OUR COUNTY FAIR

What has become of the ar- ranging committee of the county fair that was appointed to ar range for a county fair next fall? Had you ever thought of the fact that it would take some time to get things in working order for a Fair?
 Now we are not joking about the fair. It will be one of the very best things this county ever had, and it should not be allowed to go down.
 It will result in our farmers getting better acquainted and cause them to vie with each other in the way of better stock of all kinds. These county Fairs bring together the most progres. sive people of the county. Ideas are exchanged, products are compared. experiences are re- lated, and every one goes home determined that he will not let any one excel hlm along any line of improvement the next year.
 These fairs beget a most spirit ed, but friendly rivalry that results in greater good along all agricultural lines.
 Let's get busy and have this fair beyond all means.

AN IDEAL NEWS PAPER

Henry Watterson, the Veteran News paper man of Kentucky, said in a speech to the Canadian Press Association in Toronto, among other things, the follow ing: Tn a word, l do not think the news paper should con- sider itself as a prosecutor; rather the personal representa- tive, friend and neighbor of good men and women, pouring in up- on the community the sunshine of Heaven, not kindling and string the fires of hell; it's aim and end, first, last and all the time to enlighten and to bright en, to radiate and to warm, not to embitter, to brow beat and to dazzle. 7"

WATER POWER CON-
 PANY ASKS CHARTER
Governor Objects to Grant ing Franchise Without Compensation, Board
 Postpones Action

The Little Missouri Water Power Company, which proposes to construct two dams on the Little Missouri River above Mur. freesboro, sought yesterday tc secure a charter from the State Railroad Board of Incorporation. and after discussing the matter action was deferred until future meeting of the board, when al the members will be able to be present.
 Meanwhile the company filed it's articles of the incorporation with the secretary of the state The company is capitalized at S100, 900. of which $3O,OOO has been subscribed. The incorpo. rators are o. B. Gordan, A. Gurthrie. w. V. Tompkins, L. Beidelman, T. c. McRae, H. E. Bemis and M. w. Greeson, the headquarters of the company be- ing at Prescott.
 The Representatives of the company, H. E. Bemis, w. V. Tompkins and M. w. Greeson, appeared before the board and stated that it was the desire of the company to build two dams, one half mile above the pro- posed site of the Pike County Power Company, the other five miles above the site. It is the purpose of the company to sup ply water power for the opera. tlon of light and other plants within a radius of 40 miles of its power plant. This would include the towns of Philadelphia, Hope Prescott. Texarkana, Ashdown and DeQueen.
 Governor Donaghey objected to granting the franchise unless it should be stipulated in the con. tract that the sstate should re. celve certain percentage ot the gross earnings of the compa. ny. MT. Greeson stated that the company would be required te issue bonds to secure the funds necessary to establish the plant, and that should the board require i it to pay to the state any amount of it's gross earnings to the state it might be difficult for it to dis. pose of it's bonds. All the com pany wanted, he said, was 8 charter and it would do the rest. The company was willing to agree to begin work on one of the dams within one year, and te have the plant completed and in operation within three years.
 It was finally decided that the board should consider the propo- sition at some future date, the meeting to be called when all the members could be present, and in the meantime the company should present in writing to the board the concessions it was willing to make to the state in return for the charter.

The Circular Stair Case. "
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1910-02-08

The fact that the state absolute
ly failed to make a case against
Fred Raines on the charge OF arson,
and that Judge Egbers, In discharg-
ing the defendant, stated that there
was nothing In the evidence to con-
slider, shows how a person may be
maliciously or thoughtlessly dragged
into court on trumped up criminal
charge. without any foundation back
OF 1t. and his character assailed
through spite or desire of revenge
for some real or imaginary griev-
ance, at the expense Of the county.
There may be no way OF avoiding
such things, but II there were
some means of redress provided,
such cases would be less frequent.
The law permitting the arrest OF a
person on a complaint sworn to ION
information and belief" Is too broad
and gives encouragement to the nj
Ing Of cases without evidence back
OF them. There should be evidence
and knowledge OF crime as the basis
for warrants Of arrest, at least suf-
tIicient to constitute a probable
cause,

THE MILWAUKEE ROAD.

The building Of the Milwaukee
road into this city means much for
It's future growth and prosperity.
The officials Of the road have been
more than fair In buying the right
OF way through the city. paying
property owners in most cases ali
that they asked and more than the
property is worth In many instances.
The policy OF the road has been very
liberal toward the city and its rep
representatives. In conference with the
members Of the city council, asked
what should be placed in the pro-
posed franchise. These matters were
discussed and agreed upon to the
satisfaction OF every one. The PEG.
pie are satisfied, the company Is sat.

prepared. II 1t Is what all under,
stand It to be the people will look
to the council to pass It without un.

their charters or punishment for

Federal Courts More Rapid.
There are a number OF reasons
advanced Why more satisfaction may
be secured BY giving the federal
courts Jurisdiction. Litigation in
the federal courts Is more econom-
ical and more rapid and a federal
jury IS less liable to prejudice.
One Of the main objections to the
bill Is the denial VI the right of
state Jurisdiction over the corpor-
atoms, but the officials believe that,
after the Law has mad a working
chance, 1t may be possible to modify
its provisions to make them less OBJ
jectionable from the states rights
point OF view.
The proposed law does not con-
template supervision OF railroads, as
they exercise the right Of eminent
domain. This is a matter that Mr..
Wickersham says may be taken vi
later.
