Some very impressive rules
were laid down to the high school
students last monday morning.
An emergency clause was attach
ed to them by Prof. Guthrie and
several of the students enjoyed
it's effect before nightfall.

Divide Roberts County?
In the Newspapers Only, No
where Else.

Some of the state papers are
taking the matter seriously of
dividing Roberts county, since
the springing up of the new
towns on the new railroad in the
upper part of the county. While
such a thing would be very nice
for the two towns landing the
county seats, it can never be, all
on account of a constitutional in
hibition. Here is what the con-
stitution says:
But no new counties shall be
organized so as to include an
area of less than twenty four
congressional townships, as near
as may be without dividing a
township or fractional township,
nor shall the boundaries of any
county be changed so as to re.
duce the same to a less area
than above specified"
1t will be seen by the above
that each division would have to
contain at least "a townships.
AS Roberts county has only 81
townships within it's confines. one
division would necessarily be shy
just II townships. In such an
event Grant and Marshall coun.
ties could hardly spare enough
territory to make the division
possible, should they feel so dis
posed. But Bro. Gordon of the
Browns Valley Tribune, who ap.
pears to be the one who gave the
division movement it's initial i'm
petus, might be induced to help
the cause along by advocating
the annexation of the valley town
and enough more from Traverse
county to make up the de-
ticiency, the constitutionality of
which will have to left to the
lawyers.

One of the most brilliant social
events of the season occurred
Wednesday evening, October %,
the occasion being the Hallow-
cen party given by Mesdames j.
Z. Croal, Leo Lukanitsch and
George Crosby, at Woodman hall.
Both the card room and the
banquet room were uniquely and
beautifully decorated. Black bats
seemed to be auttering all about
the rooms, and rows of grinning
pumpkin heads gave a cheerful
light. The tables were lighted
by candles set in ears of corn
from which the husks were
stripped back to form base.
Five hundred was the chief
amusement of the evening. The
score cards were decorated with
black bats, and golden stars in.
dlcated the numberofgames won.
At seven o'clock a three course
Halloween dinner was served,
and especial mention must be
made of the savory roast turkey,
the delicious pumpkin pie and ice
cream.
Mesdames CroaL, Crosby and
-Lukanitsch were also hostesses
at an afternoon Halloween party
on Thursday.

should have collected them while

secure the payment of the greater
part Of these fees.

donsd it. The Corporation, he said
always gave preference to government
work and in a recent instance had
neglected other business to rush an er-
der of steel pilings to New Orleans

that Gurnet bridge, connecting Bruins

Brunswick, John Coffin, a storekeeper
at Gurnet bridge, Henry e. Upton Of
the Brunswick board of seleetmen and

their testimony was that the removing
of the abntment and substituting a
span for the same would not remedy
the danger as the ledge on which the
abutment is built would continue to
make the waters flow very rapidly
through the narrow channel. They adj
vocated having an appropriation from
Congress to blow out the ledge and
make the present 5O-foot channel 100
feet wide. They admitted the dangers
of the bridge and expressed willing
ness to see the same rectified, hut
they did object TO having the towns &c
to the expense of $4,000 or $4,000 only to
hnd that conditions had not been i'm
proved and that the dangers had not
beer removed. Mr. Watson pointed out
that if second span WAS built leav-
