G[ASMANN FIGHTS
FOR RESOLUTION
0gden's Mayor Willing to Give
Any Concessions. So Long as
Start Is Made.
PROPOSES TO ELIMINATE
WEBER AND SALT LAKE
Says Present System of Appro.
priations Is Hopeless Waste
Of Money.

William Glasmann, mayor of Ogden.
sure is fighter when he gets anything
in his head in which he believes he is
right. Up in Ogden they say that Glas-
mann is all tho while being elected to
something or other because he is the
only man in town who ever "starts'
anything. Sometimes the rampagcous

but there is no question about his start.
ing Of things.
Mr.. Glasmann started something in
the good roads convention Wednesday
when nc introduced a resolution calling
upon the legislature to pass a law pro-
yiding for the building of twenty
miles of permanent highway running
north and south from Salt Lake every
year until the Idaho and Arizona
boundary lines arc reached.
This resolution came up again Thurs
day. Mr.. Steele Of Iron county moved
a substitute resolution that the legis-
lature enact Law providing for the
surveying and plating of, permanent
state roads. the number of miles of
which to be built each year in accord.
ance with the amount of revenues the
state has available for the purpose.
Eliminates Two Counties.
Mr.. Glasmanu spoke to this substi-
tutc. He offered 10 accept an amend
ment that the resolution read that
Weber county and Salt Lake county be
excluded from the provision Of the
law.

road somewhere. but / want 10 start

got IT into your head that Salt Lake
and Weber counties are behind this
business with some kind Of an ulterior
scheme of their own
Now, gentlemen, that is not so. 7
want TO tell YOU that Weber county is
building a magnificent road from the
Davis county line TO the Box Elder
county line. and doesn { need any help
to do it. ] am told by the mayor OF
Salt Lake that the city will built. not
a macadam road from Salt Lake City's
limits to the Davis county hne but an
asphalt paved highway. Mr.. Mackay,
You that Salt Lake county has good
roads to the south. and therefore take

Of the southern end of tho county.
Therefore, gentlemen, I amend nv
resolution excluding Weber county and
Salt Lake county from the operation
Of this proposed law. And am willing
TO start at the Utah county line on the

This outburst was received with great
applause,

that If we don Z start now, right now,
we will be as bad off as we were fifty
years ago. And that no lie.
Gentlemen, ] am in earnest in this
matter. Those who thought intro

legislatures to know that this will be
the case, 1t has been the case always
when We have asked the legislature
for something and left it to them to do
the best they can What we want to
do is to say what we want and then
get it. ~
To Let Appropriations Stand.
Mr. Glasmann realized thai all the
opposition directed toward his resolu-
ton had behind it the jealousy of the
rural people with reference to their
biennial road appropriations.
"Now gentlemen said Mr.. Glas-
mann. off T put into this resolution
a provision that this plan we have sug-
gested is not to interfere with any
regular appropriations for roads and
bridges-such as you have been get
tipg-will you accept it?'
But Mr., Steele would not accept it,
and the matter was temporarily dis
posed of when a motion prevailed that
the Glasmsnn resolution and the Steele
substitute be sent to the committee on
resolutions for reconciliation,

The members of Company A, 1st
Inf, N. D. N. G. returned to Bismarck
Friday morning at ten o'clock on
special train over the 500 line. The
boys were very glad to return to their
company station and were very much
pleased with the transportation given
them on their homeward journey by
the 500 officials. The general passen-
ger agent of the line came with the
train to see that everything went all
right, and it did. The actual running
time for the trip was less than twelve
hours.
Less than half of the company re-
turned to their home on the special
train, as a number of the boys re-
manned in the east for side trips and
visits with friends and relatives there.
Individual transportation was given
them good from Sparta to their home
stations, good for thirty days from the
time of the departure of the regi-
ment.

HScSIveO oISu VTAISe'
The following is dispatch pub.
lished in the St. Paul Pioneer Press
under a Camp Mccoy date line:
The work of the North Dakota boys
has brought the highest praise from
the headquarters officers, who are in
the best position to compare the work
of the National Guard boys with the
regulars. Their officers are we'll in
structed in the work received by the
several maneuvers and the men go
into the work with great interest.
The health of the militia boys from
the Dakotas has been exceptionally
good. The men used little If any in
toxicating liquors. They were par
ticular about what they ate and
drank.
Following the departure of the d.
kota troops three regiments of Iowa
infantry arrived for a stay OF ten
days. These are the 53rd, 55th and
56th regiments. Following the Iowa
troops the First Wisconsin and the
Tenth separate battalion, Wisconsin,,
will encamp at Sparta until Aug. 30.

