sight. He stated that A. j. Curtis Id
been put in charge of a portion of
the work and that a number of teams
we're started to work Monday on the
line OF road leading out to Mt. Yer
non. He felt that there never was a
better time than right now to push
the good roads idea, because the peo-
pie as a rule have been awakened to
the necessity of good roads and
showed a better disposition to help.
Sollcltaflon among the farmers re-
vealed the fact that they we're will
ing to give assistance with their
teams and even contribute some mon
ey toward the project.
G. w. Downs, of Mt. Vernon, spoke
OF What they had accomplished out
that way and said that after %circulat-
ing a petition among the business
men $3.50 was subscribed to help on
the road work. He found a kindly
disposition on the part Of the farm
ers in thai section to help in what
ever way they could. The town
council out there will provide some
King road drags to sell to the farm
ers at reasonable prices. Mr.. Downs
SAID that they expect to get to work
on the roads in all directions at once,

good deal of interest is manifested over
the injury to oscar Myhre, which occurred
on Saturday. He was riding his motor

point where he left the bicycle to the place
he struck 1t was siXty-four feet. While
he has been unconscious for hours. his
mind is slowly clearing up and chances for
his recovery are more favorable. Now the
contention is made that 1t was the distance
he was thrown that really saved his life.

when he left the wheel, 1t Is stated that
he was going with enough force to have
broken every bone in his body and the
distance he Travelled in the air reduced the

FORT DODGE. Dec. 20.-(Special.) New
excitement In the saloon fight here is
aroused today in a dispute over the length
OF time that is given for securing with
drawals. Some contend this privilege is
extended only ten days after the petition
is filled and others maintain Withdrawals
can be made until the board Of supervisors
canvasses the petition. Mr. Wright of the
Anti-Saloon league. holds a supreme court
decision gives only ten days from the time
of filing. The mulct law has no stipulation
concerning this matter, IL is asserted.
II only ten days are allowed, the Civic
league has only four more days for ac-
tvity, and many feels this means failure
of the anti-saloon cause. On the other
hand, II they can work until the petition
is passed upon, they have until January IA,
as the board of supervisors have set that
day for the canvass The question is being
investigated.

Senator Brown who has had a number
of talks with the president regarding
judicial places TO be filled said today that
tho president was looking for fitness
primarily and that he desired to promote
judges who had distinguished themselves
by their decision, by their broadness of
culture and by their judicial attainment
to higher places, which accounted most
largely for the promotion of Judge Van
Devanter and others of circuit or district
benches. Where the president could not
find Judge who measured up to the re-
qurements that he laid down he would
seek in a distinguished lawyer those quail
ifications that would make for an up
right and impartial Judge, the appointment
OF Mr.. Justice Hughes being an example
on kind.
OF Mr.. Learned Senator Brown spoke
in most enthusiastic terms. He said he
had all the requisites OF a great jurist
and that in event Judge Calkins would
not be considered in connection with the
Van Devanter vacancy, he would pull
trong for Myron Learned, because he re-
;arded him as one of the very best
equipped men in the whole commonwealth
4 Nebraska for such an office.
The Iowa delegation are split up, which
is not in any wise presented as new and
startling news, into two samps, individual
members Of the delegation urging upon
the president the appointment OF Judges
Deemer and MacLean for the vacancy on
the circuit bench.
To add to the embarrassment of the sit
uation growing out Of the vacancy in the
Eighth circuit, Judge Frank r. Aitkin of
Sioux Falls, S. D., who is a candidate to
succeed Judge Van Devanter is In Wash
ington for the purpose Of furtherinB his
own candidacy, and this is only the begin
ming of what the president viii be up
against in the next few weeks, for It is
understood that nothing win be done to fill
the vacancy until after congress Is again
in session on Capitol Hill.
