gon Short Line Railroad has the plans
prepared for a depot and viii with
in a few months commence the work
Of construction on a handsome two

NETT of the get-acquainted special
which had on board the heads Of the
various departments Of the Short

iastic crowd of Medbury Valley peo-
pie which gathered to welcome the
railroad people and to present to them
the requests they had to make OF
the management Mr.. Hammett, pres
ident Of the irrigation company, had
accompanied the special from Salt
Lake and had made a showing to the
officials that had resulted in the decis-
ion of the company to erect a hand
some and commodious station struc-
ture in this well-located and fast
growing town.
r. w. Simpkins as the spokesman
Of the assembled settlers welcomed
the railroad party which arrived at
2:15 p. m, which was informed that
Medbury Valley had arrived at the
era Of production and that it would
even this year surprise not only the
Short Line but everyone else not in
timately acquainted with the marvel
Gus productive capacity Of Medbury
Valleys soil and climate. The officials
evinced surprise to learn that the
Melon Growers Association were
making plans for the shipment Of
400 carloads Of watermelons and
cantaloupe and gave the assurance
that there would be no shortage Of
cars at shipping time. The committee
was assured that a spur would be

words the wrongs being perpetuated
upon the settlers who own lands
along Snake river by the power site
withdrawal farce enacted by the in
terror department. under which no
one is allowed to perfect title TO his
land so that they may be developed.
The matter had never before come to
the attention of the officials and they
stated that they would give to the af-
flicted settlers such aid as laid in
their power
just prior to the departure Of the
special the railroad men proposed
three cheers for Hon. c. Fl. Hammett,
the man who made possible the fin

and indicated the esteem in which
Mr.. Hammett is held in this COM

Marvellous Change in Keyser After
Nearly Two Years Without

\
On July /, 1909, the County Court of
Mineral County voted to exclude the sa-
looms from that County, in which is To-
Gated Keyser. Prior to the Punishment
of the saloons the citizens experienced
all the ills that grow ~ ut of saloons, but
immediately upon the closing of the
saloons that place seemed to be new
town. The record of the police court
shows that the arrests within the mu.
nicipaity have fallen off about eighty
per cent, and today after two years
experiehee, Keysercan be said to be a
model town One patrolman recently
said that he had not made an arrest in
three months, he being the only night
patrolman in the town. It was claimed
when the saloons were put out of that
municipality that houses would become
vacant and that the town would never
urvive the shock. Today every house
is occupied within the municipality
and the reaIestate men cannot supply
the demand of new applicants for
houses. Women are being fed anil
children clothed, who prior to two
years ago saw their husbands and faith
ers spend all his earnings for drink,
and was never known to be at home,
unless it was at meal time or to sleep.
But in these very same homes today
the father is spending every dollar he
makes for The good the family, and
instead OF bafing in the saloons and
on the street corners, is giving his
spare moments to his wife and children.
Keyser as county seat has witness
ed another great change in the last two
years. When the saloons had full sway
the Grand Jury OF Mineral county was
in session many days and found many
indictments. But the total work of
all the Grand Juries for the past two
years has not aggregated much more
than the work formerly done by one
Grand Jury. The county Jail of Min
eral county is practically q useless in
stitution. as no one lives therein for
any considerable time except the iailer
and his family. When the soloons were
in Keyser the women and girls did not
dare 60 on the streets where the sa-
looms were located, and if they did it
was always with degree Of great
hesitancy.s But now even child can
go into any part Of the town without
fear of moIsstation. When the saloons
were banished from Keyser. it was
claimed that the increasee tax rate
would be damaging to the town. The
truth is that the year. 1910, which was
the first full calendar year that Keyser
has not had saloons, witnessed the low
est municipal tax known in Keyser for
many. many years.
The noticeable difference in the bust,
ness Of KcYser is that the money that
formerly went into the till of the saloon
keeper now goes into the hands of the
merchant, the butcher and ALL other
people of business.

Cheap waII Pepper.

Eseh season we are impressed more
and more with the fact that wall paper
of The cheaper grade is becoming more
popular. The reason of this is that we
get tired'of looking at the old paper on
the wall, and want something new and
different TO look at. If we have paid
a high price for the paper we hesitate
to take off. but if it has been low
priced paper, off it comes. Then, too,
it is mo sanitary. People have dis
covered these facts and now they buy
low priced paper. Makers have discoy-

CHENAULT IS
SHORT AGAIN
At Least Travelling Auditor
Cannot Find Taxes Paid
by Rock Island
HAD BIG DEFICIT BEFORE
Democratic Leader of Quay
County Arrested For Alleg'
ed Irregularities.

c. H. Chenault of Tucumcari, Dem
ocratic leader of, and former treas
urer of Quay county, is in trouble
again. In fact, he is in jail Travel
ing Auditor John Joerns had to leave
posthaste tonight to make another
thorough audit Of the ex-officials ac-
counts. Deputy Travelling Auditor r.
C. Rankin telegraphs that he has dis
covered another shortage of almost
$4,000 caused by Chenault issuing a
tax receipt to the Rock Island Rail-
way Company, and marking the stub
"void."
At previous audit by former
Travelling Auditor Charles " Stafford
Chenault was found $4,000 short. He
was permitted to resign and his
friends made good the shortage, for
Chenault is hale fellow we'll met.
with a host of friends as is always
the rule with free spenders. Mr.. SAT-
ford sent out about $500 notices to
tax payers to discover whether any
had paid taxes for which they re-
ceived no credit. This led to the
present discovery.
Even previous to the $4,000 short
age, Auditor John Joerns, then depu-
ty, had discovered Irregularities and
shortages which Chenault claimed
due to mistakes in bookkeeping and
which he was permitted to make good.
1t is feared, that further defalcations
will be discovered, and Mr. Joerns will
go over all the delinquent tax ac-
counts in which it is possible to
pocket large amounts. without it ap-
pearing on the face of the books.
These shortages have stirred the trav-
cling auditors department to deter
mination of still closer scrutiny of
official accounts although in the past
supervision has been very thorough
and Irregularities are bound to be dis
| covered under the system in vogue.
However, the department is short in
clerical help, defect which the next
/ Legislature must remedy.
