Dartmouth Elevator Burns


Fire, which was due, it is un,
deHtOOd, to some trouble with the
gas engine, Monday evening, des
strOyed the Wolf elevator at
Dartmouth five miles east of town
The elevator was burned to the
ground and it was only by the
hardest of work on the part of
L. j. DeGarmo and some of thA
neighbOrs that his residence was
saved. He is manager Of the ele-
vatOr. A box ear standing on the
track nearby was aslsO consumed.
1t happened that the track was
not ObStructed so & at the trains
were not delayed. "
1t is very likely that the VOLTS.
will at once commence the erec-
ton of a new and modern eleva-
tor on the site of the old one as
the Dartmouth station taps a
rich grain territory and they
want to care for the heavy fail
business.
The elevator contained about
5000 bushels of wheat. The
structure and contents carried
insurance to cover half the loss.

Logan Township

The board viewed the section
line road between sections } and
: near the Dalziell grove and it
seemed to the board as impracti-
cal 20 lay out road around the
~. III bank of the creek. -..
The creek crosses the road five
times and at some of the places
il is almost impossible to main
tain good bridges but small ce-
ment bridges could be put in that
would stand theflOOdS if the town
ship would do part of the work
and if there was enough travel to
justify the county in going to 50
much expense.
The cement bridge built across
Cow creek between sections s and
9 by W. D. FauS in 1908 is badly
washed out at the abuttmentS.
The board will take the matter
up at their meeting in July.
The bridge that was washed out
between II and % was an iron
bridge. The large iron beams
were still lying in the bed of the
creek. This road is not Travelled
very much and in the opinion Of
the board they do not feel like
placing large bridge at this
point. However the matter will
be taken up at the July meeting.
The other iron bridges in the
township were in good condition
but will soon need paint and new
floors.
The roads here are also graded
too narrow and the road drag
should be used. Mr.. John ROble
Is the trustee and it is his pur-
pose to get the roads and bridges
in his township in good condition.

MAINE PUMPS STARTED

Havana, June 6.-The prelm-
mary stage in the work of ex-
posing the wreck of the battle
ship Maine was completed yeSter-
day afternoon, when repairs to
the caiSSOn. ruptured two weeks
ago, were finished by the driving
of the last interlOcking piles. I'M
mediately the work of pumping
out the water from the main cof-
ferdam was begun, and the waiter
level had been lowered two feet
when work was suspended.
At this stage of the operation,
no Indications have been observ-
ed of afy instability in the re-
tanning walls. The pumping will
be resumed tomorrow, and it is
expected the water level in the
eOfferdam will be lowered about
five feet.
This will suffice to expose most
of the after deck. which was re-
mote from the immediate effects
Cf the explosion. After consider
able water has been removed. the
pumping operations probably will
be suspended for ten days, so thai
the most careful tests of the
strength of the retaining wall
may be made before the entire
wreck is freed from the water.
Present indications are that
some weeks must elapSe before a
complete examination is possible.
The lowering Of the water Level
this afternoon merely gets a clear
er view of the afterdeck than has
been possible heretofore, showing
il to be encumbered with barna-
cleS and other marine growth.
The most important feature of
the removal of the water so far
is the strong indication that the
main cOfferdam will fulfill all
expectations of the army engin-
eers by resisting the tremendous
water pressure from the outside.

Albion Township

The west side of the township
needs more road work done; most
all of the roads are 80 and 60
foot roads and it seems that they
are being graded too narrow.
The reinforced concrete bridge
built near the NJ. F. Bell farm by
Neely from Larned is the best
bridge in Barton county. 1t is a
20 foot roadway by 40 feet in
length. A fine stone and cement
arch way with a flat top. Was
built in 1907 at a total expense of
$1,000. 1t is in perfect condition
and will need no repairs.
The iron bridges near the Car
roll farm are in excellent cOndi-
tiOn, having been recently flOOred
by the county. The bridge re-
Gently repaired north of Boyd by
Dan Miller, Jr., at an expense of
about 5000 was in good shape.
The roads on the east side Of
the township were being put in
much better condition, but those
that were recently graded need
dragging, especially after the
rains.

