MUST DRAG ROADS.
Attorney General of Iowa Instructs
County Attorneys to Begin Man.
damus Proceedings if
Necessary.

Des Moines, Iowa, June AT
torney General Cosson today notified
all the county attorneys of Iowa that
if any road trustees refuse to make a
tax levy this year for dragging the
roads, mandamus proceedings are to
be commenced to enforce the levy
The purpose of these proceedings is
to have the courts determine wheth-
er or not it is mandatory for the
trustees TO levy the tax this year un-
der the provisions of the Cunning
ham road drag law passed by the
last legislature.
In his letter to the county attor-
neys he says in part:
THE duty of enforcing this law is
placed upon the township trustees
and county supervisors. The law is
mandatory in its nature, and the
work is expressly made a part of the
road work of the trustees and the
supervisors. They are authorized to
expend road funds, and it is also
made the duty of the county super
visors to call meeting of township
trustees and road supervisors be-
tween November and April of each
year to consider the best methods of
road work and weed destruction. A
failure to comply with the provisions
of said act is misdemeanor.
while the law places the duty on
the trustees, road superintendent
and members of the board of super
visors, the duty of seeing that these
several officers are properly advised
as to their duties and that they in
good faith perform such duties, de-
wolves upon the several county attor-
neys of the state and the attorney
general, and hence in the matter of
enforcing these laws l will be glad
to cooperate with you and with the
several officers who have the work in
charge to the end that a failure to
SEIZURE SOOu TOduS III lulS state Will
not be due to a lack of enforcement
of the statutes of the state"
He is also sending them a copy
of Special Counsel Lees opinion on
the law and printed synopsis of

trustees to make the levy this year;
that they must divide their township
into permanent road dragging dis
tricts this year; that the trustees
have authority, aside from the new
law, to make a drag levy; that the
one mill levy provided by the law is
an addition to the maximum permit
ted under the code; that trustees
may not accept positions as drag SUI
perintendents; that the law in all
provisions took effect April s, 1911,
and repealed all other conflicting
laws.

Valdez College.

Many graduates of the rural
schools will enter Valdez College on
Aug. 2S. The special one years
course can be completed by them in
one year. The course is especially
designed for prospective teachers. 1t
deals with certificate branches only
and is thorough preparation for
teachers of rural schools. Nothing
like this course has heretofore been
offered to the general public. 1t is
short, concise, practical, and is just
the course for the rural boy or girl
to pursue. The new catalog gives
full information. Send for it.

ator Kenyon is one of the men VINO

You May Carry a Gun.

Attorney General Cosson has rul-
ed that the state hunters license law
does not require that man who is
carrying a gun in the fields or for
rests, while on an errand or for the
purpose of shooting at mark, to
show a state license. The question
created fine distinction in the law.
The Interpretation was asked by Geo.
A. Lincoln, state fish and game war
den. The law provides that 1t shall
be prima faci evidence of violation
of the license law if person is
found with a gun in the fields, for
ests or the lakes or rivers or on the
ice without being able to produce a
state hunters license upon demand.
Warden Lincoln held this to mean
that every person who carries a gun
in the woods or fields or on the wa
ters of the state must have license
whether hunting or not. Attorney
General Cosson overrules this inter-
pretation.

wrought in the character and man
ner of life of many households,
which at the present time could
hardly occur in any but the most
crude of the backwoods settlements.
In one instance the reformation was
so marked that l cannot refrain
from making mention of it, though
1t was by no means an exceptional
case, for there were others of like
character, though none quite so
prominent.
1t was a family who lived nearly
two miles from the school house, on
farm among the hills. The moth
er was good, intelligent woman,
who wanted her children to grow up
in the enjoyment of better advan-
tages than had fallen to her lot. She
was neat, clean housekeeper, but
had little to do with because of the
husband, who was not bad man at
heart, was unable to resist the liquor
habit which had fastened itself upon
him. The consequence was that
whenever he took the produce of the
farm to market, which was distant
forty miles from his home, and re-
quired an absence of two days and
a night, he ain IT always fell into
bad company a ID generally squand-
cred in the saloons about all he had
received for his wheat or other pro-
duce. Before the revival, his wife
told me when l asked her why the
children never came to Sabbath
school, that they were without de-
cent clothes, the girls had no shoes,
and the older ones were ashamed to
appear barefooted among the other
children, so she was obliged to keep
them at home. The revival changed
all that. One night l noticed the
father at the rear of the school house
and going to him, l took him by the
hand and said: Come" without
a word he followed me to the front
of the school house where he fell up
on his knees and was soundly and
happily converted to God. 1t was a
joyous night for his family, for they
soon began to reap the fruits of his
conversion. One of the first things
he did was to go to market with a
load of grain and with the money
he received for it, he bought shoes
and other necessary things for his
wife and children. The change
wrought in that home was complete
and happy. No more drunken nus
band. No more heart-broken wife
No more shoeless children. From
that time forward it was a christian
home. There was plenty to eat and
plenty to wear. The family became
regular attendants at church; a
mortgage which had been placed on
the farm and which would have grad
ually eaten it up was eventually paid
off; the property was redeemed as
we'll as its owner The Northwest
ern Christian Advocate was subscrib-
ed for and the family was supplied
with good reading, and what had
been but a short time before a scene
of poverty, squalor and wretched-
ness, became, under the power of the
gospel, happy home.

