AS TO WHO WILL
Be LEFT OU T.
Common Sense Taxpayer
Is Called to Task For Last
Weeks Communication.

Weeks Communication.
In reply to the article, entitled
"Who will be left OUT in the last
weeks issue of your paper, written
by Common Sense Taxpayer, think
it more prudent to accept the judge
ment of the five or six hundred tax
payers, who signed the Jeffersonville
District petition asking the court to
call the election, than to accept the
statement of this one taxpayer, who
prefixes the word Common Sense'
to his name, and states that none of
the roads set out in the order of the
Court to be otherwise improved will
get cent spent on them.
Mr.. Common Sense taxpayer, who
are you, warranted in making the un-
qualified statement that none of the
dirt roads will be improved until all
the macadam roads have been built,
when this matter under the bond is
sue act is left to the sound judge
ment and discretion of the Board of
Supervisors and the State Highway
Commissioner?
You go so far as to say that the
leaders of the bond issue movement
were "acting in bad faith and that it
was done to mislead the voters and
catch their votes" You also say
that the leaders in the Clear Fork
district are guilty of the same
"trick" and "game. Now. this
is serious charge and you fail to
show that it is true. If you mean to
charge intentional wrong doing on the
part of these honorable citizens, then
we tell you that your statement is
false and without foundation in fact.
AS to the laying out of the roads
in Jetfersonville Magisteral District,
committee composed of Jas. p.
Whitman, Jas. Ed. Peery, and w. l..
Moore were appointed by mass
County. to select the roads to be
macadamized and otherwise improved
with the money to be raised with the
proposed 5000, 900 bond issue, and
this committee, after figuring with
compentent engineer reported the
roads set out in the order of the
Court, which was adopted by another
mass meeting. and accordingly these
roads were selected as being the roads
to be macadamized and otherwise inn
proved. Do you charge this commit
tee with having perpetrated fraud
upon their fellow men?
MIR. Common Sense Taxpayer, did
you deal fairly with the citizens of
this county, in your article?
In the Jeffersonville district, there
are 81 1-2 miles of twelve foot mac
adam road proposed to be built, and
20 Id miles of nine foot macadam
road, and Sd Id miles of dirt road
proposed to be otherwise improved.
About 13 miles of the twelve foot
road is old macadam and 8 1-2 miles
is new road. We submit the follow
ing calculations for the consideration
of the voters of this county.
8 1-2 miles of new macdam,
twelve feet wide, at $4,000
per mile, $42. 500
13 miles of old, macadam
road, twelve feet wide, re-
paired at 81, 800 per mile, 19,5Oo

Mr. PARKS BACK
FROM DALLAS
Trip Made in Interest Of Numerous
improvements To Be Made
In His Store.

Mr.. Z. FyParks has just returned
from short trip to Dallas, where he
has been in the interest OF his new
business. He is making arrangements
to give to Bryan one of the most up
to-date furniture and buggy stores in
the state, and has been spending sew
eral days in Dallas making investiga-
lions preparatory TO installing the i'm
provements he contemplates in his
store arrangement.
Mr.. Parks outlined to the reporter
some of the improvements to be made
and showed us the drawing plans for
same These improvements are now
being made and when completed will
convert his store into one Of the most
modern, complete and up-to-date bust
ness homes in the state. 1t will be a
credit to a city of $4,000 inhabitants.
A part of the Improvements will be
complete double-deeking along the
entire south and east sides of the
building, giving more room and afford
| ing an opportunity 10 better display
| his fine furniture and other goods
Complete rooms of a home, with art
windows, beam ceilings, etc, will be
made. and in these the latest and most
elegant things in house furnishing;
will be shown.
4, In the course of his conversation Mr.
Parks mentioned that his brother, Mr.
j. F. Parks, Jr., a former resident Of
this city, who is now president of the
Dallas Coffin Company at Dallas. i;
busily engaged in the erection Of his
new factory building.
The Dallas Coffin Company has, IN
the four years OF, its existence, as
sumed large proportions and will
when the new Improvements are com
pleted. be one of the largest as vel
as one Of the most up-to-date fac
tories in that line of business in the
country. Its buildings occupy a full
city block and are of the most modern
fire-proof construction. The Dalla:

artesian well on its premises and viii
generate the electricity TO furnish its
own power, lights, etc. Nothing has
been overlooked, and no expense
spared, to make this new building
complete in every respect.

APPLE GRADING SCHOOL ENDS
Hood River Expert Concludes Task
of InstructinE Growers Into
Myateriea.

