GUT COURT HOUSE 4RILL.
Crest to be Lowered and Gentle
Ascent from Musselfork
Bridge to Top

Atthe meeting Of the city
council Monday night there was
a committee from the CONNER
cial Club present to talk over the
matter Of cutting down the court
hill make the grade less severe
and improving the road that
leads around the the east and
south sides Of the yard from the
Musselfork.
tits estimated roughly that
the work will cost $500. The
plan is to cut as much hill as
possible and fill SO as to make
the the ascent from the Mussel-
fork bridge less abrupt. The
filling will commence at the
Minter & Lamkin office corner
along the east side Of the court
yard and thence around the
corner on the south side.until the
fill meets the crest of the Mussel-
fork hill. This is to be cut
down several feet. This will
lower the crest and then the dope
will be filled with the earth from
the south side of the hill
road until it presents a level and
gentle grade to the Musselfork
bridge.
This project has been in the
minds the local business men for
years. The question was to
lessen the stiff grade. Now,
the council and Commercial Club
seem to be in a way to solve it.
This will give two good roads in.
to the city from the crest of the
hill. one to turn north and the
other, most desirable, the new
one, which permits the ascent Of
the hill and straight across to
the next street without having
to turn the Jail corner. This il
bound to prove the most desir-
able road when the grade is es.
| tablished.

MOBERLf COON CLUB
Program Unexcelled in HistOrJ
For Camp and Coon Hunting
And Hospitality.

Moberly stands first of all
cities in the world for coon clubs.
The hunt headed last year by
Senator Stone on a black mule
was eclipsed this year with
Govr. Major leading on a white
mule. Club officials and mem
bers met incoming visitors Tues
day at one p. m. at Union Sta
tion, and a procession several
miles in length was formed with
Grand Marshal John Lynch es-
corting Govr. Elliott Major at
the head, followed by 263 auto
mobiles loaded to full carrying
capacity, those in front contain
ing state officers, all of whom
except Attorney Genl. Barker
were there. Next was cavalry
fox hunters with hounds to the
number of 169. Next carriages
and buggies and then a long
line of infantry.
In the procession at a safe
distance from the hounds was q
large cage containing wolves;
cayotes, foxes, coons and it was
said, a badger, but the latter
was closely confined for reasons
obvious later on. The camp on
Locust Creek 6 miles north of
Moberly was most excellent as
to location and equipment. From
the big dining tent prepared to
accommodate $50 at table at one
time, to the little lean-to for in
dividual repose, numbering
about 30, everything was ship
shape. The big kitchen and the
commissary tents were provided
with everything good. and the
chef was the best that ever lard,
ed a pheasant or peeled a tater,
Going into details is out Of the
question, but we went into
everything else. It would re.
quire a solid page to describe
the entertainments, -even the
badger fight" would take halt
as much, and we haven't room
to print it, but we were glad We
were alive and there.

that about 25 or 80 teachers
would go from this county and
that altogether there would be
present 5000 instructors at the
sessions Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at the Coliseum where
noted instructors from all over
the country were present. The

Sentence Ends Tuesday

L
Charles Palmer will finish the
first lap of his Jail sentence for
violating the local option law
November IL. The second lap
consists of a fine of $500. 1t the
prosecuting attorney thinks
Palmer has not had enough then
he may either have to pay this
sum of $500 or more or stay in
Jail about a year at $1.00 per
day. Palmer wrote an order for
another fellow, it seems, to a
Moberly firm to get some liquor.
The act constituted a violation
of the local option law and the
law was enforced and Palmer
was fined. He couldn't pay and
for months has beensin Jail. II
seems that if there isSany lesson
to be taught by Imprisonment,
Palmer must have learned it by
this time. To a man I:who looks
upon the Nervousness of a crime
as a justification for punishment,
Palmer's act will appear trivial.
He did violate the law but his
act was a small thing. tits safe
to say that Palmer has been suf.
ficiently punished.

YOUNG FOLKS RAISE GAIN
Older Folks Also Mix in Hal
lOwe'en Affairs Friday Con-
siderable Damage Done.

