Merged Commission
Started Out
Oyster and Game Commissions formally
merged into one last week in accord
ance with an act of the last regular ses-
sion of General Assembly.
Onicers elected, and number of salaries
fixed and the principals on both boards
well provided for in one board.
Tow stenographers, il you please, for one
board with fancy salaries and an attor
ney at three hundred dollars per
month.

The Oyster and Game Commis.
sions were formally merged last
week in accordance with Act 265
Of the General Assembly, consolida.
ting them into one board. The OF.
ficers were elected and we note from
reliable report of the appoint
ments and salaries that there will
be very little if any money saved. 1t
is remarkable how one board. has
been done away with yet the princi
pals on both are all
well provided for and resting easy
in soft berths.
The officers and their salaries
are as follows Frank NJ. Miller,
Chief Game Warden and President
$4,000. 90 per year; Amos L. Pom
der, Attorney for board, Ut Many
La. $4,000. 90 per year or $500

Bailey down before State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee and
helped steal office for Lam bre-
mont, Superintendent of Oyster
Department, $500. per year;
Frank 4. Payne of New Orleans,
Chief Surveyor, $2500 per year;
q. S. E. Darlington Of Covington,
Secretary, $780,; Henry Jacobs

len, $500, book keeper. The
board will also employ Two ste
nographers at a total salary of
1890 per annum anu All Office /
boy az $500. Tie Legislature
provided that the new board
could use $50 600 for office ex-
pense per year besides main saIa
ries. Now two boards were sup
posed to be merged into one and
il was reasonable to believe ex-
penses were saved, but suchis not
the case as this board has two
heads with increased salaries, two
secretaries and an extra book
keeper, in other words three sec
retaries, and over and above two
stenographers. Will the secreta
ries be the stenographers or will
the book keeper get chance.
The Surveyor can not be con-
stantly employed and gets over
$500 per month. This is spend
ing tax payers money some.

Why He Resigned.

The reason for County Auditor
Whitney's resignation, which was
rendered at the last meeting of the
board Of county commissioners to
take effect August /, is on account OF
his wife's health. Mrs. Whitney
suffers dreadfully from hay fever
every year. Last year she remained
out west until she thought all danger
was past, but although she did not re-
turn to Minnesota until late in the fall
she did not escape and did not re-
cover from the effects of the malady
all winter. Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney in
tend to take up their abode in Wash
ington or Montana and will leave
here shortly after August 1. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney are natives of
Mile Laos county and an army OF
friends will regret the necessity OF
their seeking a new home.

warned those Interested. At a small
cost the ruts can be filed and leveled,
the large rock raked to the sides of
the road repaired last year, and the
surface graveled with clay gravel to
the depth of two inches; then there
would be smooth compact road, as
good as a street pavement at all
seasons of the year, and then it will
not cost $40 per year to keep that
road in excellent condition for gen.

of road will save the farmers south

Mrs. L. J. Dobner came up from
St. Paul last week and brought the
ashes of her father, the late John r..
Allen, and inferred the same in the
family burying lot in Oak Knoll
cemetery. Mr.. Allen, it will be re-

settlers of Princeton and died recently
in Los Angeles, Cal. An extended
biographical sketch of Mr.. Allen
appeared in the q n o at the time of
his death, few weeks ago. It was
his wish that his body should be
cremated and the ashes inferred in the
home of his early manhood, where he
had resided for so many years and
where he and his family had so many
relatives and friends.
