An Appeal 10 the People.

Mr. EDITOR:
BY your permission would like to
say a few words TO the people OF the
County on the repeal of the special road
law. Ia the first place would say that
the Board of Supervisors have no more
right TO ask for its repeal than the same
number of other citizens If this law is
repealed We would be put under the
general road law of the State, which is
very complicated and extrsvagant in its
provisions. 1t provides for "A County
levy of as much as forty cents and a
District levy of forty cents, provided,
however, that when the combined levy
Is more than thirty cents il shall be sub
mitted TO the vote of the people. The
general law also provides for the APP
pointment of county superintendent
who shall be an engineer or expert road
builder; salary of the superintendent TO
be fixed by the Board, and they can also
appoint deputies in each dis rict who
shall receive three dollars per day. They
are also authorized TO buy teams, carts
wagons, engine, crushers, and all other
manner of road machinery.
You will see tina, this law gives the
Board very large powers both as to
spending Of money and AS to appointing
officials al high salaries To get an en-
gineer or expert road builder would re
quire not less than 1000 per year The
deputies would cost not less than 50 pei
day each, making $500 per year for them
The profeSSed object of putting us under
this la is TO enable the Board TO in
crease the road tax so as 10 enable il I,
get a portion of the State appropriation
which requires the county to put up al
equal amount with the State thinl
this increase might have been mad,
under the old law or we could have haC
the old law amended so as to allow it
which would and under these conditions
The money of the State and an equa
amount from the County must be ex
pended on road selected by the boarC
and superintendent and approved 10y tn,
state Highway Commission, which roa,
must be made under the Highway Com
missions direction and control and in
scientific way, costing according TO hi
report not less than 81 500 per mile
. Now ii is estimated that we would ge
from the Stale about $4,000, To which w
must add $4,000 of the connty's money
/ Under the General Law we could levy 3
cents on the hundred, which would Civ
for County and District purposes abou
$1,000 To this add the State money
S3OCO which would give a total of $40
600 tor all purposes From this deduc
tie amount which must be expended a
the road selected, namely. 50 900, leavin
for all purposes $4,000.
Now you must remember that all IN
other roads in the Comfy must be kept i
repair while this special road is bein
huilI; also that the superintendent an
his equities must la paid also that a
expensive engine and roller, and pillow
and scrapcrs have 10 be bought TO max
this selected piece of road and that yo
have only the amount above 81 1000 To q
il with Deduc, salaries, 81 800, whic
leaves ba ance of So 200 to buy machir
erv and work the other roads.

the success already achieved by
this drama is beyond anything
known in America in the past ten
years.
The theme is most pertinent to
the present day when everyone is
keenly alive to the machination of
trusts and kings of finance. Mr..
Klein has displayed excellent judg-
ment IN presenting a phase of
American life with which the public
mas become familiar through the
newspapers and magazines of the
times. He depicts aking of finance
as he Is, robbed of melodramatic
attributes. In opposition to him he
places a true figure of American
womanhood. 1t is their struggle

PROGRAM FOR
THE SHORT COURSE

The program of the short course in
horticulture for Friday, the 1ith of
February. at first sight might seem to
the fruit grower to be on subjects out
of his line of business and therefore
not pertinent, but those who heard
Prof. Cottrell speak at the Santa Fe
depot last summer, will remember
that he said the time was at hand
when apple growers would find ii
profitable TO keep hogs and thus aid
in the fertilization of their orchards,
and also that the demand for pork
fed on alfalfa and field peas is far
greater than the supply, so that the
raising of such pork might be profit
able And every one who has han
died hogs knows that only good stock
pays. So that tits important to know
how TO pick out good breeding ami
mails.
Almost all ranchmen keep one or
more cows and here too, only the best
are profitable, where feed is so high,
so that 1t is essential to know how to
select choice cows and how to care
for them. We believe that poultry
can be made profitable on fruit ranch
es if properly cared for. Irrigation is
subject in which we are all vital
ly interested. The past year has
taught us that We should know what
vegetables to grow to realize the most
profit In case of failure of fruit.
These speakers come to us with the
most practical ideas on all these sub
jects. Let US give them good hear
ing and our careful attention and
am sure We will be benefited.

and was very much so at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clapp on Greydene ave-
nue. Monday evening.
Mr.. Widenour of Diamond avenue
was badly hurt last Saturday while af-
ter load of wood. A piece of wood
hit him with considerable force just
above the temple, cutting quite
cash.
Mr.. Hodgins, who lives on the cor
ner of Barr and Phelps streets, is put

Mrs Coleman, who lives at the
corner of Florence street and Cotton
wood avenue, met with severe and
what might have been fatal accident,
Wednesday morning. She was at
tempting to lead a pony into the barn
when he turned and bit her, so fright
ening her that she stumbled and fell.
He then began paving and biting her
viciously She screamed for help sew
eral times Mrs. Dickerson and her
brother happened to be passing and
came to the rescue. By this time a
number of neighbors appeared upon
the scene, and she was carried into
the house. She was bitten on the arm,
several times on the face, and severe
ly bruised about the body, where he
had paved her with his hooffs.
She was recovering from the shock
and getting along as well as could be
expected at last accounts. A dose of
lead would be apt to cure the pony Of
such a vicious temper.
Mr.. Perry, who lives on the Earl
ranch on Central street, has been hav-
ing brush with fire. Saturday after
noon fire was discovered in the cor
ner of the woodshed connected with
the house Fortunately man was
there en- business, who helped put 1t
out. Again Monday night, between IL
and IL O'Clock Mr.. Parry, smelling
smoke. got up and upon investigation
found fire had started again in tie
same place. He can't account for 1t
in any way, and thinks that some one
must be trying to burn the house down
through maliciousness.
