The stars OF the Trans Mississippi Golf
association want to hold the next tourney
in st. Paul, with the Town and Country

Leavitt and several Of the golfers Of the
Trans Mississippi, in speaking Of the at
titude Of st. Paul in not entering the
contest, say that they are at loss to

son to believe that several st. Paul men
would be at Des Moines this week, and
it was facility understood that an invita-

The Fieht is On.

We understand that petitions are
being circulated III district Q to be
presented to the Board of Super
yisors opposing the proposition to
tissue bonds for building bridges
across the Homochitto River and
Middle Fork creek.
The people of the central and
eastern portion of the county must
feel that their western friends are
Showing them very little con-
sideration in thus opposing the
building of these bridges, which
are much needed for the public
convenience and SO necessary to
the development of every industry
within at least two thirds the area
OF the entire county. The people
OF the western portion Of the
county enjoy the benefits of rail
road transportation, and, for that
reason don't feel the urgent need
of bridges like those living in a
section almost surrounded b Y
dangerous streams, where they
are sometimes without mail SER
vice for four or five days at time.
Why should the people oppose
the issuance of bonds within safe
and reasonable bounds for internal
improvements? Thirty five thous-
and dollars judiciously expended
in the way of opening up thorough
fares across the county would in a
short time enhance the value of
our lands and other taxable prop
erty to a point where the increase
over the present assessed values
of the county would pay the inter
est on that amount of bonds and
accumulate sinking fund suffi-
Gent to pay them off at maturity.
While we do not claim that a
bonded indebtedness is always
necessary to bring growth, devel-
opment and prosperity to a county,
city or town, we would like to
have pointed out to us a county,
city or town that is growing, de-
yeloping and prospecting without
it.
Franklin county has never in
its history ioated a bond, neither
has it ever built respectable
bridge. Franklin county is not
inferior in it's natural resources to
any upland county in the State,
but like the Improbable servant
its talents" remain buried, and
it is yet in outer darkness. -
