The petitioners declared at the recent
meeting of the council that they do not

this reason they desired to return to
Montgomery county, whence they original
ly came.

rate rule and control of the town OF

Records Cited by Mayor.
Mayor Plat was prepared to answer
all questions. He presented a compare
tive statement of the assessments and
revenues received from three sections OF
Takoma Park, each section having about
the same area of land.
He explained that blocks ID. 90. CT. 8:
and *. contain ninety-nine lots, assessed
for $ll.:sO, with the improvements al
$3.50 making total. of -$13, 4S0, upor
which the town received taxes amounting
to $lSs.12. Block O. contained forty-foul
lots, assessed at $7,423, and block 90
which contained thirty-one lots, assessed
at $3.50, making total of seventy-five
lots, with an assessed value of $13, IT'S
from which the town receives $19265.
The total amount Of taxes received from
the seven blocks desiring to Withdraw
amount to $31S.57.. The total revenue re-
Roma, Mayor Platt said. nets the .towr
$94934 for sixty seven lots, and In OLD
Takoma $1,4H.99 for sixty-one lots.
Blocks 50 and 90 have 1,375 feet Of

improvements to this section. the mayor
declared. lat rea sonable estimate, this
charge would be $3.50, or over 500 more
than the entire revenues received from

While the Commoner is not informed

that at present there is no indication
that the suggestion will be taken Sc

AWFUL EXPERIENCE
Of Family Fleeing From Forest
Fires-Nearly Dead When
Help Was Reached.

Grand Marais, Mich, May 14.-John
b. Ewing, his half-crazed wife, with
a month-old babe and six other chill
dren, the eldest but Is, have arrived
here, after a heartbreaking five days
and nights battle through forest fires
10 refuge. All are in temporary hospit-
ais, suffering heavy colds, wounds
from thorns and rocks and severe
burns.
On the second day out Mrs. Elving
became hysterical, and refused to per-
nit her husband to carry the babe.
This added enormously TO the terrors
Of the journey. Fearing the perils in
20 miles of uninhabited, uncharted,
burning woods. Elving chung to the
lake and shores Of the Brule river.
One entire day they made but five
miles, struggling in the Brule river
VI to their necks, with wet branches
oycr their heads. Two of the small
er children were swept away by the
rapids, but one was rescued by the
big Newfoundland dog land Ewing res
cued the other. On the last day the
faithful dog persisted, being cut off
by a forest fire while foraging for
food.
The family is oil the verge of star
walton, and would have died of hunger
had they not come across a deserted
cabin, whose green logs saved it from
burning entirely. In the vegetable
cellar they found enough food to sus-
tain life for the final dash. Ewing
finally rounded up an OK and cart
at a deserted settlement and brought
his family in. For two days they
had to contest the right of way with
bear, deer and other animals, all flee
ing for refuge ana which nad assemb-
led along the river banks.

1t is quite generally agreed that II
the people who at intervals leave
Kentucky for regions of the West or
Northwest for the benefit of better
farm conditions, would expend the
energy here that they are compelled
to exert on work in their new location,
they would prosper just as we'll and
in the same proportion. Kentucky
has just as good farming land as the
West ever knew. Given the same en-
ergy and attention, it will produce
Just as much in the general average
Of crops. To emigrate into another
country for farm bnefits, as Il gen.
eral proposition is not advantageous.

There is no better town of its size
in the whole country than Hartford.
Few as good, from a moral standpoint
and as regards the conduct of its citi-
zens. Sundays especially are quiet and
orderly here-no boisterous drunken
ness, no violations of the law upon
the part of it's citizens or merchants,
everything peaceable and respectable
in general sense. We have Off
GERS here to preserve order If the
law is violated. This is the history
of the place from it's foundation. 1t
is no more than it ought to be, and
yet it is good. Then why pass or
dlnances which will array citizens
AGAINST each other, the railroad
against the town, and cause strang-
ers to think we are too strict TO he

Taft himself explains il. He laughs

In almost every communicated
Hartford is not an exception-may be
found young men fast growing into
mature manhood who have no practical
knowledge of any trade or calling. If
they have a useful future, it seems
to be rather obscure. They seem to
have no ambition to obtain a live
lihood and if they attempt work, it
is usually piddling at some light job.
Il will be hard for these young men
when they get older-too late then to
begin a trade. This is a day Of
trades and callings, of specializa-
tion, If one would live Independently.
Young men should live for a purpose
and begin that purpose early.

KING EDWARDS DEATH.

The whole political situation in
Great Britain has been revolutionized
in a day by the sudden taking off of
King Edward. He was regarded by
England as a great king, and the
balance of the world held him in
equally high regard. The death seems
particularly unfortunate because Eng
land is approaching a political crisis,
and indeed this very crisis is said to
have fastened the late kings demise.
There is public confidence in the
new king, George V, and his ability
to take up the reins of government
where his father left off.

An experiment is being tried in Lon
don in providing model houses for the
working men at small expense at a
suburb known as Hampstead gardens.
They are built of cement and provid-
ed with open plumbing and all modern
conveniences common to American
flats. They are light, clean, sunny
and easily reached for a low rate of
fare. The rent is from $40 to SIP a
month. Such cottages would be great
boon to American workmen in all our
great cities. Here is work for some
wealthy American philanthropist in
every large city, or small one for that
matter in the country. 1t need not be
work of charity as a small profit
may be realized even when the cot
tages are rented at the low figures
mentioned.

town who Is interested In the city's
welfare, or in the city's property val
ues, should become self-appointed
census enumerator and help to see
to it that Norfolk gets properly count
ed.
This is the first chance Norfolk has
had in ten years, to take a federal
census. It's the last chance Wen
have for another ten years. And
there is not a business house in town
not dollars worth of property in
the city, that will not be affected by
the result of this count.
Norfolk needs credit for every in.
habitant within its limits. And If
there is a living soul in town-white
or black, old or young-who hasn't
been counted yet, you'll confer a fav.
or upon the community at large and
yourself along with the rest, if you'll
call the attention of the fact to the
census enumerators or to The News.
all over this nation as a means OF
judging communities, and upon the
figures a very.great deal therefore de-
ponds. In seeking locations, the very
first thing done is to consult the cen.
sus figures. In investing money, the
investor invariably consults the cen
sus figures as guage.
Norfolk hasn't as many people as
a good many other towns of really
less importance in Nebraska. This
is true by reason of the fact that Nor
folks location makes it a commercial
center of farreaching territory and
the people who are here are meet
ing the demands of that territory.
But the outside, far-away world has
no way of judging Norfolk's import
ance save from the census figures,
and for this reason it is of very vital
Importance that Norfolk business men
take off their coats and take a per-
sonal interest in seeing that the city
gets all that's coming to it in the
count,
The census of 1900 gave Norfolk
1883 people. The present census
ought to give us nearly 5000 but this
mark never will be reached unless
every breathing soul, counting those
but a day old, is included in the enum-
Grafton.
Once the census is closed, it can't
be changed for ten years. This is the
time to count and count hard.
1t is really more important event
than has generally been credited to
the census thus far in Norfolk.
