GOOD STRONG KICK FROM
ROAD DISTRICT NO. 10

Editor Caldwell Tribune-We tax
payers wish the county commissioners
would let us know if Hickok. the road
overseer, has right to hire a nonres-
ident on the roads all the time when
the resident taxpayers get no work.
Of course we realize Hickok gets
rake off from the mans board, which
helps buy gasoline for that old noisy
automobile Hickok has been able to
buy with the special road tax we tax
payers are compelled to pay each year.
Now if our overseer and this Caldwell
man are paupers we think you COM
missioners should not ask the tax
payers in District Is to bear the bur-
den alone, but send them to the poor
farm and all help pay the bill. Since
Hickok got his auto, which by the way
is little short of a tin rattlebox, he
drives it along the river grade with
little respect to life or limb and has
even taken down the signs autos,
go over the HILL" and is now circulate
ing another petition for another special
work on the roads for the coming
year. Now if Eddy has worked his
son on the road in violation of the
law. YOU SOlllIllSSlOIeIS nave allOWeQ
the bill. Of course we realize that if
kickok would move to town in top
buggy for ten days so as to be eligible
to appointment as street commission
er on plea to his neighbors that he
had such belly-ache he must be close
to a doctor, he will do most anything
to get the taxpayers money, but as
he failed to get the appointment his
interior department ceased to be hos
tile and he moved back to the farm the
next day and resumed his usual daily
task of dragging the road at 5000 per.
Now Mr.. Commissioners, as we tax
payers in Road District Is contribute
some toward your salaries please take
time and answer some of these things
OF VIC may feel there is graft even be-
yond the road overseer.
A TAX PAYER.

FIRE LOSS AT WILDER.
Local Agent, A. I. Myers, Settles nj
Full.

The fire bug seems to be having his
inning. Caldwell has experienced sew
eral local fires of lote. among them
the First National Bank loss which
was quite heavy. The frame building
owned by M. c. Keith at Wilder, con-
tanning his stock of confectionery. CT
gars, ETC., has burned to the ground.
Mr.. Keith closed his place of business
as usual, late in the evening and went
to his home about mile in the coun-
try where he lives. His building was
discovered afire about 2 a. m. Like SO
many fires, the cause is unknown. A
match and mouse probably did the
mischief. Mr.. Keith knew nothing of
The: fire until he came to town the next
morning to open his store for bust
ness and found his place in ashes. The
following letter explains the rest OF
the story.
To Whom it May Concern:
| have just received from A. l. My
ers, $572.25, as settlement of my recent
fire loss in which my building and
stock burned. This loss has been set
tied with great promptness and to my
entire satisfaction by Mr.. Myers. l
can heartily recommend him and his
companies to anyone wishing good
hire insurance.
Very truly yours,
M. c. KEITH.
