DEFEAT OF THE ROAD BOND
ISSUE.

The defeat of the road bond issue
is discouraging. 1t sounds very bad.
The news was flashed all over the
country last night:
Cameron county has refused
to vote a bond issue of $250,00O
for good roads.
Yes, indeed, it sounds very bad for
Cameron county to go on record
against the road bond issue.
II must be admitted, however, that
the time was hardly propitious for
holding this election. Had it been
postponed for perhaps six months, it
would have stood a much better
chance of being carried in favor of
the bond issue.
There are various reasons why the
bond issue did not carry. Chief
among them probably was that the
friends of the measure were not suf-
ficiently active in It's behalf. The
rainy weather of the past few days
was an unfavorable factor, in the
country district particularly. Poll
tics undoubtedly played an import
ant part. The nearness of the gen
eral election probably prevented any
great interest being taken in the
bond issue. There were other rea-
sons which it probably were be .ter
TO touch upon lightly.
Still, despite the defeat, The Her.
aid feels sure that the great majority
of our citizens in both city and
country in reality do earnestly de-
sire the construction of a thorough
system Of good roads throughout the
county. They were not sufficiently
acquainted with the subject. Had
they understood it better, they would
have voted for the bond issue.
Cameron county does want good
roads and will vote a bond issue for
the purpose. Before this can be
done, however, the promoters of the
move must organize thoroughly and
conduct an active and far-reaching
campaign in order to arouse every
property tax payer and secure his
support. The next time good roads
will win.

by her sister, Miss Eva Fleming, The
house was beautifully decorated with
asters and dahlias in color scheme of
pink and white, with an improvised

not soon be removed.

Easily Property in Litigation

Litigation seeking thepossession OF the
Herbanson store building at Easily has
been in progress in Langdon for several
day. The Duluth mercantile firm of
which B. Bankman Is at the head,
bought the Herbanson stock of the
creditors trustees when be went into
bankruptcy, Rerbanson also gave Bank
man lease of the store building, but
the latter is now refused possession by
