THE Enterprise Of Silver City for
the first time in so many years that
the oldest inhabitant does not re-
member how many, has discovered
and told Of something In local public
affairs that was not straight. 1t has
discovered that the court house re-
pair fund Is not used to repair the
court house, but to pay Off bills Of all
sorts and kinds. IL says that some
$4,000 have been raised for that fund,
and the money diverted. 1t evidently

be passed on this action OF the board"
AS a matter OF fact the commissioners
Z limited as to the amount they
may levy in the general fund, and
this does not produce enough money
to pay for the extrayagent manner In
which Grant county's business affairs
are conducted. So instead Of cutting
down the expenses Of the county so
they would be within the county's in

DICKSON IS NAMED
TO HANDLE RELIEF
Dunno Appoints National Guard
Officer for Head of Illinois
Division.

Gov. z. F. Dunno, of Illinois, is the
first state executive to meet Secretary
OF War Garrison's request for appoint
ment of a responsible man to handle
flood relief requests. He today named
Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson. of the
Illinois National Guar1, as his repre-
sentative to receive all requests for aid,
to pass Judgment thereon and to trans
init the proper ones to the National
Government.
In his message to the War Depart.
ment today, Governor Dunne says:
Il beg to thank you on behalf of the
citizens of Illinois for the national ten
der of support and assistance in flood
matters. Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson
VIII communicate directly with YOU. He
remains at present in Springfield. but
will probably be in cairo within twenty
four hours. He will keep in touch with
you"
Secretary Garrison feels that the CO.
operation of governors in the flood
states in the appointment of responsible
flood relief men will relieve the Goy-
ernment of the necessity of considering
frenzied requests from hamlets, citi-
zens. and officials where the judgment
of needs Is not considered in GOODNESS.
Frantic appeals for unreasonable
amounts of food or soldiers continue to
flcod the department, but with efficient
men in charge in various States, this
situation, Ii is believed. will be handled
economically and efficiently.

HOME TRADE SHOW
PLAN OF MERCHANTS
Idea To Be Presented Tonight
to Board of Governors Of
City Association.

A plan to have home trade" eShi-
bition, at which goods of all kinds that
are made in Washington will be dis
played, is to be launched at the meeting
of the board of governors of the retail
merchants in the Chamber of Commerce
| tonight.
Leaders in the merchants organiza-
ton have for some time discussed the
matter informally, and it is agreed that
an exhibition that would show the peo-
pie of Washington and the surrounding
territory that nearly all the necessities
of life are manufactured right here IN
Washington. would be a splendid ad-
vert,sement- The only trouble seems to
be in obtaining a hall in a proper loca-
ton that is large enough to accommo-
date the display.
1t is expected that a special committee
will be appointed by the governors to-
night to look into the matter. and the
exhibition, 1t is believed, Will be held
in the early fall. provided a suitable
place can be secured.
The home trade committee viii pre-
sent a report tonight. At a meeting
Of the committee few days ago 1t
was decided to make every effort to put
the itinerant merchant out Of business.
Business men assert that merchants
who come to the city for few days or
weeks, take temporary quarters and
have no reputation at stake, have bad
effect on business.
An effort will probably be made to
rave Congress place a heavy tax on
such itinerant merchants. This plan
has been found successful In other
cities, but in the District the tax Is the
same as for the merchant whose busi-
ness Is pernoanen.
The committee on trade abuses will
present a report in which the matter
Of freak and false advertising will play
a prorinent part Merchants who spend
thousands of dollars year In advertis-
ing legitimately declare that the effect
Of their advertising is lessened by the
appearance in the same paper of anoth-
er advertisement where the statements
are untrue. 1t is also likely that the
governors will at tonight's meeting take
steps to incorporate the Retail Mer-
chants Association. 1t is said that
most Of She large merchants associa-
tions in the country are incorporated,
end that the plan is successful.

clared that this was a danger to the
