Mr. English and Mr.. Taylor both
spoke briefly, declaring that they had
thoroughly agreed with Mr. Webster
with reference to the pixies. After
some further discussion resolution
70 consummate the deal, turn over the
warrants and open the gates on tomor-
row, with the proviso that bond be
made by Messrs, Looney and Rainey
TO DO the work required within fifteen
days, was agreed upon
Pending the adoption of the resolu-
tion, DIR. E. A. Timmons, on behalf of
the famous mass meeting of August
IA, read long protest against the pur-
chase, He discussed the various enab-
ling acts Of the legislature and reached
the conclusion that the action of the
court was illegal He also assailed
the price paid for the pixies as too
high. Likewise he insisted that the
great majority Of the people were
against the purchase. at $1,000 per
mile. .lt
County Attorney Whitthorne was
called upon for his opinion. He ex-
pressed the view that the acts under
which the purchase was made were
still in full force and had not been
repealed by the act Of 1915.
II was also brought out that Messrs.
Looney and Rainey would be individ-,
ually obligated to make the title to
the turnpike properties good.
Mr. Hayes did not think that the
court was under any obligation to give
Messrs, Looney and Rainey any addi-
tional time to get their pixies in sthe
same condition that they were on June
IA. He declared that the people were
opposed to the purchase; that the
price was too high. He also denied
that the people knew that the court
had met In Its special session to buy
the pixies on June IA. This was de-
MED by Justice Davis, who called upon
the two representatives Of the press
to witness that publication had been
made OF the purpose for which the
court was called in special session.
This led TO rather wordy passage
between Justice Hayes and Davis,
which was ended when Judge Nc
knight told them that unless order
was restored he would have to fine
somebody. Mr.. Davis then said that
he would apologize to the court forl
any words spoken by him that mighe
have caused any disorder. 4
There was great rejoicing among
the people who had assembled to wit
ness the session when the roll was
called and the purchase Of the pixies
consummated. The court adjourned
sine die at 11:45.

Mr.. Overall was quite willing to dis
cuss the national outlook of the repub-
lican party. He said that, although
the entrance of Maine into the repub-

gressive voters were returning to the
republican party and that Wils0n
would not have such a walk-over as
had been expected, He said that, II as
many progressives returned to the
ranks in other states as had in Maine,
the republican ticket would have a
good chance of winning the presiden-
tial fight.

There are families scattered all over
the desert desiring to spend the
winter where their children can at
tend school, and this affords an OPP
portunity to live cheaply near their
claims and have good school advant-
ages.
There is move on foot to secure
rural free delivery by the auto meth
cd for great scope of country in
the desert, and have Taber for the
base. An auto leaving Taber and
running south along the Springfield
road about IL miles, then east 2
miles, north about 10 miles, east or
4 miles, north miles, west 7 miles
and south to Taber, would lay the
mail within easy reach of the greater
part of the population. 1t would en-
able the settlers to get great deal
of merchandise brought to them at
slight expense without leaving their
work. Some work would have to be
done on the roads to clear them Of
rocky spots, and the settlers are will
ing to shoulder this burden. Maps
of the route are being prepared with
view of submitting it to the postal
department and the inspector Of
