PRESCOTT NEVADA FRIDAY.

and the manner in which they took part in all the discussions Showed that they are deeply interested in the mat ter of improving the roads. Speeches were made by II. B. Me Kenzie, C. C. Hamby, T. C. McRae, M. B. Seigler and others. After these speeches the meeting was thrown open for general discussion and all seemed to be of the opinion that the time had come for enlargement in our operat- ions. Many plans for road improve ment were discussed. At the Over seers meeting at night the same sub ject was under discussion and on We'd nesday morning "How shall we better conditions" was the theme As they were deeper into the subject every one present seemed to realize that we were working --on hard problem and yet blem solved. The final conclusion was that it would take time to develop plan that will finally give satisfactory results in road building. There was one other glaring fact that stared us in the face, too, and that was that if we ever get anything in a material way done we must doit Ourselves.
 Acting upon these principles, lst. that we must make an advance move; End, that we are the people to do,these things; 3rd. there must be some means of raising funds to do these things with, the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, that 1t is the sense of this body that an improvement district be formed in Nevada County for the pur- pose of building good roads and turn bikes and that said district be com posed of such townships as elected to be part of 1t, Township Committees were appoint ed in every Township represented for the purpose of boosting the good roads movement, and like Committees will be appointed in those Townships that were not represented, as soon ss the County Judge can confer w h the Overseers.

CARS HORSES TO
 EUROPE FROM ARK ANSAS

More than seven carloads of horses have been shipped from Little Rock, Conway and Benton in the last few weeks to St. Louis and Memphis deal CTS who are buying the animals to fill contracts from the European nations that are at war. The consignments largely have been sent to New Orleans where large shipments of horses and mules are being collected to be taken to England France and other warning nations.
 Buyers have been obtaining horses weighing 100 poupnds and up in this part of the State within the last few weeks buying hem as artillery horses. Smaller animals for use as cavalry horses were purchased until a short time ago, but it is said that contracts for these animals have been filled. Few mules are being bought in this State.
 Prices for cavalry horses ranged from S100 to $125, while the animals for artillery service are bringing from $125 to $40, according to local deal CTS. Owing to the prevalence of the mouth and hoof disease in the North nearly all of the consignments of ami mals collected at Little Rock, Conway and at Benton, have been inspected by government inspectors before they were shipped. While none was found affected with the disease it was re- quirement that had to be followed. Some of the shipments were held up for ten days until inspections could be completed
 St. Louis, Oklahoma City and Mem phis dealers in horses and mules have been active in this State in filling con tracts, the St Louis dealers getting mules and horses in Missouri; the Ok lahoma concern buying in Oklahoma and Texas, and the Memphis concerns buying in this State, Tennessee and adjoining states.

PRESIDENT WILL OPPOSE
Wilson Does Not Favor Inquiry as to Military Strength of the
 United States

Washington, Nov. 30.-While Pres ident Wilson is not expected to seek to mold the position of congress on the resolution of Representative Gardner for an investigation of the military strength of the United States officials said tonight he would oppose the investigation if asked for an opinion. The president is understood to think that such an inquiry is un- timely and would not disclose any in- formation not already at hand.
 The presidents position was made clear tonight by administration effi- cials after it became known that he had written Mr. Gardner letter say ing he was ready to discuss the ques- tion with him at any time. The president hopes this nation may play an important part in ending the Flu ropean war and his advisors believe suggestions for peace would come with bad grace from a country in the throes of discussion of possible war.
 Another reason given by admins tration leaders for opposing the Gard ner resolution that in his speech in the house MT Gardner attacked Ger many and that they think the adopt on of the resolution would make it ap- pear the action was directed at the nation.

 'l'id she get it started?" cried the amazed Mrs. Jones. ''It blew her out the kitchen window!"
 That's all right my dear." re turned the philosophic Jones "It was her afternoon out, anyway"

Hull, England. - Three churches
are reported to have been partially
destroyed, the gas works set on fire,
two railway platforms destroyed and
numerous buildings damaged when
four German cruisers bombarded
Scarborough, famous seaside resirt
of England today.
Thrown into panic by the shells
which crashed into the town from
the warships, people poured from
their homes and hurried to the rail-
way station, taking trains for Hull
and other towns. The early morning
train reaching here brought many
refugees. They brought stories of
great damage done to the town.
Between forty and fifty shells fell
in Scarborough. The three churches
were among the first buildings
struck. The exploding of the shells
set the buildings on fire.
AS the German gunners got the
range other buildings were damaged
and the entire town thrown into the
widest confusion.
The German cruisers approached
staFtlingly close to the coast line.
With the firing of their first shot, they
seemed to get the range Immediately
and then rained shells into all sec
tons of the twn.
She bombardment began at 1855
a. m. The train which arrived at Hull
was just leaving the station as the
shells began to fall. Practically the
entire population of the town had
rushed into the streets, and those
nearest the station rushed aboard the
train for safety.

Inc latest reports merely stated
that the battle was proceeding. No
details could be obtained owing to
the censorship which has been es-

sides were widely circulated but were
without confirmation.

attacked the German cruisers which
bombarded Hartlepool today after
fifty shells had been fired upon the
town and great dagame inflicted.
The destroyers assailed the Ger