The Starlina's Tongue.

All starlings have very peculiar
formation at the extremity Of the
tongue, which gives the appearance OF
a piece having been nipped out Of 1t.
This fact gave rise to the mistaken
idea that starling's tongue must be
cut before It can be taught to speak.

PETITION CAUSES SURPRISE
Many People Seek the Clerks Office TO
Find the List of the Men Who Have
Declared for the Test of the Saloon
License Here


Six hundred and twenty-six voters
of the city of Kenosha appeared
to the city clerk of the city demanding
that the question of no-license be sub
mitted to the voters of the city at the
coming city election for just before
noon the Rev. S. f. Dimmock, the lead
er of the no-icense campaign commit
tee fled the formal petition with City
Clerk Harrington in order that he
might have time under the law to give
the voters notice that the question
would be submitted. The petition is
a bulky one made up Of forty small
petitions and the total number of sig
natures is 626. The petition at once
became a matter of interest and many
people interested called to look over
the petition and find just who had the
courage to come out and declare them
selves in favor of putting the ques-
tion up to the voters.
Examination of the signatures on the
petition show that it contains sixteen
per cent of the number of voters vot-
ing at the last general election in 1909.
The committee in charge based the
number of signatures needed on the re-
port of the vote cast as returned to
the secretary of state. Under the law
it is necessary for the petition to
have the names of ten per cent of
the voters in the city.
The names Of the signers have been
verified and all save ten of the sig
natures appear in the Kenosha city di-
rectory and these voters have been
looked up and &c 3ednsi to be legal
voters in the city. The members of
the committee declare that there is not
a fraudulent signature on the petition
and that they are ready to defend the
petition against any fight that may be
made on it. +;
simultaneously with the fling Of
the petition the "drys" have opened
the campaign in the city and have sent
out more than cen thousand circulars
of various sorts calling the attention of
the people to the campaign and show
ing arguments in favor of the case they
represent.
The chairman of the committee de-
clares that no grass will grow under
the feet of the "drys" during the next
two weeks and that the committee will
give Kenosha the hottest campaign it
has ever seen.

STUDENTS MAKE FIGURES
Include Kenosha County as Doubtful
in Fight on Saloon

According to the report of members
of the "class in actual politics. al
Lawrence university, after an investi-
cation covering several months, if the
question of county option was sub
mitted to a popular vote of the entire
state, it would undoubtedly be defeat
ed, but if submitted to the voters out
side the city of Milwaukee the terri
tory would go "dry."
The counties which the report ap-
pears to indicate to be decidedly
against county option are: Brown, Cal
umet, Dodge, Forest, Florence, Villas
Iron, Marathon, Lincoln, Manitowoc,
IOsaukee, Kewaunee, Sheboygan, Milwau,
kee, Washington, Shawano, Winnebago
Fond du Lac; Outagamie, Lacrosse and
Langlade-twenty-on in all.
The counties that are found to be
close and doubtful are: Wood, Port
age, Marquette, Waukesha, Oconto
Marlnette, Kenosha, Green Lake, Jer'
ferson, and Racine-ten in all.
Those that appear to be very
strongly inclined for county option are;
Ashland, Adams, Burnett, Buffalo, Bar
ron, Bayfield,, Columbia, Chippewa.
Crawford, Clark, Dunn, Dane, Door
Douglas, Eau Claire, Grant, Green, 10.
wa, jackson, Juneau, Lafayette, Mon
roe, Oneida, Polk, Pierce, Pepin, Price
Rusk, Rock, Richland, Sawyer, Sank
st. Croix, Taylor, Trempealeau, Wash
burn, Walworth, Waushara, Waupaca
and Vernon-forty in all.
The counties favoring the ."dry'i
conditions had an approximate popula-
tion of $4,000 in 1900, the counties
favoring "wet' population of &c.
900 in 1900, and the doubtful counties
about 274,000.

START NEW CRUSADE
Chief Orders officers to Arrest An
Blocking the Crossings

stung by filings at the police force
by members of the common council at
the meeting on Monday night Chief
o Hare has ordered his men to begin
a tireless fight against the railway
men who block street crossings and the
order has gone out that the officers
will be held personally responsible for
failure to arrest the train crews in
charge of the trains violating this ordi-
nance Of the city. The police officers
were given this order last night and
it was given to them in no uncertain
terms. There were no arrests made
last night, but it is certain that if the
crews continue to block the crossings
that the exchequer of the city will be
enlarged considerable by the fines col
lected from them.