. Must Pay For Paper

Taking the paper out of the
. pOStOffice makes the recipient IL
able for the bill. 0. D. Austin. a
Butler, Mo-, publisher; sent his
paper to Charles Burge. The lat
ter paid for it twice and then re-
fused to pay again. He said he
ordered it stopped. But the court
Of appeals holds that mere ac,
.ceptance of the paper created a
liability. i adds:
"The preparation and publica.
ton of a newspaper, involves
much mental and physical labor
as well as an outlay Of money
One who, accepts the paper by
continuously taking it from the
pOStOffice receives a benefit and
pleasure arising from such labor
and expenditure as fully as if he
had appropriated any other pro.
duct of anOther's labor, and by
such act he must be. held liable
for the subscription price. THE

Grant Township

needs working and at places is
too narrow, especially near the
creek leading into Blood creek.
Near the creek the road is only
40 feet wide but the remainder is
90 feet and it seems that the fenc

Sented to the board for a small
bridge across the creek between
sections 13 and IA. and after view
ing the site the board decided to
take the matter up at the July
meeting.
The iron bridge near the Ben
Whaley farm was in good cOndi-
tiOn except that it will soon need
more flooring and the township
board was notified to fill in at
the east end of the bridge, where
1t is washing out the foundation.

Veteran Editor Quits .

Following closely on the heels
Of the retirement of J. Z. Junkin
from the newspaper field after
years Of service. comes the an.
nouncement that Clyde McMani-
gal, the veteran editor of Brown
county, has sold his paper, The
Horton Commercial, to Chas. H.
Brown, the editor of the Head,

in the harness at Horton ever
Smce the town was started, and
has given the people of that Sec
tiOn of the state an excellent new
paper. Likewise Bro. Brown. one
CT the bright men in newspaper
dom among the younger crowd,
has given the best of service, and
in having the field to himself in
the future will no doubt be in a
position to do better than ever.

Walnut Township

The iron. bridges across the Wa
nut creek near Albert need new
flooring and the township board
are preparing to do this soon as
possible. The township is doing
considerable road work but they
need dragging where it has been
graded. Two road petitions had
been presented to the board for
the opening of two rCadways from
the section line west from 0lmitz
into town. Both petitions were
regular but since there seems to
be a controversy over them and
ii seeming to the board as being
unnecessary that both roads be
opened at this time, the matter
was laid over.

Play Ball On Sunday, He Says

"The Sabbath was no. made
for the church. though the church
sometimes attempts to mOnopOlize
it. 1t was made for man" de-
clares the Rev. Hyatt of the Con-
gregatiOnal church of FL Reno.
Rev. Hyatt placed his stamp Of
approval on Sunday baseball and
other recreatiOnS in these terms:
81 cant see any more harm in
a boy throwing a ball or hitting
it if it comes tempting near and
he has a good bat, or catching it
if he thinks he can without get
ting hs face smashed. than for the
church deacOns to drive their
autos abOt the country at a thirty
mile rate. 1t jerks their muscles
just about as hard to keep their
equilibrium in the auto as it does
for the boy TO- throw the ball and
ii is not less noisy.
"The' man who says lie can keel
his mind off the occupation that
he follows six days of the week
for all of Sunday is a freak. It
is an imposSibility and Is not
demanded. "
As we worship publicly so is
most of our amusement public.
And both should be publicly sup
ported and indulged in on Sun
day. Worship should come first
on Sunday as God be first in our
thoughts every day."
"AS We have time for pleasure
on Sunday we should. on the
principal of the square deal''
take time for worship as religion
gives us the day. ..
"Christ and his disciples took
pleasure walking in the fields on
the Sabbath day, but his custom
was alse to go into the synagogue
on the Sabbath day and worship.
"After the of worship let the
clerk, merchant and others of sed-
enteery occupations get out into
the fresh air and enjoy the bleS-
sings Of God on his day Of rest. "

Independent Township

The bridge across the Cow
creek near Fred Galloway farm is
in good condition except that it
will soon need a new floor. 1t is
a large iron structure and it seem
that this iron structure like a
number Of other iron bridges in
sDected would bear up a concrete
floor and this would be a great
savings to the township and to tn
county.
