cincts of the county with the con-
fines Of the Kittitas Reclamation

COUNTY OFFICIAL
SHOWS BACKBONE

Those who are inclined to want
to censure ]. N. Burch for his recent
stand in the matter of buying a trac-
ton engine and a number OF wagons
for district one at an approximate
cost of $500, ought to remember
the fact the he is possibly in posi-
ton to know better of his actioh
than those who seek to criticisc him.
He says:
"There is approximately $4,000
available for road work in the three
districts of the county. D1strlct
No. /, Mr.. Wright's territory gets or
this $4,000, District 2, Mr.. Adams
territory, gets 81 1000, and District
3, my own territory, gets S9,ooo'
And now | feel that the expenditure
of $500 for machinery was unwise
at this time, as the amount for actual
work would be very materially de-
crcased-not sufficient to run the
machinery after it was purchased. !
do not feel warranted in voting 10
that end without consulting the best
interests Of the farmers of district
one, and if those people really want
me to vote for an expenditure or that
Kind the people of that district,
not those of Ellensburg, and will say
so in a petition, / will consent to
vote for it, but not otherwise. The
county cannot afford TO buy the en-
CINE District three cannot join in
win one because il would have no
use for if whatever, and my district
needs every dollar coming to it to re-
pair its roads, so it cannot afford to
join iu the purchase, and / will yield
tbo point only on the grounds of "a
petition OF those .-ople who must
pay for the machinery"
We commend tho stand of Mr.
e. iio is in Tire right Taxes
.ocome 700 great burden. As
The Dawn has often said we have
u..cheH the time when taxation and
c.ntiscatiou are Synonymous terms
Stay with your decision Mr. Burch.
ID the people of the district want the
machinery lct them say so. ana if
they do not want it. it would be
criminal on your part to force an
uuwarranted debt upon them. 1t is
all well enough to buy machinery
when the district is able, and car use
same to good advantage without be
~ burdensome. but it is all wrong
to buy. Just because it's wanted, re-
gardlcss of cost or future use and
actual service.

New Haven Road Gets Rutland
 Despite Suit

New York, Jan. Tine application for an injunction made by James M. Hunnewen in behalf of minority stock holders of the Rut and Railroad Com panys to restrain the New York Cen tral from transferring its majority ownership in that company to the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, and the application also for a receiver for the Rutland company have, been denied by Judge Moves in the United States circuit court.
 The 1denials however, are without prejudice to the renewal of motions for relief on the condition that the abuses alleged continue after the transfer is made, or, if on dfsapprovaf by the pubic service commission, no transfer is made at all.
 The action was a part Of an effort by minority stockholders to obtain an accounting of the earnings of the Rut- land road which has not paid dividends for a long period. It was alleged in Hunnewell's complaint that the Rut- land was acquired by the New York Central for the suppression of cOmpe- tition between the two companies and that by diversion of traffic and other wrongful practices the New York Gen. tral wasted the assets of the Rutland company.

AN ENTERING WEDGE
For Government Control of Telegraph, Telephone, Ca ble and Wireless Fa-
 cilities

Washington, Jah. What may prove to be the entering wedge for control of all wire communt cations in the country by the Post Office Depart ment is found in the proposition to transfer all the duties of the signal corps of the Army in Alaska to the Postmaster Generals Department
 In Alaska the Signal Corps main tains and operates an elaborate sys- tenn of telephone, telegraph and wire less communications. There are about 75 stations, cables, land wires and wireless, with a mileage of 1,125 on land, and 3.6S3 by cable There are nine wireless stations These sta tions handle not only the government traffic but the commercial and press as well. The receipts of the Alaskan stations amounted during the last year to more than $21s, GOO. The en- Ysted men of the Signal Corps han dIed all this money without the loss of a. cent, according to Brigadier General James Allen, who describes the system in his annual report.
 Owing to the shortage of men in the Signal Corps, it is proposed to turn this entire business over to the Post Of5ce Department. Congress will be asked to authorize the change.

A great truth from Editor George
of the Jewell County Monitor: There
are really more men that wear hats
that are out of style than women.
The Haddam Clipper-Leader's idea
of a successful small town business
man is one. who can incur an over
draft at his bank without being called
up on the carpet.
After woman has been married a
few years, says the EllinWood Leader,

Charlie Blakesley, of the Kansas

Come on in; Coldwater'S fine"
Fred Kenner, the Madison Spirit
man, has figured it out this way. A
man may get crooked enough to hide
behind a corkscrew, but the crooked
est man on earth wouldn't have any
luck behind a pretzel.
Related by the Fort Scott Tribune:
A small boy returned from party
not long ago. His clothing was torn
and tattered and great blotches of
mud were smeared on his face. His
mother asked him if he had a good
time and he exclaimed: Mother, L
just had the grandest time. Somebody
said something about somebody else
and he didn't like it, SO they started
fighting. Another somebody, I for
got who, took the first somebody's side
and 1 helped the other fellow some.
Mother, it was the grandest fight
have ever seen, and all the girls ran
in the house and hid until 1T was over,
then when they started to leave we
ran them home. Mother. it was fine
party"
Some observations by Tom Thomp-
son of the Howard Courant: If girl
believes all you say, she is under nine
teen. It is creditable to be
''trusty," but why couldn't he have
put his good conduct in operation
sooner? A little girl can feel
entirely comfortable when she is
dressed I'D. but a boy never can.
Why do so many folk raise the devil
when they don't know what to do with
him after be is raised? The
question of the day might generally
be better known as the quarrel of the
day. There are always two sides
to every queStion-one right and one
wrong side. Your side is never the
wrong side, of course.
