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
n hundred persons met together
to discuss the laying out and main
flamenco 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 Glover Valley Build

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. S G Weeks and Mr.
Leach would each give a acre of
ground, st Lukes Episcopal Church
would 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 n of these in the past
ten years.
A committee of seven was APP
pointed to discuss ways and means
and to nominate a smaller commit.

under the constitution. to bond a
county for any purpose whatever,
until that county has said by a ma
jorty of its votes that 1t is willing

casion to use such language and
the word "piker" is not in his vo-
cabulary. However we are glad

In addition to these trees, e
200 native trees were donated BY
the Valley folks An expert grower
from Utah was present and cheer
fully gave all the needed advice in
regard to tree planting, The as
sortment, on his advice is to con-
tain hard and soft woods, for per-
manent and temporary shade. 1t is
estimated that two half days each
week for five or six months will
suffice for the first year At $500
a day the estimate By committee is
seen to be pleu y large.
The Park Committee was appoint
ed after ballot in the Commute of
seven, as follows; Rev. H f Henri
ques, MIR Horace A Agee, Mr. Will
liam B Gibbs
This committee concluded that
the fencing, clearing and planting
of trees would be enough for the
first year. After that roads, paths
and lawns will be taken up and as
vegetation reaches maturity, a play
ground for young and old is to he
added, together with tables, per-
golas, etc.
About $500 in cash was subscrib-
ed at this meeting and an equal
amount of labor promised. Should
there be any liberal minded persons
elsewhere about the county desir-
ious of helping this splendid move
ment no doubt any of the gentle
men mentioned above would gladly
receive it.

THE animus or Johnny-Come-

this Johnny-C ome-Lately, and II
certainly looks like his object was
to prevent the establishment of the
school here, IL in his power to pre-.

no love for Wells; this we stated

well if the Independent writer
has no animus toward any Of the
people of Wells he has certainly
recovered from that state Of mind.
1t was not so very long ago that he
was here soliciting advertisements
for an edition Of q Reno paper. He
spent considerable time among the
business men OF Wells but did not
succeed in landing much business
He was piqued over the matter
With n considerable feeling OF
enmity he stated in the presence OF
more than one responsible citizen
OF this place that Business men
OF Wells were a lot of pikers''
After delivering this labored opin.

entertained such an opinion at that
