therefore circulate his petition

The law says a candidates pc

tain the names of at least three
per cent nor more than ten per
cent of the total party vote in the
county. A republican therefore
would have to get a total of not
less than IL names on his petit

would have to get at least 1 in

he could get the other IA in Coll

Thirty years ago wooden pins

coming and going. the plowing

stakes are gone or decayed and
uncertain measurements by
many and different parties have
changed the boundaries in some
cases until now few know to
certainty where they are. We
believe the time has come to
make an end to all uncertainty,
and to so mark each portion that
it can never be lost, and acting
upon petition widely signed, I
have already done some prelim-
mary work.

became convinced that nothing
but systematic survey of the
whole could be of any use, and
no one party could afford to pay
the necessary cost to absolutely
establish the corners on the
| identical spot where they were
first set by Peck & Ellsworth.
/ have already uncovered
enough of the old stakes to know
that the original survey was very
exact, although no two blocks
are exactly the same size neither
rectangles or squares, yet the
stakes were put where the plat
says they were, and not where
some people think they were. I
believe it to have been a mistake
not to have laid off the town at
right angles and the blocks of
uniform size, but with that I
have nothing to do, I have to find
where they really were, and re
store them, more to restore them
IN such manner that they never
again will be lost.
AS to expense, compare it with
this To survey a township it
costs about $1.75 per quarter
section A single quarter sec
tion will sometimes cost 500!
The townsite entire will be but a
few cents, not to exceed 10 or
Is cents per lot, while a single
lot in some parts could not be ab-
solutely established under sew
eral days work; further all meas
urements hitherto made are not
surveys. Anyone can measure
where his land ought to be, but
that does not establish a corner
The law provides only one way.
A man may be satisfied with his
supposed corner, but the land rs
not his if it belongs to someone
else, neither is it his if it belongs
to the city. I am sworn officer
and all who work under me are
sworn both as to faithfulness and
impartial work. Lastly, 1 shall
prove to all who wish to investi-
} gate the work that 1 know what
/ am doing and how to do it.
) No lot can be defined unless
the block is known any more
than a center can be found in a
section before one knows where
the corners of the section are.
Sooner or later this must be
done, and the sooner the better,

Mr.. REEDER'S DENIAL.
Says Stories Circulated That He Was For
Knox We're False.

Beloit, Kansas, April IL, 1908.
Editor Beloit Daily Times:
Will you
kindly print the enclosed letter
from Mr.. Reeder, which seems
necessary in order to nail lie or
two going the rounds of the
newspapers. that are opposing
Mr.. Reeder's candidacy for
Congress, throughout the dis
trict.
Very truly yours,
w. III. Mitchell.
Washington D. @. April 4, 'OS.
My dear Mitchell:
Replying to
your letter of recent date 1 have
this to say. 1t is strange how
far some men will go to carry
forward an opposition to some
certain candidate for some trivial
reason.
The statements going the
rounds of the papers opposing
me, that I am for Knox for presi-
dent, is absolutely false, and
was started by an editor whom I
would gladly have accommodated
by recommending his son for
post master, but could not do so
except in opposition to nearly all
the leading republicans of his
town.
Ever since President Roose-
velt decided he wouldnotbea a can
didate, / have been for Secretary
Taft for president, and have
never had a second choice.
Then there is the story being
copied quite generally that
Speaker Cannon controls my
vote This is absolutely false;
Speaker Cannon only once tried
to tell me how he thought ought
to vote, and that was on the
Statehood bill. and after he got
through with his talk telling me
why he thought I should support
the bill, told him that thought
him wrong, as l believed the ter
ritories should themselves de-
eide whether they would come in
as one state, and that I should
work and vote against the bill as
then written. Myself and forty
four other members worked and
voted against it. and defeated
