Commences
A. 0. MODLIN IN CHARGE
Will Locate at Least Three Roads
Near ST MarieS

County Road Supervisor A. o.
Moldin, together with a crew Of four
surveyors, arrived in this city Tues
day afternoon. and Wednesday morn
ing started the surveying of the new
county roads near this place. Ths
crew at present is working on the
road on this side of the liver, the one
which will connect this city Will
Plummer, by way of the Benwah val
ley and Cherry creek. The surveyors
are progressing but slowly on the
work, as the first couple of days wa
required Ia learning what would b'
the most feasible route for the new
road, aud where the lowest percentage
OF grade could be obtained.
The surveyors are under the per
sonal charge of County Surveyor and
Road Supervisor Modlin. and be Is
planning upon completing the survey
ing Of a considerable amount of pro
pos d new county road In this region
before his return to the county seat
The next road upou which he will
put his men is that between St Joe
and this city, the road folloNiug the
st. Joe river clrsely all the way frou
/ that place to this city Upon the
last trip of the county commissioners
through this region. they went over
this road personally. and decided
that a mum ber Of changes could be
made IN It which would lower the
grade, straighten the road and at the
same time place it back away from
the river banks, where Il would not
be overfiowed by the high water each
spring. II Is the intention of MI
Modiln to place this road along the
side hill. thus making a road which
will be easily kept In repair, and will
be passable at all times of the year
The third road which will be 10
Gated before the surveyors leave this
city Is that on the other eide OF the

CHEAPER THAN RENTING

Joseph Heritage residing on the
Riverdale tracts, near where the
c69Rty road leaves the dyke, has plat
te a a# portion of this tract into lots
aIn 8 putting them on the market
for sale. There are twenty-four Of
these lots. each 5Ox9O feet and all on
streets, and have ten foot alley in
the rear. They are all cleared aud
under cultivation. They are por-
tion Of an eight sore garden tract
which Mr.. Heritage has into garden
truck.
1t has been under cultivation for
several years and the soil is as rich
and fruitful as any that can be found
anywhere In the Riverdale tracts aud
is the piece of ground that be has
grown the prize vegetables that he
has been exhibiting around at the
different fairs.
Anything In the line of vegetables
and fruits can be raised at a good
profit, aud with two lots a large fam
lily could easily keep themselves iu
vegetables besides raising all Of the
small fruit that they could use or
can.
Mr.. Heritage's reason for selling Is
because it Is more than be can posi-
bly, tend to when put out In fruit aud
vegetables. He is reserying an acre
and a half of the tract for his own
use. and figures that that amount is
all that he can properly tend to aud
that that will be more than sufficient
to support himself and family.
The Heritage addition to st. Ma
ries, although nearly mile from the
business part of the city, is admira-
bly, situated for homes, especially for
working men. The street leading to
the business part of the city follows
on top of the dyke for the entire dis
tanoe and is always dry and free flom
mud.
1t is handy 90 the Milwaukee Lum-
ber company's mill, It being not to
exoeed a five minute walk fIom it for a
man working there and a man work
ing ln the mill and owning two lots
could easily raise vegetables enough
to support bis family. The easy terms
upon whien they are sold put them
within reach of all Ten dollars Ia
all the cash that is required aud ten
dollars eauh mouth without any in
terest. will pay the balance.
With enough ready money to erect
a small house, any laboreT in the
mill can secure home for himself
and family at less monthly payment
than the rent OF house would cost
him.
q Homes IN this addition Will have
the advantages Of to city. such as tel
D ephone electric light, free delivery
e Of goods from the stores, and beinl
: outside the city limits. do not hav'
e to contribute to the city taxes.
}. The prices asked for these lots ara
s very moderate, ranging from 500 U'
n to $4,000. which With the ohoic'
J.. location aud easy terms offered
+ makes them the best buy ever odsre'
10 this or any other city, and We pre-
D dict that 1t will nnly be a short tim
/, before every lot is sold. ADV.

