FERRY MEETING
A Mass Meeting Was held Tues
day Evening to Discuss Road
and Ferry improvements

A mass meeting was held in
Tanners Hall Tuesday evening for
the purpose Of raising funds to be
used on the road to the ferry which
is in very bad condition and also
IN regard to improving the ferry.
G. w. Tanner was elected chair.
man and Sterling West secretary
and the business of the evening
was soon under discussion. In
regard to the road Mayor Slette
said that he had been before the
honorable board of commissioners
and presented the situation to them
and asked for 81 900 road money
to be used on said road-but to no
purpose. Mr.. West said that in
talk with Commissioner Mcbride
he was advised to get signers to
the amount Of $500 or so for Gull
bertson's share and they, the Co.
CON-, would more likely consider
the situation.
1t was decided to use the Fourth
of July money for fixing up the
road to the ferry although before
doing SO each and every signer
would be interviewed and given a
chance TO withdraw their money if
they so desired. 1t was thought,
however, that very few would with
draw and many intimated that they
would double their donation il
necessary. There have been a
dozen instances where farmers
have decided to go elsewhere just
on account of the mile or more OF
bad road between Culbertson and

A committee consisting OF X. o.

poirted by Mr. Tanner TO look after
the road matter and also to have

fixed up at once. Mr.. Mathews
donated his services as engineer to
look over same.
Various suggestions were made
to improving the ferry. One was

help pull or push the ferry across.
1t was thought that it would not
take a great amount OF power to do
this. A committee consisting OF
l. L. Brooks. Chm; Ed. Juelson
and G. w. Tanner were appointed
by the chair to look into the mat
ter and report at the next meeting.
Later the committee appointed
on the road passed around a peti
,ion in Culbertson asking the coun-
ty commissioners TO appropriate
$500 for the road between Gull
bertson and the river and agreeing |
to furnish $500 to go with that sum
to put the said road in permanent
good shape. This petition was
generally signed by Culbertson cit
zens and it IS to be hoped that the
commissioners will take
favorable action upon same.

A STUDY IN STATES RIGHTS" | By Rev. J. H. Moore The Neale Pub fishing Company New York
 | The Rev. J H. Moore, the author of States Rights" has divided his book
 into six studes-"The Rights of the States Under the Constitution The Convention of 17S7," Distortion of the | History of the Acts of the Convention,' ,' l "Federals Vs. Republicans" and "The | Hartford Convention"-e and all of l them being treated in a most scholarly
 and erudite manner, showing that a full
 knowledge of each situation has been
 mastered by the writer.
 1 MT. Moore, himself a Virginian, starts out to provo that the men who fought
 under the banner and leadership of Jeff ferson Davis, were the men who fought for the constitutional principles given us by the founders of the Federal govern
 ment of the United States.
 He would have nothing to do with the constitutional views held by the his
 torians, Motley and Fiske, and the law yers, Story and Webster.
 Going into the question of the framing
 of the Constitution very carefully. quot ing Madisons reports on the Constitu- ton and giving Senator Robert Toombs'
 famous speech in the United States, Jan
 uary :. 1861, the author presents most readable volume one which will no doubt
 have a large following.
 He closes his book with this statement: When MT. Davis and his associates armed themselves it was not to over throw the government of the United States, but to defend themselves against any effort of that party administering the Federal government to compel them
 to do what they knew the Constitution
 did not obllgate and require them to do."

SAM PARKER PAYS
SIS FOR POI BOWLS

SAN FRANCISCO. Sam Parker,
Hawaiian millionaire and sponsor
for the old royal family, had his peace
of mind greatly disturbed yesterday
when Camille Solari, the restaura-
teur, demanded his poi bowls back
again or the equivalent in cash.
Parker was about to leave the Stew
art hotel when Solari made his de-
mand, and so effective was the Ital-
ian's persistency In demanding that
the Hawaiian open up his trunks and
give back to him his treasured china
that the sugar planter almost missed
the steamship Wilhelmina.
Parker has been in the habit of
storing his cans of poi, the national
breakfast food, in Solarfs kitchen.
On occasion, when he intended to
dine outside, he usually had por-
ton of poi placed in bowl and tied
in napkin. The Hawaiian always
carries this portion of the menu with
him, even when invited to friends
house.
Solari claimed yesterday that none
of the bowls Parker has been using
to accompany his favorite food have
been returned, and so stopped the
capitalist at the door of the hotel
with a demand for their return or S.
in cash. Parker was angry and said
things that might have been heard
even. to the waterfront, but he paid
the money, while Solari sat on his
trunks. ..>.