The younger people and some
older ones that never grow up
were out last Friday night Oct
ober 81 to give the evening the
conventional attention usually
extended the season. Every
body in town, nearly, was out
and contributed to the doings.
The principal celebrators were
the little chaps who INDUCED in
the old fashioned and mild occu-
patton of throwing corn at peo-
PIES doors, holding jack-o'Ian-
terms up to windows and tick
tacking peoples homes. These
youngsters were usually chaper-
oned by older people.
There were older ones whose
lawless dispositions could not be
satisfied with less than the de-
[struction of property. Their
work chiefly was tearing up side
walks, tearing down fences and
similar acts of vandalism. The
other pranksters took peoples
property away from its proper
locality without harming it.
The old cannon in Prices park
always is a good goat. 1t
was found Saturday morning on
the sidewalk in front of the
Herriug's pharmacy with a
bead" drawn on the Courier
window. No one hurt. A wa
gon advertising Watkins Rem
edies" was in the bandstand,
the Moore & West mail cart was
aboard the hip of a barn and
porch swings were everywhere
but where they ought to have
been. The sidewalks in front of
lT. F. Whites residence was
torn up and late travellers that
ssy had "a hard time to keer
from permanent injury. Other
board walks suffered.
There seemed to be no policing
the citywas the case in most places
where extra officers were swoEn
in and people notified that every
person indulging vandalism,
would be arrested and fined.
Played FOrty-TwO

Mrs. Ray Hostess
Mrs. O. P. Ray gave the most
pretentious social affair held in
this city during the Halloween
season. This was given Friday
afternoon at the Ray home
where guests to the number Of
35 were present. The party wa:
a distinctly Halloween affair ir
all details, even to the ghosts

Madge Taylor was the mysteri
GUS lady whose identity wa!
soon established by the wis

Two delegations from the
northwest part of the county
were here last week to talk
county highway roads with the
commissioners. There were
enough here to stir quite a bit Of
excitement and there were two
delegations present, both on the
firing line. The commissioners
heard the talks and arguments
concerning the road to be con-
nected up with the road into
Macon county. The road from
the Macon county capitol has
been brought down nearly to the
line and the commissioners here
will have to find tut just what
the Macon coun men are going
to do before they can decide
finally which route to take
through Charlton to the border
of the county.

line for the transportation of visitors
to the Pendleton Roundup, in spite
of the heavy demands made upon roll
ing stock lately Passenger officials
of the O.-W r. & N declare, how
ever, it has been a hard pull to get
enough to take care of the big crowd
looked for.
Whole trainloads of empty sleepers
are to be "deadheaded" from remote
regions of the east and far southeast.
Regular trains will be made up so that
as many Pullmans as possible may be
released for the Roundup business
and whenever possible cars ordinarily
sent east on regular trains will be
held over until the celebration is over.
The reason for all this is that many
parties have chartered whole cars.
which will be transformed into hotels.
During the Roundup many visitors
will sleep in their cars. At least SO
such charters have already been ar
ranged for singly with as many more
included in chartered trains.
One reason for this condition has
been the Knight Templar convention
at Denver which used up many speci-
al trains and special cars All the
cars thus tied up however will be re-
leased by September 1 and the equip
ment will be rushed back westward
and put into service again.

GROWS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THE ROUNDUP

VIM. McMurray. general passenger
agent for the O.-W r. & N has this
to say regarding the Roundup:
AS the date of the Roundup draws
nigh, interest in the stirring events
i; will portray is increasing. This of
flee is constantly in receipt of infor
nation that throngs have in contem
plation a trip to Pendleton and reser-
vations are largely made for the spec
ial trains we will operate. From pres
ent indications We will have to pro-
vide other Roundup specials, and
augment the equipment we had
ular trains operated to Pendleton
during the great show.
"The Roundup has been splendidly
advertised. Every person who has
witnessed the thrilling, spectacular
events of the past is an enthusiastic
booster. Let 'er Buck is no longer
8 local saying or confined to Umatilla
county or oregon. 1t has spread
wherever the English language is spo-
ken, and has been translated into as
many tongues as there are people
who like the west and it's people and
who are delighted beyond power of
expression with this pastime of the
people of the sunset land.
Eve have just issued a folder on
the Roundup which tells in a way
something of what may be expected
and thousands of these are being dis
tributed. We are also helping you
to advertise this Chaut9uqua of the
