Will some one please inform us what
the committee appointed will have to
do with the funds, supposing the bonds
are voted, and some one can be found
to draw the papers up so it will be le-
gal +? Will they not be obliged to pay
out what is ordered ? Who will boss
the directing Of the thing anyway {?
Who will have charge of the work and
the expenditure OF course the gen.
tlemen named are all perfectly salts
factory to every one. The question is,
what are their powers in the matter I?
A treasurer may be perfectly honest
and good business man, and still he
is obliged to pay out money under or
ders from headquarters, even though
"some one has Numbered. And if
you have not confidence in your board
why not put in some one you do trust?
Why hire teams by the day to unload
crushed rock when it can be let out to
contract for about one-half the money?
Is it to make work for some alderman's
team? TAXPAYER.

From the sawtelle (Cal.) Veteran

Henry Nolte writes from Johnson
City, Tenn, as follows; "The men,
bers of Pacific Branch N. II. d. Y. s.
had better stay where they are; it is no
good here, and never will be. / am
sick of this place, and would have done
lots better if l had staid out there, but

regards to all and hope that none will
do as | did, and leave a good home; if
| was back again | would never leave
it again. Will go to Marshalltown,
Iowa"
This old soldier came here few
weeks ago from the National Home in
California. He is one of these religi-
GUS cranks that abound in some of the
homes. They find fault with every
thing and everybody. This man had
been badly injured in a wreck ON the
Southern railroad and stopped here
some few weeks. He wore the home
clothes with brass buttons. The rail-
road company's surgeon attended him,
At first he did not want to accept any
money from the railroad, but he finally
took $3.50. If he had claimed $500 he
would have gotten it for he was badly
used up. He is now in the Iowa State
Home. He was very much disappoint-
ed when he came here and found the
Home not open.

All Aboard for BoOntord!

The Estate Electric Company was
organized in huntsville Monday, Au-
gust gath. The organization of the
above company means that we will
have an electric line from huntsville to
Boonford at an early day. The work
of securing the right of way is being
pushed, and in no instance have per-
sons owning land along the proposed
line refused to grant same free Of
charge.
The work OF grading the lower end
of the line will begin in fifteen days,
and it is hoped TO have the two miles
of road from Boonford to the Nationa
Graphite Company's works at Newdalt
constructed and in operation in very
short time. As soon as these two mile,
of road are built, it is the intention O
the company to push the construction
of the line to BurnsVille, distance 0
seven miles. Experts claim that al
excellent grade can be secured from
huntsville to Newdale at q compare
lively small cost. -Burnsville Eagle.

Young People Entertained .

About thirty young people spent the
evening Thursday very pleasantly with
Mrs. George II. Hurlbut They were
invited to meet her niece, Miss Jessie
E. Hampton, with few younger ones
invited by Allen Hurlbut. The house
was decorated with green, and every
one registered left-handed in green
covered book. A spelling match was
held, Rev. Jere A. Moore and Miss
Grace Hart choosing sides. All words
were spelled backward and much fun
was the consequence, an out-of-town
doctor falling down on "sick," but at
last such words as ''bicycle" and Gin
nocence" floored them, all but Miss
Marion Friberg who won the prize, q

UNCLE SANS STRATEGY.

Prof. w. r. Davis, superintendent
of the Indian school at Crow Creek.
states that there are all told LOO In
dams at the agency.
The government used strategy IN
having the Indians put up hay. Some
1000 head of cattle were driven there
to be issued, each Indian, male or fe'
male, big or little, to have two head.
To some families this meant eighteen
or twenty cattle. The early arrival OF
the cattle caused the Indians to gather
in. The longer the cattle remained In
sight unissued the keener became the
red mans desire to have them.
Finally. after two weeks OF parley'
ing. the Indians decided to put up hay
TO winter the cattle. and returned to
their homes, the issue of cattle to occur
afterwards.
It seems that the death rate among
the Indians at the agency is actually
greater than the birth rate.
