Board Of County
Commissioners Meets

The board of county commits
sioners is i'm session and will con-
tinue the remainder of the week
at least. The board met this
morning and the commissioners
at once took up the bills.
Under a decision of the supreme
court, bills can be audited and al
lowed only every three months,
at the January, April, July and
October meetings of the board.
No bills have been allowed for
the past three months and there
are a large number of them on
hand to be considered and acted
upon.
1t will be a hard task TO go over
them all and it is very doubtful if
the commissioned will be able
TO finish them i'm the two days OF
this week, to say nothing of the
other matters which viii come M
for consideration and it is yer!
probable that the board will be in
session the greater part of mex
week.

Unique Place
to Write Contract

Erred Boutwell, has entered into
"a contract to sell Il. b. Hay ten
Mons of potatoes. There was
some talk over the size of the
potatoes and it was agreed that
none should be smaller than a
certain egg that happened to be
in a basket in the Union Meat
Market. AS there is a difference
ir the size of eggs and in order
that there should be no mistake,
the contract was written out on
the egg, fifty dollars was paid
down, the balance to be paid when
the potatoes are delivered and the
egg with the contract written on
it, deposited in the safe i'm the
market. This is probably the
first time that contract has ever
been drawn on an egg.

Kellogg SmeltRr
is Not Certain

For some time the pale of Kel-
logg have been working for
smelter for their town and week
ago we're certain that it was al,
assured thing. IL is an assured
thing that the Bunker Hill & Sui
livan will put a smelter but it is
not at all certain that it will be
located at Kellogg, according to
Myron A. Folsom, attorney for the
company.
81 am authorized by the Bunk
er Hill & Sullivan company to say
That it has definitely decided to
build a smelter," said Mr.. Fol-
som. THE location has not been
decided upon, however, as we are
seeking a point that offers the
most favorable operating and
transportation facilities. MAJ
urally, we are interested in the
future of Kellogg, because the
company's properties are there,
bu. the question Of selecting a
site is contingent upon business
reasons rather than sentiment"

Last Tuesday Attorney F. c..
Highsmith filed two suits in the
district court here. C. M. Bcnt-
ly is plaintiff i'm both actions
which are on p~omissory notes.
Herman Saxon is defendant i'm one
sut and John Clint in the other.
<The Saxon note is for one hundred
land forty dollars and the Clint
note is for three hundred and
sixty-five dollars. Besides ask
ing for judgment for the face OF
the notes and interest; attorney S
fees are asked i'm both cases; one
hundred dollars IN the Saxon case
and one hundred and fifty dollars
in the Clint case. Both notes
we're given to II. l.. Pemberton.
and. it is alleged. we're assigned
by him to Bently before matur-
ity.
These actions are an after
math of the suit brought by Fred
Haas against Pemberton last
summer for injury to horse
owned by Haas by bull owned
by pemberton, in which Haas Sc
cured a judgment against Penn
berton. Both Saxon and Clint
we're made defendants in that
suit and the notes given by them
to Pemberton garnisheed. They
made answer setting forth the
fact that the notes were not yet
due. Both Mr.. Saxon and Mr
Clint stand ready to pay the notes
but do not know which party is
entitled to receive the money, anc
although perfectly ready to pay
may be obliged to pay consider
able costs before the matter is de-
termined.
