth
companies, A and G, have one of the
finest ranges in the Northwest There
are four targets, with a range of 500
yards. The companies have a field tel

the pit, and every possible convenience.
