FOR ROCKHOLD CREEK
The County Commissioners Decide
Question Under Consideration

FAVORABLER RECOMMENDATION
Third District Citizen Also Wants
Wharf Built In Rock Creek.

The County Commissioners have
at last settled the much mooted cues
tion, as to the necessity of construct
ing county wharf at Rockhold
creek, in the Eighth district.
This matter has been under consid-
Grafton for several weeks, and there
have been reports and petitions, both
favorable and unfavorable to the prop
ostion. The question was re-opened
recently and another committee was
appointed to investigate as to the
need of this wharf The committee
was composed of Messrs. James H.
Jones, George w. Nutwell and Thomas
L. Foard, and at the meeting of the
Board on Tuesday, they submitted
a report urging the public necessity
for constructing the wharf. Where
upon the Board instructed the County
Engineer to prepare plans for the
work, after an easement for the APP
proach to said wharf is secured.
A large number of citizens of the
Third district have petitioned the
Board to build a wharf in Rock creek.
A delegation was also before the
Board and pointed out the convenience
that the said wharf would afford citi-
zens. The Board named President
Smith and Messrs. Pettebone and
Douw to investigate the matter.
Joseph M. Brian, 3rd, was award
ed the contract for operating road ma
chimes in the First and Second pre-
cincts of the Fifth district. Mr..
Brian was the lowest bidder. He con-
tracted to furnish horses, etc, at the
rate of $l4 per day. The only other
bid submitted was that by H. C.
Burke, at SIG per day.
The Board has been notified of the
death of James Pointer a coIored
patient from this county at the
Montevue State Hospital for the In
sane. Pointer was committed to
the institution on January IS, and
died on October L.

TWENTY VARIETIES.
Beautiful Dahlias Cultivated By Kaiser
To High State OF Perfection.

What has been accomplished in
the cultivation of dahlias, the queen
Of the early autumn, can only be an
preciated when a variety of colors
and exquisite flowers of the dahlia
snecies ara eaan ---C,-aI.- -----Ii-t-,,...,,
hot houses of Kaiser, the florist, and
it is worth walk there these beau
tiful autumn days to see the flowers.
Mr.. Kaiser has made a speciality of
dahlias this autumn, and has taken
great care to cultivate a varied as
sortment of this flower. Twenty
different varieties were seen at Kai-
ser's hot houses day or two ago.
The following are some of Mr.. Kai-
ser's speciaties: The Souv de Nine
More au, Master Carl, Ethel, Emily,
Mrs. Roosevelt. Nine. A. Lumier, Wm
Agnew, Countess Lownsdale, Pink
Calumet, Mrs. Hopponer, Nine. Vandell
Del, ,Souv de Gustave, Douzon, Flora,
Glorie de Lyons, Cuban Giant, Pre-
toria, Black Beauty, Mrs. Charles
Scott and Gettysburg.
Each is different from the other,
not only in coloring, but in arrange
ment of petals and almost distinctive
in shape of flower. Some are of mar
row slender petals, almost like the
chrysanthemum, and others like the
rose. The "Mrs. Roosevelt" is an
exquisite pink dahlia, large, full, yet
delicate. There are crimson dahlias,
and deep maroon, cerise, coral and
golden, and there are variegated
dahlias as we'll as pure white.
Indeed, the dahlia has been cult
vated to such high state of perfec'
tion in horticulture that the popular
chrysanthemum, the so-called" queer
of autumn" flowers, has a most
formidable rival in the dahlia To ap
preciate the beauty of these flowers

"A Chance For Labor
To Help It's Cause.

The friends of organized labor have
been disappointed in the stand taken
by labor organizations throughout the
country in their efforts to hamper the
prosecution Of those charged with the
crime Of blowing up the building Of the
Los Angeles Times.
It is all right that the labor organ
izations should help provide funds tc
secure attorneys for the defense of the
accused men, but they should be
equally as interested in the prosecu-
ton, for if the men are guilty Of the
dastardly crime, organized labor will
be much better on with men of this
caliber out of the ranks. II they are
guilty the labor unions also ought to
be the very ones to desire their con-
viction
But the unions have taken another
position and have proclaimed that the
arrest of the men and the finding of
the dynamite was a put-up plot
against certain leaders Of organized
labor. Such tactics will hurt the cause
of labor. If the men are cleared OF
the charges, then there win be time to
condemn the officers If they did at
tempt to convict innocent people.
The Los Angeles Times wreck was a
horrible affair in which innocent men
were killed by INSCRIPTIONS and heart
less murderers and every effort should
be made to punish those responsible
for the act.
Union labor has had to bear tbs
stain of the cowardly act, although nc
fair minded people believe that the la,
Dor organizations were connected witt
the affair, even if some of the members
Of the organizations did do the work
This is an opportunity for the labol
leaders to make a stand for principle
and to assist in every way possible tn
prosecution Of the men charged witt
the dastardly deed. II they are limo
cent, they have little to fear in tn
courts of the country. If they ar
guilty every laboring man should re
dolce in their conviction.
There is no question but that uniol
labor has been compelled to bear tn
brunt OF much false accusation; ha
been compelled to suffer for the sin
OF some murderous members, and tn
Los Angeles case is rare opportunit.
for the unions to keep quiet until tn
law has taken it's course.

What the Free List
Will Do For Farmers.

Representative Hill is opposed to the
farmers free list and he declares the
list as proposed by the Democrats will
mean q reduction in duties of fifty
million dollars and not twelve million
as claimed by the Democrats. We do
not know whether the gentleman from
Connecticut is correct in his estimates
or not, but we hope he is entirely
correct.
That is exactly what we want to
happen. If the reduction would amount
to a hundred million it would suit the
farmers and the Democrats better.
Why sho1ld he object to the reduc-
ton? Aren't the farmers entitled to
some consideration? If the free list
keeps the farmers from paying fifty
million dollars in tariffs, it will mean
that the money interests viii be short
