There promises 10 be some legal
complications over the big Oregon
Flat cut, A. f, Burke, in making
his contract for seven miles of grad
Jag in which the big cut occurs, did
not like the looks of the hill and
wanted it LETT out or done under a
special contract This, so it is said.
Chief Engineer Rohwer would not
hear to and told Burke and Robbins
they must sign the contract inelud-
ing the Oregon hill or he would not
o, X. their claim for other work
already done. As this claim was for
something like 100000, Burke &
Robbins, accompanied by an engi-
neer, went and made closer inspee-
ton OF the big fiat and discovered
that instead of solid rock like other
hills on the line, it is for the most
part loose ground with but little
rock. In short that at the price it is
a snap, the best thing on the line.
Returning, they closed the contract.
Shortly after the contract was made,
it is alleged, the construction depart
ment OF the road also discovered the
character OF the hill, saw a good
thing in II and notified the contract
ors that inasmuch as they had pro-
tested against taking in the hill the
company had decided to take that
part of the work off their hands. ae-
cordingly the company has begun
preparations to do the work. MIR.
Burke has it figured out that there
is over $4,000 clean profit in the
OBJ to his company and notified
Rohwer that il would take $500
to get his release The chiefengin
would not entertain the proposit
and notified the contractors to k,

Salaries VS.. Fees.

To THE TIMEs:-I notice in yot
paper last week enmmnnine, TO-
regard to the repeal of the act pas
ed at the last session of the legisli
ture putting the officers of this coul
ty on salaries. In that communica
ton you say the salary of the circuit
clerk is 81, 900 We presume this is
typographical error. The salary
of that official is 81 500, and in adj
dition thereto he gets all fees allow
ed him by the Chancery court for
sales of land under DEGREES of that
court, which during the year must
amount to a considerable sum, per-
haps $500 to $500 We fully agree
that the act in question gives the
officers ample and reasonable pay
for the work they do, and that their
salaries are quite in proportion with
the salaries allowed other officers OF
the state. The following are the sal
aries paid State officers; Governor,
$4,000; Secretary ofState, 81, 800;
Treasurer, So, $50; Auditor, So, $50;
Commissioner of State Lands,
81 800; Attorney-General, 81, 500;
Judges of Supreme Court, $4,000;
Circuit Judges and Chancellors,
$4,000. Superintendent of Public
Instruction, 81 900; the Reporter OF
the Supreme Court, So, 900; the Clerk
of the Supreme Court, 81 200. Be
sides all this these officers were
elected after this act was Tpassed,
and there was an express contract
between them and the people that
they would serve in these positions
for the salaries named in the act,
and it does not now seem right and
proper to change the salary and the
contract during the term Of office for
which they have been elected. So
far as the people are concerned, and
especially the poor people, there is
no Inconvenience or hardship in APP
plying the law No complaint has
been heard except from the officers.
Other counties have had similar laws
for long time and they have not
been repealed. In Washington coun-
ty salaries were fixed in 1S91-14
years ago-as follows: Sheriff,
81 500; Collector, which is a sepa-
rate Office, $1,000; the Circuit Clerk,
81, 500; the County Clerk 1,500.
Washington county hasmuch more
population than Boone. But il any
of these salaries are too small or too
great then amend the law, but dc
not repeal it.

Her Busy Day.

She hunts about the store all day
And looks at everything.
She serutinizes box and tray
And has the shopgirl bring
For her inspection yards of lace
And bolts of ribbon. too,
And then remarks. with doubling face
She hardly thinks they'll do
She goes about from store to store
From morn till time for lunch,
And after lunch she looks some more,
For fear some little bunch
or laees fine or ribbon gay
Her notice should escape
She asks the price that she must pay
For that exquisite Grape,
From luncheon time till night she goes
Upon her way intent.
She prices lingerie and hose,
But doesn't spend a cent
The siiverware attracts her next,
She fingers there awhile,
But soon she leaves the counter, vexed
The plate is out of style.
She looks about ON every side
And questions every clerk,
6he spreads confusion far and wide
And makes a lot of work
AT last. when night Is close at hand,
When fall the shadows damp,
She goes into a drug store and
There buys a postage stamp.

