GOOD ROAD
BOND ISSUE

The Western Liberal is in receipt
of a communication from W. s. Cox,
well known Silver City business man
and chairman of the road committee
of the Silver City Chamber of Com.
merce, relative to the encouragement
in this region Of n petition to the
county commissioners Cor the purpose
that an election might be ordered to
determine whether ct not road and
bridge bonds to the amount Of $780,.
900 be authorized and issued.
Grant county, with an assessed val
uation this year of over s24,0OO,OOO,
is allowed to bond itself to a maxi
mum of per cent, or approximately
100000. The outstanding bonded
and floating debt o. ;he county is
about 100000. The voting of $780,.
900 additional in bonds for road build.
ing would increase this to $780,.
10000, less than the maximum allowed
by law.
The road bond issue proposed would
run for 20 years and draw 5 per cent
interest, which would increase the tax
rate about $1.25 on each $1,000 Of
property in the county. Thus it is
seen that the burden would be SO
slight as to be scarcely noticed by the
taxpayers.
The law provides that in order to
secure the calling of an election tc
vote on bonds, 10 per cent of the
qualified voters must sign the peti.
tions. Thus approximately 400 names
only would be necessary.
Thereupon the petitions would be
presented to the board of county
commissioners, which would revise the
signatures on the petitions and, il
satisfied that these were bonafide
would within go days and not less
than 80 days issue proclamation
calling an election, giving the voters
of the entire county an opportunity
of expressing their will at the polls
on the proposition.
Grant county, ranking n very close
second to Colfax, the richest county
in the state in assessed valuation, has
one Of the poorest road systems in the
state. The need of better roads has
long been recognized as an absolute
necessity, but the funds available al
present make their construction i'm
possible.
The bond issue proposed would
pave the way for the building of q
network of good roads in q cse sec
TORS of the county where the traffic
demands improved highways and
would return to the Taxpayers thou
sands of dollars in indirect revenue.
What can be done with adequate
funds for road building has beer
demonstrated by the new Silver City
Tyrone road, built during the pas
few months by the state at an ex
pense of about $4,000 This road
which is to be extended on to Lords
burg, constitutes one of the fines
highways in the entire state. if not il
the whole Southwest and will endur,
for years to come.

Confident that the Imperial answer
would be prompt and affirmative, Cap
tain Boy-Ed and his bride-to-be be-

oped the series of pilot" sensations

and eliminating in the demand by the
American government for their recall.
The captain waited vainly for the ex-
pected word from the Kaiser. In
stead, last December, came official
word from Berlin that the Kaiser had
complied with the American request
for recall of the two attaches.
Arriving in Berlin, Boy-Ed was
greeted by a host of friends, delighted
to see him but expressing great sur
prise in questioning him: But where
is the bride?"
The mortified captain had only one
answer: His Majesty ignored my re-
quest for his permission Then at
last he learned what had happened.
The Kaiser, he was informed, had
complied with the request, and a wire
less dispatch was sent to the captain.
1t developed that the American naval
officer acting as censor at the wireless
station, regarded with the utmost sus-
picion this message. So he promptly
suppressed it, and Captain Boy-Ed
and his brfde-to-be never heard of it.

whenever I think of the first three
or four years of Burr's married life.

my veins as when / watched him, from

November day long ago, scramble out
from beneath the pile of some dozen
human beings and start out on that
record run of his. Five, ten fifteen,
twenty yards would he slip by them

almost half way across that field, and
fall with a thud finally tackled square
~ around his waist, five yards from the
goal post, With broken rib, too, we
learned later!
"It seemed to me, during Burr's
struggle for Elsie's health and happi-
ness, that he was putting UP as grim
and invincible a fight as in that game
of his years ago on the gridiron. He
hung on tight to his place in the law
firm. Doctors and nurses bills were

When Snakes Were Killed
Ghosts Left This House

Barboursville, w. Va, Nov 8. -
The mystery that has for years sur
rounded the haunted house on the
hill back of here has been solved as
a Jesuit of Green Simkins, a Logan
county miner, his wife and his six
children moving into the house.
Peculiar noises have emanated from
the building at night, and for months
weird stories have been told of the
wraiths holding high carnival there.
SimlSins, a stranger, didn't know the
house was haunted" Mrs. Simkins
had occupied the place only a short
time when the mysterious sound ter
iitied her.
She took a gun and went upstairs,
where she found the cause of the noise
in the maneuvers of a dozen black
snakes that had taken charge of that
part of the building. She was so
frightened she dropped the gun and
screamed for help. Two men passing
killed the snakes.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHIHUAHUA CITY, June 7.-An antiAmerican riot, melted by a mass meeting to protest against the con tinued presence of American troops in Mexican territory, was put down heru tonight by the military after a dem onstration had been made against the American consulate and stones hurled at the Foreign club, in the belief that it was an American institution.
 The meeting as a protest against prospective American intervention, as well as against the presence of the punitive force, was called for the Gen. tennial theater But the theater proved too small to contain the crowd so that an overflow meting was held i later in the Alameda near the Amer ican consulate. There various orators continued their speeches of protest. l The crowd snatched the consulate signs

which were later recovered by the police
 After the trouble commenced, Gen eral Lopez arrived on the scene with troops and placed a strong guard around the consulate. The mob then contented itself with throwing a few stones at the Foreign club. Later when the club was in darkness, some of the rioters returned and broke more glass. The military thereupon placed heavy guard around the club.
 The few Americans who remain in Chihuahua, and the other foreigners were not molested, and no private houses were attacked. The demon stration was aimed not so much against the Americans as individuals as against the American governments policy of retaining troops in Mexico without, as the rioters believe, any apparent reason
