IMPORTANT ISSUE INVOLVED
IN SUIT NOW Being HEARD
BEFORE THE DISTRICT COURT

brought out in the suit of the To
nopah Sewer and Drainage Company
vs.. the Tonopah Mining Company for
the sum of $2965 alleged to be due
for rental of sewer constructed In
1906 to connect the mining com
panys residences and offices with
the system operating In the town.
The suit was instituted six months
ago, when Manager Grant Crumley
found he could not elicit any reply
to a demand for a sediment and ap-
pealed to the courts for Judgment
The Tonopah Mining Company re
piled to the suit that the sewer com
pany was occupying the streets and
alleys of the town OF Tonopah which
never had been dedicated to public
use and therefore was tenant OF
the mining company and that the
sewer service appraised at $50 a
month was a reasonable considera-
lion for the use of ground
This contention raises nice Issue

II the Tonopah Mining Company in
sists on this course of reasoning that
every firm and individual using the
streets Of Tonopah is subject to
similar demand from the defendant
corporation. This would place team
sters. expressmen and automobile
owners at the mercy of a private cor
poration and implies that the town
Or county should not levy taxes for
maintaining or improving the prop
erty of others If the stand taken
by the mining company is upheld
then II will be illegal for any house
holder or storekeeper to enter his

district affected, without paying trih-
ute to the mining company
The sewer company has rendered
service since 1906 and 1t was sup
posed there was some sort OF an
agreement between the former man
agement and the Tonopah Mining
Company. but when the Nevada pub
lie service commission investigated
and found no explanation OF ths

pany was called on the carpet to ex

COME ON, YE PIONEERS H. H. BELT IS PENAlIzED
COMMITTEE Is NAMED TO RE-
CEIVE TRAIL BLAZERS.
Commercial Club Also Appoints Six
Boosters to Arrange for Editorial
Meeting in July.

The Commercial club has appointed
a committee consisting of Messrs. Lee
Fenton, A. B. Muir and Mrs. Metzger,
to receive the pioneers on Saturday
of next week, which day has been set
aside for the entertainment of the
pioneers of Polk county at the chau-
tauqua. 1t is the purpose of the COM
mittee to have the Dallas band play
on the street at l o. 'clock Of that day,
and then proceed to the chautauqua
grounds. 1t is expected that some five
hundred free tickets will be issued to
those citizens who have resided in
Polk county thirty years and upwards.
In addition to making the above ar
rangements, the clubs session We'd
nesday evening was devoted largely to
the encouragement of local industries,
several talks along this line being
made by members. The Observer was
paid a pretty compliment for the part
it is playing in the development of
the resources of Dallas and Polk
county through the presentation Of
their advantages in its columns. Be-
cause of the increasing demand for
Dallas newspapers by contemplating
settlers in the Middle West, the club
deemed it advisable to buy space in
the The Observer that these inquirers
may receive everyday information
concerning this locality.
For The Willamette Valley Press
association meeting in Dallas in July,
a committee was appointed to make
the necessary arrangements, and it
was also decided that the club should
give those members of the press at
tending the meeting a banquet during
their stay here. The committee con-
sists of Messrs. Gates, Fiske, Allgood,
Miles, Craven and Soehren.
The oiling of the Salem road from
Brunk's corner to West Salem was
discussed and it was determined that
Salem should take the initiative in
this work, as it receives equal benefit
with the towns of Polk county.
Although the attendance upon the
session was comparatively small, on
account of a counter attraction, the
manifested by those pres
ent made up for what was lacking