The apple packing and grading school
which has been in progress at the Audi
torium building all week concluded last
evening. The work of the school has been
very satisfactory to Prof. Green of Iowa
Agricultural college and to all who took the
courses of instruction given by Mr.. Cooper,
the Hood River expert. 1t was very much
regretted that so few orchardists awaited
themselves of the opportunity to learn the
science Of grading and packing apples in
the manner that has enabled the pack of
western growers to command the markets
OF the world Those who did avail them
selves of it received reward worth dol
lars for every penny it cost. 1t was a
singular fact also, that nearly all of those
who took the course came from distance.
Very few of the apple growers in the imme-
date vicinity of the city found the time.
II they had the inclination, to attend.
Nearly all of the apples packed and graded
were yesterday placed in cold storage and
will form part of, the local exhibit at the
National Horticultural exposition at St.
Joseph. Most of those selected for exhibit
ton were wealthies taken from the state $
experimental farm and the Keeline or
chard, the only two orchards in this vicin-
ity that have had the benefit of scientific
care and treatment during the present
season.

FIREMAN WRIeHT'S HOME
BURNS; FAMILY ESCAPES
Fox Terrier Awakens Mother Barely
In Time 60 save Her Life and
that of Family.

The home of Edward r. Wright. driver
at fire station No 2. was totally destroyed
by fire between and o'clock yesterday
morning, and his family Of wife and seven
children would undoubtedly have perished
In the flames IL Mrs Wright had not been
aroused by their intelligent fox terrier.
The house was filled with flame and
smoke when the dog succeeded in awaken
ing Mrs. Wright and then ran into the
rooms OF the sleeping children barking
fu1ously and tuggint at the clothing on
their beds. The children range In age from
IS to year, and all were sound asleep and
were beginning to he Supplied by the smoke
when the dog succeeded in fully arousing
the mother. She had barely time to hustle
them out of their beds and into tn yard.
1t was the second time the lives of Fire
man wright's family have been saved by
the watchful intelligence OF a fox terrier
The Wright home is located at 1902 Ave-
nue. X. and was a seven-room cottage which
he had bought from j. E Hollenbeck and
was paying for on the installment plan
and was nearing the last payment. Il is
believed the fire originated from the ex-
plosion OF a lamp that was turned down
low and designed TO burn all night. The
rapidity with which the flames spread in
dictated the presence OF inflammable ma
terial, and the center of the fire appeared
10 be in the room where the lamp had stood.
The alarm was received at 2:2O o'clock and
when Driver Wright and firernen from
other stations arrived the roof had fallen
in. Neghbors who came early succeeded in
saving a few articles Of household furniture
but practically all Of the contents were de-
stroyed with the building. A small amount
of insurance was carried on the building
and another small policy had been placed
on the furniture, but had not been trans
ferred after the family moved into the new
home.

in the night time was when their home Al;

siblc to adjust heir own turins and
that 1t sens probable that in COM
pliance with this order carriers must
establish rates In substantial accord
with those suggested 10y US. 1t should
bee ever borne in mind that the acute
complaint IN thi scase Is the dscrlm-
inatlon and not the unreasonable rate.
Obedience to this order will doubtless
result in some rates from the east
which are higher and in others which
are lower than those suggested by tho
commission since we did not then feel
at liberty, as the complianants re.
uuestcd, to make the Spokane rate de.
pend upon the coast rate. Eut 1t is
likely that the resulting schedule win
be moro satisfactory to the complains
ants and more burdeusomc upon the
defendants If the carriers establish
under this disposition OF the case rates
To Spokane which are excessive, a fur
cceding reducing them to a propo.
basis"
In an elaborate discussion OF the
thcr order can be made IN this pro-
long g-aud-short-haul provision in tho
so-called Reno case and the Phoenix,
Arizona, case, Commissioner Lane,
who prepared the opinions in these
cases for the commission asserts that
1t must he altrmatNely shown by the
carriers seeking exceptions to the long
and short haul provisions that an In
Justice win not be done to iuterme-
dletr points boy allowing lower rates TO
the more distant points.
'1hc ntondmcnt of the amended
law says Commissioner Lane. "is to
mako It's prohibition of the higher
rate for the shorter haul rule Of
woll-nigh universal application from
which this commission may dcylato
only I'm special cases and then to meet
transportation circumstances which
are beyond tho carriers control"
10 Is held that "n the light of his
tory Il is not to bc EaIusaid that the
lrauscontnental lines must give con-
,idorouon to sea competition" 1t was
held, also, however, chat the carriers
herein involved have 1ot shown that
undue dlscrimuNuo was not effected
hy their rate adjustments between
points iu Nevada and points In CALI
fornia; nor have they established that
the rates 4 the coast cities, II ex-
tended by thcm from eastern points
outside the zone OF water influences
are not fully compensatory"
The trnuscontinontal carriers. ther-
fore, are ordered to readjust their
present rates 10y October Is, next,
from eastern territories to intermedi-
ate points as compared with the rates
from Nevada points to the Pacific
Coust This win make a reduction Of
rates TO Reno and Nevada common
points from the east OF approximately
33 Is percent.
