claimed admitted the Pierce rob-
berry and that the goods are not
far away in a sand pit.
1t was necessary for Mr.. Pierce
to go to Golden and swear out a

a special augment orchestra and
and also many specialties will be

daily so that the little folks may
be able to attend. The produc-

but not favoring that right now.
The Indebtedness now hanging
over the town of $40, 600 on the
water plant, is offered as an ar
gument against mourning more
Indebtedness, and again that we
need a duplicate pumping plant
that would cost about $500 or
more, and that there is not
enough money in the treasury to
purchase both.
Another rather interesting oc-
currence was the resignation of
Town Marshal Newcomb. This
was the elimination of the dis
cussion and deliberations with
reference to the night police
question. In order that a night
policeman could be put on, it
was suggested that Mr.. New
combs salary should be reduced
from $40 to $50 per month.
Mr.. Newcomb at once handed in
his resignation, but it was not
accepted and will be taken up at
the next regular meeting.

Gets Finger Hurt

F. S. Blake of Griffith, while
assisting Tetzlaff Bros. to unload
a car of coal, met with a painful
accident. They were putting
the coal in boxes and while at
tempting to lift a box a big lump
of coal rolled down against his
hand cutting and slightly crush
ing one Of the finger joints. Mr..
blake went up to the First Nat
ional Bank, where he met Mr.,
Schellenger.
While not a practicing physi-
clan, Mr.. ScheIlenger reformed
a semi-surgical operation on the
injured member and prescribed
some Enament out of his first
aid to the injured cabinet" which
fixed it up in fine shape. In the
absence of an anaesthetic the
patient went dead" for a little
while but was soon revived,
put on a sled and sent home.
At last accounts Mr.. Blake was
getting along fine and is loud in
his praise Of Or. ScheIIenger's
Remedies.

LA JOLLA CAL, Dec. 2.
Dear Comrade Smith & Comrades
of the past:
l hope you will receive this by
the time you meet. | promised
to write the commander, but |
am not certain about his post
office address,. We arrived here
ten days ago and we are feeling
better, much better indeed. Sis
ter and | were walking out yes
terday when she said if | keep
on | will have the California gait
and she would not be able to keep
up with me. Everyone here
seems to feel good and walk a.
long lively. We are out ID miles
at San Diego at one Of the finest
suburbs, no saloons, not even
wine or beer can be served with
meals. Our neighbors seem to
want to make it comfortable for
US. Three days before Thanks
giving a neighbor brought us a
nice fat mince pie and four ripe
tomatoes from her own garden,
for our Thanksgiving and this
is like all those to around us,
which to strangers makes il very
pleasant. We are located about
one block from the beach and
can see and hear the swish of
the rolling sea at all times and
the bathers go in every day at
about noon to have frolic. 1t
is said the water is but two de-
grees colder than the atmosphere
hence when the breezes are cold
it is warmer in the water than
out. We have fish, meat and all
vegetables brought to the door
every day, so we are very sure
of something to eat at all times.

lation. have met but one old

= A. L. Davis has shown great
enterprise in having the snow
hauled away from the front of
his garage. Evans and Bennett
and Tetzlaff Bros. have emulat-
his example as a matter of ne
cessity. The other business men
are inclined to think that the job
of hauling the snow away be-
longs to the town board. There
can be no question but that the
snow shonld be removed.

Town Board Has
Interesting Session

The adjourned meeting of the
Town Board last Friday evening
was an occasion of a little more
than usual interest. In spite of
the opposition that has been Of
fered against the purchase of
the Odd Fellows building by G.
S. Scott, who claims he is acting
in the interest of a considerable
number of the taxpayers of Ar
vada, a committe composed of
Campbell and Buck was appoint
ed by a unanimous consent of
the Board to negotiate with the
representatives of the lodge for
the purchase of the building.
The purchase price, as has been
stated heretofore, is 81, 500, $500
cash, $500 in one year from date
Of purchase and $500 in two
years from date, with interest
at 6 per cent per annum on de-
deferred payments.
Mr.. Scott declares he will sue
for an injunction, and has Sc
cured the services of an attorney
in the case. While he says he is
voicing the sentiments of ma
'jority of the people, he is.bearing
the expense Of the preliminary
proceedings from his own pocket,
except that he claims to have
men back of him who have prom
ised to be his bondsmen.
Messrs. Campbell and Buck
are persistent in proceeding with
the negotiations, claiming that
they have the same right to pur-
chrse the property that a town
board would have to purchase a
piece of land for park property,
which would be of no use for
such purpose until it was i'm
proved.
The Enterprise does not at
attempt to sit as judge in this
this case, nor presume to pro-
pound the law. There of course
is some argument on either side
of the question.
The main point, it seems to US
is this: Do the majority of the
taxpayers wish to purchase this
property? If they do, then the
Town Board should have their
support. If they do not, then
the Town Board should know it
before the deal is closed. The
matter has been in contempla-
ton sometime and until at this
meeting Monday night of last
week when Mr.. Scott addressed
the Board, little or no objection
to the purchase had been heard.
If it is a matter that deeply
concerns the taxpayers, it is
their duty to let the Board know
where they stand on it and their
wishes would most certainly be
respected, without plunging the
town into unnecessary litigation,
that will cost one-third of the
total cost of the proposed pur-
chase.
AS valuations go, 81, 500 is
probably reasonable for the prop
erty. 1t would furnish a per-
manent meeting place for the
Board and all other public meet
ings and save the city an expense
of 500 a year aside from the ac-
crued interest in the property,
which may become more valu-
able. In five years from now it
might furnish a good location for
a permanent city hall to be built.
Another argument used by those
favoring the purchase is that the
county has given the town some
of the iron cells from the old
county Jail which could be in
stalled at once and thus the town
would have Jail as well as city
hall.
The arguments against the
parchase are first, that the pur-
tif.se is illegal and second, that
