AIKEN TREASURER In
QuANDANY
LEGISLATIVE ACT DIRECTS HIM
TO DO WHAT LAW FDRBIDS ,
BIS DOING

Aiken, March 23.-Mr. Wesley
Yonce, treasurer of Aiken County, is
in quandary. An Act of the Leg
islature directs him to do what he
says the law forbids his doing.
At the recent session OF the Leg
;slature bill was passed known as
The AuguSta-Ail1en Boulevard Bill,
providing for the county commiss-
toner's TO draw their warrant upon
the treasurer for five thousand dol
lars, the same to be applied in build
ing the boulevard between this place
and North Augusta, as the terminal
OF said road. The bill then directs
the treasurer to pay this five thous-
and dollars out Of the surplus
school fund" The bill met with
violent opposition in this county, be-
cause it provided for diverting the
school money. The delegation de
Tended themselves by stating that
the money was merely to be bor-
rowed, and would be paid backhy
the cities of Aiken and North Au-
gusta out of the dispensary profits.
Treasurer Yonce says the law for
bids him TO pay out school money
except upon warrent of the school
trustees. Therefore, he says, he is di-
rected in different ways. One or the
other law m st be violated, in the
event the county commissioners
draw their warrant as they are en-
powered, but not directed to do
1t looks very much as though the
Augusta-Aiken boulevard will not
receive the $4,000. The citizens along
the road and in Augusta and Aiker
have literally subscribed to the func
: for the building of thi,-soaG y. tn
promise of $4,000 from Aiken coun
ty. Their portion of the road is be
ing built, but as the matter has beer
and is so violently opposed, it !.
probable that the matter will b,
dropped. If the warrant is draw
citizens say they stand ready tc
stop it with an Injunction, even !
the treasurer offers to pay it. Bu

Providing. however, that whenever It
shall be made to appear to the said
principal or superintendent. upon the
written statement of the parent or

CLYDE A. BROWN BROUGHT
TO CANON CITY TO Be
TRIED FOR FORGERY

to his uncle in that state. The amount
there was s225. which. he stated. was
easy money. He was arrested for the
offense and would have been sent to
the penitentiary but for the generos-
ity OF his uncle. who settled the mat
ter and kept him out OF prison.
From Kentucky he went to Canada.
where he worked the same game and
managed to escape the officers who
were placed on his trail. Later he
went to Kansas, where he obtained a
position with the Rock Island rail-
road company. While there a forgery
was committed and he was arrested
for 1t and sent to the penitentiary at
Lansing under a sentence of fourteen
months He claims to have been inno-
cent of the crime charged against him
and was given an unconditional par
don by the governor after having
served about four months. Suhse-
quently he got job in Wyoming. but
was discharged after 1t became known
he had been a convict. He then went
to Albuquerque. New Mexico. where
he forged several checks on the local
banks and had TO go to Texas to es-
cape punishment. Five or six months
later he was taken into custody by
the New Mexican officials and was SEN
fenced 10 the territorial prison. but
was released after serving less than
year.
After getting out OF the peniten-
tiary in New Mexico he says he tried
to lead an honest life. but the habit
of obtaining money by forgery was
so strong upon him that ne could not
leave 1t alone. He worked the banks
in Los Angeles and San Francisco
ana got away without trouble. as he
did in many other places The Inn
pulse was irresistible and whenever
he got out OF money he repienished
his purse by forgery.
After he left Canon City few
weeks ago he went to Pueblo where
he remained n couple OF days and then
proceeded TO Salida. where he stopped
for a week or more. From there he
proceeded to Grand Junction. at which
place he worked one OF the banks for
ninety-six dollars and presented a
forged check Al another one for the
sum OF ninety-three dollars. The lat
ter institution. however, was skepti-
cal about the genulneness of the
check and refused to cash II. although
the teller gave him three dollars when
Brown told him he was hungry.

at Coal Creek In this county and are

WILL MAKE DISPLAY
AT NATIONAL IRRIGATION
EXPOSITION IN CHICAGO

, Mr.. Deweese is convinced that the
people OF the upper Arkansas valley
have never had offered to them so fine
an opportunity to advertise the re-
sources of orchard and garden as will
be presented at the National Irriga-
ton Exposition at Chicago next
month. and. he says, to neglect their
privileges in the matter will be to
show a lack OF enterprise
At the Chicago exhibit every exhib-
ltor will be permitted to place his
name on the box containing the ar
ticle grown in his orchard. or on his
ranch; indeed. such a course is re-
quested. for 1t Is desired to place the
honor where It is due. In none OF the
great national shows OF the country
has such liberality been manifested
as will be the case at the forthcoming
exposition in Chicago. and both the
exhibitor and the community he rep
resents will be the gamers by IL

Der of visitors. s@,Stmated at from a

Chicago is more central than any
other great city in the country and a
display Of our orchard and garden
products there will do the people OF
Fremont county more good than would
be the case anywhere else The ad-
vantages of such an exhibit can not be
easily estimated in dollars and cents;
its value would be almost incalcul-
able
Mr. Deweese has laid the matter
before a large number OF orchardists
OF this district and all OF them are
much concerned In II and there seems
little doubt that they will be credit
ably represented at the Chicago ex-
position. Fremont county fruit is
second to none in Colorado. or the en-
tire country. for that matter. and our
people should neglect no opportunity
to advertise that fact to the world.

alton that there were more advantages
here than almost anywhere else. Our
lands here are too cheap" continued
Mr.. Farmer, "and they would be worth
double their present price If properly
advertised. They are fully as pro-
ductive as those of any other section
of the irrigated region and until we
place a true value On them the COM
munity will not attract the attention
II deserves" He said the time was
coming when the celery output OF the
Canon City district would rival in
value its horticultural products. for
the soil here was peculiarly adapted
TO its growth.
Mr.. West. who for many years has
been connected with the emigration
department OF the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company. with head
quarters in Chicago. said that he was
familiar with all of the irrigated sec
tions of the west. including California.
Washington and Oregon, and that none
of them offered as great inducements
to the man desiring home In a de-
lIghtful climate and amid beautiful
surroundings as Canon City. and the
adjacent territory. Mr.. West said that
Canon City would become another
Pasadena II the people here literally
and iudIciously advertised its attrac-
tions.
1t was unanimously decided to have
Canon City and Fremont county ade-
quately represented at the Chicago
exposition by a display OF products OF
the soil and a motion was made by
DR. Bell calling upon the county COM
missioners and the city council TO set
aside a certain sum from the public
moneys for that purpose. The motion
was adopted and a committee consist
ing OF DR.. Bell. Francis Bachelor and
George F. Rockafellov was appointed
by the chair to make formal request
upon them for an appropriation Of
three hundred dollars. the amount to
be equally divided between them.
The committee was empowered to
call TO its assistance whatever help
was needed to secure the desired ap-
propriation- A portion Of the money
viii be used In purchasing the display
and the remainder devoted to defray-
ing the expenses of the committee
charged with its collection.
II is anticipated that most OF the
exhibit will be contributed by growers
free OF cost for advertising purposes.
A large quantity OF fruits and vege-
tables has already been promised and
there seems no doubt OF the success
of the enterprise.

1t will be matter of interest to
the readers of the Daily Record to
know that under the provisions of the

Colorado all children attending the
public schools in this state will here
after be compelled to undergo an ex-
animation at the hands of their teach

The certificate. or statement, OF the
