NO LIABILITY ON TOWN
 FOR ROAD DAMAGES.
Highway Comnissiorer's Authority to
 Build Trunk Lines is Supreme.

A decision that is expected to at- tract special attention in the legal world was rendered by Judge Qardt- ner Greene sitting in the superior court at Winsted last week, when he declared the case of Lucy M. Glover, administratrtx of the estate of Flora Morse vs, the town of Litchfield non- suited. The case was brought to re- cover damages alleged to have been wrought by state road work and was the first of it's kind to be brought to the courts. Judge Greene heard the evidence of the plaintiff and then de- clared that the town was not liable for damage done in the construction of trunk line roads. as the highway commissioner is given full power and authority to enter any town in the state arnd build trunk highways, inde pendent of the action of the town. The selectmen in this particular case signed the contract, but Judge Greene ruled that 1t was done without the authority of the town and was not H. able for the action of it's selectmen.
 It is understood that similar actions in other parts of the state have been held up pending the outcome of this case and in all probability an appeal will be taken

SHOES MADE OF sNAkEsKIH
Fashionable Women Of London Bslns
Tempted to Conquer Their
Aversion TO Reptiles.

From all reptiles the ordinary wom-
an shrinks in disgust. Yet fashion
able women are now being tempted
to conquer their aversion to the ex.
tent Of wearing snakeskin shoes. One
Of the smartest boot shops In the
west end of London is featuring
these shoes; but up to the present 1t
seems to be uncertain If the fashion
wfll really establish itself or wide
spread lines.
Choice of quite a variety Of skins
is offered. There is the dark and
heavily-marked skin Of the deadly
cobra, or the lighter skin, with its
more delicate pigment markings. of
the rapacious python. The skins of
the viper and the boe-constrictor have
also been made up.
Snake skin is very soft, pliable. and
durable. The shoes are expensive,
Of course. for the skins are not too
plentiful. but this factor should rather
commend itself to smart people, as It
renders II much more difficult to copy
the fashion on cheap lines.

and that year alone over five hund.
red thousand tourists visited the Co
dorado capital.
When the amount of money spent
in the city by such an army of visit
ors is considered It is not difficult to
estimate the value of the auditorium
as AN INVESTMENT.
In like manner the Commercial
club of Portland, oregon, conducted
an excursion whereby several humid
red school children from the cities in
the eastern part of the United States
were given round trip to Oregon
and return; their entire expense both
going and returning being borne by
the Portland Commercial CLUB. But"
says one, How can the club afford
it," well, strange though it may
appear the good people of Oregon
claim that the thing paid; for the
attention of hundreds in the East was
drawn to Oregon, ana new settlers
came in by scores as result of the
publicity given the affair.
So I'M our city; whenever a matter
affecting the public interest is pre-
scented the Commercial Club forms
the nucleus around which the citizens
may rally.
The matter of the recent horse sale
the county fair, the 1nterurban rail-
way, the "home-comingweek;" each
Of these movements depends for its
initiative upon the Commercial Boost
ers club. In like manner distinguish.
ed visitors to the valley must be
suitably entertained II Cache Valley
is to be put properly before the
world. Where then shall they rece-
i've such courtesy If not at the
Commercial club?
When the matter Of dollars and
cents is eliminated consider the ethi-
cal value alone of such an organiza-
ton! Where unacceptable men-of
every grade and calling in the conf
munity meet together to discuss
schemes for it's betterment. Many
man has been regenerated-made
anew, by merely getting Interested
in some public Notwithstanding
for the uplifting of his fellows. 1t is
great tonic-the desire-actively
expressed-to do good.
Such is the motive prompting the
various movements inaugurated by
the Commercial Boosters club, there
fore why not become identified with
It?
Altogether all the time for Great
er and Grander Cache Valley! Such
should be the sentiment Of every one
OF its citizens.
