TOWNSHIP BUILDING ROADS
Bottincau County Supplies Striking
Example of What Can BE Done
Under Contract System

Bottineau Courant: On riding
through Whitby township, the writer
was deeply impressed by the moun
of excellent graded roads to be found
throughout the township. which not
alone adds greatly to the pleasure of
travel. but makes heavy teaming much
easier and less expensive and on in
quiry found the existing conditions all
brought about since 1907. as at that
time the township was without grad
ed roads, adequate bridges. or road
building machinery. was u~norganiZed
and, on account of the land being low,
traffic was almost impossible. Realiz-
Ing these u%ninviting conditions and
that they were following a wrong sys-
tenn of roadmaking. they organized
into a civil township. bought an ele-
vator grader and so enthusiastic had
they become that tho result of the first
seasons work was sixteen miles of
fine graded road.
Since the first two years they have
discarded the old system of every man
making as much road as he pleases
Cor sometimes as little as he cam and
adopted the contract system; whereby
road taxes are paid as other taxes are
and the road work contracted to the
lowest bidder. who is furnished with
the elevator grader. with the result
that the township now has fifty-four
miles of the finest graded earth road.
This transformation has been made
possible only through the cooperation
OF the taxpayers with the township Of
ficials. and any slight increase in taxa
ton has been far overshadowed by
the great benefit to the travelling pub
lie. and while Whitby township has a
smaller population than any other in
Rottineau county, we venture the as
sertion that it has clearly outclassed
all others in it's zeal and enterprise in
the science of road building. which will
be a lasting tribute to the progressive
public spirited citizens.

philadelphia Dispatch to New York

one of the most remarkable clinics
in surgery that ever has been held in
this city. and by far the most inter-
esting that has been seen in the pres
ent visit of the surgeons Of this coun.
try n Canada. who are attending
the Clinical Conference of Surgeons
Of North America. was that conduct
ed in the Methodist Episcopal hospit-
al by DR.. l.. ]. Hammond. chief Of
staff Of the hospital and a member Of
the faculty Of the University Of Penn
sylvania.
Three difficult operations. each in
volving a new phase in a field Of
surgery that by most Of the visiting
surgeons was thought still to be in
the embryonic and experimental
stage. were the work of the noted
Philadelphia surgeon.
From the moment he made an in
cision into a mans back to en1ov a
diseased kidney until he completed
the three operations the drop of a pin
could have been heard in the great
amphitheater Of the hospital. Ex-

LAW WOULD REQUIRE
EXPENDITURE or
r.. $4,000
Abstracting Heavily Affect
eddy Measure, Not Con-
tested

1t would require one man working
ten years to complete a duplicate of
the real estate records of Grand Forks
county for the use of an abstractor
who might wish to do business under
the new state law passed by the last
legislative assembly requiring that
such a record shall be in the possess
sion Of the a%bstractor.
That is n Of the allegations made
by A. T.. Watson in his action contest
ing the constitutionality Of the meas
ure. and which will come OH. for hear
ing in the district court Saturday
morning before Judge Templeton.
There are 234 books off $40 Of
nor pages each Of deeds. mortgages.
conveyances, assignments and releases
with from one to five or moro instru-
twenty-six books or miscellaneous rec
ords, four books of plats and twelve
books of indexes in the office OF. the
county register Of Deeds" says the
plaintiff in this action.
ITO abstract the deeds and mort
cages and make such comparison and
checking; thereof as would be essen
tial. would keep two experienced men
at work for approximately five years:
ords could not be abstracted" but it
would be necessary to copy the same,
and the same is true Of index books
and the books of plats. and it would
require two experienced employees
from three years to four years to
make such copies with the checking
and the comparison essential to ac-
curacy.
THE cost Of such labor to do this
work, and Of the books, cards and rec
ords essential. would be anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000, and the work
could not be completed less than from
six to nine years."
1t is also commended that the total
Forks county is about $4,000.

safeguard the walls of the burned
ouiiuihS III such n that there
need not be any danger from them
falling or of damage to them by 9TH
er means. lust what value is pos
scssed by the walls is an uncertain
quantity as they are ice coated today
and no examination of them can be
made.
Building Question Important
In question of future building op-
erations is a Very important one. The
order had only recently purchased a
new building site and had contemplate
ed the construction of a building with.
III two or three Years. The fire will
necessitate some other plan of action
Immediately.
The first step to be taken will be to
determine what disposition gan be
made of the ruins of the burned build.
ing. II the order car negotiate for
the sale of the building site it is very
probable that tho construction Of the
new temple will be hrough about at

Return of twelve of the fourteen counties of Arizona show that Wiley E. Jones and w. T. Webb have safe lead over John R. Hampton and George Babbitt for democratic elect ors. Babbitt and Hampton are neck and neck with Coconino and Apache counties to hear from. The belief is general that Babbitt may be scratch ed by the west enders of Coconino county, because of Babbtt's opposition to county division last fall, but in the summing up he is given the best of the argument and his election admit ted. Many people in this county would rather have seen Webb, Hampton and Babbitt gwen the places, but the people of the other sections willed otherwise. In the other parties there was no opposition.

Gov. Hunt Visits kingman.

Last Wednesday evening Gov. Hunt, accompanied by Mr. Osborn, member of the board of control, arrived in Kingman and was greeted by a large gathering Of citizens headed by King mans new band.
 At the opera House the same eyen- ing the governor told the people the aims and objects of his administration, taking up the various public institu- tions and adverting to the reforms either instituted or proposed. Many of these reforms met with the hearty approval of the people and while many did not coincide with him in the mat ter of prison management, each and every one gave him credit for honesty of purpose. Prison reform is just now one of the great problems of the day, and few really know what the new order of things may bring about. It
 is at least up to the people to give a trial to the method introduced by Coy. Hunt and await results. Along the
 line of good roads, the Governor struck a popular chord, and it is to see what can be done to advance the good roads in this county that we owe his visit to us. Thursday morning, in company of Charles Grimes, of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, J. s. Withers, super visor, and some other gentlemen, the visitors went out to Goldroad and Oat- man by auto, returning Thursday evening. Gov. Hunt was delighted with the two great gold camps and ex pressed his surprise with the great bars of gold he saw in the vaults of the company. Yesterday they depart ed to Seligman in the auto of c. W. D. wis, J. $. Withers accompanying the party. The route taken was along tha line of the transcontinc ntal auto mobile route, passing close to the Grand Canyon at Peach Springs, and through deep gorges and beautiful valleys. From Seligman tho gOver- nor's party will return by train to Phenix.
 In conversation with the MINER editor Gov. Hunt expressed the belief that the people of this county should get busy in the matter of public i'm provements, and expressed hls sur prise when told that Kingman was not an incorporated town. He thought that by issuing bonds for public inn provements the state would then feel
 like helping out the county especially in the matter of good roads. He also was of the belief that high school should be instituted in Kingman and that the State would help in the in- stallation of laboratory fixtures so that the arts and sciences might be taught. In all matters of public improvement the governor promised his aid and good will. And the people may rest assured that whatever governor Hunt agrees to do he will carry it out, so that we may rely on aid in the matter of great highway connecting this with Yavapai and Coconino counties. He is heartily in accord with the people in the issue of bonds for public purposes and wishes it understood that the sooner our people provide bond issue for road purposes the better it will suit him.