Blood Poisoning
From Rusty Nail
FernwOOd Man Delays in Having
Wound Cared For

What was at first thought TO be but
a slight accident, but later developed
to such proportions that tue man al
most lost his life, happened to
George Toss, OF Fernwood, the tier
part of last week. He was helping
in some work of tearing down an old
building at Fernwood, at the time
the accident occurred, being taking
the roof off. The building, being
old and rotten. started to fall sooner
than was expected. and Mr.. Toss,
seeng no way to get away from the
falling roof, naturally threw up his
hands TO protect himself.
A long spike, rusty aud bent, pen
etrated the hand, the force of it hit
ting him being such that the nail was
driven at least three inches through
the hand, that Is, three inches of the
spike showed on the under side of his
hand.
After getting the spike out, Mr
I oss thought the injury Of such a
slight nature that he did not 60 to p
doctor to have it dressed, merely
poulitoing It himself The pain in
creased rapidly in the hand, and at
last when IL was almost unhearable
he came to DR.. Platt's hospital in
this city The hand was so badly
swollen at the time that he was un-
able to close it, aud the wrist aud
lower portion of his arm we're swollen
to almost twice their natural size.
DR.. Platt at once saw that blood
poisoning had set IN, and It was with
the greatest dicffiulty that the wound
could be cleansed out. as the poison
WIS spreading rapidly through his
blood. at the last reports Mr.. Toss
was getting along nicely aud had
been relieved of the greatest portion
Of the pain. and 1t Is thought thai
his complete recovery will be only {
matter of time.
This accident is a fair warning Il

Popular Talks on Law


this as substantial performance and
requires that the other party fulfill
his part, though an allowance is
made him to cover the items in
which the work was not as specified.
| Thus. if a house is being built for
you under contract, and is complet-
ed in accordance with the contract
in all the larged details, but varies
Fin a few lesser places, you cannot
refuse altogether to accept the house,
in case he sues you on the contract,
but an allowance will be made amply
sufficient to cover the cost of max
| ing the defective parts conform to
the specifications
What is known as impossibillty OF
performance is stated as one OF the
legal excuses for failure to perform
contract This is very likely to con-
fuse the average person, as most Of
the things which we would view as
| "impossibilities" are not such ''impos-
sibilities" as will, in law, excuse the
failure to fulfill a contract. The i'm
possibility which will put an end to
a contract must be of a sort that the
parties can be deemed to have con-
templated as an adequate excuse
should it chance to occur. Hardship
or unforeseen difficulty, no matter
how severe, will not excuse failure
to perform according to the terms
of the agreement. If a man agrees to
paint your house in two days, it is
no excuse that he finds it impossi
BILE to finish the house in two days,
no matter how hard he works. Mel
Their is it an excuse that his mater
ials are stolen or destroyed and so
he canno- proceed Nor is it an ex
cuse that his workmen strike, unless
that is provided against in the con-
tract But If the house should be
burned, that would matter to de-
struction of the subject matter Of
the contract, which is such an i'm
pO6SlUlllIy d0 Will Lul ulolI legal Ca
cuse for failure to perform.
If one contracts to furnish his own
personal services (not to do some
thing that anyone may do) and dies,
Or is seriously injured or falls i'll, no
damages for failure to perform his
contract may be recovered against his
estate, or against him, since this is
such an impossibility as furnishes
legal excuse
When one has completed his side
of the contract, and not until then,
may he bring legal action to force
the other party to do his part. An
exception to this is where the other
party has definitely broken the con-
tract in advance by world or action,
as by a definite statement. A per-
son who has contracted to deliver
goods must have the goods specified
at the time and place required. Then
if the other party refuses to accept
them a breach has occurred which
gives to him a legal right of action.
If the agreement is to sell for cash
he need only tender delivery, and
if the other party has not the cash
to fulfill his part of the agreement
there has been a breach of the con-
tract.
