Federal Court Rules County
Must Pay Its Share Of
Paving.

The opinion of the United
States Circuit Court in the case
Of Nipple & McSpadden VS..
Bates county wherein the curt
rules against the county has
been received by the county's at
torneys. Under this decision of
the court the county must pay
the amount of the tax bills with
interest exclusive of the cost OF
one-fourth of the street intersec-
tions. The suit grew out of the
issuance of about $1,000 tax
bills against the county as pro-
perty holder to pay for its share
(one-half) of the brick paving
around the court house square,
the court refusing to pay. Suit
was brought in the United States
Court at Kansas City, and . de-
cision rendered for the county.
The case was appealed and this
decision reversed.

ESTES SMITH.

Estes Smith was born near
Jamesport, in Davis county, Mis-
souri,, February 6, 1856, and was
there reared to young manhood.
After several years spent in the
west he came to Bates county,
locating at Maysburg about
thirty-five years ago where he
engaged in the mercantile bust
ness for about one year when he
removed onto the farm where he
resided at the time of his death.
He was united in marriage to
Miss Missouri f. Staley in 1888
and to this union were born sew
On children, five Of whom, sur.
vive him. The surviving chill
dren are: Marvin, who resides
in Montana, Robert, who is in
Washington, Stephen, principal
of the Harrisonville public
schools, Clyde and Clarence,
both of whom reside on the home
place.
He was a lifelong Democrat
and took a prominent part in
political matters in this section
of the state. Several times dur
ing his residence in the county
he was elected to township Of
flee and in 1906 he was elected
.Judge of the County Court for
the North District, and served
one term in this capacity. He
was later appointed upon the
Commission to -superintend the
initial work on Drainage Dis
trict No. I. and in 1914 was
again elected Judge of the Coun-
ty Court, having served less
than six months at the time OF
his death.
He was a member of the Ma
sonic fraternity and member
of the Modern Woodmen OF
America. He was member OF
the Aaron Methodist church and
was one of the trustees at the
time of his death.
In the death of Estes Smith
Bates county loses one of her
foremost citizens and the world
has lost a good man. Honorable
upright, faithful and courageous
he was one whose friendship was
an honor and his acquaintance a
pleasure. Never was a public
official more faithful or con.
scientious in the performance OF
his duties and never was man
more loyal to his friends or more
honorable in his dealings with
his fellow man. His death will
be keenly felt by his host OF
friends in this section of the
state and his sorrowing family
have the deep sympathy of all.

FIRST AND FOREMOST.

Very often the ability Of a company
or some one member Of that company
is considerably over.estimated, but it
can be taken as an absolute fact that
there is no possible way in which tne
work Of Mr.. Billy S. Clifford can be.
"Walk This Way" is light comedy
that is full of snap and ginger and still
retains story through its entirety
which for simplicity and beauty, will
not be equalled in a long while. This
unusually clever piece will be seen at
Grand Opera House on Friday evening,
September IL.
The staging OF the piece has required
untiring patience ard with wardrobe
that will seldom be rivalled, it is no
wonder that the company has firmly
established itself in the hearts Of com
edy lovers as well as those catering to
the musical variety as shown in this
bill. There are two distinct features
combined into one ideally perfect
whole. A ladies brass band Of u
pieces is carried this year and will rem
der popular concert program on the
streets at $3.50 p. m, and again IN front
of tine theatre that evening.

GRAIN CROP LARGE
IN PACIFIC STATES
Northwest Section Harvested
100000 Bushels This
Year, 1t Is Estimated

Portland, Or, Sept. l5.-The Pacific
Northwest this year gathered $ll9,2O0,-
600 bushels of grain compared with
III, 100000 bushels a year ago, accord
ing to statistics compiled Wy Hyman
II. Cohen, crop expert of the Portland
journal. The harvest is practically com
pleted in the three states, only very
small area remaining uncut.
The size of the wheat crop is the
biggest surprise. In July, previous to
the harvest, the estimate of 66,000,O00
bushels was considered by some to be
far too high The actual harvest shows
total yield of 69,300,000 bushels for
the three states, 100000 greater than
the July estimate and 100000 bushels
greater than last season. 1t was the
biggest crop of wheat ever harvested
in the Pacific northwest.
With its immense acreage of both
spring and winter sowing it is but nat
ural that Washington fields should lead
the total of the three states. The
Evergreen state this season produced
a total wheat crop of 39,OOO,000 bush
els, Oregon 100000 bushels and Ida.

POSTOFF|CE
ROBBED OF $50 CASH

Same Safe Blown Open By
Robbers Last Year and
Not Yet Repaired

TIL Hubbard postoffiee was robbed
last night Of 800 in cash, $l35 in stamps
and two checks aggregating $50 with
som other papers of more or less value.
The robbers did not find it necessary
to blow the safe as it was the last
postoffice safe cracked in this county
over q year ago and had not been re.
paired since. The robbers broke open
the section house at hubbard, took out
what crow bars and other tools they
needed, and then pried open the rear
door of the postoffice.
The stamps taken included 5000 two
cent stamps, $500 one cent stamps and
the remainder were five, eight and ten
cent stamps. There is no clue to the
robbers who worked silently and left no
marks, indicating tina, tney knew their
business. The store was locked up at
about midnight last night and the rob
berry was not discovered until this morn
ing when the store was opened Sheriff
Esch was notified but with nothing to
work on the officers are seriously han
dicapped in their work. Last year
there was an epidemic Of postoffice rob.
berries and the work was only stopped
when q burglar was killed at st. Paul
and the two pals, Grady and Numeyer
were captured and are now serving
sentences in the pen.
