The Georgetown water plant,
which will be sold at public sale
shortly, has been appraised by ex-
Sheriff Charles T. Purnsll and Pro-
thonotary N. Wallace White, at
$25, 900 Many citizens favor the
purchase of the plant by the town,
and the proposition will probably be
put to a vote of the people by a
special act of the legislature.

MOVEMENT TO CUT DOWN
KENT'S ROAD OVERSEERS
LEVY COURT HEARS ARGUMENT
BUT POSTPONES ACTION AWEEK
Instead of 100 Paid OVerseers as at
Present. the Plan is to Appoint One
Competent Man in Each District

"We'll think this over for a
few days. It's new thing and we
will test the public feeling. Let
us postpone the appointments for
one week." President James 7.
Truax of the Levy Court thus spoke
concerning the move made by prom
inent lawyers and Democratic lead
ers before that Democratic body IN
Dover Tuesday, to abolish 100 road
overseers and throw that many office
holders out of little jobs, in the in
terest of reform and an economical
and systematical administration OF
road improvement work. The Levy
Courtmen coincided with the pres
ident and the matter went over for
one week, and the 100 may never be
appointed. 1t looks like the last
call to dinner for a big and long un
popular political system in which
S25, 1000 to $40, 900 is spent every
year-it is claimed-withOut result.
A delegation of lawyers and citi-
zens attacked the road overseer
system. There was silence in the
court. and a number of spectators
occupied the rear benches when
James H. Hughes started off with
his appeal for the Levy Court to
postpone action on 3he reappoint-
ment of the 100 road overseers and
take time to devise an engineer s
pla1 of road improvement, which
would eventually give system and
order out of the present chaos. He
was followed by John B. Hutton,
Henry Ridgely and w. Watson
Harrington. They declared that the
law required the appointment Of
zone or more" road oVerseers from
each district and allowed the Levy
courtmen much latitude all through

Wrestling. which of late has fallen

movement.
Dan Mcleod. at one time heavy

OWn description, it must have been a
hummer.
How He Threw Gotch.
Here is Gotch's description of the
finish:
after a heap of coaxing and josh
ing. Mcleod finally consented to take
holds on the cinder road. We took
holds. and-well that is all / remem
Der of how and what happened. only
that he walked off with the money.
They carried me home--so they told
me a long while after. put me to bed
and hired a specialist to dig the Gin
ders out of my back. They did not
have to chloroform me either; I was
dead to the world. Dan Mcleod made
me look like a fool before all the town
people-people who regarded me as
the strongest and best wrestler on
earth"
When a 165-pound ma is talked
about like that by the great Frank
Gotch. YOU a lay a small wager that
he was some wrestler. For several
years Gotch was a little bit sore, but
he showed his sportmanship by CIV

him. He even a y that Mcleod was

Good for Railroads.

This makes a total of s1,025,oO0.
which is enough to interest even the
transcontinental railways. for the fares
OF returning passengers inc freight of
their cars will mount to $4,000.
No estimate is made of the money
spent by the tourists while on the Pa

depreciation in cars, and many new
machines are bought for the specific
purpose of transcontinental trips. 1t
is a certainty that the number Of cars
making this trip will increase by leaps
and bounds each year as road condi-
tions improve. Work is being done all
along the route this year to better
road conditions.
Perhaps the figures quoted are not
81 very surprising after all. in view
of the fact that DR.. F. L. Bartlett, good

S: Moorhead. 4.

Picketts, S: Moorhead, 4.
In one Of the fastest exhibitions of
baseball ever pulled off in the East
side %sportdome. the Picketts yester-
day afternoon defeated the Moorhead
team.
The game was virtually saved for
the Picketts in the first half of the
ninth square when Hugh McIlraith.
playing center field. made one Of the
prettiest catches of a fly ever seen
in the park. The score was 4 to 4
and had this ball not been nabbed
the visitors would undoubtedly have
taken the game. McIlraith's catch
was a real sensation. He pulled it in
like a veteran and put the crowd up
on its toes in a jiffy.
The Picketts' f1elders played a star
game throughout the show and their
work was really a feature Of the aft
ernoon's entertainment.
Twelve innings had to he played to
settle h battle. The Picketts won
in the twelfth thusly.
Norton singled to third. He beat
the ball out and landed safely on the
initial sack. On an overthrow to
first. he took second. Ludwig sacri-
feed him to third. Moorhead's
finger threw wild to the catcher and
Norton pranced across the pan with
the winning count.
The crowd went bugs"
The Picketts will play Red Lake

contest is looked for.

took trolley rides about the city.
