and will be able to do the work.

is why a Jury of six men born
and raised in this Parish with
one exception, turned down men
who we're available, men who
we're born and raised in the Par
ish, who know every bill and al
most every man in the country
!, districts where the roads are to
, be built, men who have practical
; experience in handling labor and
: who know the condition of the
! soils, the capacity of the streams
and who have had a lifetime OBJ
, servatiOn of the wear and tear OF
5 our roads, why this Jury push
4 ed these men aside and named a
\ man who has been over but a few
e miles of the roads, who knows
d none of the people, who has had
d no experience in road making,
:, who has just arrived" in these
S parts, whose ability, capacity OF
e responsibility is unknown.

TWO GUESSES ON
ARABIC DECISION
Wilson Will Strain q Point In Favor
Of Germany Or Convene Con-
gress In Extra Session
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

Omitted Press Staff Corresponding
WASHINGTON, August 23.--Thc
American attitude on the Arabic case
will not be decided Oh ''ffagmentary
evidence" said Il high official. This
indicates that ii may require several
weeks to reach a determination OF
the facts.
The question Of the nationality OF
Mrs. Bruigiere and of DR.. Wood. vic.
tins of the disaster. has been raised
in the state department Ii is not
clear rs TO why this doubt has hecn
raised as 10 their Americanism.
There are two gucsscs here as TO
the possible action of the administra-
tion. The first is that President Viii
son will strain a point to escape i'll
volving America in a war with Ger
many.
The second is that the president is
prepared to sever diplomatic relations
with Germany. call an extra session of
congress and take steps looking to pos.
sible hostilitics unless the kaiser
comes TO time" Immediately.
There is no way of telling which
guess is tho correct one.

WANTED-Two more bad bulls for
the Rodeo.
Manager Garcia has three bad bulls
for the bull fight Rodeo week. but he
wants two more. If any one has a
bad bull TO spare now is his chance
to get rid of him.
Four Spanish bullhghters are now
on the ground ready for the fight that
will take place Rodeo week. Their
names lead this column Angel Bilbao
has been in this country eleven years
and lives at Jack Creek. The others
have just recently arrived from Spain.
All of them are stopping at the Depot
Hotel.
Mr.. Bilbao when seen this morning
by the reporter for the Independent
said that If they couldn't get two more
bulls they would use COWS. 1--WE pre-
fer bulls" said Bilbao, for COWS are
twice as bad as bulls when you get a
fighter. We have two bad cows al
ready engaged, one from Jack Creek
and one from the Harbin ranch at
SHELTON"
The three bad bulls are now on the
Joe Patano ranch in independence
valley. One is not so bad and is only
being used for practice.
The bulls will be brought down Sep
tember 1st to the Southern Pacific
stock yards and tried out.
Altogether there will be eighteen
people with the bullfghters. The ex-
hibltion will be an exact replica of
a Spanish bullfight except no horses
and no bulls will be killed The Ne.
vada law does not permit any killing
of animals in n bull fight.
The eighteen bull fighters will form
an interesting part Of the parade.
Their uniforms are now being made
by Mrs. Joe PatanO at her HON on
Jack Creek. The fighters will be all
gay I'm colors and fancy knee breeches
Just like they do in the old country.

COLUMBUS LANDING

The members of the local council of
the Knights of Columbus have COM
pleted their plans for their annual
Landing Day banquet, to be held at
Hotel Bells on the evening of Oct.
18th. Each year the Knights cele-
brate Columbus day with banquet,
at which one or more addresses are
made by prominent men of the state
and country, in addition to the must
cal program. The committee in
charge was indeed very fortunate at
this time in securing Hon. A. H. Reid
of this city as the principal speaker.
J. Parnell Egan of Chicago, the great
Irish tenor of international fame, will
be the feature of the musical pro-
gram. Edward P. German will act
as toast master and Patrick T. Stone,
the local Grand Knight will make a
few remarks appropriate to the occa-
sion. From all reports, this banquet,
which is for the Knights and their
ladies only, promises to be the most
successful one ever held in the city.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements are: w. S. Schlaefer. z.
T. Stone, E. P. German, ]. S. Coel
and Louis Nequette.