Representative Rowland on the Salary
Question.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Jan. 10, 1905
EDITOR TMEs:-As | have Just
been informed that a petition is be
ing circulated in Boone county ask,
ing me to have repealed the law reg
ulating the fees and salary OF certain
Boone county officers, viz: Sheriff
Circuit Clerk and County Clerk,
desire to submit to the voters ot
Boone county, through the columns
of your paper the following letter:
In 1902 made it an issue in my
campaign as candidate for Rpre-
sentative, that if elected would try
to cause to be enacted into law an
act limiting the fees Of Sheriff to
81, 900 per annum; those of Circuit
Clerk to 81 800 per annum and those
of County Clerk to 81 200 per an.
mum. When you endorsed me for
the place, | felt it my duty to carry
out those Instructions, which | did
on March I, 1908.
In 1904 you again endorsed my
action by favoring me with second
term. Just here | wish to state that
| am not here to dictate to the peo-
pie of any section, or even to an indi-
vldual, but to serve you when you
command. II you comm n nd i
by petition, | will ask for the repeal
of the law. As an individual citi-
zen, | am opposed to repeating the
law, and offer the following as my
reasons:
The law has not been sufficiently
tested to ascertain whether it will
work hardship on anyone or not.
1t was in force at the time OF the
election, and it was well known at
that time just what salary these Off
GERS would receive, and it was an ex-
press contract between the people
and the candidates for these offices
that they would serve, if elected, for
the salaries fixed, and good faith
and sound policy requires that this
contract shall not he changed, at
least during the present term of
office. But the salaries as fixed in
the Act are ample and should be sat
isfactory to these officers. The Sher-
i'll and Collector gets $4,000 anuu-
ally, and in addition so cents day
for feeding prisoners; the Circuit
Clerk gets 81 500; and the County
and Probate Clerk gets $1,000.
These fees are about such as are al
lowed in other counties similar in
population to ours, and is equal to
the pay of the Circuit Judges and
Chancelors of the State, who get
but $4,000 and $4,000 respectively
and are on duty from home most Of
the time, holding courts, while these
county officers are at home.
Let this question be asked How
many men in Boone county would
be glad to perform the duty of Sher-
lift at So, 900 year, or those of Cir
cult Clerk and receive 81 500 year,
or County Clerk at 81 200 a year
As a private citizen, oppose the re
peal OF the law; but if you desire il
repealed, let your petition show the
same. Yours respectfully,
J. SAM ROWLAND

Asked one day in his store the ques-

MIR. Davis, of the Moss Pharmacy.
answered, "For years old fashioned
cod liver oil has been known to pos
sess the most remarkable curative and
healing properties for throat, bron-
chial, and lung troubles of anything
known to medicine, but on account of
the grease which enveloped its cura-
tive principles. it has been impossible
Tor many people to take enough of it
into their systems to combat a
thoroughly settled disease without
clOgging the system and upsetting the
stOmache.
"Now, however," continued Mr..
in a highly concentrated form all of
the medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil actually taken from fresh
Gods livers without a drop of oil n

that it is the greatest cure for all

From Napier New Zealand. Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
of New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made of all the cough
medicines that were sold in that
market. Out of the entire list they
found only one that they declared was
entirely free from all poisons. This
exception was Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, made by the Chamberlain
Medicine Company. Des Moines.
Iowa, L. S. A. The absence of all
narcotics makes this remedy the
safest and best that a be had: and
it is with a feeling of security that
any mother can give it to her little
ones. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is especially recommended by it's
makers for coughs, colds, Group and
w%hoOping cough. This remedy is for
sale by all Druggists.

CONTRACT AWARDED
For Erection Of Methodist Dis.
trict Parsonage. Work Will
Be Begun Soon.

The erection of a Methodist
district parsonage here will be
begun shortly. Thursday the
building committee met and
awarded the contract. The
residence of the presiding elder
for this district has been and is
now at Crowley. Several years
ago q movement was started to
build q district parsonage and
the location offered to the town
in the district which would offer
the best inducements and con-
venience. Lafayette was enabled
to secure the parsonage because
of the liberal contributions OF
the members of the local church
and the generous donation by
Mrs. M. e. Girard Of a large lot
next to the Methodist parsonage.
The parsonage is estimated to
cost $1,000.
