How to Vote on the Bonds.

A stuff story is being busily circulated
at toilette and otner places to the effect,
that if the issue of 500, 1000 bonds is de-
feated at the polls next Tuesday, that
the county board will proceed to build
new court house by issuing county war
rants, which, as there is no money in the
treasury, will bear Z per cent interest.
During the campaign two years ago the
Pioneer Express quoted the law relating
to extraordinary expenditure where
in it states that moneys expended for
the erection of court houses, etc. must
be first submitted to vote of the pea-
pie. When it comes to building court
houses and jails the people of the coun.
ty have something to say about it. Also
don't be fooled by the division of the
amount on the ballot, $4,000 for court
house and $4,000 for Jail making the
full el0O, 900 all right. If you think a
800 QUO court house is necessary vote
for the bonds. but if you take the word

It will only call for other and less elabo-
rate plans. to be voted on at some fut-
ure date.
Don't be misled by people who have
proved themselves dishonest in the past.
They shave an ak to grind" and are per-
fectly willing to have you turn the
grindstone.

The Canadian Northern trains loaded
with wheat are being hurried over the

We wonder where we should have been

bushels that are now taxing the Canadi.

dumped OH the American markets.
This is subject worthy of considera

toilette is enjoying an influx. of new
settlers this spring better than any
other part of the county from what we
can learn. The two most recent arrivals
are John Fink of Valleyford, Washing
ton and Walter L. Moody of Iowa. The
former has purchased the West Hopkin-
Hill farm and the latter the old j. HI.
Emerson place. Mr.. Fink who was near
the nous Palouse country, where land
sells for 500 per acre, and they raise
anything from wheat to anything in the
fruit line, says he was tired of that damp
climate in the winter, besides there is
little return for ones work out there.

SEEK PROPER SITE
 FOR NEW THEATRE
Several Have Been COnsid- cred by the Interstate
 Amusement Go.

Although agents of the Interstate Amusement company have been somewhat discouraged here in their attempt to build q new vaudeville theatre they are still working for a suitable site. IL was said yesterday by some of tho local men in- terested that although two offers made by the company had been refused yet an- other was to be made which 1t was hoped will be successful. The officials of the Interstate Amusement company of which Karl Hoblitzelle is president. have been working for some time to have hippo drome erected here. Mir. Hoblitzelle has announced that it will assuredly be erect Cd. However offers made to the Fles interests to build theatre on Fourth ave enue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets have been turnd down. An effort was then made to get the Smith estate to erec- one on the corner of Third avenue and Seventeenth street. which also fell through. It was said yesterday by real estate expert that the amusement conn peny had offered a very attractive prop osition to the local men, but that for various business reasons the matter had not been viewed fayorably.
 It is understood that another site will be requested today or within a few days which will more than likely be accepted according to those behind the project.

 preme Court Vacancy

PARK OFFICIALS
 CONFER WITH LANE
City Commissioner States He Is With Them"-Mr.
 Kessler Is Optimistic

The park commission and Commits sioner A. o. Lane held an informal con ference yesterday, during which Judge Lane assured the park officials that he was with them" in all that was req sonable The meeting was purely in- formal and as Judge Lane was the only commissioner in the city he acted alone in the meeting.
 He told the park officials that they were undertaking a laudable work and would find that the city commission would back them up. He was very optimistic
 Later Commissioner Lane made this statement:
 While had no authority to bind the city commission to any promise, l ventured the opinion to the park com mission that we would within a short time supply them with suffient funds to undertake some improvements in our park system. Individually I am very much interested in park betterment and shall render all the aid 1 can. The commission l am sure will be found willing and pleased to give the park commission every reasonable consid- eration.
 Personally I think by next summer this city will have done so much work on the larger outside parks that they may safely be visited by citizens and found pleasurable.
 "The people are entitled to and should enjoy proper park facilities, and I assured the park commission that my attitude on that matter would be sub stantlally in line with that opinion" The park commissioners yesterday completed their round of visits accom- panying George Kessler of Kansas City over the park acreage here. The ex- pert was optimistic over the possibil- tiles here, but preferred to study the situation before he made any definite statement. He returned to his home yesterday afternoon.

VICTIMS OF AXNOW SUE FOR DAMAGES Former City Employees Pre-
 pairing Suit S20,000 IS INVOLVED Major Edward D. Smith Retained as Attorney - City Commissioner Lane States He Is Not Wor-
 ried by Announcement

Maj. Edward D. Smith, former city attorney. has beeen retained by several former employees of the city 10 begin suit against the city of Birmingham for salary alleged to be due. The suit, according to Major Smith, will not be filed before October 1.
 The basis for the litigation will be that the city commission, in discharg- ing several former employees, laid the city liable for the salaries they would have drawn had they been left undis- tuybed. The ex-officials were elected by the old city council for a term of two years. They were relieved from duty some time before the expiration of their elected terms of office by the council. The claims will involve about s20.0 .000 1t is stated.
 Major Smith said last night: T have been retained by few former city em- ployes. l have been making an inves- tigation into the case and I believe suit will be filed about October 1. have studied the claims carefully and am inclined to believe that the point raised by the former employees are good"
 Commissioner A. O. Lane, head of the department of justice, said in answer to an inquiry about the proposed case:
 T am undlsturbed by the threatened suit. The commission has a perfect right to discontinue the services of any employe at any time. That was our action in removing several em- ployes when We assumed charge of the city's affairs. We considered tho legal phase of the cases very carefully, and feel that the former employees have absolutely no grounds for recovery against the city.
 If the case Is filed against the city the legal department will conduct an uncompromising and strenuous war against the proposition"

ONLY ONE TRACE
 OF WOOD ALCOHOL Agee Says Reports of Liquor AdulteratiOn Have Been
 Greatly Magnified

Chairman W. C. Agee yesterday warmly denied the rumor or report that wood alcohol was being used here in the liquor dispensed at well known local establishments Mir. Agee says that in one case a wholesale dealer E goods were found to contain a trace of wood alcohol and that a complete examination was at once made.
 "rhe state chemist, pr. B. B. Ross, found trace of wood alcohol in a sample that we sent him." said MT. Agee. "He reported that the trace was so slight that he was unable to say whether 1t was left in a barrel in which whisky was subsequently, placed. He said that in order to make care ful analysis he would be compelled to buy an apparatus that could make a quantitative test. On our request Dr. Ross will buy that machine for future use. In the meantime there was only one case of many which disclosed any trace of wood alcohol whatever.
 Tn orda, to get quantltative test this commission will cause the sample to be sent to Washington where 1t will be analysed by the federal of- flcials. In the meantime we are con- tinuing our investigation
 Prom reports that have been spread 1t would appear that this commission has condoned the adulteration of whis- ky with wood alcohol. a proposi- ton that does us an immediate injus- tlce We are continuing our inves- tigations and are insisting that the proper kind of whisky be sold here according to the laws upon that sub- feet"
