ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
IN GLOVER VALLEY

Last Sunday afternoon in Clover
Valley was held one of the most
enthusiastic meetings ever held in
that section of the county. Nearly
one hundred persons met together
Oto discuss the laying out and main
tainence of a park in that district.
About thirty Of these were from
Wells and the balance from the
ranches of the Valley. The Good
Templar's Hall was crowded
The meeting came to order with
H A Agee in the chair and Mrs
S C Weeks as Clerk These are the
officers of the Clover Valley Build
ing and Improvement Association,
Inc After stating the purpose of
the call the Chair asked for dis
cussion from the floor Mr. Mel
Badt of Wells told of the great
need of this park, more especially
by the town people and the steps
being taken to aid in its building.
Rev Hoyt E Henriques spoke of a
conference held a few days pre-
Vious during which the bounds and
initial expenses were discussed He
stated that Mr. G Weeks and MIR
Leach would each give a acre of
ground. st Lukes Episcopal Church
ISwould allow its grounds to be used
being two acres and the Hall lot
giving another acre, bringing the
total to about five acres in a
square Messrs Leach and Weeks
also generously allow the use Of
sufficient water to irrigate, ex-
cepting in those exceptional seasons
when there is a shortage There has
not been one Of these in the past
ten years. ...., .-,-.--.
A%mmittee Of seven was ap-
pointed to discuss ways and means
and y nominate smaller commit
tee@o should have entire control
of the clearing and planting.
A plea was made for all the ranch
'ers to meet on a given day to clear,
break and level the grounds, dig
holes for posts and trees. With
this labor given the estimated ex-
pense for the first years work will

MAN MAY
HAVE BEEN
DROWNED

What has become of Frank Sinklow
ski. of 4s13 Northcote avenue, East
Chicago, who has been missing since
yesterday morning.
The police have been asked to assist
in the search for him which is being
made by friends all over the region
There seems to be an idea that
Sinklowski may have been drowned in
the Calumet river. Yesterday not long
after the man left his home, the police
received a call from the Chemical
Works to notifying them that man
who had been noticed short while
before beside the river. near the One
Hundred and Fiftieth street bridge, had
suddenly disappeared. The man ap-
peared to have. been fishing for frogs
and some one who, saw him one minute
and few minutes later looking again
failed to see any sign of him, fancied
he might have been drowned. This
morning when the police heard of the
disappearance of Sinklowski they re-
membered the incident of yesterday
and thought Sinklowski and the frog
fisher might have been one and the
same
No trace of a body has been discov-
cred near the spot where the man was
in it 1T is thought possible the man
may have fallen through and his body
hidden under the ice. Sergeant Mike
German has been detailed on the case
and is investigating. Sinklowski was
a man rather advanced in years, and
had family.

LAST ACT
WAS FOR
HARBOR

Indiana Harbor has the distinction of
having been identified with the last
official act of President Taft before
he stepped down and out to make room
for his successor President Woodrow
Wilson. This last act on ex-President
Taft's part was his signature to the
Rivers and Harbors' appropriation.
which included Indiana Harbor to the
texent of $225,o00. Two hundred
thousand of the appropriation was for
break-water in the outer harbor and
the balance for maintenance of tho
canal as far as it has been completed.
Whether the amendment went through
which provided for the letting of the
contract for the entire Improvement
as recommended by the board of en-
gineers, to the value of over a million
dollars. in one lump contract, instead
of contracting for it at various times
as the money was available. does not
seem to be known to Indiana Harbor
persons who would be naturally the
first to learn of the doings of congress
regarding the harbor bill.

Governor Ralston will receive bills

after as he wishes to accept. It is
likely that about all he viii take after

and one or two others, including the

LEGISLATURE is
ON IT'S LAST LEGS
scent,nued from Par. L,

When it was found that the bill
would probably be a dead one, a plan
was started in the Senate to amend the
discovery Day" bill passed by the
House This bill proposed to nike Oc
tober IL a legal holiday in honor of the
discovery of America by Columbus
The scheme in the Senate, fostered by
Fleming and Senator Stotsenburg, was
TO amend the Discovery Day bill so as
to make Discovery Day. Washington's
birthday. Lincoln's birthday. Labor Day
and all possible legal holidays come on
Sundays This would leave the saloons
free to keep open the days now
designated for those holidays.
When this scheme was suggested it
did not take long for it to develope
that such a thing would not be con-
sidered or countenanced for one mo-
ment However there was still talk
that it might be attempted today. -
House action on the Stotsenburg bill
for submitting a set of constitutional
amendments to the people was held
up until today. because Representative

Indianapolis. Ind. March s.--The SEN
ate has passed a bill that would make
it possible for county councils and
townships advisory boards to practc-
ally bankrupt every county and town
ship in the state. Under the present
law the salaries of members of the
county council run from $40 to $40 a
year. according to population of the
county. The average. probably would
be SIS year The Yarling bill. just
passed proposes to give each member
OF the county council IS a day for every
day he actually attends the county
council sessions. There Is no limit on
the number of days that the county
council may remain in session
This would mean s1a a day for the
four members of a county council.
Counting 312 working days in the year.
IL would mean that the county council
could cost the county 81 total of S3.6S4
more than it is costing under the pres
ent law. Multiply this sum by 80, the
number of counties in the state, and
yo& have grand total of $S3S,e2S more

could not cost than what they now
cost
This is a staggering figure. but the
ngures for townships is even worse.
There are three members of the town
township advisory board and they now
receive SIS year each. The Yarling
bill proposes to pay them IS a day for
their time. The law makes no limit on
the number of days that a session may
last. Therefore. a township advisory
board could remain in session for 312
days in year, and the three members
would receive a total of 50 day. This
would mean $2.7s3 a year for each
township. There are 1915 townships

Ia Golf a pIddllnu Game,

II 1t ever takes place, one of Tx
country clubs adjacent to Philadek
phia will be the scene of a novel con
test which has been talked about. Z
man, who knows baseball, but never
played golf, was talking to a profess
sional golfer and remarked that the
latter's pet game was at best only
a piddllng sort of affair.
Well" said the golfer, I'll wager
you that l can play around this 1S-
hole course In fewer strokes than you
can throw the ball, and you needn't
bother to put 1t In the cups, but throw
as far as you can every time"
Instantly the bet was made, and
then the baseball enthusiast began to
figure. The golfer could do the course
in seventy-two strokes. To equal that
the other would have to make seven
ty.two throws of an average length
OF two hundred and fifty feet, the
course being six thousand yards. For
an ordinary man this would be an i'm
possible task. To throw a golf ball
two hundred and tley feet once might
be done, but It would require an arm
like Chief Bender's to do II seventy
two times In Observation-Disclosures
