THE COUNTY HAS The men
Why NOT FIX The ROADS!

Some time ago-at the time Louis Duertre of Golconda had the run
away while coming to Winnemucca-ths paper called attention to the fact
hat the road between the two towns needed fixing. Mr.. Duterte laid the
accident to the bad condition If the road. He said the highway would not

team al away.
A few days ago another party drove over he road and said it vas sin a
deplorable condition and he hoped the county commissioners could see their
way clear to fix it. Complaints about this road are heard frequently
Now it looks like it would be the easiest thing in the world to fix that
road. The county has continually a large gang of men on hand whom it
is boarding.
What's the matter with sending them out to fix the road? The tax
payers are putting up for their board, to say nothing of all the other ex-

THE News PAPERS WIN AGAIN
THIS Time WITH UNCLE SAN
(From the Reno Evening Gazette.)

Now the government is endorsing newspaper advertising. i'm was
until recently, when recruits for army and navy were lmed before the ser
geant by means of gaudy posters posted IN dead walls and questionable
barns. Secretary Metcaf, mindful If what the newspapers did for him
in former years, sal n o reason why straight, legitimate advertising should
not appeal to the nan who would be a soldier or a sailor as vel as to
the woman looking for bargains in a department store. Accordingly did
he abolish the posters and publish straightforward ouncemen in the
newspapers The results have somew hat surprised the government, tradi
tionaly slow, but are just what any newspaper publisher would have fore
told. More recruits have been obtained and the len have been of an
unusually intelligent class, than ever before. The cost has lot been near
great and the tracing of expenditures has been easily done. Every
point is in favor of the newspapers. But why talk about the obvious?
This is something that most peope-of course we are presumed to be
speaking of intelligent people-have long ago discovered for themselves in
one form or another. Still, it is something to have persuaded the govern
ment TO see the error of a ancient custom.

AFFAIRS IN WHITE PINE NOT
DUE TO OFFICIALS DISHONESTY

RENO, Oct. 21.-Not guilty. That
is the verdict rendered by State Aud
itor N. w. Rolf after investigating
the alleged graft in the office of AS
SCISSOR House of White Pine county.
Auditor Rolf states that no serious
discrepancies were discovered by him
with the exception of the affairs of
Assessor House, and that in this case,
oversight caused by the fact that the
assessor had more business thar he
was capable of handling in a proper
manner.
Assessor House is also sheriff of
White Pine county, and consequently
has two mems duties to perform. The
county commissioners refused to al
low Assessor House more than one
deputy and consequently the volume
of business d~evolving upon the assess
or's Office could not be satisfactorily
adjusted.
After considerable argument by
Auditor Rolf the county commission
ers consented to put a special mar on
the work, with the result that in the
neighborhood of 100000 worth of
assessments have been added to the
tax roll and there are about 800, 900
still in sight.
Auditor Rolf stated that after thor
oughly investigating the affair he is
satisfied that there was no attempt
on the part of House to graft.

The sellers of real estate pay the

ACCIDENT IN
CROWN POINT DITCH
Horse, Buggy and Occu-
pants Tumble in, But no
Bones Are Broken.
Especial to Lake County Times).

Crown Point. Ind. Aug. last
evening while DR.. a. Farley and wife
were attempting TO drive to the barn
on East street where the doctor keeps
his horse. he ran along a deep trench
which had been dug by Contractor
Green and in some manner, still mys-
terry, a plank caused both the occupants
Of the buggy and the horse TO fall into
the ditch.
The ditch was two feet wide and six
feet deep and it is considered miracle
that there were no damages or injuries
sustained by either the doctor or his
wife.
The horse. however, did not fare so
well. 1t was compelled TO remain in the
ditch for an hour before 1t could be
removed and then was quite stiff after
its struggles to get out.
About 10 o'clock yesterday one Of
the contractors horses fell in about
the same place while an effort was be-
ing made to close the ditch with a
two horse dump scraper. 1t took two
hours to remove the animal from the
ditch and when the men did finally sue
coed a veterinary surgeon was called
and it was found that the horses hind
leg was dislocated at the hip.

The town board held its regular
monthly meeting Saturday evening.
Aside from over $500 in bills which

their own walks in that time to do so.
Building line and grass line We're dis
cussed, but no definite action was taken.
Jacob Miller asked permission to
raise the walk in front of his place of
business eight inches. Action was de-
ferred until Monday evening so the
board might more fully investigate his
case.
A tile drain was asked for along
Main street from the Erie tracks to

Railroad Breaks Faith With
Town in Matter of
Depot.
Especial to Lake County Times.l

Griffith, Ind, August Tt now ap-
pears that Hammond is not the only
city that has been fooled by the prom
Uses of the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Louisville railroad.
Griffith is up in arms and threatens
to sue the railroad if certain agree

city are not carried out. One of these
was regarding the drainage of a sec
ton of the territory in Griffith and the
other was the matter of communication

Griffith both of these things before
they could get the right to cross Grit

If something is not done by the rail-
road to show it's good faith shortly,
the matter will be taken up by the
