Court House Site?

The question OF site for a court
house in this county is something
that should soon be settled. 1t is
not thing for the exclusive decision
Of the people Of Ordway either. Ev-
cry voter 10 the county has right to
express his views'in the matter, and
the New Era will open a column for
the discussion of the question. We
would like TO have this matter given
considerable attention by residents NJ
this city because Of the fact that II IL
to be located here, however. taxpay-
ers from every portion Of the county
have their say coming.
There have been three propositions
made the board Of county cnmmIs-
sioners. One is the southeast quar-
ter OF block 80. across the street west
Of the Evangelical church. This site
has has been offered for 5000. John
Vinyard made an offer OF block IS,
.thirty-two lots, for s95 per lot or
total OF o.. .040; also block ~ less lots
II, ia, 10, 20 and 81 for 800 per lot.
The third offer is the west half OF
block 10 for o., 900. the location being
Just east of the school building.
There are all manner of ideas as to
where this court house should be
built, and the desire 70 enhance the
value of some piece Of property Of
private ownership should not inter-
fere with the selection Of a location
which will be attractive for q public
building Of this kind. Let us have
site the entire city and county will
be proud of no matter where we may
have our places of residence, and re-
gardless of how much we would like
To have something done to add few
dollars to the valuation Of property
We may swu. It is 4 public building
we are TO locate for the use Of the
taxpayers of Crowley county.
Then there Is the question Of price
that should be paid. and here the
New Era would regret to see a cheap
site purchased merely for the sake Of
saving a few dollars now. The coun-
ty, when II does build court house,
will erect one at least in keeping with
the needs OF county OF this size and
wealth. There are few who would
build e5, 900 residence on q $50 lot.
and It is believed that the county
commissioners would refrain from
erecting q valuable court house in a
poor location because 1t could be
bought for few dollars less than
some site more desirable.

Denney Offers
Some Advice
Denny Says:
Growers should organize,
Own the shipping sheds,
Have 4 manager,
Buy their own crates,
Plant the very best seeds.

kets.
Mr.. Denney is strong In his belief
that there should be q more system
atized organization Of growers and
that general manager with expert.
euce in the fruit and produce busi-
ness, should be employed At salary
that would secure an expert In the
business.
"In Virgiuia there is the Eastern
Shore of Virginia Growers associa.
tion." said Mr.. Denney, '..and they
pay their manager 5000 per year.
He has the right to buy aud sell. and
the growers have had larger returns
since this system WIS ADOPTED than
ever before" He also claims the
growers or railuad companies should
own their shipping sheds stating az
his reasons that IL would be hard to
get other shippers TO come In here 10
case the present four 6rms refused n'
ship during season. Tho new firms
would have 70 60 TO this expense and
they would hesitste in doing 90. He
also advocates the growers buying
their own crate msterial. becoming
independent Of the commission men
In that respect. 81