Road Superintendents, Read This.

If road is to shed water it must
be hard and smooth and sloping
enough to run off the water 1t can
be made hard and smooth, only by
grading a little at a time with dirt
free from Sod There are roads
which need grading and the use of
the heavy grader seems justified, but
in these cases each layer should be
narrowed and rolled before another
is put on. The best way to grade a
dirt road is to plow furrow or two
on either side, work it up after
throwing the sod to- one side, then
pack it. Then work up another fur
row, and so on. 1t may take year
or two to get grade in this way,
but you get good road. The Iowa
law which forbids the putting of sod
on the roadbed ought to be enforced

While it was 'yritten with no
Intention of being made public,

such varied experiences, dating

would open up more than million

A citizens mass meeting to forward
the movement for good government
was held in the school auditorium at
Brawley last Thursday night and was
fairly well attended, although the

business men were conspicuous by
their absence.
A. l.. Sebille was made chairman
and he set forth the objects of the
meeting which embraced the enforce

proper persons on municipal ticket
to run for office; to see that they
were elected and to stop the illicit traf-
fic in liquor and to resist the illegal
sale of it in every manner.
Most of those present signed the
membership roll and deposited one
dollar each as a membership fee.

DARROW NOT IMPLICATED

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1.-THE Report
current that Clarence Darrow, chief
counsel of the Mcnamara brothers,
may be drawn into the jury bribing in
vestigation, as result of the prosecu-
ton of Bert Franklin, the chief de-
tense detective, was specifically de-
MED by District Attorney Fredericks
today after Darrow's name was men,
toned by George Lockwood, for brib-
ing whom Franklin was arrested.
Lockwood swore that Franklin told
him he would have to consult Darrow
before he could make arrangements
for safe custody" of the bribe money,
and latter said he had expected
Franklin to bring Darrow to his home
to talk things over" Fredericks,
when told that Darrow's name was
mentioned, denied that he had any ev-
idence which would warrant any Grim
inal proceedings against Darrow,
claiming that Lockwood's statement
was purely ''hearsay" evidence. Dar-
row took the same view as the prose-
cutors, saying that the coupling of his
name with bribery was unwarranted.
The bribery investigation of the jury
is to end with Franklin No attempt
will be made to find out where he got

Wounded indian Dies

Mitchell Shaw, the Yuma Indian who
was shot in a fight with Deputy Sher-
iff Kinney at the circus grounds a
couple of weeks ago, died yesterday.
After the shooting he was taken to the
county hospital and at first it was
thought that he might recover, but
for several days past it has been
recognized that his case was serious.
The other Indians were very much
averse to permitting him to remain
in the white mans house till his
death, several of them came to the
hospital yesterday and carried him
away. He was laid on cot and car
ried to his home on the reservation,
a few yards back of the Methodist
mission. He suffered greatly and
cried out several times while his
friends were carrying him along the
street and over the bridge. About an
hour and half after reaching the viii
lage he died. The funeral will take
place today and will be according to
the ancient rites of his tribe, which
includes the cremation of the body

ers' institutes yet held in Imperial
county closed it's work at the Imperial
Valley Union High School last Satur-
day Afternoon. This was the first of a
series of institutes to be held during
the school year in the various valley
towns.

sisted by Mrs. Hyatt, wife OF State
Superintendent of Schols Edward Hy-
att, who was unable to be here; Prof.
Edw Hardy, of the San Diego State
