A. w. Dickey explained that $12,500 was voted at a special meeting last year for which no tax was laid, while the selectmen must look after schools and poor.
 W. B. Wilcox said he understood the $30,00 was contracted last year, but thought that $10,000 was carried over from the year before. It showed up last year, but no one said anything about it.
 Town Clerk Holbrook said that the SIG, 900 of 1908 was paid, but that the $30, 900 Of 1909 was contracted during that town year. However, the $12,50O for the Otis library, the celebration, and the Reliance company with $2,500, while the receipts fell short from less liquor license receipts, and s5,000 less from taxes, made the amount S19,000, for which the selectmen could not be blamed.
 T. c. Murphy said he had great faith
 in the present selectmen and remind ed the meeting that many poor people, widows and orphans have to pay taxes and he thought the full amount was
 too much at one time. He thought $15 ,000 a year would be enough to pay. o. k. Ryther didn't see how this meet ing could bind the one next year to pay any of the debt. but $10.0O0 could be voted this year. The amendment was lald on the tAole on tHe inotioh or | MT Shields.
 T. c. Murphy moved an amendment | that the amount be $15,000 after Mir. | Shields had put his original motion. | This brought Nicholas Tarrant to his | feet and he urged the paying off of the entire amount, saying that there is one class who pay their bills promptly, but | there is another, which includes cor | porations, which does not pay when it can help it. He urged the full amount l be paid and clear up the Indebtedness.

La lara Coming Into Her Own.

Lo JdEd SOInlnS INTO Her OWn.
The consummation this week of
the deal on the Home section of
the Harvey ranch with George
Propp, is an epoch in the history
of La Jara and vicinity. For
many years, this section has been
retarded in its progress by several
large holdings such as the Harvey
ranch, the Austin ranch, the New
comb tract and others. These
lands, all of which are choice, have
had their fences closed to the
farmer who, from a sense of owner
ship, would best upbuild the
country.
When the Harvey ranch was
recently sold to people who an
nounced their intention of cutting
it up and selling it out to farmers,
the country roundabout was glad
The people will be more glad to
know that these people are doing
what they said they would do, and
that already three thrifty German
farmers have been located on this
ranch. These Germans are not of
the ordinary type but are men who
have succeeded and who are worth
from $4,000 to 100000 apiece.
They will not only make good
farmers but they will benefit every
business in La Jara
These men are part of IA thrifty
colony and the fact that they have
decided to settle here, means that
almost the whole Harvey ranch
will be occupied by these farmers.
a member of the Inter-S State In
vestment Company, this week in
formed us that the company con-
sidered the whole Harvey ranch
sold, and almost every man is to
become an actual settler.
These men are doing the right
thing for the country. They are
not boosters, but in quiet way,
they are accomplishing lasting
benefits to La Jara and vicinity
and everyone should help the good
work along. Last week, some one
told their buyers that the Harvey
lands and water rights were both
worthless. OF course every pur-
chaser can see for himself these
statements are not facts, but who
could be shortsighted enough to
make effort to stop sales which are
SO important to every business
man in La Jara. There should be
a concerted effort on the part of
every business man to stop such
knocking" and every man, inter
ested either directly or indirectly
in this town and neighborhood,
should appoint himself commit
tee of one to "boost" whenever
legitimate opportunity presents
itself This is the time for La
Jara to get awake and boom.
Just make Boost" your motto and
then watch us grow.

It's hard for the average run of
humanity to believe that it is pos
sible for beings to exist who are so
low and depraved as those who
maliciously mutilated the little pet
spaniel of Thomas McCunniff, a
few mornings ago. The satisfac-
ton they obtained through that
cruel and inhuman deed could be
tolerated by none save the morally
callous and criminally inclined.
Judge McCunnitf offers a reward
for their apprehension, elsewhere
in this issue, and every resident
of La Jara-with the exception of
the cuIprits, of course-sincerely
hopes that he may succeed in get
ting the evidence that will commit
them to a term in the penitentiary,
the walls of which will ever blush
with shame at being compelled to
house such scoundrelly ours, and
the inmates of which would bow
their heads from the disgrace of
having to remain under the same
roof with them.

Gary Town Board Decides
to Dignity Back Thor
oughfares With Titles
Paved to Minimize Street
Congestion.

BY resolution passed yesterday by
the town board of Gary the various
alleys in Gary will be named the same
as streets IN laying out the town
provision was made for wide alleys
SO as to relieve as much OF the traffic
congestion on the streets as possible.
For this reason 1t is planned to pave
all OF the alleys in the business dis
trict with brick, the first one being
the alley between Washington street
and Broadway
Alleys running east and west will
be numbered, TO correspond with the
street north. The alley. therefore. be-
tween Third and Fourth streets will
be known as Alley No. 3, the alley be-
tween Fourth and Fifth, Alley No. 4.
For alleys running north and south.
that between Washington street and
Broadway will be Alley No. l west. and
that between Broadway and Massachu-
setts street No. l east The next alley
will be Alley No. 2 east In case there
are two east and west alleys between
two streets the first alley would be
called-between Third and Fourth
Streets A and the second 3B. If there
were two alleys between Washington
street and. Broadway the first would
be called l A west and the second / B
west
The naming Of the alleys in this
manner was in accordance with the
policy of the city to divert much of the
dirty and heavy traffic off from the
main streets. Delivery wagons, coal
wagons and the like will be expected
to back up to the rear doors instead of
| the front
The contract for the paving of Alley
No. west was signed up by the board
with Contractor P. T. O'Brien yesterday
and the work will be started at once

KLNER STIRS UP
HORNETS NEST
Contractor and Building
Commissioner Clash
Over Sidewalk.

The Gary building commissioner,
bilious" Bill Kliver, has stirred up
another hornets nest in Gary by at
tempting to stop the work of Con-
tractor John S Clark from putting in
the sidewalk in front Of the Calumet
Trust & Savings building. where it
was broken recently in the construc-
tion of the building
Kliver yesterday appeared before the
town board and in a heated address
advised them that Mr. Clark, in put
ting in this sidewalk was not watering
nor tamping down the sand as it
should be, which would eventually per
nit the walk to settle at least six
inches. He asked the board If he. as
commissioner, did not have the right
to have Mr.. Clark arrested for this,
and they informed him that he had.
When asked what his version of the
sidewalk affair was, Mr. Clark said
that the assertion that he was not
properly tamping and watering the
sand was a DIN" lie. He said that
Kliver attempted to stop him from fin
fshing the work. but that he would
complete the work on the walk just
| the same Mr. Clark went further in
| saying that the reason that the side
walk was broken in the first place was
! through the negligence of the building
1 commissioner in allowing the bundles
of lathes to be placed on the sidewalk
after the foundation had been dug from
under it.
