uty sheriffs may arrest all boys wan dering or loitering about the streets during the usual school hours of the school term, and may send truants to school. It is therefore evident that each and every police officer is tru- ant officer in the general or common acceptance of the term.
 In order that some such officer shall make it his special duty to look after truants it has been customary to ap- for that purpose To do this, one at least of the regular elected consta- bles must fail to qualify within thirty days of election. Such constable may be allowed fees by the selectmen Tor all arrests Ky him made upon filing with the selectmen a written state ment showing the name of each boy arrest was made, and if the boy did return at school the name or number of the school to which he was so re- turned In addition to the foregoing appointments, the statute also pro vdes that the selectmen may appoint committees of school districts and janitors of school buildings and other persons on nomination by the school visitors or board of education Of an incorporated school district, special constables with power to arrest for truancy and violation of school laws.
 TIe statute further provides that the town school committee shall nave the powers and duties of school wis itors. so that this particular class Of special constables, that is, members of school district, janitors of school buildings and persons nominated by school visitors should be appointed special constables, only upon the rec o1nmendation of sai5 school visitors, or upon the recommendation of the town school committee.
 I understand that the town school committee mas made no nomination under this statute for the appointment of q special constable, and that salo committee did recommend the appoint ment of a truant officer.
 As I have pointed out, there IS not at present any such office to be hiled.
 From the foregoing resume of the law it is plain that the se1ectmen or their own initiative, may appoint special constable if a vacancy exists, who may make it his duty to enforce the law relative to truants. The select men may also appoint other special constables upon nomination of the school committee, if they deem the same necessary. Respectfully,
 THOMAS J. KELLEY.

TRUANT OFFICER.
Appointment Questioned After Thirty Years-Said to Be Attempt to Freeze Out James Haggerty-Town Coun- seIs Cpinion.

The matter of the appointment of a truant officer. so-called for the past thirty years in the town of Windham, is receiving attention by people Of the towr ard city and will continue to be discussed until the question is settled.
 Since the appointment was held up by the board of selectmen at its spe- cial meeting Wednesday afternoon an opinion firm the town counsel has been received and is appended
 The republican member of the board of selectmen. S Arnold Peckham, is of the opinion that inasmuch as the board can't legally appoint James F. Twonley as he was not recommended, and the opinion of the town counsel is to the effect that there is no such officer as truaIt officer that the board wants to defeat James Haggerty, wko received the recommendation or the town school committee for :he office.
 Back in 1889 the town at it's annual town .reeting appropriated the sun, of s200 for the salary of the truant off cer, because under the former fee sys- tenn the official did not get enough out of the job to warrant his putting the amount of time required to per form the duties.
 At that same election Thomas J. Kelley, now town counsel, was elected town fclerk and treasurer and for the following three years paid the sum Of S2a0 annuallyato the truant officer up on order from the board of selectmen. The same sum has annually been paid to;what is styled a truant officer each year since that time and had become to De considered perfectly legitimate and proper, as it-Was believed that the stsaf&nt O. 9ta1e electors in that 1889 town meeting was to have a salary | for the trusnt officer.

CROPS
IN JEOPARDY

Eaton, Aug. S.-Deprived of the
use of 200,000,000 feet OF water for
late irrigation by the refusal of
Charles Hottell of the Hottel Flour
mills Of Fort Collins, to fulfill his
alleged contract with them which
has been in force 90 years. Eaton
farmers say today that they are fac
ing a most serious crop condition
and that there will be loss of so
per cent OF their crops unless differ
ences are quickly adjusted and the
water furnished.
Farmers under the Eaton ditch
own water in the Windsor reservoir,
which is below the Eaton ditch, but
by a system of transfers this water
Is exchanged for similar amount of
river water owned by No. 2 ditch.
and the latter's supply is turned di-
rectly from the river into the Eaton
ditch. The No. 2 ditch then takes
the Windsor reservoir water. MI.
Hottell, manager OF the mills at
Fort Collins. has however, q prior
ity claim on the use of the river
water for power to operate his mills.
For 20 years he has not used the
water for milling purposes, in order
to allow the Eaton ditch to take II
from the river above his mills by
the foregoing system of exchange,
provided the Eaton Ditch company
furnish coal and an engineer to op-
crate his mills by steam during the
summer.
w. R. Clark. a well-known farm
er, and director in the Eaton ditch
and the Windsor Reservoir COM
pany, said tonight: I'VE are count
ing ON this arrangement again this
year. and were dumfounded, q few
would operate his mills by water
Eaton farmers Of their main supply
for late irrigation. We have care
fully conserved 2OO,O0O,000 feet OF
water in the Windsor reservoir to
turn over to No. 2 ditch and the
latter was ready to carry out its
usual arrangements. Coming at this
time, when water is needed imme-
dfately for late irrigation, the re-
fusal OF Mr.. Hottell is q matter Of
great concern to the entire Eaton
country and the lack of the water
means loss of Thousands of dollars
IN crops and 1t represents about
one-third Of our entire supply.
| Mr.. Hottell says he has been
instructed by his attorneys to pro.
ceed in the foregoing way, as hi
attorney holds that previous ar
rangements are jeopardizing to hi
interests in the river water"
Eaton farmers say it Is too late t.
take legal proceedings to Obtain
the use of the water this year, ant
a committee of farmers will confer
Immediately with Mr.. Hottell ant
]. X. Mullin, head of the milling in
terests, in an endeavor to get tn,
use Of the water this year on tn,
same basis as on previous years.
