ASK RESURVEY OF
TOWNSHIP 1925
Settlers Of Big Wall Country Petition
Congressman Chas. Pray for
Government Resurv.y.

A petition which has been circu-
lated in Township ION, Range 26E.,
and signed by about twenty-five of the
settlers, has been forwarded to Rep
resentative Pray at Washington ask
ing for government resurvey of that
township. Many Of the land marks
in this township, as in other town
ships in this section of the state, have
been destroyed or obliterated, which
is proving a great drawback to the
country 1t would be a great relief
to the homesteader and boon to the
vicinity in question if the uncertain
boundries could be settled and accur-
ate permanent corners and lines es-
tablished. Needed improvements
could then be made and fencing put
in to stay Under the present CON
.ition settlers are not very anxious to
do anything until they know posi-
lively where they are at.
According to recent communication
from Thomas Cooper, land commits
sioner of the n. p, the Washington
counsel of that company has been re-
quested to take the matter up with the
proper officials so that the resurvey
may be made.

FREEHOLDERS OF ROUNDUP WILL
SETTLE SEWER QUESTION TUESDAY
ELECTION DECIDE QUESTION whether TO BOND CITY
$4,000 OR NOT FOR SEWER SYSTEM WILL BE HELD
ruEsoAY-REesrRAT,oN CLOSES WITH NAMES OF
FREEHoLDERs 5ook-MAss MEETING HELD.

Next Tuesday the freeholders of the
city Of Roundup whose names appear
on the special registration book, will
decide the question for or against
bonding the city to the amount of $15,-
900 for the purpose Of providing
Roundup with system of sewers at
this time. The registration book for
the special bond election, which was
opened Monday and Tuesday Of this
week, shows that there are only eighty
five freeholders in the city who desire
to vote on the proposition, or else
there must have been an epidemic of
sickness that prevented them from 60
ing up to the registry agent on the days
mentioned and having their names en-
rolled. For the registration Of those
who may have been prevented from re-
gistcring this week on account of sick
ness, absence from city, or other good
reasons, the book will again be opened
Monday. 1t is estimated that there will
not be over 100 votes cast in the COM
ing special election.
At this stage of the game it is eX-
tremely difficult to predict how the
election is going, as both sides are
confident things are coming their way.
Which ever way it goes, it is GER
tainty that it will be close.
The mass meeting called by the
Commercial Club was held in Newton
Hall Monday evening as scheduled and
was largely attended. Col. Z. j. Crull
presided at the meeting. Numerous
talks for and against the bonds were
made by citizens.

COUNTY ASSESSOR
NOW GETS BUSY
WORK BEGINS ON 1912 ASSESS.
MENT-sUBSTANTlAL RAISE
IN VALUATION OF COUN-
TY PREDICTED.

Monday of this week County Asses
sor Park and his force of deputies
got busy on the 1912 assessment. The
county has been divided into eight dis
tricts, deputy being assigned the
work in each one Of them. The deru-
ties and the districts they will work
are as follows:
W. r. Pickens south Of the Mussel-
shell river from lein to Gage.
W. L. Tillman, east end of county.
Mr.. Williams, lake country and
Wheaton.
w. v. Lewis, northwest of county.
John Dyer, Ryegate.
B. V. Jennings, south OF Ryegate.
Mr.. Harding, Belmont.
Assessor Park went to Melstone
Wednesday where he will personally
do the assessment. Together. with
his chief deputy. vern Terry, they will
personally look after the assessment
in the towns along the river.
A new departure is being made this
year in the assessment of homestead
ers. Each deputy is provided with
little township plats upon which will
be marked the exact description and
the character of the land whether the
land has been proved up or not. This
is done to prevent the taxpayers be-
ing included in the wrong school dis
trict. The assessment work will be
much easier this year as the force
has something to guide them which
they did not have last year.
A substantial raise in the valuation
Of the county is predicted by many.
and it would not be surprise If the
county would jump into the fourth
class. Under the 1911 assessment the
county is included in the fifth class
having q total valuation of $9.054,970.-
90. To come under the fourth classi.
fication the valuation will have to ex.
ceed 100000.

international Exposition TO Be Held at
Time Of Medical Congress.
Lima, the Peruvian capital, will next
summe be the scene of the sixth pan
American congress and at the same
time of the fifth Latin-American med
ical congress.
Anxious to prove Peru's right to a
place In the vanguard Of Latin-Ameri-
"a progress, the government and
leading citizens are already co-operat-
ing to insure a success for both con-
crosses, the most important step TAX
en- toward this end being the ~organiza-
ton Of an international exposition of
hygiene to be held here In connection
with the medical congress.
This exposition will last from July
81 until Sept. 30, and the executive
committee has just issued a circular
letter inviting from all parts of the
world exhibits of machinery, drawings,
apparatus, etc, connected with the
providing of drinking water, treatment
Of sewage, disposal of refuse and all
other matters coming within the scope
of hygienic science.
In order to attract exhibits from
manufacturers of and dealers In by
gienic products 1t is pointed out by the
executive committee that many South
American cities are without proper
systems of sanitation or have systems
which are in great need Of moderniza-
don. An exhibition of this kind, 1t is
stated, will prove Of especial benefit
to Peru, because their cities and towns,
having been built during the colonial
epoch, are In urgent need Of modern
appliances.
Applications for space On the part of
intending exhibitors can be made up
to May 3.

Advices from Cape Town report the
finding in the Premier mine on the
Rand of a diamond which In weight
is second only to the famous Cullinan.
The stone, which is In the shape of an
egg with the top cut off, weighs 1,649
carats and was discovered after blast
ing at the foot of the mine. 1t is more
than half the size of the Cullinan,
which came from the same mine. 1t
has a few black streaks, but experts
consider that they are only on the
surface.

Suffragette Advises Burning of
Cumbersome Skirt

New York. Dec. 9.-"Make a bon

corset and wear trousers instead OF
these ridiculous tight skirts" is the
recommendation Of Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, the suffraget leader, to the
equal Suffrage league in her report Of
her two year TIP arounds.the world
campaign in behalf of votes for women.
My trip around the globe convinced
me-" she said. that my own country
women are the most fettered sartorially
80 be found anywhere. Compared with
the Chinese, the American woman is
almost as helpless as a baby. 1t is
time for the western woman to kick
herself free OF the swaddling drapery
which the Parisians send over to us.
We should declare our independence in
dress. IS We have ia politics. and the
one we do. the better for our
health and happiness and the cause"
Mrs. Gait advocates the Chinese dress
for a modification of it because it is the
most sanitary and healthful a woman
can wear.
She described the Chinese costume
as including "loose draped hanging
tIou sers, made of silk or other ma
t~erial. and over this garment a
straight loose coat which comes below
the knee usually and buttoned over
u side. This garment is collar less
with sleeves that are half tight and
